1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For the steel market, due to a significant decline in steel mill gross margins and the end of the consumption peak, the scale of steel mill production cuts may exceed the normal seasonal level, potentially triggering a phased negative feedback loop. Recently, the prices of coal and coke have shown signs of weakening, and the price of iron ore has fallen from its high, weakening the cost support for steel. Technically, the futures prices of rebar and hot - rolled coils have broken below the support of the 10 - day moving average, and are facing a direction choice after a short - term narrow - range oscillation [2]. - For the iron ore market, with the arrival of the consumption off - season, it is expected that the molten iron production will likely continue to decline along the seasonal trend, and the steel mill's production cuts will suppress the raw material prices. On the supply side, the global shipments have declined from their highs, and the port inventory is rising, suppressing the futures price. The slow destocking of steel also dampens the overall market sentiment [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coils - Supply and Demand: Last week, the apparent demand for rebar decreased month - on - month, production declined, and inventory continued to fall. The inventory of hot - rolled coils decreased month - on - month but remained significantly higher than the same period in previous years. The national building steel output was 200.00 million tons, a decrease of 8.54 million tons (-4.10%); the hot - rolled coil output was 313.66 million tons, a decrease of 4.50 million tons (-1.41%) [2]. - Price Data: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3053 yuan/ton, up 7 yuan (0.23%) from the previous day and 19 yuan (0.63%) from the previous week; the closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3256 yuan/ton, up 2 yuan (0.06%) from the previous day and 11 yuan (0.34%) from the previous week [2]. - Operation Suggestion: Maintain a wait - and - see attitude, do not chase up or sell down. Wait patiently for the price to stabilize and then go long on dips. It is a medium - term trading strategy. Do not short when the price is low [2]. 3.2 Iron Ore - Supply and Demand: The molten iron production of sample steel mills increased month - on - month last week, but the output of the five major steel products continued to decline. With the arrival of the consumption off - season, the molten iron production is expected to decline seasonally. The global shipments have decreased from their highs, and it is expected that the arrival volume will decline later. The continuous increase in port inventory suppresses the futures price, and the slow destocking of steel dampens the market sentiment [3]. - Price Data: The settlement price of the DCE iron ore main contract was 772.5 yuan/dry ton, up 12.0 yuan (1.58%) from the previous week. The SGX iron ore continuous - one settlement price was 102.59 US dollars/dry ton, down 0.93 US dollars (-0.90%) from the previous week [3]. - Operation Suggestion: Maintain a wait - and - see attitude, and patiently wait for the price to stabilize and then go long on dips [3]. 3.3 Industry News - As of November 14, according to Zhonglian Steel's research, the change in the national blast furnace start - up rate was small.
