Report Industry Investment Ratings - Steel (including rebar and hot-rolled coil): ★☆☆ for rebar, ★☆★ for hot-rolled coil [1] - Iron Ore: ☆☆☆ [1] - Coke: ★☆☆ [1] - Coking Coal: ★☆☆ [1] - Silicon Manganese: ★☆☆ [1] - Silicon Iron: ★☆☆ [1] Core Views - The overall situation of the black metal market is complex, with different trends in each sub - sector. The "anti - involution" concept dominates the market, and the market is affected by factors such as supply - demand, policies, and macro - level expectations. Attention should be paid to policy changes on both supply and demand sides [2][3] Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Rebar: In the off - season, demand is weak, production continues to decline, and inventory accumulates slightly at a low level. Hot - rolled coil demand has resilience, production continues to fall, and inventory drops slightly. Iron - water production rises and remains high, and the market's negative feedback pressure is low under the low - inventory pattern. Domestic demand is weak, and exports are relatively high. The market is affected by "anti - involution" and shows volatile fluctuations. Attention should be paid to policy changes [2] Iron Ore - The supply side has increased global shipments compared to the previous period and is stronger than the same period last year. Domestic arrivals have declined from a high level, and port inventories are stable with no obvious short - term inventory accumulation pressure. The demand side has high iron - water production in the short term as steel mills have high profit ratios and low motivation for active production cuts. The market sentiment is improved by macro - level factors, but the current price is high, and there is a risk of increased price fluctuations [3] Coke - The price is volatile during the day. The second round of price increases for coking has been proposed, and coking profits are meager. Coking daily production has increased slightly after a continuous decline. Overall inventory has decreased slightly, and traders' purchasing willingness has increased. The supply of carbon elements is abundant, and the downstream iron - water level remains high in the off - season. The "anti - involution" has limited impact, and the futures price is at a premium, with a possible short - term upward trend [4] Coking Coal - The price hit the daily limit at the end of the day. Affected by policy documents, the futures price has risen significantly. The production of coking coal mines has slightly decreased, the spot auction market has improved, and the transaction price has continued to rise. The terminal inventory has increased, and the total inventory has decreased month - on - month. The production - end inventory has continued to decline significantly, and inventory reduction is likely to continue in the short term. The "anti - involution" impact is gradually emerging, and the futures price is at a premium, with a possible short - term upward trend [6] Silicon Manganese - The price has declined during the day. Due to previous continuous production cuts, the inventory level has decreased, and the weekly production recovery rate is slow. The spot manganese ore price has risen following the futures price. Affected by "anti - involution", the market has increased expectations for demand - side policies, and the price follows the rebar trend with a relatively small increase [7] Silicon Iron - The price has declined during the day. Iron - water production has risen above 242. Export demand remains at about 30,000 tons, with a small marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal has decreased slightly month - on - month, and the secondary demand has decreased marginally. Overall demand is acceptable. Supply has increased slightly, market transactions are average, and the on - balance - sheet inventory has declined. Affected by "anti - involution", the price follows the rebar trend but has relatively weak upward momentum [8]
