Report Industry Investment Ratings - The operation ratings for various products are as follows: Thread steel, hot-rolled coil, iron ore, coke, coking coal, silicon manganese, and ferrosilicon are all rated ★☆☆, indicating a bullish/bearish bias with limited operability on the trading floor [1] Core Viewpoints - The steel market has rebounded after adjustment, but the rhythm remains volatile, influenced by factors such as Sino-US relations and domestic demand - stimulating policies [2] - The short - term trend of iron ore is expected to be a strong - side oscillation [3] - The prices of coke and coking coal are likely to be more prone to rising than falling [4][5] - The prices of silicon manganese and ferrosilicon are moving up in an oscillatory manner, and attention should be paid to external trade frictions [6][7] Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - The demand for thread steel has rebounded month - on - month but remains weak year - on - year, with production declining and inventory decreasing; the demand for hot - rolled coil has also increased, production has slightly decreased, and the inventory accumulation has slowed down [2] - Iron - making production has slightly decreased but remains high, and downstream carrying capacity is insufficient. The negative feedback expectation in the industrial chain persists [2] - In September, real estate investment continued to decline significantly, and the growth rates of infrastructure and manufacturing investment continued to fall. Domestic demand is weak, while steel exports remain high [2] Iron Ore - On the supply side, global shipments have increased month - on - month and are stronger than the same period last year, domestic arrivals have dropped from a high level, and port inventories have increased significantly [3] - On the demand side, iron - making production is gradually falling from a high level, and the pressure of production reduction in the future is increasing [3] - There are concerns about external trade frictions and negative feedback in the industrial chain, but there are also expectations for policy benefits [3] Coke - The second round of price increases for coking has started. Coking profits are average, and daily production has slightly decreased [4] - Coke inventories continue to decline slightly. Downstream purchases are on a small - scale and as needed, and traders' purchasing willingness is average [4] - Carbon element supply is abundant, and high - level iron - making production provides support. The support near the previous low is relatively solid [4] Coking Coal - The output of coking coal mines has slightly increased, spot auction transactions have improved, and transaction prices have mostly risen. Terminal inventories have increased [5] - Total coking coal inventories have slightly increased month - on - month, and production - end inventories have slightly decreased. Post - holiday production has not increased significantly [5] - Carbon element supply is abundant, and high - level iron - making production provides support. The support near the previous low is relatively solid [5] Silicon Manganese - Attention is paid to the tender pricing news of a large steel mill in the north. The current inquiry price is 5,800 yuan/ton, a 200 - yuan/ton decrease from the September transaction price [6] - Iron - making production remains high on the demand side. Weekly silicon manganese production has slightly decreased but remains at a high level, and inventories have slightly decreased [6] - Manganese ore shipping quotes have slightly increased month - on - month, and spot ores have been boosted by the trading floor. Manganese ore inventories have slightly decreased, and contradictions are not prominent [6] Ferrosilicon - Attention is paid to steel tender - related news. Iron - making production remains high on the demand side [7] - Export demand remains at around 30,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal has slightly increased month - on - month, and secondary demand has slightly increased marginally [7] - Ferrosilicon supply remains at a high level, and on - balance - sheet inventories are continuously decreasing [7]
