Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The steel industry has minor contradictions, and attention should be paid to basis opportunities. The silicon - iron and manganese - silicon market lacks drivers and shows a volatile trend. The first round of coke price increase suspension has little impact, and it may still have a chance to be implemented this week. Iron ore prices mainly fluctuate, and short - term overall fluctuations are limited [2][3][6][7] Summary by Category Steel - On Monday, the spot and futures prices fluctuated, and spot trading was light. Although last week's weekly data from Steelhome improved, there was a difference from the spot market perception. Building material demand is expected to decline seasonally in the next two weeks, providing limited support for the market. During the off - season around the Spring Festival, there is no significant selling pressure on prices. At the current valuation, steel mills have profits and a willingness to resume production, while traders are reluctant to conduct open - position winter storage and prefer basis trading. In the future, the probability of an increase in hot metal production is high, and there is support at low price levels. Market funds are abundant, but confidence is cautious. Hot - rolled coil futures and spot arbitrage should be rolled [2] - Adopt a unilateral range - bound trading strategy for steel: conduct rolling operations for hot - rolled coil futures and spot positive arbitrage, or use option strategies to assist spot trading [8] Silicon - iron and Manganese - silicon - Recently, there is a lack of drivers, and the prices of silicon - iron and manganese - silicon are volatile. On the demand side, as steel prices are under pressure, steel mill profits are poor, and there is great pressure to adjust hot metal production downward, resulting in weak direct demand. In the off - season of terminal demand, overall demand is difficult to improve for the time being. On the supply side, although alloy plants' profits are generally poor, production remains high, and the medium - term supply surplus pressure persists. Macro - policies are mainly favorable, and industrial policies have an impact on supply and cost support expectations. Overall, the fundamentals of silicon - iron and manganese - silicon are under pressure, and there is a high risk of a decline in the future. Industrial customers should conduct hedging when prices are high [3][5][8] Coking Coal and Coke - The first round of coke price increase has been put on hold, and market gaming continues. Coking coal online auctions are performing well, with a low overall non - trading rate and rising transaction prices. In the futures market, the black sector has followed the broader market to rise and then fall. In the off - season, there is no excessive selling pressure on the spot market. Coal mine supply continues to recover, and coal mine inventories are decreasing as downstream enterprises start to replenish stocks. In the short term, pre - Spring Festival inventory replenishment will support spot prices. Although the steel market feels weak in the off - season, there is little selling pressure. The suspension of the first round of coke price increase has little impact, and it may still have a chance to be implemented this week under the influence of snow and rain in the production areas. Adopt a strategy of buying on dips [6][8] Iron Ore - The steel mill accident over the weekend may lead to safety inspections or production suspension and rectification of the steel mill, which will have a significant impact on hot metal production for a long time. After the accident, it is more certain that the current valuation of iron ore is moderately high. Fundamentally, due to supply - demand factors, iron ore port inventories continue to rise, and there is clear upward pressure on ore prices. Recently, the apparent demand for steel has slightly declined, and the total steel inventory is still in a destocking state, with downstream data being neutral. The contradiction of iron elements is still accumulating, and short - term fluctuations are limited. Wait for a rebound and then look for opportunities to enter short positions [7]
