淡季产业表现中性，焦煤供给扰动有限

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "Oscillation" [6] Core Viewpoints of the Report - Yesterday, affected by the news of winter coal supply guarantee, there were concerns about increased supply, causing the prices of coking coal and coke to decline rapidly. The expectation of loose coal supply and lower price center also negatively affected the prices of alloys and soda ash through the cost side. Other varieties in the sector were relatively stable. During the night session, the prices of steel and ore rebounded slightly, while other varieties remained volatile [1][2]. - In the current traditional off - season, the industry performance is average. Steel and iron ore, which had significant previous declines, have a chance of a phased rebound. Later, the price drive from the industrial side in the off - season is limited, and prices are expected to remain volatile. If there are still positive macro and policy releases later, phased upward opportunities can still be watched [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Iron Element - The negative feedback transmission in the current industrial chain is not smooth. Steel mills' willingness to actively overhaul is weaker than in the same period of the past two years. Later, as arrivals further decline, the supply - demand pattern is expected to improve marginally, alleviating the overall inventory accumulation pressure of iron ore. After a rapid price decline, it is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term. The fundamentals of scrap steel show both weak supply and demand, and it is expected that the short - term spot price will fluctuate with finished products [2]. Carbon Element - After three rounds of price increases, steel mills are under great profit pressure and are resistant to further price increases. However, the cost support for coke is relatively strong, and steel mills still have procurement demand. The game between coke producers and steel mills will continue, and the coke price is expected to be volatile. Energy supply guarantee mainly involves thermal coal, and coal supply guarantee during the heating season is in line with expectations. Also, safety production work is emphasized, and the 2025 central safety production assessment and inspection has been launched. The supply of coking coal is still expected to be poor this year, and the spot coal price has strong support, but the futures price is still suppressed by finished products. The coking coal price is expected to be volatile [2]. Alloys - In the short term, the firm cost supports the price of silicomanganese, but the market supply - demand is loose, and there is insufficient driving force for price increase. The strong short - term cost trend supports the price of ferrosilicon, but the market supply - demand relationship is relatively loose, and the price upward driving force is insufficient. It is expected to run at a low level around the cost [3]. Glass and Soda Ash - There are still expectations of supply disturbances for glass, but the inventories of middle - and downstream are moderately high. Fundamentally, the current supply - demand is still in surplus. If there is no more cold - repair before the end of the year, it will return to fundamental trading, and the price may be volatile and weak; otherwise, the price will rise. In the long - term, market - oriented production capacity reduction is still needed. If the market refocuses on fundamentals, the price is expected to continue to be volatile and downward. Recently, due to increased costs and factory cold - repair, the market trading sentiment has improved, and the spot price has slightly increased, but the supply - demand pattern remains unchanged. The price above the industry's high - cost line may face certain pressure again. In the long - term, the supply surplus pattern will further intensify, and the price center will continue to decline, promoting production capacity reduction [3]. Specific Varieties - Steel: In the spot market, transactions are generally weak, and market sentiment has weakened. The profitability of steel mills has declined significantly, and seasonal overhauls have increased, leading to a significant drop in steel production. In the off - season, demand is under pressure to weaken, and the inventory level is still higher than the same period last year. The current futures valuation is low, and the downward space is limited. Attention should be paid to the macro and policy factors that may drive a low - level rebound [7]. - Iron Ore: The overseas mine shipment is relatively stable, and arrivals have decreased this week. The demand for iron ore is affected by sintering restrictions and overhauls, and the iron - making water output has declined. The port inventory has continued to accumulate, but the supply - demand may be repaired marginally later. After a rapid price decline, it is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term [7]. - Scrap Steel: The supply of scrap steel has decreased this week, and the demand shows different trends in short - and long - processes. The overall daily consumption has slightly decreased, and the steel mill inventory has increased. It is expected that the short - term spot price will fluctuate with finished products [8]. - Coke: The futures price of coke followed coking coal and was weak. The supply is difficult to increase due to high costs and environmental protection requirements. Although steel mills have overhaul expectations, the demand support still exists. The game between coke producers and steel mills will continue, and the price is expected to be volatile [8][10]. - Coking Coal: The futures price of coking coal was weak due to the news of energy supply guarantee. The supply is tight, and imports are also limited. The spot coal price has strong support, but the futures price is suppressed by finished products. It is expected to be volatile [12]. - Glass: The "anti - involution" expectation still has an impact, and the macro situation is neutral. The supply may be disturbed, but the middle - and downstream inventories are moderately high, and the supply - demand is in surplus. If there is no more cold - repair by the end of the year, the price may be volatile and weak; otherwise, it will rise. In the long - term, market - oriented production capacity reduction is needed [13]. - Soda Ash: The "anti - involution" expectation still has an impact, and the macro situation is neutral. The supply and demand fundamentals have not changed significantly, and the industry is still at the bottom of the cycle. Recently, the cost support has been strengthened, and the market sentiment has improved, but the long - term supply surplus pattern will intensify, and the price center will decline [13]. - Silicomanganese: Yesterday, the sharp decline in the coking coal futures price weakened the cost support expectation for silicomanganese. The market supply - demand is loose, and the price is expected to fluctuate at a low level around the cost [15]. - Ferrosilicon: The decline in the coking coal futures price weakened the cost support for ferrosilicon. The supply is at a high level, and the demand is weak. It is expected to run at a low level around the cost [17].
