What is the current iron price per kg?
Iron is typically quoted one of two ways, and the “per kg” figure depends on which one you mean:
- Iron ore (used to make steel) is usually priced per tonne (not kg).
- Metallic iron products (like scrap or pig iron) may be quoted per tonne or per kg, depending on the market and supplier.
The exact price per kg “today” can’t be pinned to a single number without knowing which commodity and market you mean (iron ore vs scrap vs pig iron vs a specific product/grade), and also your country/currency.
Are you asking for iron ore or scrap iron?
Most people searching “iron price per kg” are actually looking for one of these:
- Iron ore (benchmark): often reported as a per-tonne price (commonly used in steelmaking). Convert to kg by dividing by 1,000.
- Scrap iron: usually priced by weight with grade and pickup/delivery terms.
If you tell me which one you mean, I can convert it to per kg in your preferred currency.
What country/currency and form should I use?
To give a usable “per kg today” price, I need:
1. Type: iron ore, scrap iron, pig iron, or another product
2. Location/market: e.g., China, US, EU, UK, India, etc.
3. Currency: INR, USD, EUR, etc.
4. Grade/quality (especially for scrap): e.g., shredded, HMS 1/2, etc.
How can you calculate per-kg from common quotations?
If you find a published per-tonne price, the conversion is:
- Price per kg = (price per tonne) / 1000
