Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating Core Viewpoints - The main contract price of rebar oscillated with a daily decline of 0.48%, showing increased volume and decreased positions. Currently, rebar supply is rising while demand is weak, with the fundamentals seasonally weakening. Steel prices in the off - season are under pressure, but cost support is a positive factor. It is expected that the steel price will continue to oscillate at a low level, and attention should be paid to steel mill production [5]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated weakly with a daily decline of 0.52%, also showing increased volume and decreased positions. Currently, the demand for hot - rolled coil is good, improving the supply - demand pattern and supporting prices. However, the demand's resilience is questionable, and the inventory level is high, so the upward driving force is expected to be weak. Its subsequent trend will mainly be oscillatory, and attention should be paid to steel mill production [5]. - The main contract price of iron ore oscillated with a daily decline of 0.57%, showing decreased volume and positions. Currently, positive factors have supported the iron ore price to return to a high level, but the demand for ore is weakening while supply remains high, with the fundamentals continuously weakening and the upward driving force being weak. Under the game of multiple and short - selling factors, the ore price will maintain a high - level oscillatory trend, and attention should be paid to post - holiday steel mill restocking [5].
