Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint The report believes that there is still rigid demand support, but downstream procurement is cautious, market sentiment continues to cool, and prices lack effective support. With continuous disturbances from crude steel production restrictions and medium - to long - term overcapacity pressure, the short - term futures market performance is expected to be weak with oscillations [2][32]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 This Week's Market Review - The price of coking coal mostly dropped by 20 - 30 yuan/ton this week. On the 9th, the domestic coking coal market fluctuated weakly. The price of coking coal in the Linfen Anze market dropped by 10 yuan/ton, and the ex - factory price of low - sulfur main coking clean coal was 1,270 yuan/ton [5]. - The domestic coke price remained stable this week. The hope for the second round of coke price increase has basically failed, and there are rumors that steel mills will propose a coke price cut next week [5]. 3.2 Macro and Industry News - Three departments issued a package of financial policies to stabilize the market and expectations. The central bank announced measures such as reducing the deposit reserve ratio by 0.5 percentage points, lowering the personal housing provident fund loan interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, and reducing the policy interest rate by 0.1 percentage points. The Financial Regulatory Administration will introduce eight incremental policies, and the CSRC will support Central Huijin [7]. - In April, the year - on - year CPI decreased by 0.1%, and the PPI decreased by 2.7%. From January to April, the total value of China's goods trade imports and exports was 14.14 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 2.4%. Exports were 8.39 trillion yuan, up 7.5%, and imports were 5.75 trillion yuan, down 4.2% [8]. - In late April 2025, key steel enterprises produced 22.02 million tons of crude steel, with an average daily output of 2.202 million tons (a 1.2% decrease month - on - month), 19.6 million tons of pig iron, with an average daily output of 1.96 million tons (a 0.3% decrease month - on - month), and 22.74 million tons of steel, with an average daily output of 2.274 million tons (a 7.6% increase month - on - month) [8]. 3.3 Fundamental Analysis - Downstream steel mills are operating well, and the high - level operation of pig iron output provides rigid support for coke demand. However, due to the weakening of billet prices, market expectations are cautious [2]. - Coking coal production remains high, and inventory is at a high level. Under the situation of strong supply and demand, the fundamental contradiction of coking coal is not prominent, and the market price fluctuates steadily [2]. - Affected by the off - season of steel consumption, steel mills have obvious expectations of maintenance and production reduction, and downstream procurement of raw materials is passive. But currently, steel mills are profitable, and the current high pig iron output provides good support for raw material prices in the short term, so a sharp decline in coking coal is unlikely [2]. 3.4 Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - The short - term futures market is expected to be weak with oscillations. The investment strategies are: for single - side trading, combine shorting at high prices with range trading; for inter - period arbitrage, mainly wait and see; for coking profit, mainly wait and see [32][33].
