Report Overview - Report Title: Steel & Iron Ore | Daily Report - Report Date: September 26, 2025 - Report Author: Tu Weihua 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views - Rebar: The main contract price weakened and declined, with a daily decline of 1.58%, and both trading volume and open interest increased. Although the supply - demand pattern of rebar improved before the holiday, downstream performance remained sluggish, demand concerns persisted, the fundamental improvement was questionable, and the upward driving force was weak. With the fermentation of concerns about production cut negative feedback, steel prices were under pressure again and were seeking a bottom weakly. Attention should be paid to the change in position on the futures market [4]. - Hot - rolled coil: The main contract price declined weakly, with a daily decline of 1.22%, and both trading volume and open interest increased. In the current supply - demand weakness situation, the fundamentals of hot - rolled coils were weak, the high - supply pressure remained, and prices were under pressure. With the fermentation of concerns about production cut negative feedback, it was expected to continue to fluctuate weakly before the holiday. Attention should be paid to demand performance [4]. - Iron ore: The main contract price fell from a high level, with a daily decline of 1.74%, trading volume increased while open interest decreased. Currently, the demand for iron ore was okay, supporting the ore price, but supply was rising, demand benefits were weakening, the supply - demand pattern was weakening, and the over - valued ore price was under pressure again. Coupled with concerns about production cut negative feedback, the ore price was expected to be under pressure again and fall from a high level. Attention should be paid to the performance of finished steel products [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Industry Dynamics - Trump announced that the US will impose a new round of high - tariffs on multiple imported products from October 1, including a 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets, bathroom sinks and related building materials, a 30% tariff on imported furniture, and a 100% tariff on patented and branded drugs [6]. - More than twenty regions have issued concentrated local subsidies for automobiles. Since entering the "Golden September", relevant local policies on a new round of automobile subsidies have been intensively issued, and the subsidy policies have significantly stimulated the automobile market. As of September 10, the number of applications for automobile trade - ins this year has reached 8.3 million [7]. - 208 steel enterprises have completed the public announcement of ultra - low emission transformation. On September 25, Xining Special Steel Co., Ltd. announced its progress in ultra - low emission transformation and evaluation and monitoring, and so far, 208 steel enterprises have made announcements on the CISA website [8]. 3.2 Spot Market | Product | Location | Spot Price | Price Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rebar (HRB400E, 20mm) | Shanghai | 3,230 | - 30 | | | Tianjin | 3,220 | - 10 | | | National Average | 3,292 | - 14 | | Hot - rolled coil (Shanghai, 4.75mm) | Shanghai | 3,390 | - 10 | | | Tianjin | 3,300 | - 30 | | | National Average | 3,427 | - 12 | | Tangshan billet (Q235) | - | 3,030 | 0 | | Zhangjiagang heavy scrap (≥6mm) | - | 2,160 | 0 | | 61.5% PB powder (Shandong port) | - | 783 | - 13 | | Tangshan iron concentrate (wet basis) | - | 802 | 4 | | Ocean freight (Australia) | - | 10.90 | 0.08 | | Ocean freight (Brazil) | - | 25.83 | 0.62 | | SGX swap (current month) | - | 105.60 | - 0.10 | | Platts Index (CFR, 62%) | - | 106.10 | - 0.40 | | Coil - rebar price difference | - | 160 | 2 | | Rebar - scrap price difference | - | 1,070 | - 30 | [9] 3.3 Futures Market | Product | Active Contract | Closing Price | Change (%) | High | Low | Volume | Volume Difference | Open Interest | Open Interest Difference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rebar | - | 3,114 | - 1.58 | 3,171 | 3,113 | 1,388,756 | 505,741 | 1,976,545 | 106,096 | | Hot - rolled coil | - | 3,313 | - 1.22 | 3,359 | 3,312 | 612,844 | 275,416 | 1,391,208 | 21,492 | | Iron ore | - | 790.0 | - 1.74 | 806.0 | 788.0 | 326,907 | 135,724 | 508,929 | - 20,811 | [12] 3.4 Related Charts - Steel Inventory: Included charts of rebar inventory (weekly change, total inventory of steel mills and social inventory), hot - rolled coil inventory (weekly change, total inventory of steel mills and social inventory) [15][17]. - Iron Ore Inventory: Included charts of 45 - port iron ore inventory (total inventory, seasonal inventory), 247 steel mills' iron ore inventory, and domestic mine iron concentrate inventory [20][24][25]. - Steel Mill Production: Included charts of 247 sample steel mills' blast furnace operating rate and capacity utilization, 87 independent electric furnace operating rates, 247 steel mills' profitable steel mill ratio, and 75 building material independent electric arc furnace steel mills' profit - loss situation [29][31][33]. 3.5后市研判 - Rebar: The supply - demand pattern continued to improve marginally. Rebar production increased slightly week - on - week, but due to poor profitability, the short - term production increase momentum was weak, and supply was stable at a low level. However, there was a pressure of inventory increase during the holiday, and the positive effect was limited. Demand continued to improve, with the weekly apparent demand increasing by 10.41 tons week - on - week, but high - frequency trading was weak, and both supply and demand were at low levels in recent years. The improvement space in the peak season was questionable. Before the holiday, although the supply - demand pattern improved, downstream performance was sluggish, demand concerns remained, the fundamental improvement was questionable, the upward driving force was weak, and steel prices were under pressure again and seeking a bottom weakly [37]. - Hot - rolled coil: The supply - demand pattern continued to be weak, and inventory continued to increase. Hot - rolled coil production decreased by 2.30 tons week - on - week, and inventory was high, so the supply pressure was still large. Demand resilience weakened, with the weekly apparent demand decreasing by 0.14 tons week - on - week, and high - frequency trading declined. Although the production of the main downstream cold - rolled products increased significantly, industrial contradictions persisted, which was likely to drag down hot - rolled coil demand. It was expected to continue to fluctuate weakly before the holiday [37]. - Iron Ore: The supply - demand pattern weakened, and inventory increased significantly. Steel mill production was stable, and ore terminal consumption was high. This week, the average daily hot metal output and imported ore daily consumption of sample steel mills increased week - on - week, and demand was okay, supporting the ore price. However, the restocking was coming to an end, and steel market contradictions were accumulating, so the positive effect was expected to weaken. At the same time, the arrival volume of iron ore at domestic ports increased significantly, overseas miners' shipments were still at a high level, and domestic ore supply recovered. The high - valued ore price was under pressure again and was expected to fall from a high level [38].
