The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.29% to 4114 points. The trading volume was 2.73 trillion yuan, down from 3.06 trillion yuan the previous day. If the recent trend does not form a reverse - enveloping negative line with increased volume, the stock index may enter an adjustment phase [10]. 3.2.2 Bond Futures - The money market is balanced and slightly loose near the tax payment period. The short - end is supported by the money market, while the ultra - long - end is weak. After the structural interest - rate cut, the short - term possibility of an interest - rate cut has decreased significantly, but the long - term easing expectation has been repaired. It is recommended to adopt an oscillating strategy [11][12]. 3.3 Black 3.3.1 Steel and Iron Ore - From a policy perspective, macro - policies such as interest - rate cuts are slightly positive, but have limited short - term impact on demand. From a fundamental perspective, steel is in a de - stocking state, and the current order situation is okay. However, downstream demand is still weak. Iron ore supply is abundant, and the market is relatively loose. In general, steel may oscillate and consolidate in the short term, while iron ore is relatively weak [13]. 3.3.2 Coking Coal and Coke - Recently, coal mine production has increased slightly, and Mongolian coal customs clearance has increased. Mainstream coking enterprises have initiated the first round of price increases, but steel mills are resistant.

The main reasons for the price decline are the expectation of inventory accumulation, weak demand, and the fading of macro - positive factors [20][21]. 3.4.2 Lead - As of January 19, the social inventory of lead ingots rose to a nearly two - month high. It is recommended to wait and see. The weak consumption and the increase in inventory due to transportation problems are the main factors affecting the price [21][23]. 3.4.3 Lithium Carbonate - Under strong supervision, the market sentiment has declined, and lithium carbonate is expected to operate in a weak oscillating state in the short term. The market needs data to verify the actual demand and guide the price [24]. 3.4.4 Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - Industrial silicon may oscillate with an upper - bound pressure. Polysilicon may oscillate weakly, and the improvement measures on January 20 should be awaited [25]. 3.5 Agricultural Products 3.5.1 Cotton - The short - term supply of cotton is loose, but the long - term supply is expected to shrink. The contradiction between pre - festival replenishment and the decline in production start - up has led to a short - term consolidation of Zheng cotton. Short - term trading is recommended [28]. 3.5.2 Sugar - The domestic sugar market is in a season of strong supply and demand. Zheng sugar is oscillating and consolidating, and short - term trading in the low - price range is recommended [30]. 3.5.3 Eggs - As the Spring Festival approaches, the egg - stocking intensity may peak and then weaken, and the pre - festival spot price may weaken. The 02 - 03 contracts should be considered from an oscillating perspective. The far - month contracts may be expected to weaken due to the increase in replenishment enthusiasm [32]. 3.5.4 Apples - The apple futures market may be strong.

The Iranian situation needs to be closely monitored [41]. 3.6.2 Plastics - Polyolefins have a large supply pressure and weak downstream demand. It is recommended to consider a weak oscillating strategy and beware of callback risks [42]. 3.6.3 Rubber - Affected by the decline in overseas raw material prices and inventory accumulation, the rubber market has weakened. However, pre - festival downstream replenishment and the approaching of the overseas production area's shutdown season may support the market. It is advisable to sell out - of - the - money put options on dips [42]. 3.6.4 Synthetic Rubber - Synthetic rubber may turn weak in the short term. It is advisable to stop losses and wait and see when the short - selling price drops to a low level [43]. 3.6.5 Methanol - The actual supply - demand situation of methanol has improved slightly, and short - term de - stocking is smooth. However, there is still a possibility of inventory accumulation at the end of the month. In the long term, the fundamentals are improving. It is advisable to wait for the far - month contracts to adjust and then consider long positions [43][44]. 3.6.6 Caustic Soda - The caustic soda industry has a high start - up rate and high inventory. The price of liquid chlorine is strong, and the comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali enterprises is okay, so there is no motivation to cut production. It is recommended to consider a short - selling strategy [45]. 3.6.7 Polyester Industry Chain - The polyester industry chain is under pressure due to the weakening demand. In the short term, short - selling on rallies can be considered, and in the medium term, positive spreads between May and September contracts of PX and PTA can be considered [46]. 3.6.8 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - LPG has fallen after rising, affected by the easing of crude oil and geopolitical conflicts, but the price center has still moved up. In the short term, it has upward momentum, but the long - term upside space is limited. Light - position short - selling can be considered [47]. 