Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - With a bullish fundamental outlook and the re - mention of "anti - involution" remarks in the domestic macro - environment, the coking coal market is boosted. It is recommended to buy on dips. After the Fed's interest - rate cut event, the market focus returns to the supply - demand situation. Attention should be paid to the downstream replenishment intensity before the National Day and the capital - side fluctuations caused by margin increases, which may cause short - term interference to the upward slope of coking coal prices. Coke's upward driving force is limited, and its short - term price trend will follow coking coal [5][30]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Report Summary (PART 01) - As of September 16, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.39%, a week - on - week increase of 0.15 percentage points. Non - housing project capital improved, while housing project capital deteriorated [5]. - The central environmental protection inspection team provided feedback to the Shanxi provincial government on September 12, requiring strict implementation of coal production control and air pollution governance [5]. - President Xi Jinping's article in the 18th issue of Qiushi magazine on September 16 mentioned measures to address low - price competition and promote the exit of backward production capacity [5]. - Coking coal supply increased slightly, and the upstream inventory depletion rate slowed down. Independent coking enterprises replenished coking coal inventory, while steel mills mainly made rigid - demand purchases. Coke production was stable, iron - water production remained high, and the second round of coke price cuts was implemented, turning the average profit per ton of coke from positive to negative [5]. Multi - Empty Focus (PART 02) - Bullish factors: Reduced coking coal inventory pressure, high iron - water production supporting coke demand, downstream replenishment before the National Day, and limited production increase due to "anti - involution" remarks [8]. - Bearish factors: Increased Mongolian coal imports and low replenishment enthusiasm of steel mills [8]. Data Analysis (PART 03) - Coking coal supply: The operating rates of 314 sample coal - washing plants and 523 sample mines increased, and the Mongolian coal customs clearance volume remained high [11]. - Coking coal upstream inventory: The inventory depletion rate slowed down. Mines' inventory decreased, while coal - washing plants' and ports' inventory increased [12]. - Independent coking enterprises: They replenished coking coal inventory and reduced their own coke inventory [15]. - Steel mills: They mainly made rigid - demand purchases, with coking coal inventory decreasing and coke inventory increasing [19]. - Coke production: The overall coke production remained stable [21]. - Iron - water production: It remained at a high level, supporting coke consumption [23]. - Coke profit: After the second round of price cuts, the average profit per ton of coke for independent coking enterprises turned negative, and the profit rate of steel enterprises continued to decline [25]. - Double - coking far - month basis structure: The spot and futures prices of coking coal and coke fluctuated strongly [27]. 后市研判 (PART 04) - Coking coal: Although mines resumed production after the parade, production increase was limited due to policies. With demand support and reduced inventory pressure, and the boost from "anti - involution" remarks, it is recommended to buy on dips [30]. - Coke: After the second - round price cuts, the profit of independent coking enterprises turned negative. The upward driving force is limited, and it will follow coking coal in the short term [33].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - This week, the fundamentals of asphalt showed signs of marginal improvement. The supply side saw flat week - on - week production and开工率, while the demand side had increased shipments and decreased factory and social inventories. However, as the peak - season demand nears its end, the fundamental improvement may not be sustainable, and the support for the futures market is weak. Crude oil has mixed influencing factors, with supply - surplus expectations suppressing prices and geopolitical factors providing intermittent support. In the short term, asphalt will show a wide - range oscillating trend under the combined influence of fundamentals and cost, and the crude oil fluctuations will dominate the market. It is recommended to track geopolitical developments and focus on the BU2511 contract in the range of 3350 - 3500 yuan/ton [7][65] Summary by Directory Report Summary - Market focuses include the Fed's 25 - BP interest rate cut, the basic framework consensus on resolving the TikTok issue between China and the US, and the suspension of Russia - Ukraine negotiations [6] - Key data: As of September 17, the domestic asphalt sample enterprise开工率 was 34.4%, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous period.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The dual - coking futures prices maintained a sideways consolidation with a narrowing amplitude this week. Overseas economic data is weak, and the finished product market performs poorly. The inventory pressure of coking coal upstream has been significantly reduced. After the parade, the supply and demand sides of dual - coking are slowly recovering, and the increase in hot metal production supports the demand for dual - coking, weakening the downward price drive. The firmness of raw material prices erodes steel mill profits, and steel mills' willingness to lower coke prices is increasing. In the short term, the dual - coking fundamentals have no obvious contradictions, and the futures prices will mainly fluctuate. Attention should be paid to the demand of finished products during the "Golden September and Silver October" and the downstream replenishment rhythm before the National Day [6][35]. Summary by Directory Report Summary - As of September 9, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.24%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.16 percentage points.

