Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The market sentiment has cooled down, leading to significant declines in coking coal and coke prices, while steel, iron ore, and thermal coal prices are showing oscillatory trends [1][3][5][7] Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Market Analysis: The rebar futures contract closed at 3,248 yuan/ton, and the hot-rolled coil main contract closed at 3,397 yuan/ton. The national building materials trading volume was 101,000 tons. Building materials production and sales are basically stable, with little change in inventory, and the overall performance is slightly better than the seasonal average. As costs continue to rise, building materials prices are increasing. Plate production has declined, and the fundamentals are better than the seasonal average, with exports significantly boosting plate consumption. Recently, a series of policies such as anti-involution, expanding domestic demand, and stabilizing growth have been intensively proposed, boosting market sentiment and causing the futures market to rise continuously. However, with the sharp decline in coking coal on Friday night, the market sentiment has cooled down to some extent. Overall, the current fundamentals of the steel market are still good [1] - Strategy: The unilateral strategy is to oscillate, while there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [2] Iron Ore - Market Analysis: Yesterday, the iron ore futures prices oscillated downward. The prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties declined weakly. Traders' enthusiasm for quoting was average, and most quotes were adjusted according to the market. The total iron ore trading volume at major ports across the country was 1.125 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 12.61%. In terms of supply, the global iron ore shipments rebounded slightly this period, with a total shipment volume of 32.009 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 918,000 tons. The total arrival volume at 45 ports this period was 22.405 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.307 million tons. In July, there is a seasonal decline in iron ore shipments, but due to the recent increase in iron ore prices, the supply support is stronger than in previous years. In terms of demand, the current hot metal production remains at a high level, and there are no large - scale maintenance plans for steel mills in the short term, so the consumption and demand for iron ore are resilient. In terms of inventory, there is no obvious increase in port inventory. Overall, the fundamentals of the iron ore market are good. In the short term, after the price increase, the market sentiment has cooled down to some extent. In the future, attention should be paid to changes in hot metal production and the floating volume of iron ore at sea [3] - Strategy: The unilateral strategy is to oscillate, while there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [4] Coking Coal and Coke - Market Analysis: Yesterday, the coking coal and coke futures were weak throughout the day, and the main contracts of both coking coal and coke hit the daily limit down. In terms of imported Mongolian coal, the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal has gradually recovered to a high level recently, and there is an expectation of supply restoration. For coking coal, affected by safety and environmental inspections, there are still disruptions in mine - end supply, but the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal has increased, and future supply restoration needs to be monitored. In terms of demand, the hot metal production remains at a high level, providing rigid support for coking coal. The price increase has attracted speculative demand and driven consumption. For coke, the third round of price increases has been implemented, compressing the profits of coking enterprises, but the demand remains stable supported by the high - level hot metal production. Currently, the market sentiment has subsided, black building materials prices have generally declined, and terminal demand has weakened due to seasonal factors [5][6] - Strategy: Both coking coal and coke are recommended to adopt an oscillating strategy, while there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [6] Thermal Coal - Market Analysis: In the production areas, increased rainfall has affected production and sales, resulting in mixed price changes and a cooling of the price - support sentiment. At ports, there is a structural shortage of coal. After the downstream's phased rigid - demand procurement is completed, as the high - temperature range gradually expands, the daily consumption is gradually increasing. Traders are optimistic about the peak - season market, and market quotes are rising. In terms of imports, the price of high - calorie Australian coal is inverted compared with the domestic winning bid price, resulting in low liquidity. Indonesian low - calorie coal has obvious cost - performance advantages, and there are many downstream tenders [7] - Strategy: No strategy is provided [7]
