With the cost of domestic projects high and return from iron ore expected to reach new lows, it’s no surprise companies like Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and Fortescue (ASX: FMG) have axed major projects. Perhaps in a few years, once wages have declined and the price of iron ore returns, we’ll start to see many more projects come online. However, it is estimated that supply of the steelmaking ingredient will exceed demand until 2017, so we are unlikely to see a massive upward trend for at least a couple of years.
