Group 1: Report Information - Report Title: Black Metal Daily Report, December 30, 2025 [1] - Researcher: Qi Chunyi [2] - Futures Practitioner Certificate Number: F03113636 [2] - Investment Consulting Certificate Number: Z0018817 [2] Group 2: Market Information - Spot Prices: Shanghai Zhongtian Rebar 3300 yuan (-), Beijing Jingye 3150 yuan (-), Shanghai Angang Hot Rolled Coil 3280 yuan (-), Tianjin Hegang Hot Rolled Coil 3190 yuan (+10) [4] Group 3: Market Analysis - Core View: Steel prices are still in a volatile trend. The decline in the steel futures market today is due to the stabilization of thermal coal prices, which has led to the continued rise of coking coal and coke. The overall spot trading volume of steel is generally weak, with mainly rigid demand for low-priced purchases. Last week, the output of the five major steel products continued to decrease, but the rate of decline slowed down. Due to the improvement of profit levels, both rebar and hot-rolled coils increased production. The total steel inventory is accelerating its decline, with the decline rate of social inventory faster than that of factory inventory. Steel is still in the inventory reduction cycle. Affected by the season, the apparent demand for building materials has weakened, while the apparent demand for hot-rolled coils is still increasing due to the year-end replenishment of home appliance enterprises and the export impulse. The overall steel demand in December is still acceptable. On the raw material side, the supply of coal mines has increased slightly, but prices have stabilized. The structural shortage of PB fines has not been resolved, and the loss of import profit supports the iron ore price. There is support for steel costs, and molten iron may turn to resume production at the end of the month. Recently, the trading logic of iron ore has shifted to inventory replenishment. Thermal coal prices have stabilized, but the subsequent increase in steel supply will suppress the upward space for steel prices [5]. Group 4: Trading Strategies - Unilateral: The upward trend has slowed down, and the price will maintain a range-bound trend [6] - Arbitrage: It is recommended to short the hot-rolled coil/thermal coal ratio on rallies, and continue to hold the short position on the hot-rolled coil/rebar spread [7] - Options: It is recommended to wait and see [8] Group 5: Important Information - Tariff Adjustment: Starting from January 1, 2026, the import tariff rates and tariff items of some commodities will be adjusted, which will change the import and export profits of some steel products [9] - Anti-dumping Ruling: On December 27, 2025, the Turkish Ministry of Trade issued Announcement No. 2025/44, making a positive final anti-dumping ruling on cold-rolled stainless steel coils originating from China, and deciding to impose an anti-dumping duty of 3.95% on the CIF price of the Chinese products involved. At the same time, a negative final ruling was made on the products from Indonesia, and no anti-dumping measures will be implemented against Indonesia. The measures will take effect from the date of the announcement and will be valid for five years [10] Group 6: Related Attachments - The report includes 31 figures showing various data related to rebar and hot-rolled coils, such as price trends, basis, spreads, and profit margins from 2021 - 2026 [11][14][16][20][21][22][27][29][31][33][36][40][45][47][49]
