Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Weekly industrial data shows improvement, with social inventory reduction and a weak - stable supply - demand balance. The inventory level is similar to 2023 and higher than last year, suppressing price elasticity. "Silver October" may see a peak in demand, but the market is cautious. Cost - end differentiation may squeeze steel mill profits. It is recommended to take a wait - and - see or oscillatory approach for single - side trading, and look for opportunities to go long on the coil - to - rebar spread below 150 for the 01 contract in arbitrage trading [3]. Silicon - Iron and Manganese - Silicon - They have low production profits, limited supply growth, and cost support due to rising coal prices. High iron - water production drives strong demand. Current silicon - iron inventory is normal, and the futures valuation is not high. With a warm macro - environment, it is advisable to go long on silicon - iron on dips [3]. Coking Coal and Coke - The probability of the second round of coke price increase is high next week. The coking coal spot market is strong, with most prices hitting new highs this year due to supply disruptions and high iron - water demand. However, the high price may face uncertainty in breaking through previous highs, and it may be difficult to implement the coke price increase due to weak downstream demand. It is not recommended to chase the rise, and industrial clients can consider selling hedging [3]. Iron Ore - Commodities are generally rising, but iron ore is relatively weak due to the marginal weakening of supply - demand. Iron - water production is gradually decreasing, and there is a risk of supply - demand surplus in the fourth quarter. The expected shipment from Simandou still restricts the price ceiling. Short - term observation is recommended [3]. 4.