3.6.9 Pulp - As downstream replenishment ends, the pulp market has weakened. However, the strong overseas prices and the relatively stable fundamentals provide support. The market is expected to oscillate [50]. 3.6.10 Logs - The fundamentals of logs are weakly oscillating, and the spot price is temporarily stable. The market is expected to maintain a weak supply - demand balance, and the futures market is expected to oscillate [51]. 3.6.11 Urea - In the short term, the spot market for urea has weakened, but the futures market still has strong expectations. The futures may trade the expectation of strong demand after a correction [52].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views 2.1 Coking Coal - In 2025, China's cumulative raw coal production from January to October was 3.97 billion tons, with coking coal production at about 397 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 1.16%. The annual production was high in the first half and low in the second half. In 2026, domestic coking coal production is expected to have a ceiling, with an estimated output of about 479 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.6%. From January to October 2025, coking coal imports were 94.12 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 5%. In 2026, imports are expected to rise slightly, mainly due to an increase in Mongolian coal, while US coal imports may remain at 0 due to tariffs. The estimated import volume in 2026 is 114 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.8% [3]. - In 2025, domestic coking coal consumption is expected to be about 597 million tons, a year - on - year increase of about 1.9%. In 2026, steel demand and supply are not expected to change significantly, and coking coal demand will lack drivers. The estimated consumption in 2026 is 595 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.6% [3]. - In 2025, the coking coal inventory structure changed significantly. In the first half, inventory accumulated upstream, while in the second half, it shifted from upstream to mid - and downstream, showing a de - stocking pattern throughout the year. In 2026, coking coal consumption may not have strong drivers, domestic supply is expected to increase slightly, and the focus for imports is on the increase in Mongolian coal. The total supply is expected to increase by about 4 million tons, and the demand is difficult to absorb, resulting in a supply - demand surplus. However, supply policies will provide a bottom - support, and the price floor is expected to rise [3]. 2.2 Coke - From January to October 2025, China's cumulative coke production was 419 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 3.3%. In 2026, coke production is expected to decrease by about 3 million tons, with a cumulative output of 494 million tons and an actual supply of 410 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year decrease of 0.6% [4]. - From January to October 2025, the average daily hot metal production of 247 steel mills increased by 3.3% year - on - year. In 2025, domestic coke consumption is expected to be about 399 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.2%. In 2026, steel supply and demand have no strong drivers, and pig iron production is expected to be flat year - on - year, so domestic coke consumption will remain at 399 million tons. In terms of exports, China's coke has a price advantage, but the increase in Indonesia's production and exports has an impact. In 2026, coke exports are estimated to drop to about 7.5 million tons [4]. - In 2025, the coke inventory structure was similar to that of coking coal. In the first half, coke enterprises had high inventory pressure, and in the second half, upstream inventory shifted downstream, showing a de - stocking pattern. In 2026, there will still be surplus pressure, and inventory is expected to accumulate slightly. Overall, coke prices mainly follow coking coal. In 2026, considering semi - coke and losses, the actual supply growth rate is expected to be about - 0.6%, and total demand will be flat or slightly lower than this year, still showing a supply - demand surplus. Future attention should be paid to changes in coal cost and macro - policies [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Double - Coking Market Review - In 2025, the double - coking futures market fluctuated greatly. In the first quarter, the market expected an oversupply of domestic coal mines and weak demand, causing the futures price to decline. In the second quarter, macro - tariff shocks and the lack of production cuts by coal enterprises led to a bear - dominated market. In June, the market rebounded due to overcrowded short positions and low valuations. In July, the anti - involution policy was implemented, and coking coal prices strengthened significantly. From August to October, coking coal prices fluctuated widely at a high level under the support of over - production inspections. From November to December, the market weakened again due to an increase in Mongolian coal imports and early winter stockpiling [7]. 