Overall Investment Rating The provided reports do not mention any industry investment ratings. Core Views Steel Industry - Steel prices have been falling this year, priced with the expectation of weak demand after the imposition of tariffs. However, the industry has strong supply and demand, with continuous inventory reduction. Exports and re - exports support steel demand this year. With low inventory support, improved macro - sentiment is expected to repair valuations. Attention should be paid to the impact of terminal restocking on spot prices. For the October contract, pay attention to the pressure in the range of 3200 - 3250 for rebar and 3300 - 3400 for hot - rolled coils [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The 09 contract of iron ore oscillated upwards. Affected by macro - sentiment, the black series generally rose. In the short term, iron ore is expected to have a valuation repair, but in the medium - to - long term, a bearish view should be maintained. The high - level sustainability of hot - metal production depends on the terminal demand for finished products, and the marginal changes lie in exports and infrastructure [4]. Coke Industry - The coke futures oscillated and rebounded. The macro - positive factors drove a general rise in commodities. On the supply side, coke enterprises' production increased due to good orders, and coking profits improved. On the demand side, hot - metal production remained high after the holiday, and steel mills replenished inventory as needed. It is necessary to pay attention to whether hot - metal production will decline in the future. The inventory of coking plants and steel mills decreased, and the port inventory decreased slightly. It is recommended to continue to hold the strategy of going long on hot - rolled coils and short on coke (equal value) [5]. Coking Coal Industry - The coking coal futures oscillated and rose. The macro - positive factors drove a general rise in commodities. The spot market continued to decline slightly. The futures market was in a deep - discount structure, with large hedging pressure. The supply - demand pattern of coking coal remained loose in the short term. It is recommended to continue to hold the strategy of going long on hot - rolled coils and short on coking coal (equal value) [5]. Ferrosilicon and Ferromanganese Industry - The ferrosilicon futures oscillated strongly. Recently, manufacturers have carried out maintenance and production cuts, and the production decline has accelerated. The supply - demand contradiction has been alleviated, and it is expected that the price will oscillate, stabilize, and rebound. The ferromanganese futures also rose slightly. The supply pressure has been relieved after previous production cuts, and it is expected that the price will also oscillate and stabilize [6].
