Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content Group 2: Report's Core Viewpoints Steel - In the short - term, steel inventory pressure is not significant. With demand shifting from the off - peak to the peak season, steel prices are expected to be supported. It is recommended to hold existing long positions, and be cautious about chasing long due to limited release of terminal demand. The main risk lies in the interference of coking coal supply expectations [1] Iron Ore - The shipment volume is expected to decline, while the iron level will remain high in August. Steel exports are strong, short - term iron water toughness persists. Considering the upcoming policies and potential production restrictions, iron ore prices will mainly follow steel prices. It is recommended to go long on dips and conduct an arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal and short on iron ore [4] Coking Coal and Coke - Coke has potential for further price increases, and coking coal prices are generally stable with an upward bias. Supply is tight, and demand has some support. It is recommended to go long on dips for both coking coal 2601 and coke 2601, and switch to a positive spread strategy for both coke 9 - 1 and coking coal 9 - 1 [6] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Steel Price and Spread - For rebar, spot prices in East China, North China, and South China mostly increased, while futures prices of different contracts also showed minor increases. For hot - rolled coils, spot prices remained stable, and futures prices decreased slightly [1] Cost and Profit - Steel billet prices increased, and costs of different steelmaking processes in different regions showed varying degrees of increase. Profits of rebar and hot - rolled coils in different regions also increased [1] Production - Daily average pig iron output decreased by 0.6% to 240.7 tons, and the output of five major steel products increased by 0.1% to 867.4 tons. Rebar production decreased by 0.4%, while hot - rolled coil production increased by 1.7% [1] Inventory - The inventory of five major steel products increased by 1.2% to 1351.9 tons, rebar inventory increased by 1.4% to 546.3 tons, and hot - rolled coil inventory increased by 0.8% to 348.0 tons [1] Transaction and Demand - Building material trading volume decreased by 3.5%, the apparent demand for five major steel products decreased by 1.9%, rebar's apparent demand decreased by 6.1%, and hot - rolled coil's apparent demand increased by 1.5% [1] Iron Ore Price and Spread - Warehouse receipt costs of various iron ore types mostly decreased, and spot prices also showed a downward trend. The 5 - 9 spread increased by 9.1%, while the 9 - 1 spread decreased by 17.1% [4] Supply - The arrival volume at 45 ports increased by 11.9% to 2507.8 tons, and the national monthly import volume increased by 8.0% to 10594.8 tons. The global shipment volume decreased by 4.3% to 3061.8 tons [4] Demand - The daily average pig iron output of 247 steel mills decreased by 0.6% to 240.7 tons, national monthly pig iron output decreased by 3.0%, and national monthly crude steel output decreased by 3.9% [4] Inventory - The inventory at 45 ports increased by 0.6% to 13740.97 tons, the imported ore inventory of 247 steel mills increased by 1.4% to 9012.1 tons, and the inventory available days of 64 steel mills remained unchanged [4] Coking Coal and Coke Price and Spread - Coking coal and coke futures prices showed a strong upward trend. The fifth round of coke price increase was officially implemented, with an increase of 50/55 yuan/ton. Coking coal auction prices were stable with an upward bias [6] Supply - Coke production increased slightly, while the production of Fenwei sample coal mines decreased. Coal mine开工 decreased month - on - month [6] Demand - The demand for coke and coking coal was mainly supported by the high - level but slightly declining blast furnace pig iron production [6] Inventory - Coke inventory in coking plants and steel mills decreased, while port inventory increased slightly. Coking coal inventory in coking plants and steel mills increased, and port inventory decreased [6]
