1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market is favorable, and the prices of finished steel products continue to show a volatile and upward - trending pattern [11][12] - Overseas, after the Fed's interest - rate meeting, the monetary policy stance is cautious, falling short of market expectations. A preventive interest - rate cut has begun, and market expectations are gradually being met. Short - term market sentiment has cooled slightly, while long - term global liquidity easing is expected to drive the recovery of the manufacturing industry, indirectly boosting steel demand. The marginal impact of interest - rate cuts on total steel demand remains [11][12] - Domestically, the economic data in August slowed down and were lower than expected, increasing the possibility of introducing more stimulus policies. The real - estate sales performance is weak, and it will take time for the real - estate market to stabilize. Export volume decreased slightly last week and is generally in a weak and volatile state [11][12] - In terms of fundamentals, the output of rebar decreased, apparent demand increased slightly, and inventory pressure was marginally relieved; the output of hot - rolled coils increased, apparent demand was neutral, and inventory increased slightly. Currently, the demand for both rebar and hot - rolled coils is weak, and the peak - season demand is not strong. Overall, although it has entered the traditional peak season, the demand for rebar remains weak, and while hot - rolled coils have some resilience, they are still generally weak. Steel mill profits are gradually narrowing, and if demand cannot be effectively restored, steel prices may still decline. The raw - material end is relatively strong, and attention should be paid to the policy trends of the upcoming Fourth Plenary Session [11][12] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Cost End - The profit of hot - rolled coil blast furnaces is 67 yuan/ton, a slight increase compared to last week.

The daily average output of hot metal was 2.4055 million tons, and hot - metal output has remained above 2.4 million tons. Currently, the output of hot - rolled coils is relatively high, and it is necessary to monitor whether demand can absorb the output [8] 3.3 Demand End - This week, the consumption of hot - rolled coils was 3.22 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 43,000 tons, about a 1.9% year - on - year increase compared to the same week last year, and a cumulative year - on - year increase of about 1.6%.