3.2 Coking Coal 3.2.1 Spot and Price - Coking coal spot prices first declined and then rose. In the first half, they declined in tandem with the futures market, bottomed out in late June, and rebounded in July. After September, the spot market tightened, and some coking coal varieties faced structural shortages. The strong thermal coal market also provided support, making the coking coal spot market firm [15]. - The price of Mongolian No. 5 coking coal fluctuated greatly throughout the year. It dropped to a low of 700 yuan/ton in the first half and then increased due to a decrease in its proportion in customs clearance, reaching a high of 1170 yuan/ton at the end of October. The long - term contract price in Q4 was 57.3 US dollars/ton, 3 US dollars higher than Q3, and is expected to increase slightly in Q1 2026. The price of imported seaborne coal fluctuated within a relatively small range, and it became cost - effective after the domestic coal price bottomed out in the middle of the year [22]. 3.2.2 Policy and Market Impact - In July 2025, the National Energy Administration launched over - production inspections, which made the market shift its expectation of coal supply to "over - production inspection." Coking coal became a benchmark for the "anti - involution" of the black industry, and actual production shrank in the second half of the year. In November, the National Development and Reform Commission emphasized energy supply during the heating season, and the policy focus was adjusted temporarily. In the long term, "anti - involution + over - production inspection" will continue to have an impact [23]. - In 2021, after coal prices reached a historical high, the profit of the black industry chain gradually shifted to raw materials, promoting investment and a new capacity - expansion cycle in the coal industry. In recent years, coal industry profits have declined year by year, and new capacity has decreased significantly compared with 2021 - 2023. Currently, the coal industry may be at the end of the capacity - expansion cycle [26]. - In June 2025, coal prices dropped below the cost. Some coal mines adopted a "quantity - for - price" strategy and even over - produced, disrupting the market order. The "over - production inspection" policy ended this vicious cycle and promoted the coal industry to control capacity and production, moving towards high - quality supply [30]. 3.2.3 Production - According to the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to October 2025, the production of above - scale industrial raw coal was 3.97 billion tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.5%. Production was high in the first half, but "anti - involution + over - production inspection" policies took effect in the second half, and production decreased year - on - year from July [31]. - By province, from January to October 2025, Shanxi's cumulative raw coal production was 1.08 billion tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 3.9%, providing the largest increase in coal production this year. The production of Shanxi, Xinjiang, and Shaanxi increased steadily, while Inner Mongolia's production declined due to environmental protection and capacity integration. In 2026, Xinjiang may be the main area for production growth, and the growth rate of raw coal production may decline under the over - production inspection policy [34]. - Coking coal production was high in the first half and low in the second half of 2025. There were few supply disruptions from January to May, but production decreased in June due to factors such as work - face changes, maintenance, and full storage. After the over - production inspection in July, production remained low in the second half. In 2026, the impact of over - production inspection will be long - term, and domestic coking coal production has a ceiling, with limited growth compared to 2025 [41]. - Based on Fenwei's data, from January to October 2025, the cumulative production of coking clean coal was 397 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 1.16%. The annual output is expected to remain at the current level or decline slightly, with a year - on - year increase of about 3.8 million tons. In 2026, under the over - production inspection policy, coking coal production is expected to be about 479 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.6% [46]. 3.2.4 Import - In the first three quarters of 2025, global coal production increased. China's production from Q1 - Q3 was 3.57 billion tons, ranking first with a stable year - on - year growth rate of 2%. India was the second - largest coal - producing country with high - speed growth, while Indonesia actively reduced production, with a year - on - year decrease of 7.5% in the first three quarters [49]. - From January to October 2025, China imported 387.62 million tons of coal, a year - on - year decrease of 11%. Coal imports decreased significantly this year, especially in the first half, due to the lack of cost - effectiveness of imported coal after price declines. In the second half, as domestic coal prices rebounded, import profits increased, and import volume recovered but remained lower than the previous year [57]. - From January to October 2025, coking coal imports totaled 94.12 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.8%. "Mongolian