Report Industry Investment Ratings - Thread: ☆☆☆ [1] - Hot Rolled Coil: ☆☆☆ [1] - Iron Ore: ☆☆☆ [1] - Coke: ★☆☆ [1] - Coking Coal: ★☆☆ [1] - Silicomanganese: ★☆☆ [1] - Ferrosilicon: ★☆☆ [1] Core Views - The steel market shows a pattern of overall range - bound fluctuations, with policy expectations providing support but weak demand restricting the upside [2]. - The iron ore market is expected to be mainly range - bound, with its fundamentals becoming marginally looser [3]. - The coke and coking coal markets are likely to experience weak - side oscillations [4][6]. - The silicomanganese and ferrosilicon markets are in a state of oscillation, with the bottom - support expectations for silicomanganese shifting downward and the bottom - support strength of ferrosilicon facing a test [7][8]. Summary by Commodity Steel - The steel futures market rebounded today. Thread apparent demand improved, production increased, and inventory continued to decline. Hot - rolled coil demand recovered, production rose slightly, and inventory started to fall. Steel mills are in a loss state, and there is a high possibility of further blast - furnace production cuts. The overall domestic demand is weak, and steel exports have declined from their highs. Policy expectations support the market, but weak demand restricts the upside [2]. Iron Ore - The iron ore futures market showed a strong - side oscillation today, and the basis has weakened recently. Global iron ore shipments decreased significantly compared to the previous period but are still stronger than the same period last year. Shipments from Australia and Brazil decreased, with a relatively larger drop in Australia and its shipments to China. Shipments from non - mainstream countries remained high. The domestic arrival volume rebounded to a high for the year, and port inventory continued to accumulate. Iron ore fundamentals are becoming marginally looser, and the market is expected to be range - bound [3]. Coke - The coke price oscillated during the day. Coking profits are average, and daily production has been slightly decreasing. Coke inventory increased slightly, with downstream procurement on an as - needed basis and little change in inventory. Traders' purchasing willingness is average. The supply of carbon elements is abundant, and downstream hot - metal production is still at a high level, but inventory has decreased slightly. The total coking - coal inventory decreased slightly compared to the previous period, and production - end inventory decreased slightly. The coke futures price is at a premium, and the price is likely to oscillate weakly [4]. Coking Coal - The coking - coal price oscillated weakly during the day. Coking - coal mine production decreased slightly, spot auction transactions were average, and transaction prices mainly declined. The supply of carbon elements is abundant, and downstream hot - metal production is still at a high level, but inventory has decreased slightly. The total coking - coal inventory decreased slightly compared to the previous period, and production - end inventory decreased slightly. The coking - coal futures price is at a discount to Mongolian coal, and the price is likely to oscillate weakly [6]. Silicomanganese - The silicomanganese price oscillated during the day. The market's expectation of coal - mine supply guarantee has increased, leading to an expected decline in power costs and chemical - coke prices. On the demand side, hot - metal production has rebounded to a high level. Silicomanganese weekly production decreased slightly but is still at a relatively high level, and inventory is slowly increasing. Spot manganese - ore prices showed mixed trends, with high - grade oxidized ore rising slightly and semi - carbonate ore falling slightly. Manganese - ore inventory increased slightly, and the contradiction is not prominent. The expected bottom - support level has shifted downward [7]. Ferrosilicon - The ferrosilicon price oscillated during the day. The market's expectation of coal - mine supply guarantee has increased, leading to an expected decline in power costs and blue - charcoal prices. On the demand side, hot - metal production has rebounded to a high level. Export demand has declined to above 20,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal has increased month - on - month, and secondary demand has increased marginally. Overall demand still has resilience. Ferrosilicon supply remains at a high level, and the bottom - support strength will be tested [8].
