Group 1: Steel Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core View The short - term steel inventory pressure is not significant, but the off - season demand has a low acceptance of high prices. The main contract is approaching the position transfer, and the price of the October contract is expected to fluctuate at high levels. It is recommended to operate on the long side during the callback, and pay attention to the support levels of 3400 and 3200 yuan for the October contract of hot - rolled coil and rebar respectively. Be cautious about chasing long positions. [1] Summary by Directory - Price and Spread: The prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil spot and futures contracts generally declined. The prices of steel billets decreased, while the prices of slab remained unchanged. The profits of hot - rolled coils in different regions increased, and the profits of rebar in some regions also increased. [1] - Output: The daily average pig iron output decreased slightly by 0.1%, the output of five major steel products increased by 0.2%, the rebar output increased by 4.8% (with the electric - furnace output increasing by 15.4% and the converter output increasing by 3.3%), and the hot - rolled coil output decreased by 2.4%. [1] - Inventory: The inventory of five major steel products increased by 1.7%, the rebar inventory increased by 1.9%, and the hot - rolled coil inventory increased by 2.5%.

[1] Group 2: Iron Ore Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core View The iron ore 09 contract showed a volatile trend. In the future, the iron water output in August will remain high, and the improvement of steel mill profits will support the raw materials. However, due to the weakening of steel apparent demand in the off - season, the previous trading logic has been overdrawn. It is recommended to take profit and wait and see for both single - side and arbitrage operations.

[4] Group 3: Coke and Coking Coal Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core View The coke futures showed a trend of reaching the peak and then falling back, with sharp price fluctuations recently. The sixth round of price increase of coke has been officially implemented, and there may be further price increases in the future. However, due to factors such as over - drawn bullish expectations and exchange intervention, the current long - side logic has changed. It is recommended to take profit and wait and see for both speculative and arbitrage operations. For coking coal, similar to iron ore, it is also recommended to take profit and wait and see for single - side and arbitrage operations. [6] Summary by Directory - Price and Spread: The prices of some coke and coking coal varieties and their spreads changed. The coking profit decreased, while the sample coal mine profit increased.
