Report Industry Investment Ratings - Thread steel: ★☆☆, representing a bullish bias but low operability on the trading floor [1] - Hot-rolled coil: ★☆☆, indicating a bullish bias but low operability on the trading floor [1] - Iron ore: ☆☆☆, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term long/short trend and poor operability, with a recommendation to wait and see [1] - Coke: ★☆★, implying a certain bullish trend [1] - Coking coal: ★☆☆, showing a bullish bias but low operability on the trading floor [1] - Silicon manganese: ★☆☆, indicating a bullish bias but low operability on the trading floor [1] - Ferrosilicon: ★☆★, suggesting a certain bullish trend [1] Core Views - The overall steel market has complex supply - demand relationships. With the "anti - involution" influencing the trading floor, the market sentiment is cautious after sharp fluctuations [2] - Iron ore is expected to trade in a high - level range in the short term due to factors such as supply recovery, stable demand, and macro uncertainties [2] - Coke is expected to rise in the short term, with its price being significantly affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectations [3] - Coking coal is likely to see continued destocking in the short term, with high volatility and limited downside space, and caution is advised when chasing up [5] - Silicon manganese and ferrosilicon prices are affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectations, and attention should be paid to the pressure near previous highs [6][7] Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Thread steel: This week, apparent demand and production increased, and inventory continued to accumulate. The overall market sentiment is cautious after sharp fluctuations, and the trading floor is mainly influenced by the "anti - involution" [2] - Hot - rolled coil: Demand dropped significantly, production declined, and inventory continued to accumulate. The overall demand in the downstream industries is weak, and the trading floor is affected by the overall commodity market trend [2] Iron Ore - Supply: Global shipments are expected to increase seasonally in August, domestic arrivals have increased month - on - month, and port inventories have stabilized with no obvious pressure to accumulate in the short term [2] - Demand: Terminal demand is weak due to weather, but steel mills have insufficient motivation to cut production actively, and the demand for iron ore replenishment still exists. Future policy - driven production cuts need to be monitored [2] - Macro: There are still uncertainties in overseas trade, and the bullish sentiment from domestic "anti - involution" has cooled down. The short - term trend is expected to be high - level consolidation [2] Coke - Supply: The sixth round of price increase is pending, production has slightly decreased, and overall inventory has continued to decline slightly [3] - Demand: Downstream molten iron production remains high during the off - season, and traders have good purchasing intentions [3] - Market: The price is significantly affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectations, and it is expected to rise in the short term with high volatility [3] Coking Coal - Supply: Production has slightly increased, the spot auction market has improved, and overall inventory has decreased month - on - month, with production - end inventory dropping significantly [5] - Demand: Downstream molten iron production remains high during the off - season [5] - Market: The price is affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectations, with high volatility and limited downside space in the short term. Caution is needed when chasing up [5] Silicon Manganese - Supply: Weekly production has been increasing, but the rate is lower than expected. Manganese ore prices have slightly increased this week, and it is expected to accumulate inventory in the second half of the year [6] - Demand: Molten iron production remains above 240, and the demand is relatively high. In July, supply exceeded demand, and the on - balance - sheet inventory continued to decline [6] - Market: The price is affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectations, and attention should be paid to the pressure near previous highs [6] Ferrosilicon - Supply: Supply has slightly increased, and the market trading volume is average, with on - balance - sheet inventory slightly increasing [7] - Demand: Molten iron production has slightly decreased but remains above 240. Export demand is around 30,000 tons, and the secondary demand has slightly declined. Overall demand is acceptable [7] - Market: The price follows the trend of silicon manganese and is affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectations. Attention should be paid to the pressure near previous highs [7]
