Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The main contract price of rebar oscillated with a daily increase of 0.03%, and the volume and open interest contracted. The demand for rebar has improved, but its sustainability is questionable, the inventory reduction pressure is high, and the supply remains low. With cost support, the steel price is expected to continue the oscillatory bottom - seeking trend, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated weakly with a daily decline of 0.16%, the volume decreased, and the open interest increased. The high - supply pressure persists, the demand resilience is weakening, and the supply - demand pattern of hot - rolled coil is weak. With cost support, the price will continue the weak bottom - seeking trend, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - The main contract price of iron ore oscillated weakly with a daily decline of 0.19%, the volume decreased, and the open interest increased. The supply of iron ore is increasing, the industry concerns remain, the demand downward pressure is emerging, the fundamentals of the iron ore market are weakening, and the high - valued iron ore price will continue to be under pressure and run weakly. Attention should be paid to the performance of steel [4]. Summary by Directory 1.

Related Charts - The report provides charts on steel inventory (including rebar and hot - rolled coil inventory), iron ore inventory (including national 45 - port inventory, 247 - steel mill inventory), and steel mill production situation (including blast furnace operating rate, capacity utilization rate, and profitability) [15][20][30]. 5.后市研判 - For rebar, the supply - demand pattern has changed. The production of construction steel mills is weakly stable, the weekly output has decreased, and the supply is in a continuous contraction state but the decline is slowing. The demand has recovered after the festival, but the high - frequency daily trading volume is low, and the demand weakness remains. With cost support, the steel price is expected to continue the oscillatory bottom - seeking trend [41]. - For hot - rolled coil, the supply - demand pattern continues to weaken. The inventory is increasing, the production of plate steel mills is weakly stable, the supply pressure is high, and the demand improvement is questionable. With cost support, the price will continue the weak bottom - seeking trend [41]. - For iron ore, the supply - demand pattern has weakened. The steel mill production is weakly stable, the terminal consumption of iron ore is declining, the supply is increasing, and the high - valued iron ore price will continue to be under pressure and run weakly [42].