coal + Russian coal" accounted for 78% of imports, while the proportion of seaborne coal decreased. Imports were low in the first half, mainly due to large decreases in Mongolian and US coal imports. In the second half, as domestic production decreased, Mongolian coal imports increased [61]. - In 2026, the main import growth is expected to come from Mongolian coal, with an estimated total import volume of 114 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1% [62]. - In 2025, Mongolian coal imports were low in the first half and high in the second half. In the first half, customs clearance was significantly lower than last year due to high inventory and weak demand. In the second half, as domestic production decreased and demand recovered, customs clearance increased. In 2026, Mongolia plans to increase coal exports to China to 100 million tons, but the core factors affecting customs clearance are regulatory - area storage and terminal demand [63][66]. - In 2025, from January to October, Russian coal imports were 26.42 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 4%. Russian coal enterprises' losses increased, and coal production and exports declined, but metallurgical coal exports increased. India's imports of Russian coking coal increased, diverting some of China's imports. In 2025, Russian coal imports are expected to be 32 million tons, and in 2026, it is expected to increase slightly by 1 million tons [71]. - In 2025, from January to April, US coal imports totaled 2.91 million tons. After May, imports dropped to 0 due to tariffs. In 2026, considering the un - lifted tariffs and poor cost - effectiveness, US coal imports are still difficult to resume. From January to October 2025, Canada coal imports were 9.17 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 28%. Due to the significant decrease in US coal imports, Canada coal imports increased significantly. In 2025, Canada coal imports are expected to be about 11 million tons, and next year may remain flat or increase slightly [76]. - In 2025, from January to October, Australian coal imports were 6.23 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year decrease of 10%. In the first half, imported Australian coal lacked cost - effectiveness due to falling domestic coal prices. After July, import profit opportunities emerged, and imports recovered. In 2025, Australian coal imports are expected to be about 8 million tons. In 2026, considering the production increase plans of Australian coal enterprises, Australian coal imports may increase [77][82]. 3.2.5 Inventory - In the first half of 2025, coking coal inventory accumulated upstream, while downstream maintained low inventory. In the second half, inventory shifted from upstream to downstream, showing a de - stocking pattern throughout the year. The change in mid - stream inventory was one of the main reasons for the large market fluctuations this year. In 2025, coking coal winter stockpiling may be weak. Considering the growth potential of production and imports and limited demand changes, coking coal inventory may accumulate in 2026 [102]. 3.3 Coke 3.3.1 Capacity and Production - The coke industry has a low industrial concentration and is mainly composed of private enterprises, so it is more likely to trigger "capacity reduction" during industry downturns. Currently, the total in - production coking capacity in China is about 567 million tons, with about 52.49 million tons of capacity from coke ovens with a carbonization chamber height of 4.3 meters or less (including heat - recovery coke ovens) and about 514.85 million tons of capacity from ovens with a height of 5.5 meters or more. Coke ovens with a height of 4.3 meters or less are expected to be phased out, mostly by 2026. Some small - scale coking enterprises with weak anti - cycle risk capabilities may also be cleared, and there is room for capacity reduction [112]. - As of the end of November 2025, 16.82 million tons of coking capacity were eliminated, and 15.77 million tons were newly added, resulting in a net elimination of 1.05 million tons. It is expected that in 2025, 16.82 million tons of capacity will be eliminated, and 21.5 million tons will be newly added, resulting in a net increase of 4.68 million tons. In 2025, capacity reduction mainly occurred in Shandong, while new capacity was concentrated in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi [115]. - According to the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to October 2025, China's cumulative coke production was 419 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 3.3%. This year, coking enterprises had poor profitability but higher average profits than last year, with medium - to - high production levels. In 2026, considering the possible continued low profitability of coking enterprises and the lack of demand drivers, coke production is expected to remain flat or decline slightly [122]. 3.3.2 Export - From January to October 2025, China's total coke exports were 6.22 million tons, a significant year - on - year decrease of 22%. The main export destinations were Indonesia, Japan, India, and Malaysia. China's coke still has a price advantage, but the increase in Indonesia's production and exports has impacted China's export market. In 2026, China's coke exports are estimated to be about 7.5 million tons [125]. 