Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - Steel prices are oscillating with improved trading volume. The policy may enter a vacuum period, and the impact of the Tangshan production - restriction policy is expected to be limited. Focus on the possible mismatch in the low - inventory environment. Steel prices are currently stable, with support from the electric - arc furnace valley - electricity cost and upward elasticity depending on market sentiment and demand strength [3]. - For ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, macro policies are mainly positive, and prices are on the strong side. Although the anti - involution policy expectation is uncertain, previous trading logic continues to support prices. The supply is slightly increasing, and inventory is being depleted, but the high inventory still poses a challenge [4]. - For coking coal and coke, the impact of over - production inspection is ongoing, and the market is still betting on "anti - involution". The sixth round of coke price increase is yet to be confirmed. The coking coal supply is tightened, but the price faces upward pressure. The market is volatile, and light - position participation is recommended, with key time points to watch [6]. - For iron ore, the anti - involution sentiment is rising again. The direction of the black sector depends on coking coal. Iron ore supply is expected to increase, but the "anti - involution" policy may have a trend - setting impact. The lower support for iron ore is still effective, and there may be an upward opportunity after adjustment [6]. 3.

The Tangshan production - restriction policy is mild, and its overall impact on production is expected to be limited [3]. - Industry Reality: Last week, hot - rolled coil supply and demand were both weak, while building materials showed strong supply and demand. Steel exports are still at a high level, but the marginal weakening is observed [3]. - Investment Suggestion: Unilaterally, focus on the electric - arc furnace valley - electricity cost support; for arbitrage, do long on the 01 hot - rolled coil - rebar spread; there are partial profit - taking opportunities for basis, and conduct rolling operations in the spot - futures market [5]. Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese - Market Situation: Macro policies are positive, and demand - side factors support prices. The anti - involution policy has an impact on supply and cost. The supply is slightly increasing, and inventory is being depleted, but high inventory remains a problem [4]. - Investment Suggestion: Hold long positions in the 01 contract [5]. Coking Coal and Coke - Market Situation: The sixth - round coke price increase is yet to be confirmed. Coking coal supply is tightened due to production inspection and natural factors. The market is betting on "anti - involution", but the price faces upward pressure as downstream acceptance of high - priced resources decreases [6]. - Investment Suggestion: Temporarily hold a wait - and - see attitude [6]. Iron Ore - Market Situation: The black sector is oscillating, and the direction depends on coking coal. Iron ore supply is expected to increase, but the "anti - involution" policy may have a significant impact. The lower support for iron ore is effective, and there may be an upward opportunity after adjustment [6]. - Investment Suggestion: Consider doing long on the 9 - 1 spread as it has shrunk to a historically low level [6].
