Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Due to the escalation of the tariff war, the capital market declined sharply at the beginning of the week, increasing concerns about market recession, weakening the expected demand for industrial products, and leading to a weak sentiment in the commodity market, with industrial products hitting a new low since December 2020. The tariff increase on the US has little direct impact on coal but indirectly affects it through steel demand, and it is expected that US coal imports will be restricted. Monetary policies such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts are expected to be introduced soon [9]. - Overseas, the US government's adjustment of tariff policies and the authorization of tariff suspension measures by Trump have led to volatile market sentiment [9]. - In terms of supply and demand, the supply is loose, and due to the impact of tariffs, the demand in the sector is under pressure, with negative feedback from raw materials. The main contradiction is that tariffs dominate market sentiment, and the tariff issue will continue to disrupt the market repeatedly during Trump's term [9]. - Technically, the weekly K - line of coking coal 2509 is below the 60 - day moving average, showing a bearish trend in the weekly chart. - Operationally, coking coal 2505 is expected to operate in a weak and volatile manner [9]. 3.
