Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - On December 3rd, the coke main contract closed at 1,624.5 yuan/ton, with an intraday increase of 0.40%. The spot price of Rizhao Port's quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke decreased week - on - week, while that of Qingdao Port remained flat. Coke production increased, but steel mill demand was under pressure due to reduced iron water output and low profitability. In December, there is still uncertainty in coking coal supply, and there is resistance to further decline in coke futures [6][38]. - On December 3rd, the coking coal main contract closed at 1,070.5 points, with an intraday decline of 2.19%. The spot price of Mongolian coal at Ganqimaodu Port decreased week - on - week. The supply side is the core factor affecting the market. Recent policies and stable production have weakened the supply - side support for coal prices, but considering the December Politburo economic meeting and year - end coal mine production reduction expectations, there is resistance to further decline in coking coal futures [7][39]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Industry News - The China Logistics and Purchasing Federation released that the China Logistics Prosperity Index in November was 50.9%, up 0.2 percentage points month - on - month. The central and western regions had higher business volume indices than the national average, and the fixed - asset investment completion index remained in a high - prosperity range [9]. - On December 3rd, the price of coking coal in Linfen Anze market dropped by 80 yuan/ton, with the ex - factory price of low - sulfur main coking coal being 1,500 yuan/ton [10]. 3.2 Spot Market - The table shows the price changes of coke and coking coal in different markets (Rizhao Port, Qingdao Port, Ganqimaodu Port, Jingtang Port, etc.) on a weekly, monthly, annual, and year - on - year basis. For example, the quasi - first - grade coke price at Rizhao Port decreased by 2.99% week - on - week, and the Mongolian coal price at Ganqimaodu Port decreased by 6.25% week - on - week [11]. 3.3 Futures Market - The table presents the trading information of coke and coking coal main contracts, including closing price, price change, highest price, lowest price, trading volume, volume difference, open interest, and open interest difference. The coke main contract had an intraday increase of 0.40%, while the coking coal main contract had an intraday decline of 2.19% [14]. 3.4 Related Charts - There are multiple charts showing the inventory of coke (230 independent coking plants, 247 steel mill coking plants, ports, etc.) and coking coal (mine mouth, ports, 247 sample steel mills, etc.), as well as other related production and market data such as steel mill production, Shanghai terminal wire and screw procurement, coal washing plant production, and coking plant operation [15][20][21]. 3.5后市研判 - The analysis of coke and coking coal is consistent with the core views, emphasizing the current market situation, price trends, supply - demand relationships, and future focus on coal mine production [38][39].

It is expected that the ore price will maintain a high - level oscillation, and attention should be paid to the performance of steel products [39].
产业矛盾未解,上行驱动难续
Bao Cheng Qi Huo· 2025-12-03 09:49
Group 1: Core View - Manganese silicon prices rebounded from a low level due to improved market sentiment, but the supply contraction at a high level is limited while the demand continues to weaken. The supply - demand pattern is difficult to improve, the industrial contradictions accumulate, and the fundamental weakness remains unchanged. The upward driving force of manganese silicon prices is not strong, and once the market logic returns to the industrial side, the prices will be under pressure again. A breakthrough requires the introduction of industrial clearance policies [5][58] Group 2: Market Sentiment and Price Movement - Since December, the futures and spot prices of manganese silicon have rebounded from a low level, especially the futures price. As of December 3, the futures price of the main manganese silicon contract reached a maximum of 5,786 yuan/ton, up nearly 200 yuan from the previous low. The spot price also increased, with a range of 20 - 90 yuan in the mainstream areas, and the basis weakened again [9] - The recent rapid rise in manganese silicon prices is a catch - up increase, mainly due to the low - level rebound of steel futures prices boosting the sentiment in the ferrous metal market. Since mid - November, the rebar futures price has been rising, and the 2601 contract has been relatively strong, with a cumulative increase of over 130 yuan from the low level [12] Group 3: Supply Situation - Manganese silicon production decreased in November 2025. The output was 848,800 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 66,900 tons or 7.31%, but still higher than the same period last year. Most regions saw