Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for several key companies in the steel sector, including Hualing Steel, Nanjing Steel, Baosteel, and New Steel [9]. Core Insights - The steel industry is experiencing a divergence in performance compared to non-ferrous metals, with non-ferrous metals benefiting more from manufacturing sectors like electrical machinery and telecommunications, while steel is more reliant on real estate and automotive industries [2]. - The average daily pig iron production has decreased, with a notable drop in steel output, particularly in rebar production [12][18]. - Total steel inventory has seen a significant reduction, with a week-on-week decline of 2.5% [24]. - Apparent consumption of steel has weakened, with rebar demand declining more than hot-rolled coil demand [40]. - Iron ore prices have strengthened, influenced by supply adjustments and market dynamics [50].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for key companies in the optical communication sector, particularly focusing on the isolation component in optical modules [4][10]. Core Insights - The global optical module industry is rapidly upgrading to 800G/1.6T due to AI computing demand, with optical isolators becoming a critical bottleneck due to a global shortage of Faraday rotators [1][19]. - The production of Faraday rotators is highly concentrated and faces significant technical barriers, leading to supply constraints that impact the expansion of optical module capacity [21][24]. - The demand for optical isolators is expected to surge as the usage of optical modules increases, particularly in high-speed applications, which will drive both the quantity and value of isolators [6][22]. Summary by Sections Section: Optical Isolators as Key Components - Optical isolators function as essential passive components in optical communication systems, allowing light to transmit in one direction while blocking reverse reflections, thus protecting laser sources and enhancing system reliability [2][20]. - The core technology of optical isolators relies on the Faraday effect, with the Faraday rotator being a critical component that is currently in short supply globally [21][23]. Section: Supply Chain Challenges - The production of Faraday rotators is dominated by a few companies in the US and Japan, creating a monopolistic supply chain that poses risks for the optical isolator market [23][24]. - Domestic companies are striving to achieve self-sufficiency in the production of Faraday rotators, but the overall localization rate remains low, indicating a significant opportunity for growth in this area [23][24]. Section: Market Demand and Growth Potential - The transition of optical modules to higher capacities (800G/1.6T) is expected to increase the demand for optical isolators significantly, with each module requiring multiple isolators depending on the number of channels [6][22]. - The report highlights that the mismatch between the rapid increase in demand for isolators and the slow expansion of production capacity will lead to price increases and heightened value for isolators in the market [6][22].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The significant decline in ultra - long bonds is not expected to lead to a significant and continuous increase in the ultra - long bond spread in the long - term. However, short - term risks need further observation. As year - end bank indicator pressures ease, fund and brokerage positions decrease, and insurance allocation demand recovers, the ultra - long bond spread is expected to repair. But short - term risks, especially potential market shocks from concentrated selling by trading institutions, are hard to judge [5][21]. Group 3: Summary by Related Content Current Situation of Ultra - long Bonds - Recently, while other bonds remained stable, ultra - long bonds declined significantly. Since last Friday, medium - and short - term bonds were stable, with 2 - year and 5 - year Treasury yields fluctuating less than 1bp, and the 10 - year Treasury yield rising slightly by 1.1bp. In contrast, the 30 - year Treasury yield rose by 5.0bp, and the 50 - year Treasury yield rose by 5.9bp. This widened the spread between 30 - year and 10 - year bonds to 38.3bps, approaching the highs in late September and early October [1][8]. Reasons for the Weakening of Ultra - long Bonds - Banks' ability to hold long - term bonds is restricted by indicators such as △EVE and the Tier 1 capital ratio close to the 15% regulatory red line, which may lead to selling of long - term bonds to meet requirements or realize floating profits [2][10]. - The public fund fee reform may increase redemption pressure, and year - end net value drawdowns may exacerbate passive redemptions, causing trading institutions like funds and brokerages to reduce long - bond holdings [2][10]. - Insurance institutions' liability growth has slowed in the past two months, with a shift in allocation towards stocks. Insurance premium income growth was negative in September and October, and the proportion of bonds in asset allocation decreased slightly while the stock proportion increased [2][10]. Attractiveness of Ultra - long Bonds - From the perspective of the overall asset portfolio, the increase in ultra - long bond spreads enhances the cost - effectiveness of the barbell portfolio. With the same duration, the barbell portfolio's return is higher than that of the bullet portfolio, increasing the demand for ultra - long bonds and promoting a shift towards a barbell - shaped portfolio [3][12]. - In terms of absolute return, the increase in ultra - long bond yields makes them more attractive compared to other assets. The spread between the 30 - year Treasury and personal mortgage rates is at its lowest since Q3 2017, and considering tax, bad debts, and capital occupation, bonds are more cost - effective than loans. Ultra - long bond yields can cover the liability costs of insurance and banks, and with the slowdown in real - estate sales, future inflows of household deposits and insurance premiums are expected to increase, so the liability side is not a constraint for institutional allocation [4][14]. - Based on previous pricing of the 30 - 10 - year spread using factors like funding prices, net ultra - long bond financing, stock market performance, and ultra - long bond turnover, the current 30 - 10 - year spread is close to the upper limit of one standard deviation, indicating that ultra - long bonds are still within a reasonable range [4][17].