3.3.3 Inventory - In 2025, coke production - end inventory gradually decreased, while steel mills had sufficient inventory throughout the year [131]. 3.4 Demand - From January to October 2025, the real estate market continued to decline, with a 19.8% decrease in new housing starts and a 1.7% year - on - year decrease in fixed - asset investment. Infrastructure investment decreased by 0.1%, manufacturing investment increased by 2.7%, and real estate development investment decreased by 14.7%. From January to October, cumulative steel exports were 97.74 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.6%. This year, the main story of steel demand was exports. In 2026, steel demand is expected to change little from this year, and attention should be paid to the impact of overseas policies on direct and indirect exports [141]. - From January to October 2025, China's crude steel production was 818 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.9%. The average daily hot metal production of 247 steel mills increased by 3.3% year - on - year, and hot metal production was mostly at a high level compared to the previous year. In 2026, steel supply and demand are not expected to change significantly, and pig iron production is expected to be similar to this year [144]. 3.5 Balance Sheet 3.5.1 Coking Coal - In 2026, coking coal production is expected to be about 479 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.6%. Imports are expected to recover slightly, mainly due to an increase in Mongolian coal

Core Viewpoints of the Report - A-share market is in a volatile state, with the Shanghai Composite Index down 0.81% to 3939.81 points, and over 4100 stocks falling. The 10 - month macro - data shows a decline in industrial growth, consumption, and investment, except for a decrease in the unemployment rate [7]. - For various commodities, different trends and investment suggestions are given, such as steel and ore may be volatile in the short - term and bearish in the medium - to - long - term; coal and coke prices may continue to decline in the short - term; lithium carbonate may see a price correction in Q1 2026 but offers a chance to buy on dips [11][12][17]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro - Finance Stock Index Futures - Strategy: Adopt a volatile mindset and stay on the sidelines for now. A - shares are volatile and declining, with most stocks falling. The 10 - month macro - data shows a decline in industrial growth, consumption, and investment, except for a decrease in the unemployment rate, which may be due to technical factors, export drag, "anti - involution" impact, and the real - estate cycle [7]. Treasury Bond Futures - Strategy: Although the market's expectation of monetary easing has declined, there is still a possibility of interest - rate cuts. Maintain a bullish view on the bond market due to the decline in fiscal policy. The tax - payment period has tightened the capital market, and the bond market's news is light. The 10 - month macro - data shows a decline in industrial growth, consumption, and investment, except for a decrease in the unemployment rate [8]. Black Commodities Steel and Ore - Future market view: In the short - term, the industry may return to fundamentals after a series of macro - events. In the medium - to - long - term, pay attention to the impact of the Central Political Bureau Meeting in early December and the Central Economic Work Conference in mid - December on the market's macro - expectations. - Fundamental analysis: Demand is weak, supply may decline later, and inventory is high compared to last year. The valuation of iron ore is relatively strong, while coal and coke futures prices are weak. Steel prices are likely to remain weak. - Trend: Steel and ore are expected to be volatile in the short - term and bearish on rallies in the medium - to - long - term. - Spot market: Steel and iron ore spot prices show different trends, and the overall trading volume is poor [10][11]. Coal and Coke - View: The prices of coking coal and coke may continue to decline in the short - term. Later, pay attention to the impact of coal - mine production, safety inspections, and changes in downstream hot - metal production. - Fluctuation reason: Coal production has increased slightly but remains low, and coke production is in a loss state. The demand for raw materials from steel mills is still supported in the short - term. - Future outlook: The supply of coking coal may be restricted in the medium - term, but it may increase in the short - term. The weakening demand for steel and the potential negative feedback risk still restrict the prices of coal and coke [12]. Ferroalloys - Market outlook: The volatility of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese has increased, but the fundamentals have not changed significantly. The market is still in a volatile range, and there is no obvious negative feedback [13]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials Lithium Carbonate - Short - term: The current fundamentals are good, but there is an expectation of weakening demand in the power sector in Q1 