  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend rating for coke is "shock and weakness"; the trend rating for coking coal is also "shock and weakness" [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - The real estate price recovery has been postponed, industrial added - value has declined, and the real economy's financing demand has decreased. However, the government's leverage increase continues, and subsequent fiscal policies may bring surprises. The market expects supply - side production cuts and fiscal policies to boost domestic demand [4] - For coking coal, supply is starting to contract, and the biggest bearish pressure is loosening. If the mine capacity utilization rate continues to decline, the upstream inventory pressure will gradually ease. For coke, cost and downstream demand are decisive factors. With the weakening of coking coal prices and the decline of molten iron production, the expectation of the second round of price cuts for coke is strengthening [5] - Recently, supply - side disturbances have increased. Safety incidents and environmental inspections may further limit the supply of coking coal and coke. Although the supply - demand situation is still weak, the pessimistic sentiment may be reversed due to low valuations and supply - side contraction expectations. It is recommended to hold J09 long positions lightly and add positions after confirming the bottom [6] 3.
