Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - For the steel industry, the steel market is slightly stronger, with a decline in hot metal production, which is bearish for iron ore. Steel production has decreased, apparent demand has fallen, and inventory reduction has slowed. There is a negative feedback in the iron element chain, with the supply of iron elements expected to be weaker than that of carbon elements. For the 1 - month contract, pay attention to the support levels of 3000 for rebar and 3200 for hot - rolled coils. The long - coking coal and short - hot - rolled coil arbitrage can continue to be held [2]. - For the iron ore industry, the iron ore futures showed a low - level oscillating trend. Supply increased while demand decreased, with high - level hot metal production falling back and steel mills' replenishment demand weakening. The steel price decline, hot metal reduction, and inventory increase continue to suppress iron ore. Unilateral short positions are recommended when the price is high, with the range referring to 750 - 800, and the long - coking coal and short - iron ore arbitrage is recommended [4][6]. - For the coke industry, the coke futures showed an oscillating rebound. The third round of price increases by mainstream coke enterprises was implemented, and there is still an expectation of further increases. However, the decline in hot metal production and weak steel prices put pressure on price increases. The inventory is slightly decreasing, and the demand and supply are tight. It is recommended to speculatively buy the coke 2601 contract at low prices (range: 1700 - 1850) and conduct long - coking coal and short - coke arbitrage [7]. - For the coking coal industry, the coking coal futures also showed an oscillating rebound. The domestic coking coal market is strong, but the supply is expected to increase slightly. The demand for replenishment has weakened. It is recommended to buy the coking coal 2601 contract at low prices in the short - term (range: 1250 - 1350) and conduct long - coking coal and short - coke arbitrage [7].
