Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core View of the Report - Before the holiday, the market sentiment was cautious, with the black - series commodities reducing positions on the pre - holiday disk and price fluctuations decreasing. The current contradictions in iron ore are not significant. The supply of iron ore shipments has recovered to a medium - high level, and steel mills are replenishing stocks before the holiday, resulting in a tight balance in overall demand. On the demand side, the marginal profit of steel mills has slightly recovered, the inventory of rebar has marginally eased, and the contradictions have been alleviated, but increased rainfall in the South is unfavorable for demand. The supply and demand of hot - rolled coils are both strong, but the inventory continues to accumulate, and future attention should be paid to whether the demand can further increase. Currently, overseas orders support the price. After the interest rate cut, trading is expected to be closer to the fundamentals, with prices expected to fluctuate without a strong trend. It is recommended to reduce positions before the holiday [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Iron Ore Price Forecast and Risk Management Strategy - October Price Forecast for Iron Ore 11 Contract: The price forecast range is 780 - 850, the current at - the - money option IV is 20.94%, and the historical volatility quantile is 11.3% [2] - October Iron Ore Risk Management Strategy Recommendations - Inventory Management: For those with spot inventory worried about future price drops (long risk exposure), the strategies are to directly short iron ore futures to lock in profits (I2511, short, 25%, entry range 840 - 850) and sell call options to collect premiums (I2511 - C - 850, 30%, sell on rallies) [2] - Procurement Management: For those planning to purchase in the future and worried about price increases (short risk exposure), the strategies are to directly go long on iron ore futures to lock in costs (I2511, long, 30%, entry range 780 - 790) and sell out - of - the - money put options.