2026. If production resumes at Jiaxiaowo and demand weakens, the price may continue to correct. Pay attention to the opportunity to buy on dips [17]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - Industrial silicon: The supply - demand contradiction is not prominent. It is in a range - bound state and can be bought on dips or sell out - of - the - money put options. - Polysilicon: The industry still has expectations for "anti - involution." The spot price is firm, and the supply - demand contradiction is weak. It will continue to be volatile [18]. Agricultural Products Cotton - Logic and view: The supply pressure is increasing, and demand is weak. The high cost resists price declines, and it is in a low - level volatile state. - Future outlook: The USDA's November supply - demand report is bearish, and domestic supply is large while demand is weak. The valuation of Zhengzhou cotton futures is lower than the spot price, which limits the decline [21]. Sugar - Logic and view: The domestic sugar supply - demand outlook is bearish. Before the large - scale impact of new sugar, it is advisable to wait and see. There is still supply pressure in the long - term. - Future outlook: The global sugar supply is expected to be in surplus in the 2025/26 season. Domestic new sugar production is increasing, and the low cost of imported sugar suppresses the price of Zhengzhou sugar futures [23]. Eggs - View: The spot market is weak, and the futures price has declined to correct the premium. The inventory of laying hens is still high, and the probability of a significant price increase before the Spring Festival is low. It is recommended to gradually close short positions and wait and see [26]. Apples - View: The price is in a volatile state. The acquisition of late - maturing Fuji apples is coming to an end, and the inventory is low while the price is high. The follow - up consumption will affect the future price [28]. Corn - View: Pay attention to the upper pressure on the futures price. The spot price has rebounded, but the supply pressure is still large. The price may correct, but the decline space is limited [29]. Red Dates - View: Temporarily wait and see. The prices in the production and sales areas are stable at a low level and are in a volatile and slightly upward state [30]. Pigs - Overall view: The supply pressure continues, and demand is average. The spot price is likely to be weak and volatile. It is recommended to short near - month contracts on rallies [30]. Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - Fluctuation reason: The market is balancing the impact of supply surplus and geopolitical conflicts. The supply is expected to be in surplus in Q1 2026, and OPEC+ has slowed down production increases, but this has not fundamentally changed the situation. - Outlook: The supply - demand contradiction is not obvious, and the price is expected to be volatile [33]. Fuel Oil - The price is influenced by geopolitical and macro - factors and will follow the trend of crude - oil prices. The supply is loose, and demand is weak [34]. Plastics - View: Polyolefins have a large supply pressure and are expected to be weak and volatile. However, the high production cost of upstream enterprises may provide some support [35]. Rubber - Strategy: Pay attention to the strategy of expanding the spread between RU and NR. After the price rebounds, appropriately reduce the position of selling out - of - the - money put options. The market is expected to be volatile in the short - term [36]. Methanol - View: The market is highly volatile due to factors such as whether Iran restricts gas supply and port inventory changes. The supply pressure is large, and the near - month contracts are expected to be weak and volatile, while the far - month contracts can be slightly long after a rebound [37]. Caustic Soda - The spot price is declining, and the fundamentals have not improved significantly. There are factors driving the long - position, such as rising coal prices. It is recommended to seize long - position opportunities [39]. Asphalt - The price fluctuation is expected to increase. The future focus is on the price bottom after the winter - storage game [40]. Pulp - The market sentiment has weakened, and the price is in a wide - range volatile state. It is recommended to observe the digestion of old warehouse receipts and spot trading [45]. Logs - The fundamentals are weak and volatile, and the spot price has declined. The inventory is expected to increase, and it is expected to be under pressure [46]. Urea - The spot price is expected to strengthen, and the futures market is also expected to be strong [47]. Synthetic Rubber - The price is in a short - term range - bound state. It is advisable to be cautious when going long and can sell call options after a rebound [48]. Polyester Industry Chain - The downstream demand is insufficient, and the market lacks continuous driving force. It is expected to be in a volatile state in the short - term [42]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - Although the short - term fundamentals are favorable, the price has risen significantly, and it is not advisable to chase the rise. It is recommended to short on rallies in the medium - to - long - term [44].

