Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoint of the Report - The coke supply is continuously increasing and it is in the seasonal inventory accumulation stage. The demand side has low iron - water production and poor steel - mill profits, resulting in overall weak supply and demand for coke. However, the winter - storage restocking demand of coking plants and steel mills is gradually emerging, and the macro - environment has generally improved. Therefore, it is expected that coke will run in a short - term volatile manner [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - As of December 26, the coke inventory of independent coking enterprises increased slightly by 1.25% to 92.24 tons, the coke inventory of steel mills increased by 1.34% to 642.2 tons, and the port coke inventory also increased by nearly 2%. The comprehensive coke inventory increased by 14.36 tons week - on - week to 978.64 tons, reaching a 12 - week high with a year - on - year increase of 4.7% [1] - The average profit of 30 independent coking plants nationwide is - 18 yuan/ton. The average profit of quasi - first - grade coke in Shanxi is - 3 yuan/ton, in Shandong is 27 yuan/ton, in Inner Mongolia's second - grade coke is - 64 yuan/ton, and in Hebei's quasi - first - grade coke is 35 yuan/ton [1] - The terminal demand for steel is weak, mainly for rigid - demand restocking. The profitability rate of 247 steel mills increased by 1.3 percentage points to 37.23%. The daily average pig - iron output increased by 0.03 tons week - on - week to 226.58 tons, ending the previous five - week consecutive decline, and is 1.29 tons less than the same period last year [1] Upstream Coking Coal - Steel and coking enterprises are cautious in purchasing. The inventory of independent coking enterprises increased slightly by 3.43 tons to 1039.72 tons, the coking coal inventory of steel mills increased slightly by 1.73 tons to 806.72 tons, and the coking coal inventory of coal mines increased by 10.1 tons. At the same time, the port's imported coking coal inventory increased by 23.09 tons. The comprehensive coking coal inventory increased by 1.47% to 2647.24 tons, reaching a nearly 7 - month high, with a year - on - year decline of nearly 14% [2] - The National Development and Reform Commission will continue to regulate crude steel production, prohibit illegal new capacity additions, and promote survival of the fittest. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will intensively regulate "involution - style" competition and firmly curb low - price and low - quality competition [2] Futures and Spot Market Conditions - On the futures trading floor, the 05 - contract coke opened at 1735, dropped to a minimum of 1677.5, and closed at 1720, adding 781 lots. The price first decreased and then increased during the day, and it is in a volatile trend on the daily - line level. Attention should be paid to the support at the intraday low and the pressure of the 40 - day moving average [3] - In the spot market, the port spot market is stable. The ex - warehouse price of quasi - first - grade metallurgical coke at Rizhao Port is 1460. The trading atmosphere in the spot market is average, and the inventory at the two ports has slightly increased compared with the previous trading day [4]

Group 1: Report's Overall Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views - The cotton market is currently stable and favorable, but there is a risk of a short - term correction due to the exhaustion of upward momentum, and it is recommended to wait for the price to pull back before entering the market [1] - For sugar, although there is a lack of short - term drivers, it is still a good choice to gradually buy at low prices in the future considering the undervalued far - month contracts [2] Group 3: Summary by Commodity Cotton - As of December 25, 2025, the weekly inventory of imported cotton at major ports increased by 0.84% to 39.52 million tons. Among them, the inventory at ports and surrounding warehouses in Shandong decreased by 19.94% year - on - year to 33.2 million tons, and that in Jiangsu was about 3.40 million tons, with other ports having about 2.92 million tons. This week, mainly Brazilian and Australian cotton arrived at ports, with more inflows than outflows [1] - The adjustment of the planting area structure in the far - month has led to a certain rebound in the futures market. The export demand for the near - month has improved, and the stage of maximum supply pressure has passed. However, the widening gap between domestic and foreign cotton prices and the continuous rebound of domestic prices may lead to the exhaustion of short - term upward momentum [1] Sugar - As of December 24, 2025, for the 2025/26 sugar - making season in Thailand, the