The steelmaking staple advanced almost 3% in Singapore, after surging 18% over the previous two weeks. The briefing will include five senior officials from the National Development and Reform Commission, according to a notice from the government on Sunday, and there are expectations it might involve announcements on more public spending.
Beijing unleashed a slew of support measures — including interest-rate cuts and targeted support for the property sector — late last month, driving sharp gains in global metals prices.

Chinese industry delegates to LME Week said they believed that the policy package represented a significant shift by authorities to place more emphasis on reviving economic growth.

Iron ore futures in Singapore rose 1.6% to $110.30 a ton as of 11:36 a.m. local time after climbing as much as 2.6% earlier. Among base metals, Aluminum fell 0.3% to $2,645 a ton on the London Metal Exchange, while most other metals were little changed.
