Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views Steel - Steel maintains a weak trend, with iron ore and coking coal showing divergent trends. Steel apparent demand remains at a low level in the off - season and has not recovered. There is an expectation of inventory accumulation at low prices from August to September, and the apparent demand is expected to pick up in the peak season, with slower inventory accumulation. The steel supply - demand situation has not deteriorated to the negative feedback stage. Future steel prices will more likely follow the supply - side expectations of coking coal. For the January contract, pay attention to the support levels of 3100 for rebar and 3300 for hot - rolled coils [1] Iron Ore - As of the previous afternoon's close, the iron ore 2601 contract showed a stable oscillating trend. On the supply side, the global shipment volume of iron ore has dropped significantly from its annual high, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has decreased. It is estimated that the subsequent average arrival volume will first increase and then decrease. On the demand side, the steel mill profit margin has slightly declined, and after major events, the hot - metal production will significantly rebound this week, increasing the steel mills' restocking demand. It is expected that supply and demand will recover simultaneously this week. In terms of inventory, port inventory has slightly increased, the port clearance volume has decreased month - on - month, and the steel mills' equity iron ore inventory has decreased month - on - month. Looking ahead, due to the still high profit margin of steel mills, hot - metal production will remain at a relatively high level in September, and the low port inventory year - on - year provides support for iron ore. The iron ore market is currently in a slightly tight balance, and it is recommended to take a long position on dips for the iron ore 2601 contract and reduce the position of the long - iron - ore short - coking - coal arbitrage [3] Coking Coal and Coke - As of the previous afternoon's close, coking coal futures showed an oscillating downward trend, with sharp price fluctuations recently. The spot auction price was stable with a weak trend, and the Mongolian coal quotation was weak. For coke, futures showed an oscillating rebound trend, with sharp price fluctuations recently. After the first round of price cuts in the coke spot market, it has temporarily stabilized, and the port trade quotation follows the futures. On the supply side of coking coal, due to the shutdown of main - producing area coal mines last week, coal mine production decreased significantly month - on - month, but after the end of the parade, production restrictions were lifted, and the main - producing areas gradually resumed production. For coke, due to the previous consecutive price increases, coking profits improved, and northern coking enterprises quickly resumed production after being restricted by major events. On the demand side, the hot - metal production of blast furnaces dropped significantly last week, and steel mills will resume production this week, leading to a rapid rebound in hot - metal production. In terms of inventory, coking plant and steel mill inventories have slightly increased, and port inventories have decreased for coke; for coking coal, last week, coal mines, coal preparation plants, coking plants, and steel mills reduced their inventories, while ports and border crossings slightly increased their inventories. The overall inventory is at a medium - low level. It is recommended to take profit on short positions, treat the market with an oscillating view, and reduce the position of the long - iron - ore short - coking - coal/coke arbitrage [5] Group 3: Summary by Directory Steel Steel Prices and Spreads - Rebar and hot - rolled coil spot and futures prices in different regions have generally declined.