cumulative sugar - cane crushing volume was 11.5321 billion tons, a decrease of 1.9633 billion tons (14.54%) compared with the same period last year. The sugar content of sugar - cane was 11.40%, a decrease of 0.08% compared with last year. The sugar - making rate increased by 0.027% to 8.676%. The sugar output was 1.0005 billion tons, a decrease of 0.1667 billion tons (14.28%) compared with the same period last year [2] - With the foreign market closed and no reference for the domestic market, there is an obvious differentiation between the near - month and far - month contracts in the domestic market. The near - month contract has fallen sharply, while the far - month contract is in the process of a volatile rebound, and the 01 - 05 spread has significantly narrowed [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report The current market is in a volatile situation with supply support and weak demand in the off - season. Supply is at a relatively low level but has started to rebound in the past two weeks, and there is an expectation of steel mill复产 in January. Demand decline shows off - season characteristics. Observe whether the winter storage market can start in January. Inventory destocking has slowed down, but the overall inventory level is acceptable. The macro - expectation is loose, but real - estate regulation restricts demand space. The recent market has shown continuous volatility after a low - level rebound, indicating that the current supply - demand contradiction is not prominent. It is expected to continue the volatile and weak consolidation [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market行情回顾 - Futures price: The trading volume of the rebar main contract on Thursday was 1,132,633 lots, a significant increase from the previous trading day. The position decreased by 47,415 lots. It fluctuated within the day, with a minimum of 3090 yuan/ton, a maximum of 3132 yuan/ton, and closed at 3118 yuan/ton, down 13 yuan/ton or 0.42% [1]. - Spot price: The spot price of HRB400E 20mm rebar in the mainstream area was 3290 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan from the previous trading day [1]. - Basis: The futures were at a discount of 172 yuan/ton to the spot, which supported the futures price to some extent [1]. Fundamental Data Supply - demand situation - Supply side: As of the week of December 25, rebar production increased by 2.71 million tons week - on - week to 1.8439 million tons, rising for two consecutive weeks, and was 319,100 tons lower year - on - year. The blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills was 78.32%, a decrease of 0.15 percentage points week - on - week and 0.39% lower year - on - year. The steel mill profitability rate was 37.23%, unchanged from last week. The daily average pig iron output increased by 0.03 million tons week - on - week to 2.2658 million tons, 129,000 tons lower year - on - year. There is an expectation of steel mill复产, which will weaken price support [2]. - Demand side: Terminal demand was weak, with the average daily trading volume of building materials in the country remaining at 90,000 - 100,000 tons, at a low level in the same period of the past five years. As of the week of December 25, the apparent consumption decreased by 59,600 tons week - on - week to 2.0268 million tons, 169,000 tons lower year - on - year. Demand showed regional differences, with construction in the north stagnant due to cold weather and the south having some demand resilience due to rush construction of existing projects. Pay attention to whether winter storage can drive demand in January [2]. Inventory - As of the week of December 25, the total inventory decreased by 182,900 tons week - on - week to 4.3425 million tons, declining for 8 consecutive weeks but still 345,100 tons higher year - on - year. The social inventory was 2.9419 million tons, a decrease of 188,100 tons week - on - week, and the destocking slowed down. The steel mill inventory was 1.4006 million tons, a slight increase of 5,200 tons. The overall inventory pressure was controllable [3]. Macro - aspect - The central economic conference proposed to use various policy tools such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts flexibly and efficiently, keep liquidity abundant, and smooth the monetary policy transmission mechanism. It aims to stabilize the real - estate market, control new construction, destock, and optimize supply. The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December as expected. The 14th Five - Year Plan provides a transformation path for the steel industry, and macro - increment demand is relatively limited, but the loose cycle provides support [3]. Cost - aspect - The futures of iron ore and coking coal and coke stabilized, enhancing cost