Report Summary 1) Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2) Core Views - Rebar: The main contract price of rebar declined weakly with a daily drop of 2.05%, with increasing volume and decreasing positions. In the current situation of both supply and demand increasing, the fundamentals of rebar have not improved substantially. Under the dominance of industrial logic, steel prices are still prone to pressure. The relatively positive factor is that the real - world contradictions are not significant under the low - inventory situation. It is expected that the rebar price will shift to a volatile downward trend, and domestic policies should be monitored [4]. - Hot - Rolled Coil: The main contract price of hot - rolled coil weakened and declined, recording a daily drop of 2.30%, with increasing volume and decreasing positions. Currently, both supply and demand of hot - rolled coils have weakened, the fundamentals have deteriorated slightly, inventory has increased slightly, but overall contradictions are not significant, and costs have risen significantly. It is expected that the hot - rolled coil price will maintain a high - level volatile operation, and overseas risks should be monitored [4]. - Iron Ore: The main contract price of iron ore continued to decline, with a daily drop of 1.75%, and both volume and positions decreased. Currently, the optimistic sentiment has weakened, and the over - valued ore price is oscillating downward. The relatively positive factor is that the fundamentals of iron ore are still acceptable under the current situation of weak supply and strong demand, and the downward space is limited. Under the dominance of industrial logic, it is expected that the ore price will continue the high - level adjustment trend, and the performance of finished products should be monitored [4]. 3) Summary by Directory Industry Dynamics - Industrial Profits: In June, the year - on - year decline in the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size narrowed compared with May.
