现实预期博弈，盘?趋势并不明显

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "Oscillation" [5] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The weakening expectation of Fed rate cuts and the strong atmosphere of stagflation trading. Although steel inventories have peaked and declined, the expectation for the peak season is cautious, and there is still inventory pressure in the industrial chain. The fundamentals have limited highlights, and the upward driving force for the market is insufficient. However, due to intensified geopolitical risks, the prices of coking coal and coke fluctuate more in line with crude oil, there are continuous disturbances on the supply side of iron ore, the liquidity of some spot varieties is expected to tighten, and there is still an upward expectation for hot metal production, so the cost side still has support. It is necessary to continue to pay attention to the disturbances from the geopolitical end and the iron ore supply side [1] - Overall, the expectation for the peak season is cautious, and the upward driving force from the real - end remains to be verified. Currently, there are still uncertainties in domestic and overseas macro - expectations and geopolitical disturbances. If geopolitical conflicts continue, price support will be strong; if they ease, prices may face a correction [5] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - Iron Ore: In the short term, it is difficult to price the fundamentals of iron ore due to continuous supply - side and geopolitical disturbances, and it is expected to oscillate. In the medium to long term, the high - inventory pressure of iron ore is difficult to ease, and the overall pattern remains loose. If macro disturbances weaken, the fundamental pressure on iron ore will be large, and it is expected to oscillate weakly in the medium term [1] - Scrap Steel: In the short term, the recovery rhythm of short - process demand is slightly faster than that of supply, and the fundamentals support the price. Recently, the spot performance of finished products has been relatively good, and it is expected to operate in an oscillatory manner in the short term. In the future, it is necessary to focus on the actual recovery progress of terminal demand [9] 3.2 Carbon Element - Coke: In the short term, both supply and demand of coke are increasing, the resumption speed of hot metal may be faster, and the cost - side price of the spot has increased, so the spot support for coke is strong. The market is expected to follow the cost - side coking coal [2] - Coking Coal: The resumption of coal mines is still restricted, but there is still real - world pressure on the fundamentals of coking coal due to high imports from Mongolia. It is less likely for the spot price to rise sharply. The current market price is more affected by domestic and overseas macro - expectations and geopolitical conflicts. If the geopolitical conflicts continue, it may follow the strong performance of crude oil prices; if they ease, it is expected to operate in an oscillatory manner [2] 3.3 Alloys - Silicomanganese: The supply - demand relaxation state of the silicomanganese market is difficult to reverse, the upstream inventory remains high, there is resistance to cost downward transmission, and there is obvious selling - hedging pressure above the market. The current market valuation is still at a relatively high level, and the futures price is at risk of correction [2][16] - Ferrosilicon: Although the market inventory pressure is limited and the supply - demand contradiction is not significant, the continuous repair of profits may accelerate the resumption progress of manufacturers, making the supply - demand relationship gradually turn to relaxation and suppressing the upward space of prices. The current market valuation of ferrosilicon is still much higher than the comprehensive cost, and the futures price is at risk of a high - level correction [2][17] 3.4 Glass and Soda Ash - Glass: There are still expectations of supply disturbances, but the inventories of the mid - and downstream are moderately high. From the perspective of fundamentals, the current supply - demand is still in surplus. If the production and sales cannot improve continuously, the high inventory will always suppress the price [2] - Soda Ash: The supply is stable at a high level in the short term, and the overall supply - demand is still in surplus. It is expected to mainly oscillate in the short term. In the long run, the supply - surplus pattern will further intensify, the price center will continue to decline, and capacity reduction will be promoted [2] 3.5 Specific Product Analysis - Steel: The inventory has peaked and declined, but there are few highlights. The cost side still has some support, but the current steel inventory is high, and the expectation for the peak season is still cautious, so the upward driving force for prices is limited [7] - Iron Ore: The hot metal has recovered month - on - month, and port inventories have declined. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate; in the medium term, it is expected to oscillate weakly [7] - Scrap Steel: The daily consumption continues to rise, and the spot price has increased slightly. It is expected to operate in an oscillatory manner in the short term [9] - Coke: Both supply and demand have increased, and coke enterprises have slightly reduced their inventories. The market is expected to follow coking coal [10][11] - Coking Coal: Downstream procurement is strong, and coal mines continue to reduce their inventories. The spot price is less likely to rise sharply. If the geopolitical conflict continues, it may follow the strong performance of crude oil prices; if it eases, it is expected to operate in an oscillatory manner [12] - Glass: Supply cuts continue, and the upstream has slightly reduced its inventory. It is expected to operate in an oscillatory manner in the short term [13] - Soda Ash: Maintenance has affected production decline, and the supply - demand is still in surplus. It is expected to oscillate in the short term, and the supply - surplus pattern will intensify in the long term [15] - Silicomanganese: The cost is operating firmly, and the market is under pressure above. The market is in a supply - demand relaxation state, and the futures price is at risk of correction [16] - Ferrosilicon: There is insufficient supply - demand driving force, and the market valuation is high. The supply - demand relationship may turn to relaxation, and the futures price is at risk of a high - level correction [17] 3.6 Index Information - Comprehensive Index: The commodity index was 2569.19, down 0.50%; the commodity 20 index was 2885.41, down 1.06%; the industrial products index was 2567.44, up 0.39% [101] - Steel Industry Chain Index: On March 19, 2026, the daily decline was 0.47%, the decline in the past 5 days was 0.58%, the increase in the past month was 3.85%, and the increase since the beginning of the year was 1.32% [103]
