黑色建材日报：市场谨慎观望，价格偏弱运行-20251015

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The steel market is experiencing weak sentiment with prices trending downwards due to high post - holiday production, average demand, slow inventory reduction, and shrinking steel mill profits. The market is also influenced by geopolitical and economic uncertainties [1]. - The iron ore market is under cautious observation with prices weakening. Although demand is resilient, the expected increase in future supply and high current price valuations suggest potential downside risks, especially considering possible steel mill profit changes and steel production cuts [3]. - The coking coal and coke (double - coking) market shows no obvious supply - demand contradictions and is expected to move in a sideways pattern. Macroeconomic policies and supply - demand dynamics on both sides need to be monitored [5][6]. - The动力煤 market has seen rising prices in the production areas due to positive downstream demand. In the short term, prices will move sideways, while in the long - term, the supply remains ample [8]. 3. Summary by Commodity Steel - Market Analysis: The futures price of rebar closed at 3061 yuan/ton, and hot - rolled coil at 3421 yuan/ton. The spot trading volume of steel was average, with the national building materials trading volume at 94,577 tons, a daily decrease of 10.8% and a weekly increase of 17.51%. Post - holiday steel production remained high, demand was average, inventory reduction was slow, and steel mill profits continued to shrink [1]. - Strategy: The recommended strategy for single - side trading is to expect a sideways - to - downward movement [2]. Iron Ore - Market Analysis: The futures price of iron ore weakened. The main 2601 contract closed at 782 yuan/ton, down 2.8%. The price of imported iron ore in Tangshan ports declined. The total transaction volume of main ports was 185.9 million tons, a 95.27% increase from the previous day, and the forward - spot transaction volume was 91 million tons, a 44.44% increase. Iron ore arrivals increased significantly this week, iron - water production remained high, and port inventories increased slightly [3]. - Strategy: The recommended single - side trading strategy is a sideways - to - downward movement [4]. Double - Coking (Coking Coal and Coke) - Market Analysis: The futures of double - coking oscillated. The coke market was stable, with most steel mills purchasing for immediate needs. The production of coking coal was gradually recovering, but was affected by some factors. The customs system failure at the Ganqimaodu port led to a significant decline in customs clearance [5]. - Strategy: Both coking coal and coke are expected to move sideways [7]. 动力煤 - Market Analysis: In the production areas, coal prices continued to rise due to positive downstream demand from the metallurgical and chemical industries. At ports, the market sentiment was good, but the transaction was deadlocked. The imported coal market was strong, and the price advantage was obvious [8]. - Strategy: No trading strategy was provided [8].
