Quantitative Models and Construction Methods GAN_GRU Model - **Model Name**: GAN_GRU - **Model Construction Idea**: The GAN_GRU model utilizes Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for processing volume-price time series features and then uses the GRU model for time series feature encoding to derive the stock selection factor[2][9]. - **Model Construction Process**: 1. **GRU Model**: - **Basic Assumptions**: The GRU+MLP neural network stock return prediction model includes 18 volume-price features such as closing price, opening price, trading volume, turnover rate, etc[10][13][15]. - **Training Data and Input Features**: All stocks' past 400 days of 18 volume-price features, sampled every 5 trading days. The feature sampling shape is 40*18, using the past 40 days of volume-price features to predict the cumulative return of the next 20 trading days[14]. - **Training and Validation Set Ratio**: 80%:20%[14]. - **Data Processing**: Extreme value removal and standardization in the time series for each feature within the 40 days, and cross-sectional standardization at the stock level[14]. - **Model Training Method**: Semi-annual rolling training, i.e., training the model every six months and using it to predict the returns for the next six months. Training dates are June 30 and December 31 each year[14]. - **Stock Selection Method**: Select all stocks in the cross-section, excluding ST and stocks listed for less than six months[14]. - **Training Sample Selection Method**: Exclude samples with empty labels[14]. - **Hyperparameters**: batch_size is the number of stocks in the cross-section, optimizer Adam, learning rate 1e-4, loss function IC, early stopping rounds 10, maximum training rounds 50[14]. - **Model Structure**: Two GRU layers (GRU(128, 128)) followed by MLP layers (256, 64, 64). The final output predicted return pRet is used as the stock selection factor[18]. 2. **GAN Model**: - **Introduction**: GANs consist of a generator and a discriminator. The generator aims to generate realistic data, while the discriminator aims to distinguish between real and generated data[19]. - **Generator**: - **Loss Function**: $$L_{G}\,=\,-\mathbb{E}_{z\sim P_{z}(z)}[\log(D(G(z)))]$$ where \(z\) represents random noise (usually Gaussian distributed), \(G(z)\) represents the data generated by the generator, and \(D(G(z))\) represents the probability that the discriminator judges the generated data as real[20][21]. - **Training Process**: Generate noise data, convert noise data to generated data using the generator, calculate generator loss, and update generator parameters through backpropagation[21][22]. - **Discriminator**: - **Loss Function**: $$L_{D}=-\mathbb{E}_{x\sim P_{d a t a}(x)}[\log\!D(x)]-\mathbb{E}_{z\sim P_{z}(z)}[\log(1-D(G(z)))]$$ where \(x\) is real data, \(D(x)\) is the probability that the discriminator judges the real data as real, and \(D(G(z))\) is the probability that the discriminator judges the generated data as real[23]. - **Training Process**: Sample real data, generate fake data, calculate discriminator loss, and update discriminator parameters through backpropagation[24][25]. - **GAN Training Process**: Alternately train the generator and discriminator until convergence[25][26]. 3. **GAN Feature Generation Model Construction**: - **LSTM Generator + CNN Discriminator**: To retain the time series nature of the input features, the LSTM model is used as the generator. The CNN model is used as the discriminator to match the two-dimensional volume-price time series features[29][30][33]. - **Feature Generation Process**: Input original volume-price time series features (Input_Shape=(40,18)), output volume-price time series features processed by LSTM (Input_Shape=(40,18))[33]. Model Evaluation - **Evaluation**: The GAN_GRU model effectively combines GAN and GRU to process and encode volume-price time series features, providing a robust stock selection factor[2][9].

Report Information - Report Type: Coke and Coking Coal Daily Review [1] - Date: April 30, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Metal Research Team [3] - Researchers: Zhai Hepan, Nie Jiayi, Feng Zeren [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - On April 29, the coke futures main contract 2509 saw its center of gravity decline for three consecutive trading days, giving back most of the gains since April 23. The coking coal futures main contract 2509 weakened again, approaching the previous low of 924 yuan/ton set on April 22 [7]. - It is expected that in the first half of May, the coke and coking coal markets will stabilize and rebound after a second bottom - testing. One can try to sell out - of - the - money put options at high prices during the above time period when the technical and fundamental aspects resonate, or try to buy the far - month 2509 contract for hedging or investment at low prices after the coal and coke prices stabilize [11]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Outlook 3.1.1 Spot Market Dynamics and Technical Analysis - On April 29, the KDJ indicators of the daily lines of both the coke and coking coal 2509 contracts showed a golden cross. The MACD red bar of the daily line of the coke 2509 contract narrowed for two consecutive trading days, and the MACD red bar of the daily line of the coking coal 2509 contract turned to a slight narrowing [10]. - The prices of quasi - first - grade metallurgical coke at Rizhao Port, Qingdao Port, and Tianjin Port remained unchanged at 1440 yuan/ton, and the price in Tangshan was 1370 yuan/ton with no change. The price of low - sulfur main coking coal in Lvliang decreased by 10 yuan/ton to 1300 yuan/ton, while the prices in other regions remained stable [10]. 3.1.2 Outlook - Coke: Downstream steel mills' production has further increased, and coking plants have significantly increased production for six consecutive weeks. After the inventories of steel mills and coking plants decreased significantly, they turned to a slight increase, while the port inventory declined from a high level. The coke price rebound requires the improvement of the finished steel market. It is expected that the coke market may improve following the finished steel in the first half of May [11]. - Coking Coal: In March, imports increased from the previous high, but the growth rate slowed down compared to January - February. The domestic coal industry still emphasizes the principle of ensuring supply. Although the output and operating rate of coal washing plants are significantly lower than those in the fourth quarter of last year, the supply remains loose. The significant decline in port inventory is positive, but the decline in steel mill inventory is not large. After coking plants actively replenish inventory, it will discount the subsequent price rebound. Whether the decline of coking coal can stop depends on whether the coke market can truly recover in the first half of May [11]. 3.2 Industry News - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued a notice on accelerating the construction of the power spot market, with specific requirements for different regions' power spot markets to enter formal operation or start continuous settlement trial operation [12]. - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Basic Rules for the Power Auxiliary Service Market", requiring relevant departments to formulate and revise implementation rules for the auxiliary service market [12]. - As of the end of March 2025, the national local government debt balance was 5.0165 trillion yuan.
