BEIJING, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Iron ore futures prices climbed on Friday to their highest levels in more than four months and headed for a weekly gain, as signs of recovery in steel consumption brightened demand outlook in top consumer China, where hopes of more stimulus revived.
The most-traded May iron ore contract on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) ended daytime trade 1.51% higher at 838.5 yuan ($115.75) a metric ton after touching the highest since October 8, 2024, at 844 yuan a ton earlier in the session.