Steel mills' willingness to cut prices increased, and the second - round price cut was planned to be implemented on September 15 [30]. - Dual - coking far - month basis structure: The spot and futures prices of dual - coking fluctuated at high levels [32]. 后市研判 - From a macro perspective, overseas economic data is weak, and the finished product market performs poorly. The inventory pressure of coking coal upstream has been reduced, and after the parade, the supply and demand of the black series are recovering. In the short term, the dual - coking market will mainly fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the downstream replenishment rhythm before the National Day [35]. - The steel spot market performs poorly, and the firmness of raw material prices erodes steel mill profits. Steel mills' willingness to lower coke prices is increasing. Coke prices are supported by coking coal costs at the bottom and restricted by steel mill profits at the top, and will fluctuate within a range [38].

Industries like general equipment and railway, ship, and aerospace equipment had production and operation activity expectation indices above 58%. The US job openings in July dropped from 7.36 million in June to 1.181 million, a 10 - month low, far below the expected 7.382 million. The US ADP employment in August increased by only 54,000, well below the expected 65,000. The eurozone's manufacturing PMI in August rose from 49.8 in July to 50.7, a three - year high, and the composite PMI reached a 12 - month high [5]. Main Views - Steel prices continued to decline this week due to weaker coking coal price support and continuous steel inventory accumulation. Despite the rising expectation of Fed rate cuts overseas, domestic steel was in the off - season with increasing inventory, leading to a weak performance of ferrous metals. Affected by previous production restrictions, steel mill output and demand decreased, with accelerated inventory accumulation of rebar and increased hot - rolled coil inventory. After the steel mills resumed production on September 4, supply - demand pressure might intensify. However, cost support from the improved supply - demand structure of the cost side would limit the decline. With the release of the growth - stabilizing plan for the electronic information manufacturing industry on Friday, market expectations improved. Steel prices were expected to follow coking coal, with short - term fluctuations to find bottom support and wait for signals of improved peak - season demand. Iron ore was relatively strong in ferrous metals supported by the expectation of steel mill复产. Although iron ore prices dropped at the beginning of the week due to the decline in coking coal prices, the expectation of steel mill复产 and inventory replenishment was strong. Despite a significant drop in hot metal production this period, steel mills were expected to be motivated to produce with high profits. However, with weakening downstream steel demand, increasing inventory, and rising iron ore shipments, continuous upward movement of iron ore prices was under pressure, and it was expected to fluctuate at a high level in the short term [5]. Bull - Bear Focus Bull - Bear Factors for Rebar - Bull factors: improved manufacturing sentiment in August, rising expectation of Fed rate cuts, and the introduction of growth - stabilizing plans for ten industries. Bear factors: expected increase in production after steel mill复产, a significant drop in steel demand, and accelerated inventory accumulation of rebar and increased hot - rolled coil inventory [8]. Bull - Bear Factors for Iron Ore - Bull factors: improved manufacturing sentiment in August, rising expectation of Fed rate cuts, the introduction of growth - stabilizing plans for ten industries, and the expectation of inventory replenishment driven by steel mill复产. Bear factors: a significant drop in hot metal production, seasonal decline in downstream steel demand, and increasing iron ore shipments [11]. Data Analysis Rebar - Spot prices continued to decline, and the basis weakened. The spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar was at a relatively high level [24][40]. Iron Ore - Spot prices were firm, and the basis converged to near par. Iron ore shipments globally and from Australia and Brazil, as well as arrivals at 45 ports, showed certain trends. Hot metal production of 247 steel enterprises decreased, and iron ore import inventory and consumption also had corresponding changes [43][46][52]. Market Outlook - Steel prices were expected to follow coking coal, with short - term fluctuations to find bottom support and wait for signals of improved peak - season demand. Iron ore was expected to fluctuate at a high level in the short term due to upward pressure from weakening downstream demand, increasing inventory, and rising shipments [59][61].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Views of the Report - The domestic supply side of aluminum has little change, with the operating capacity increasing steadily. As the seasonal off - season ends, downstream consumption shows signs of recovery. The overall operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises increased by 1 percentage point to 61.7% this week, and the "Golden September" effect is gradually emerging. With the improvement of aluminum demand, the accumulation rate of aluminum ingot social inventory slows down.