a decline in production, with Yunnan having the largest reduction [17] - As of the week of November 28, the operating rate of 187 independent manganese silicon enterprises was 38.09%, and the daily output was 27,825 tons, down 4.90% and 1,850 tons respectively from the end of last month. Although the operating rate is significantly lower than last year, the output is similar to the same period last year [19] - The factory inventory of manganese silicon has been rising at a high level. As of the week of November 28, the total factory inventory was 368,000 tons, an increase of 53,500 tons from the end of last month, hitting a new high. All regions saw inventory accumulation, with the main production areas having the largest increase [27] - In 2025, the planned production projects of manganese silicon totaled more than 3.5 million tons. After removing the replacement capacity, the actual new capacity was as high as 6.665 million tons, and the oversupply pattern remained unchanged [33] Group 4: Demand Situation - Steel mill production weakened, and the demand for manganese silicon decreased. The blast furnace operating rate and capacity utilization rate of 247 steel mills were 81.09% and 87.98% respectively, down 0.66% and 0.63% from the end of last month. The output of the five major steel products decreased by 2.24%, and the demand for manganese silicon decreased by 2.22% [36] - The profitability of steel mills continued to deteriorate. As of the week of November 28, the proportion of profitable steel mills among 247 sample steel mills was 35.06%, a continuous decline since mid - August. The demand for raw materials such as manganese silicon was affected [37] - Steel mills' willingness to replenish inventory actively at the end of the year was not strong. The number of days of available manganese silicon inventory in November was 15.84 days, a month - on - month increase of 0.14 days. Most regions' inventory levels were higher than the same period last year [43] Group 5: Cost Situation - Due to the weak downward trend of manganese silicon prices, the losses of production enterprises increased. As of December 2, the production costs of manganese silicon in the northern and southern regions were 5,838 yuan/ton and 6,208 yuan/ton respectively. The losses per ton in the northern and southern regions were 312 yuan and 678 yuan respectively [46] - The cost support effect is weakening. Coke prices have increased, while port manganese ore prices have been stable. If production enterprises reduce production, the prices of related raw materials will be affected, and the cost will decline, which may drag down the manganese silicon price [49]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The report believes that the steel price of rebar 2605 will show a weak and fluctuating trend in the short - term, medium - term, and intraday periods, and the overall view is weak and fluctuating due to the game between expectations and reality [2]. - The rebar market is in a situation of weak supply and demand. The production of construction steel mills is weakening, but the profit of short - process steel mills is improving, so the sustainability of production reduction is questionable. The demand is weakly stable and will seasonally decline. The approaching major meeting brings optimistic expectations, but the fundamentals have not improved, so the steel price is expected to continue to fluctuate, and the demand performance should be focused on [3]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Variety View Reference - For rebar 2605, the short - term, medium - term, and intraday trends are respectively fluctuating, fluctuating, and weakly fluctuating, with an overall view of weak fluctuation. The core logic is the game between expectations and reality, causing the steel price to fluctuate [2]. Market Driving Logic - The supply and demand of rebar have both weakened. The production of construction steel mills is weakening, but the profit of short - process steel mills is improving, and the sustainability of production reduction is uncertain. The demand is weakly stable and at a low level in the same period in recent years, and will seasonally decline. The approaching major meeting brings optimistic expectations, but the fundamentals have not improved, so the steel price is expected to continue to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [3]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Short - term, the expectation of interest rate cuts has declined, while the long - term expectation of a loose monetary policy remains. Overall, treasury bond futures will mainly fluctuate and consolidate in the short term [1][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents 3.1 Variety Viewpoint Reference - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - For the TL2603 variety, the short - term view is "fluctuation", the medium - term view is "fluctuation", the intraday view is "weakening", and the reference view is "fluctuation and consolidation". The core logic is that the short - term expectation of interest rate cuts has declined, while the long - term loose expectation remains [1]. 