Fortescue Metals Group: Declining iron ore price forecast looms large

In today’s edition of ASX Top 200 Cap Stocks Down Under, Since we last wrote about -based Fortescue Metals Group on 2 March 2020, the miner’s share price dug itself out of its pandemic low and climbed to a record high above $25.
