Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal and fuel consumption industry [10]. Core Insights - Recent expectations of steel production restrictions have raised concerns about a potential decline in coking coal demand, which could suppress coking coal prices. However, historical data suggests that administrative production restrictions often lead to a rapid recovery in steel mill profits, reducing their willingness to pressure upstream material prices, resulting in a co-resonance price increase for both steel and coking coal. If steel production is reduced due to significant losses, both steel and coking coal prices tend to decline together [2][7]. - Looking ahead to 2025, steel mill profits remain favorable, and the motivation for voluntary production cuts is low. If administrative production cuts occur, there is potential for a co-resonance price increase in coking coal, leading to absolute returns in the equity sector [2][7].