3.2 Main Variety Price Market Driving Logic - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - Yesterday, treasury bond futures fluctuated and slightly retraced. The manufacturing PMI in November showed strong resilience, so there is no strong need for a full - scale interest rate cut in the short term, and the upward momentum of treasury bond futures is insufficient. However, in the long run, the problem of insufficient effective domestic demand still exists. From the perspective of the monetary policy to stabilize demand, the future monetary policy environment tends to be loose, which strongly supports treasury bond futures. In general, treasury bond futures will mainly fluctuate and consolidate in the short term [5].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For both coking coal and coke, the short - term and medium - term views are “oscillation”, and the intraday view is “oscillation on the strong side”. The overall reference view is an “oscillation mindset” [1][5][6]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Coking Coal (JM) - **Price Trend and View**: The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views are “oscillation”, “oscillation”, and “oscillation on the strong side” respectively, with an overall “oscillation mindset” [1][5]. - **Driving Logic**: The supply side is the core factor driving the market. The National Development and Reform Commission's emphasis on energy supply during the heating season and stable domestic production and increased imports have weakened the supply - side support for coal prices. However, due to the December Politburo economic meeting and the expected year - end coal mine production cuts, there is resistance to further price drops, and the main contract has rebounded at the lower edge of the previous oscillation range [5]. Coke (J) - **Price Trend and View**: The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views are “oscillation”, “oscillation”, and “oscillation on the strong side” respectively, with an overall “oscillation mindset” [1][6]. - **Driving Logic**: On December 1st, the first round of price cuts for coke was implemented. The supply is increasing, with the daily coke output increasing by 1.19 million tons to 110.08 million tons. The demand is under pressure, as the daily hot metal output of 247 steel mills decreased by 1.6 million tons to 234.68 million tons, and the steel mill profitability rate dropped to 35.06%. Due to the uncertainty in coking coal supply in December, there is resistance to further price drops for coke futures, and the main contract has rebounded at the lower edge of the oscillation range [6].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Report's Core View - The domestic crude oil futures are expected to run in a moderately bullish pattern on Wednesday. The market is influenced by a combination of factors, with the weakening of geopolitical premiums due to the potential cooling - off of the Russia - Ukraine conflict and the improvement of demand expectations as the northern hemisphere enters the winter consumption peak season [1][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1. Time - cycle Views on Crude Oil 2601 - Short - term: The short - term view (within one week) is that the crude oil 2601 will be in a sideways pattern [1]. - Medium - term: The medium - term view (two weeks to one month) is that the crude oil 2601 will be in a sideways pattern [1]. - Intraday: The intraday view is that the crude oil 2601 will be moderately bullish [1]. 3.2. Price Movement Calculation Rules - For varieties with night trading sessions, the starting price is the night - trading closing price; for those without, it's the previous day's closing price. The ending price is the day - trading closing price, and the price change is calculated based on these [2]. 3.3. Strength Classification Rules - A decline of more than 1% is considered weak, a decline between 0 - 1% is considered moderately weak, a rise between 0 - 1% is considered moderately strong, and a rise of more than 1% is considered strong. The moderately strong/moderately weak classification only applies to intraday views [3][4]. 3.4. Driving Logic of Crude Oil (SC) Price Movement - The potential cooling - off of the Russia - Ukraine conflict with US mediation is weakening the geopolitical premium for international oil prices, thus reducing the impetus for further price rebounds. However, the approaching winter consumption peak season in the northern hemisphere is improving the demand outlook, and the future supply - demand structure of the oil market is expected to improve. On Tuesday night, domestic crude oil futures showed a slightly bearish sideways movement with a slight decline, but are expected to continue the moderately bullish trend on Wednesday [5].
