Report Overview - Report Title: Steel & Iron Ore | Daily Report - Report Date: September 10, 2025 - Report Industry: Steel and Iron Ore 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report Core Views - Rebar: The main contract price is weakly oscillating with a daily decline of 0.73%. In the current supply-demand weakness, the fundamentals are weak, and industrial contradictions are accumulating. With the relatively favorable peak-season expectation and rising costs, the steel price is expected to continue the low-level oscillating trend. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - Hot-rolled Coil: The main contract price is oscillating with a daily decline of 0.39%. In the current supply-demand weakness, industrial contradictions are accumulating limitedly, and the fundamentals are relatively good. With less delivery pressure, the short-term trend of hot-rolled coil is relatively strong. Attention should be paid to the demand change [4]. - Iron Ore: The main contract price is oscillating at a high level with a daily increase of 0.25%. In the current supply-demand weakness, the fundamentals of iron ore are running smoothly. The holiday restocking expectation and supply disruptions support the ore price to continue the strong trend. However, the relatively negative factor is the high valuation, and the upside space is cautiously optimistic. Attention should be paid to the performance of steel [4]. 3.

The production of construction steel mills is weakening, and the weekly output of rebar has decreased by 1.88 tons. The demand is weak, and the peak-season demand is in doubt. The steel price is expected to continue the low-level oscillating trend [34]. - Hot-rolled Coil: Both supply and demand are weakening. The production of steel mills is restricted during the military parade, and the weekly output has decreased by 10.50 tons. The demand is also weakening, and the demand toughness is weakening. The short-term trend is relatively strong [34]. - Iron Ore: The supply-demand pattern has changed. The terminal consumption of ore has decreased significantly due to production restrictions. The supply is expected to increase steadily. The ore price is supported by restocking expectations and supply disruptions, but the upside space is cautiously optimistic [35].
