Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - Today, all stock indices fluctuated widely and recovered after hitting the bottom during the day. The total trading volume of the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing stock markets was 2518.6 billion yuan, an increase of 376 billion yuan from the previous day. There are certain differences in market sentiment currently. It is necessary to focus on the game between the profit - taking rhythm of funds and the fermentation of policy expectations. On one hand, as the valuation has risen significantly, there is still a demand for profit - taking by profitable funds; on the other hand, the expectation of policy benefits and the inflow trend of funds in the capital market constitute the medium - and long - term driving force for the upward movement of stock indices. The fermentation of policy benefit expectations awaits the convening of the important meeting in October. The increase in incremental funds can be seen from the fact that the margin trading balance has exceeded 2.4 trillion yuan and the year - on - year increase in new non - bank deposits in July and August was significant. In general, stock indices are expected to fluctuate widely in the short term. Currently, the implied volatility of options has increased.

Report Information - Report Title: Steel & Iron Ore | Daily Report [3] - Report Date: September 23, 2025 [3] Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report. Core Views - **Rebar**: The main contract price oscillated downward with a daily decline of 1.00%, volume decreased while open interest increased. In the current situation of weak supply and increasing demand, the fundamentals of rebar have improved, but the downstream has not improved, and demand concerns remain. The improvement is not strong. The relatively positive factors are cost increase and policy expectations. With the game of multiple and short factors, it is expected that the steel price will maintain an oscillating trend. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The main contract price declined weakly with a daily decline of 1.33%, volume increased while open interest decreased. Currently, the demand resilience of hot - rolled coils is weakening, while the supply remains at a high level. The supply - demand pattern has weakened, inventory has increased again, and the coil price continues to be under pressure. The relatively positive factor is cost increase. It is expected that the subsequent trend will be oscillating and weakening. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - **Iron ore**: The main contract price declined from a high level with a daily decline of 1.23%, both volume and open interest decreased. Currently, the demand for iron ore is performing well, supporting the high - level operation of ore prices, but the demand positive factors are weakening, supply pressure is increasing, the fundamental expectation is weakening, and the valuation is relatively high. The pre - holiday trend is cautiously optimistic, and beware of the intensification of industrial contradictions [4].

The weekly output decreased by 5.48 tons, and the demand increased by 11.96 tons. However, the inventory is higher than in previous years, and the demand is still at a low level in the same period in recent years. It is expected that the steel price will oscillate, and attention should be paid to the demand [37] - **Hot - rolled coil**: The supply - demand pattern has changed. The weekly output increased by 1.35 tons, and the demand decreased by 4.34 tons. The demand resilience is weakening, the supply is at a high level, and the inventory has increased.
