Report Information - Report Title: Steel & Iron Ore | Daily Report [3] - Report Date: September 23, 2025 [3] Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report. Core Views - Rebar: The main contract price oscillated downward with a daily decline of 1.00%, volume decreased while open interest increased. In the current situation of weak supply and increasing demand, the fundamentals of rebar have improved, but the downstream has not improved, and demand concerns remain. The improvement is not strong. The relatively positive factors are cost increase and policy expectations. With the game of multiple and short factors, it is expected that the steel price will maintain an oscillating trend. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - Hot - rolled coil: The main contract price declined weakly with a daily decline of 1.33%, volume increased while open interest decreased. Currently, the demand resilience of hot - rolled coils is weakening, while the supply remains at a high level. The supply - demand pattern has weakened, inventory has increased again, and the coil price continues to be under pressure. The relatively positive factor is cost increase. It is expected that the subsequent trend will be oscillating and weakening. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - Iron ore: The main contract price declined from a high level with a daily decline of 1.23%, both volume and open interest decreased. Currently, the demand for iron ore is performing well, supporting the high - level operation of ore prices, but the demand positive factors are weakening, supply pressure is increasing, the fundamental expectation is weakening, and the valuation is relatively high. The pre - holiday trend is cautiously optimistic, and beware of the intensification of industrial contradictions [4].