support [4]. Driving Factor Analysis - Bullish factors: Low supply, continuous inventory destocking, loose policy expectations, large futures discount providing bottom support, strong iron ore, and stable coking coal and coke enhancing cost support [5]. - Bearish factors: Unexpected steel mill复产 in January, seasonal weakening of terminal demand, more construction site closures in the north, cautious winter storage willingness of traders, and weak real - estate data [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoint of the Report - After the disturbance of macro events gradually fades, the trading logic of iron ore will gradually return to fundamentals. With a decline in shipments, slow demand recovery, and a slight improvement in the transfer of port inventory to downstream, along with the futures discount under the back structure and positive basis of futures contracts, the futures and spot markets will form a certain resonance in the short - term, and the market will gradually strengthen in a volatile manner [5] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market行情态势回顾 - Futures price: The main contract of iron ore futures fluctuated strongly during the day, closing at 783 yuan/ton, up 4.5 yuan/ton from the previous trading day's closing price with a gain of +0.58%. The trading volume was 291,000 lots, and the open interest increased by 13,000 lots to 581,000 lots, with the settled funds exceeding 10 billion yuan. The disk price strengthened again in the short - term [1] - Spot price: Among the mainstream port spot varieties, Qingdao Port PB powder dropped 2 to 791, and Super Special powder dropped 2 to 671. The main swap contract was 104.35 (+0.5) US dollars/ton. Spot prices declined slightly, and swap prices maintained a volatile and slightly stronger trend [1] - Basis and spread: The price of Qingdao Port PB powder converted to the futures price was 816.1 yuan/ton, with a basis of 33.1 yuan/ton, and the basis narrowed slightly. The spread between iron ore contracts 1 - 5 was 18.5 yuan, and the spread between 5 - 9 was 22 yuan. Iron ore futures contracts showed a back structure and positive basis, indicating strong support for futures [1] Fundamental Analysis - Supply side: Overseas mine shipments decreased month - on - month, with shipments from Australia and Brazil weakening, especially a significant decline in Brazil. Shipments from non - mainstream countries increased month - on - month, and the arrivals this period decreased month - on - month [2] - Demand side: Hot metal production remained basically stable, with both blast furnace restart and maintenance. As raw material prices weakened, the profitability rate of steel mills increased slightly, but the release of restocking demand was still slow [2] - Inventory side: Port inventory increased significantly, with more unloading and warehousing at ports, and the congestion situation improved month - on - month. Steel mill inventory increased to some extent but was still significantly lower than the historical average, and the release of restocking demand was still slow [2] Macro - level Analysis - Overseas: Recently, the combination of "low inflation + weak reality + change of Federal Reserve chairman" in the US is conducive to the Fed's easing. The quality of economic data in January is expected to return to normal levels, providing more guidance for the market. The overseas macro - environment will continue to warm up in 2026. The "loose fiscal + loose monetary" policy in the US is conducive to promoting economic prosperity. In December, the European Central Bank announced to keep interest rates unchanged and raised the GDP forecasts for this year and next. Japan's interest rate hike was implemented as expected, not a radical tightening, and it raised the GDP growth forecast for 2025 and maintained the forecast for 2026 [3][4] - Domestic: On December 23, the National Conference on Housing and Urban - Rural Development was held in Beijing. The meeting arranged for 2026 to carry out urban renewal, stabilize the real estate market, and accelerate the quality improvement and upgrading of the construction industry. The renovation of underground pipe networks is still a highlight, and gas pipelines, drainage and flood prevention projects, etc. are all planned, with a small increase in expected capital investment next year. In addition, the year - on - year growth of social retail sales in November was 1.3%, lower than expected and the previous value, with the continued weakening of commodity retail being the main drag factor, while service consumption continued to improve. In terms of investment, manufacturing, infrastructure, and real estate investment all continued to weaken, while exports performed well and remained an important support [4]
