  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for coke is bullish, and for coking coal is also bullish [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The rumor of crude steel production restrictions has boosted the sentiment of the sector, and coal and coke are oscillating. The market tends to trade policy expectations due to the combination of economic pressure and policy relaxation expectations. The social financing data in June exceeded expectations, and the short - term bullish sentiment remains strong. However, the possible implementation of steel production control may suppress the price increase of coal and coke spot, but it may also drive the overall repair of industrial chain profits. Currently, coking coal faces resistance after basis repair and may have short - term correction pressure [1][4][5] 3. Summaries According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Related Information - In June, the new social financing was 4.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 900.8 billion yuan year - on - year.

The demand contracted. The operating rate of 523 mines was 85.52% (+1.7), and that of 110 coal washing plants was 62.32% (+2.6). The production rate of 230 independent coking enterprises was 72.72% (-0.48) [2] - Inventory: Upstream inventory decreased, and downstream inventory increased. The clean coal inventory of 523 mines was 377.18 million tons (-32.43), that of coal washing plants was 197.07 million tons (-17.91), that of 247 steel mills was 782.93 million tons (-6.76), that of 230 coking enterprises was 752.44 million tons (+36), and the port inventory was 321.64 million tons (+12.37) [2] 3.3 Coke - Spot and Futures: There is an expectation of spot price increase, and the futures price oscillated downward.

The market's attitude towards tariffs is mainly risk - prevention without further pricing. Domestically, the anti - involution campaign continues to develop, and the social financing data in June exceeded expectations. For coking coal, mine production resumed but was less than expected, and the spot trading volume reached a new high this year. For coke, some steel mills accepted a 50 - yuan/ton spot price increase. The blast furnace profit remained at around 180 yuan. The rumor of crude steel production restrictions increased, and the pig iron output declined, but the supply and demand of coke remained tight. It is recommended to hold long positions in J09 and hold long positions in JM09 while reducing positions at high prices in a timely manner [4]
