  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the spot transaction of coking coal improved. With the news of the upcoming central safety production assessment and inspection in 2025 and better - than - expected steel production reduction and inventory depletion data, both coking coal and coke fluctuated strongly. As of Friday's close, the coke 01 contract rose 0.87% to 1676, and the coking coal 01 contract rose 1.2% to 1179 [8]. - In the context of anti - involution expectations and over - production inspection policies, there are continuous disturbances on the supply side of coal mines. Pig iron production remains at a high level, and the spot transaction of coking coal is acceptable. The upward space of coking coal depends on the macro situation and the sustainability of steel inventory depletion. It is recommended to wait and see on a single - side basis and continue to pay attention to the reverse spread of coking coal 1 - 5. In the long term, coking coal maintains a bullish outlook under the expectations of a strict macro environment and coal mine safety supervision [8]. 3.
