- Report Industry Investment Rating - Coke - Oscillating weakly [1] - Coking coal - Oscillating weakly [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The PMI data in May rebounded month - on - month compared to April. Although it is still below 50, it is stronger than the seasonality, mainly due to the repair of export orders after the China - US economic and trade agreement reached in Geneva. The focus will return to the domestic economic operation. The market is looking forward to supply - side production restrictions and fiscal policies to boost domestic demand [4]. - For coking coal, supply is shrinking due to environmental inspections and safety production, and the biggest bearish pressure is loosening. However, the high - level Mongolian coal customs clearance still poses import pressure. If the mine capacity utilization rate continues to decline, the upstream inventory accumulation pressure will gradually ease [4]. - For coke, cost and downstream demand are the decisive factors for its future trend. With the continuous decline of coking coal prices, coke enterprises still have a small profit and supply remains flat. Iron - water production has been decreasing for three consecutive weeks, and demand has peaked. If the cost side does not stabilize, it is expected that coke spot prices may see two more rounds of price cuts in June [4]. - Currently, the price has basically reached the cost line of most coal mines, and the room for further decline is limited. Short - term advice is to continue to hold a small position of J09 long orders and add positions after confirming the bottom [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Coking Coal Supply - The supply of coking coal is affected by environmental inspections and safety production and has begun to shrink.

Strategy Recommendations - For coking coal, if the mine capacity utilization rate continues to decline, the upstream inventory accumulation pressure will gradually ease. - For coke, if the cost side does not stabilize, it is expected that coke spot prices may see two more rounds of price cuts in June. Short - term advice is to continue to hold a small position of J09 long orders and add positions after confirming the bottom [4][5].
