Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The report's view on the industry is that it is operating at a low level [3] Group 2: Core View of the Report - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued the "Steel Industry Steady Growth Work Plan (2025 - 2026)", setting the average annual growth target of the steel industry's added value at about 4% in the next two years, aiming at "steady growth and preventing involution" and guiding the structural adjustment and high - quality development of the Chinese steel industry [2] - On September 22, the average cost of 76 independent electric arc furnace construction steel mills was 3,337 yuan/ton, with an average profit loss of 123 yuan/ton and a valley - electricity profit loss of 25 yuan/ton [2] - From September 15 to 21, 2025, global shipyards received 35 + 2 new ship orders, with Chinese shipyards getting 16 + 2 and South Korean shipyards getting 11 [2] - Benefiting from the "Steel Industry Steady Growth Work Plan" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, finished products fluctuated strongly. The market has returned to the fundamentals of varieties. Last week, rebar and hot - rolled coil showed differentiation. Rebar production and inventory decreased slightly while apparent demand increased; hot - rolled coil production and inventory increased slightly while performance decreased, resulting in rebar being stronger than hot - rolled coil in price trends. Currently, the weak downstream situation has not improved, and prices are consolidating at low levels [2] Group 3: Later Focus - Later, attention should be paid to macro - policies and downstream demand [3]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - **成材**: Short - term outlook is oscillating with a slight upward bias, but the upside is limited. The trading logic is mainly based on industry fundamentals, with the price of finished steel showing signs of recovery, yet the weak downstream demand may constrain the price rebound [9]. - **煤焦**: In the short - term, there is an increase in both supply and demand. The downstream is actively replenishing inventory before the National Day holiday, which supports the confidence in price support. The futures market is expected to maintain a wide - range oscillation [10]. - **铁合金**: Silicon manganese and ferrosilicon continue to face a situation of strong supply and weak demand, with pressure on inventory. However, the short - term restocking demand before the National Day holiday may support prices. It is expected that prices will be in a weak consolidation state [11]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the content Core Views - The price of finished products is expected to move in a volatile and consolidating manner, with the price center of gravity moving downward and weak operation. The price of aluminum ingots is expected to adjust at a high level in the short term, with the macro "boot" landing and the inventory still slightly accumulating [1][3][4] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Finished Products - In the context of weak supply and demand and pessimistic market sentiment, the price of finished products continued to decline yesterday, reaching a new low. This year's winter storage is sluggish, providing little support for prices. The view is that it will move in a volatile and consolidating manner. Key factors to watch include macro policies and downstream demand [3] - During the Spring Festival, short - process construction steel enterprises in the Yunnan - Guizhou region will have a production halt from mid - January, and the resumption time is expected to be between the 11th and 16th day of the first lunar month, affecting a total of 741,000 tons of building steel production. In Anhui, 6 short - process steel mills have or will stop production, with a daily output impact of about 16,200 tons during the halt [2] Real Estate - From December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the total transaction (signing) area of newly - built commercial housing in 10 key cities was 2.234 million square meters, a 40.3% decrease from the previous week and a 43.2% increase year - on - year [3] Aluminum and Alumina - The price of aluminum ingots was consolidating at a high level yesterday. The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected on Wednesday, but analysts have different interpretations of the Fed's signals. The Fed's dot - plot points to a steady easing pace [2] - The alumina market remains in an oversupply situation. The domestic alumina operating capacity is at a high level, the import window is open, and the inventory is high. As of Thursday, the national metallurgical - grade alumina's total built - in capacity is 110.32 million tons/year, the operating total capacity is 92.33 million tons/year, and the weekly national alumina operating rate increased by 0.92 percentage points to 83.69% [3] - The raw material inventory of electrolytic aluminum plants is high, and the spot procurement is inactive. The demand side shows signs of recovery, with the overall starting rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises increasing by 0.4 percentage points to 62.1% last week. On September 18, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in the domestic mainstream consumption areas was 638,000 tons, an increase of 1,000 tons from Monday and 13,000 tons from last Thursday.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core View of the Report - The coking coal and coke futures prices fluctuated yesterday. The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp, and the dot - plot indicates two more cuts this year. Due to the poor air quality in Tangshan, coking enterprises are required to extend the coking time by 30% from September 15th to 30th, but the specific production - limit plan is not clear. The supply and demand sides of coking coal and coke are recovering rapidly, especially the rapid rebound of hot metal, which supports the rigid demand for raw materials. However, affected by the recent environmental production - limit policy in Tangshan, the upward movement of the market is weak, and it will run in a short - term shock. [2][3] Group 3: Summary by Related Content 1. Market Information - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp, and the dot - plot shows two more cuts this year due to concerns about the US labor market. Tangshan requires enterprises to prepare for hard emission - reduction measures from September 15th to 30th, and coking enterprises should extend the coking time by 30%. The production - limit is mostly voluntary, and the specific plan is unclear. [2] 2. Supply Side - This week, coal mines in Shanxi continued to resume production, and the output continued to rise. Although the document on over - production inspection in Inner Mongolia has raised concerns about coal mine production cuts, there is still a small increase in production in the short term. [3] 3. Demand Side - The resumption of production in steel mills is fast, and the daily average hot metal output last week quickly rebounded to over 2.4 million tons. The current profitability rate of steel mills is 60.17%, a decrease of 0.87 percentage points compared with last week and an increase of 54.11 percentage points compared with last year. The finished products are in the process of continuous inventory accumulation, and the profit of steel mills has narrowed, which may limit the growth space of hot metal and test the raw material demand in the later stage. [3] 4. Market Outlook - The resumption of production on both the supply and demand sides of coking coal and coke is fast, especially the rapid rebound of hot metal, which supports the rigid demand for raw materials. However, affected by the environmental production - limit policy in Tangshan, the upward movement of the market is weak, and it will run in a short - term shock. [3] 5. Later Concerns - Pay attention to the changes in the blast furnace start - up of steel mills and the resumption of production in coal mines. [3]

Group 1: Investment Rating - The industry investment rating implies that the steel price is in a low - level operation state [2] Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The steel price is at the bottom and will operate at a low level. Attention should be paid to macro - policies, supply - side production reduction, and downstream demand [1][2] Group 3: Summary of Related Information 1. Fed's Interest Rate Policy - The Fed cut the federal funds rate target range to 4.00% - 4.25% by 25 basis points at the Wednesday's meeting, the first rate cut this year and restarting after 9 months. The latest dot - plot predicts two more 25 - basis - point rate cuts this year, one more than the June forecast [1] 2. Steel Production Data - In August, the daily output of crude steel of key steel enterprises was 2.1196 million tons, a 1.5% month - on - month decrease. From January to August, key steel enterprises produced 555 million tons of crude steel, a 0.9% year - on - year decrease. In August, China's rebar output was 1.5412 million tons, a 23.6% year - on - year increase; from January to August, the cumulative output was 12.8678 million tons, a 0.3% year - on - year increase [1] 3. Steel Market Performance - Yesterday, rebar first declined and then rose, closing with a doji; hot - rolled coil closed slightly lower. Last week, many steel mills resumed production, and the daily average hot - metal output rebounded rapidly, but downstream demand was relatively average with little change, putting pressure on the market. Recently, the rebound of raw materials has supported steel prices from the cost side [1]
