Report Summary 1. Investment Ratings - Steel: No specific rating provided, strategy is to expect a sideways movement [2] - Iron Ore: No specific rating provided, strategy is to expect a sideways movement [4] - Coking Coal and Coke: No specific rating provided, strategy is to expect a sideways - to - bullish movement [7] - Thermal Coal: No specific rating provided, short - term price is expected to move sideways to bullishly [8] 2. Core Views - **Steel**: Inventory is increasing, and the impact of steel mill production restrictions in Tangshan is currently controllable. The fundamentals may improve marginally, but self - initiated production cuts are difficult due to good profits. The raw material prices are firm, and the steel futures are supported. Future focus is on production restrictions and terminal demand [1]. - **Iron Ore**: The market has revised its expectations, and the price is stable with a slight upward trend. The shipping volume is in line with the seasonal pattern, and the supply is well - supported. The demand is strong, but short - term production in Tangshan is affected by the parade. In the long run, the supply - demand situation is relatively loose [3]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: There are concerns about Mongolian coal transportation, and the futures prices are strongly bullish. The supply of coking coal is insufficient, and the demand for coke is supported by good steel enterprise profits. Attention should be paid to the sixth round of price increase for coke [5][6]. - **Thermal Coal**: The demand is good, and the pit - mouth coal price is firm. The supply in the production areas is gradually recovering, and the price is expected to move sideways to bullishly in the short term. Medium - to - long - term focus is on non - power coal consumption and restocking [8]. 3. Summary by Industry Steel - **Market Analysis**: Futures prices fluctuated upward. Tangshan issued production restriction notices, with a currently controllable impact. Building materials are in the off - season with increasing inventory, while plates' sentiment has marginally improved due to production restrictions [1]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Building materials' production and sales are in the off - season, and inventory is rising slightly. Plates are affected by Tangshan's production restrictions. Steel mill production restrictions before the parade may improve the fundamentals, but self - initiated cuts are difficult due to good profits. The raw material prices are firm, and the fundamentals have few contradictions [1]. - **Strategy**: The recommended strategy is a sideways movement for single - side trading, and no operations are recommended for cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [2]. Iron Ore - **Market Analysis**: Futures prices fluctuated upward, and spot prices rose slightly. The shipping volume decreased slightly this period, with a decline in Australia and non - mainstream shipments and an increase in Brazilian shipments. Spot market transactions were few [3]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Shipping is in line with the seasonal pattern, and supply is well - supported. The iron - making water output is high, and steel mill production enthusiasm is strong. The short - term impact of the parade on Tangshan's rolling mills has not affected blast furnaces. In the long run, the supply - demand is relatively loose [3]. - **Strategy**: The recommended strategy is a sideways movement for single - side trading, and no operations are recommended for cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [4]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Market Analysis**: Futures prices were bullish. The customs clearance volume of imported coal is high, but the restrictions on Mongolian coal transportation may affect short - term supply [5]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: For coking coal, mine production cuts and rainy seasons have led to low output and insufficient supply. For coke, the new round of price increase needs time to materialize, and the supply pressure has eased, but the output is still lower than last year. The demand is supported by good steel enterprise profits [6]. - **Strategy**: The recommended strategy is a sideways - to - bullish movement for single - side trading of both coking coal and coke, and no operations are recommended for cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [7]. Thermal Coal - **Market Analysis**: In the production areas, the price is strong. Some open - pit mines have not resumed production, and the demand for restocking is high. At ports, the inventory is decreasing, and the shipping is at a loss. The import cost has increased, and the trading activity is low [8]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The supply in the production areas is gradually recovering, and the demand is good due to high temperatures. The price is expected to move sideways to bullishly in the short term, and medium - to - long - term focus is on non - power coal consumption and restocking [8].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Glass: Neutral [3] - Soda Ash: Slightly Bearish [3] - Silicomanganese: Bearish [5] - Ferrosilicon: Bearish [5] 2) Core Viewpoints - Supply news has caused fluctuations in the black market, with glass and soda ash showing inventory accumulation and double silicon having high production willingness [1][4] - In the long - term, glass supply and demand remain relatively loose, and soda ash may face increasing inventory pressure [1][2] - Silicon manganese and ferrosilicon have high supply and demand levels, but their prices are affected by multiple factors [4] 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Glass - Market Analysis: Yesterday, the glass futures market had narrow - range fluctuations. The opening rate of float glass enterprises was 75.34%, a 0.34% increase from the previous period, and the manufacturer inventory was 61.847 million heavy boxes, a 2.348 million heavy - box increase [1] - Supply and Demand Logic: There is no policy - based contraction in glass supply, and real - estate has dragged down the rigid demand. Speculative demand has increased, and the factory inventory has slightly accumulated, being at a high level. In the long - term, supply and demand are loose [1] - Strategy: Expect a sideways movement [3] Soda Ash - Market Analysis: Yesterday, the soda ash futures market trended weakly. The capacity utilization rate was 85.42%, a 5.15% increase from the previous period, production was 744,700 tons, a 44,900 - ton increase, and inventory was 1.8651 million tons, a 69,300 - ton increase [1] - Supply and Demand Logic: Soda ash production is at a high level. During the summer maintenance period, capacity release is relatively restricted, but it may further increase in the future. The photovoltaic industry has a production - cut expectation, so soda ash consumption may weaken, and inventory pressure will rise [1][2] - Strategy: Expect a weakly sideways movement [3] Silicomanganese - Market Analysis: Yesterday, the silicomanganese futures market trended weakly. The downstream procurement was normal, with limited price - pressing. The northern market price was 5,800 - 5,900 yuan/ton, and the southern market price was around 5,850 - 5,950 yuan/ton [4] - Supply and Demand Logic: Recently, the enthusiasm for silicomanganese production has been high, with both supply and demand at high levels. The manufacturer inventory has decreased significantly compared to the previous period and is at a medium level in recent years. The Australian manganese ore shipment has basically recovered, and after the price increase due to macro - sentiment, enterprises' hedging willingness has increased [4] - Strategy: Bearish [5] Ferrosilicon - Market Analysis: Yesterday, the increase in ferrosilicon futures declined. The market sentiment worsened, but the spot price remained stable. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon natural lumps in the main production areas was 5,400 - 5,500 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 5,800 - 5,900 yuan/ton [4] - Supply and Demand Logic: Ferrosilicon production is gradually recovering, and the apparent demand is decreasing. Enterprises have made profits, and demand remains resilient. The factory inventory is at a medium - high level. In the long - term, ferrosilicon capacity is relatively loose [4] - Strategy: Bearish [5]
