黑色建材日报：市场情绪高涨，煤焦低位反弹-20260130

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Core Views - The overall market sentiment is high, with coal and coke rebounding from low levels. Steel, iron ore, coking coal, and coke prices have all shown certain trends, and the market is affected by factors such as supply and demand, cost, and seasonal factors [1][2][6]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Market Analysis: The futures market of steel was generally strong yesterday. The main contract of rebar futures closed at 3,157 yuan/ton, up 1.09%, and the main contract of hot-rolled coil closed at 3,308 yuan/ton, up 0.85%. The spot market had average to good transactions, mainly in futures-spot trading, while rigid demand purchases were weak, and prices rose following the futures market. The national building materials trading volume was 72,915 [1]. - Supply and Demand Logic: In the off-season, the overall contradiction in the steel market is limited, and production remains rigid. In terms of demand, as the Spring Festival approaches, the digestion speed of building materials in the market slows down, and the purchasing sentiment is weak, which significantly suppresses the demand for rebar. The demand for hot-rolled coils on the plate side is relatively stable, but the purchasing sentiment of downstream manufacturers is also cautious, and the actual driving effect on the demand for hot-rolled coils is limited. On the cost side, the warming sentiment of coal and coke has injected positive sentiment into the steel market, making the commodity sentiment warm up [1]. - Strategy: The unilateral strategy is to expect a volatile market, and there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, futures - spot, and options trading [2]. Iron Ore - Market Analysis: The futures price of iron ore was strong yesterday. In the spot market, the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties at Tangshan Port were strong. Traders' enthusiasm for quoting was average, and steel mills' purchases were mainly for rigid demand. The current spot market transactions were cold. The cumulative transaction volume of iron ore at major ports nationwide was 865,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 3.57%. The cumulative transaction volume of forward - looking spot was 1.33 million tons (9 transactions), a month - on - month increase of 12.71% (including 820,000 tons of mine sales). The average daily hot metal output of 247 steel mills this week was 2.2798 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 120,000 tons. The total inventory of iron ore at 45 ports this period was 170.22 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.5% [2]. - Supply and Demand Logic: In terms of supply, high valuations stimulate shipments, and the supply release is relatively sufficient. In terms of demand, the profitability of steel mills has recovered in the short term, but the average daily hot metal output has decreased slightly this week. In terms of inventory, the port inventory has continued to hit new highs this week, but the liquidity of some port supplies has been locked, and the steel mills' inventory is still at a low level compared to the same period. Currently, the supply - demand contradiction of iron ore continues to intensify. With high global shipments at high valuations and the locking of the liquidity of some port supplies, the actual fundamentals of iron ore are better than the statistical data. High ore prices stimulate supply release. If the factors locking the liquidity are removed later, the port supplies will form a supply shock, so there is uncertainty in the long - term iron ore market. In the short term, steel mills are in the second half of the winter storage replenishment period, and it is expected that the support for raw material prices will gradually weaken, and the iron ore price will maintain a volatile operation. Later, attention should be paid to the progress of subsequent iron ore negotiations and the replenishment situation of steel mills [3]. - Strategy: The unilateral strategy is to short on rallies. There are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, futures - spot, and options trading [4]. Coking Coal and Coke - Market Analysis: The futures prices of coking coal and coke rose significantly yesterday. For coke, steel mills fully implemented the first - round price increase, with an increase of 50 - 55 yuan/ton. Recently, some coking plants in the northern region have been affected by environmental protection again, and their production has been restricted. For coking coal, the prices in the main production areas are strong. For imported Mongolian coal, the quotation of Mongolian coal is weakly stable, and the long - term contract price of Mongolian No. 5 raw coal is mostly around 1,000 - 1,020 yuan/ton [6]. - Supply and Demand Logic: For coke, the first - round price increase by steel mills has been implemented. Affected by environmental protection, the supply has tightened, and the pre - holiday replenishment is approaching the end. Generally speaking, the fundamentals of coke are relatively balanced. For coking coal, the production of clean coal has increased and the inventory has decreased, and the clean coal inventory is at a low level compared to the same period. As the Spring Festival approaches, there is an expectation of a marginal weakening of the short - term supply of coal. Coupled with the rebound of thermal coal prices, it provides support for coking coal prices. Later, attention should be paid to the profitability and replenishment actions of steel mills, and the market will continue to be volatile in the short term [6]. - Strategy: The strategy for coking coal and coke is to expect a volatile market. There are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, futures - spot, and options trading [6]. Thermal Coal - Market Analysis: In the origin, the number of coal mines that have stopped production after completing their monthly tasks in the main production areas has increased, and the supply has continued to shrink. The coal prices in the "Three Western" regions have generally shown an upward trend. The increase in the external purchase price of large groups has directly boosted the market sentiment. In addition, as the Spring Festival approaches, the replenishment demand of some terminals and platforms has been released, the number of coal - pulling trucks at some coal mines has increased, and the prices have risen slightly. Mine operators are mostly concerned about the future port trends and supply - demand changes. At the port, affected by the shrinkage of supply at the origin, the port shipping has been in a reverse situation. In addition, the current daily consumption has not decreased, and the port quotations have been firm. However, the downstream inquiries are few, and there is obvious resistance to high - priced coal, so the actual port transactions are few. Some people believe that the current upstream shipping is less, and it is difficult to replenish the stock after shipment. Coupled with the high daily consumption of power plants, they are continuously optimistic. However, it should be noted that the downstream demand has not been substantially improved, so some traders believe that it is not appropriate to be overly optimistic at present and should remain cautious. In the import market, the imported coal market has been affected by domestic factors and extreme weather in Indonesia, resulting in less arrival of resources and firm quotations [6]. - Supply and Demand Logic: Recently, some coal mines have stopped production after completing their monthly tasks, and the price has continued to rise under the shrinkage of supply. Moreover, the recent cold wave has led to a surge in downstream daily consumption, and it is expected that the coal price will stabilize this week. In the long - term, attention should be paid to the changes in the supply pattern and the consumption and replenishment of non - power coal [7]. - Strategy: No strategy is provided [7].
