  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report Steel - Black metal prices have stabilized with a rising central level. Futures prices strengthened on Friday, and the basis remained weak. Hot - rolled coil production has rebounded, with high apparent demand and a small decline. However, the supply and demand of rebar are both weak, and the apparent demand has declined. Steel and billet exports remain high, absorbing production. It is still the off - season for steel, and demand is difficult to improve marginally. Steel maintains a pattern of cost drag and weak demand expectations. Operate with a bearish bias on rebounds or sell out - of - the - money call options. Pay attention to the pressure levels of 3150 and 3050 yuan for hot - rolled coil and rebar respectively[1]. Iron Ore - In the short term, iron ore is under obvious upward pressure due to the expected decline in hot metal, supply increase, and administrative production cuts. However, the short - term decline in hot metal is limited. In the medium - to - long - term, a bearish view on the 09 contract remains unchanged. During the off - season when demand weakens, the price range of iron ore may shift downwards, with a reference range of 670 - 720 yuan[3]. Coke - Last week, coke futures showed a volatile and slightly stronger trend, while the spot market was weakly stable. On the supply side, environmental protection inspections have led to production cuts in northern regions, and independent coking operations have declined. On the demand side, hot metal production has continued to decline after reaching a peak. In terms of inventory, coking plants and ports have reduced inventories, and steel mills are actively reducing inventories. Strategically, consider short - term shorting of the coke 2509 contract on rebounds and a long - coking coal and short - coke arbitrage strategy[5]. Coking Coal - Last week, coking coal futures showed a volatile and slightly stronger trend, and the spot market was weakly stable. On the supply side, domestic production has decreased due to various factors, and imported coal has different situations. On the demand side, coking operations have declined, and downstream users are cautious in restocking. In terms of inventory, overall inventory is at a medium level. Strategically, consider short - term long - coking coal 2509 contract on dips and a long - coking coal and short - coke arbitrage strategy[5]. Ferrosilicon and Ferromanganese - Ferrosilicon: Last week, ferrosilicon production increased slightly, mainly in Ningxia and Shaanxi. Due to weakening demand, prices are weak, and manufacturers' losses are intensifying. Although inventories have decreased, they are still relatively high. In terms of demand, hot metal production has increased slightly, but there are risks of off - season demand decline. Strategically, it is recommended to short on rebounds[7]. - Ferromanganese: Last week, ferromanganese production increased slightly, with restarts mainly in Inner Mongolia and Yunnan. Supply pressure persists during the off - season. Inventories of manufacturers have increased, and the number of warehouse receipts has continued to decline. Although the overall supply - demand situation has improved, it is still insufficient. Strategically, it is recommended to short on rebounds[7]. 3.