Group 1: Report Information - Report Title: Nanhua Coal and Coke Industry Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: November 17, 2025 [1] - Research Team: Nanhua Research Institute, Black Research Team [2] - Analyst: Zhang Xuan, License No. Z0022723 [2] - Investment Consulting Business Qualification: CSRC License [2011] No. 1290 [2] Group 2: Price Forecast and Volatility - **Price Range Forecast (Monthly)** - Coking Coal: 1100 - 1350 [3] - Coke: 1550 - 1850 [3] - **Current Volatility (20 - day Rolling)** - Coking Coal: 36.02% [3] - Coke: 28.42% [3] - **Current Volatility Historical Percentile** - Coking Coal: 69.61% [3] - Coke: 60.19% [3] Group 3: Risk Management Strategies - **Inventory Hedging** - Scenario: Steel mills' profit margins are shrinking, making it difficult for coke producers to raise prices. Coke producers are worried about future price drops and want to lock in sales prices in advance. - Strategy: Short the Coke 2601 contract. - Hedging Tool: J2601 (Sell) - Recommended Hedging Ratio: 25% at (1780, 1830); 50% at (1830 - 1880) [3] - **Procurement Management** - Scenario: Macroeconomic sentiment is fluctuating. Coking coal mine production rates are seasonally low. Factors such as over - production checks and anti - cut - throat competition in the fourth quarter are affecting coking coal supply. Coking plants are worried about future price increases and want to lock in procurement prices in advance. - Strategy: Long the Coking Coal 2605 contract. - Hedging Tool: JM2605 (Buy) - Recommended Hedging Ratio: 25% at (1150, 1180); 50% at (1120, 1150) [3] Group 4: Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report | Commodity | Unit | 2025 - 11 - 17 | 2025 - 11 - 14 | 2025 - 11 - 10 | Daily Change | Weekly Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rebar | Tons | 108272 | 111927 | 128592 | - 3655 | - 20320 | | Hot - Rolled Coil | Tons | 150567 | 144083 | 127028 | 6484 | 23539 | | Iron Ore | Lots | 900 | 900 | 800 | 0 | 100 | | Coking Coal | Lots | 100 | 100 | 100 | 0 | 0 | | Coke | Lots | 2070 | 2070 | 2070 | 0 | 0 | | Ferrosilicon | Contracts | 8450 | 8450 | 5699 | 0 | 2751 | | Ferromanganese | Contracts | 19863 | 18663 | 14358 | 1200 | 5505 | [4] Group 5: Core Logic and Strategy Recommendations - **Core Logic** - Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission emphasized stable energy production and supply and peak - period energy security, but this is a routine policy and not the core reason for the downward trend in the futures market. - The key factors are the large increase in coking coal and thermal coal spot prices, low acceptance from downstream users, strong market wait - and - see sentiment, and miners' fear of high prices leading to faster sales. - Downstream steel mills' losses are increasing, more steel mills plan to conduct maintenance, iron - water production is expected to decline, and coal - coke demand is seasonally weakening. It is difficult for the fourth round of coke price increases to be implemented. - In the short term, futures and spot prices may face adjustment pressure. In the long term, over - production checks and safety production policies will limit coking coal supply elasticity. With the upcoming winter storage demand, the downward space for coking coal spot prices is limited. [4] - **Strategy Recommendations** - Coking Coal reference range: (1100, 1350); Coke reference range: (1600, 1850). If prices fall to the lower end of the range and show signs of stabilization and rebound, consider going long. [4] Group 6:利多 and利空解读 - **利多解读** - In the fourth quarter, under the constraints of "anti - cut - throat competition" and "over - production checks" policies, domestic mine production rates face a theoretical upper limit, restricting coking coal supply elasticity. - As the starting year of the "14th Five - Year Plan" in 2026, the long - term market outlook has improved significantly, and this year's winter storage scale is expected to be better than last year, providing phased support for coal - coke prices. [6] - **利空解读** - Recently, steel mills' profits have been damaged, the number of maintenance steel mills has increased, iron - water production has decreased month - on - month, end - users generally believe that current coking coal spot prices are too high, and their willingness to purchase is low. Coal - coke demand has reached a phased peak, and short - term prices may face adjustment. [7] Group 7: Coal - Coke Futures and Spot Prices - **Futures Prices** - Multiple indicators such as coking coal and coke warehouse receipt costs, basis, spreads between different contracts, and related ratios (e.g., coking profit, ore - coke ratio, etc.) are provided with specific values and their daily and weekly changes. [8] - **Spot Prices** - Spot prices of various coking coal and coke products, including domestic and imported ones, are given, along with their daily and weekly changes. Import and export profits for different types of coal and coke are also presented. [9][10]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent significant drop in coking coal prices, attributing it to a shift in supply expectations following a meeting held by the National Development and Reform Commission regarding energy supply for the heating season in 2025-2026 [4][7]. Market Review - Coking coal prices saw a substantial decline, with the main contract for January 2024 closing at 1213 CNY/ton, down 3.81%, and the May contract at 1272 CNY/ton, down 2.04% [4]. Reasons for Coking Coal Price Drop - The drop in coking coal prices occurred despite strong fundamentals, primarily due to a change in supply expectations after the government meeting emphasized the importance of ensuring energy supply for the heating season [7][9]. Fundamental Conditions - Since June, coal prices have rebounded significantly from below 620 CNY/ton to 817 CNY/ton, driven by tightening supply expectations and a potential cold winter increasing demand [9][12]. - Current market conditions indicate a tight balance in the spot market, with domestic coal production remaining low, although there has been an increase in imported coal from Mongolia [12][15]. Variables to Monitor - The article suggests that while the market has reacted to supply expectation changes, actual coal production has not yet increased, and significant growth in production is unlikely in the fourth quarter due to safety production requirements [15]. - The focus should be on whether the spot market will adjust in response to the futures market's decline [15].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The recent concentrated replenishment by downstream coke and steel mills, combined with the decline in the operation of mines in some production areas, has improved the coking coal inventory structure. The coking profit has been severely damaged, and the production enthusiasm of independent coke enterprises has been frustrated. With the tight supply of coke and the cost support of coking coal, the coke price may be strong in the short term [2][5]. - In the short term, the inventory pressure of finished steel products is relatively large, showing obvious characteristics of a lackluster peak season. There is still pressure on the real - end of steel products. If the contradictions in finished steel products cannot be effectively resolved and the profitability of steel mills continues to deteriorate, it may trigger a negative feedback risk in the black - metal industry [5]. - In the fourth quarter, under the constraints of the "anti - involution" and "over - production inspection" policies, the operating rate of domestic mines faces a theoretical upper limit, and the supply elasticity of coking coal is limited. As the starting year of the "14th Five - Year Plan" in 2026, the long - term market expectations have significantly improved. This year's winter storage scale is expected to be better than last year, which will form a phased support for the prices of coking coal and coke [9]. - If the coking coal supply continues to tighten in the fourth quarter and the winter storage demand is released in mid - to late November, the overall valuation center of the black - metal industry is expected to move up, and coking coal and coke are suitable as long - position varieties in the black - metal sector [2]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - The concentrated replenishment by downstream coke and steel mills and the decline in mine operation in some areas have improved the coking coal inventory structure, leading to a tight supply situation in the spot market, which has strengthened both the basis and the calendar - spread positive arbitrage of coking coal. The coking profit has been severely damaged, and the second - round price increase is about to be implemented. There is a possibility that coking coal prices will continue to rise and squeeze coking profit. The production enthusiasm of independent coke enterprises has been frustrated, resulting in a tight supply of coke. With the cost support of coking coal, the coke price may be strong in the short term. However, approaching the off - season, the marginal demand for steel has weakened, and the high hot - metal output has intensified the inventory contradiction of finished steel products, putting pressure on steel prices and continuously shrinking steel mill profits. The potential negative feedback risk will restrict the short - term rebound height of coking coal and coke prices [2]. 3.1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: The market will fluctuate within a range. The operating range of JM2601 is 1100 - 1350, and that of J2601 is 1550 - 1850 [12]. - **Basis Strategy**: Recently, the basis of coking coal is strong, and the valuation of the futures market relative to the spot market is low. Customers with purchase plans can adopt a buying - hedging strategy. The basis of coke has shrunk, and the basis level is moderately low. Eligible industrial customers can consider participating in the positive cash - and - carry arbitrage of coke [12]. - **Calendar - Spread Strategy**: The 1 - 5 reverse arbitrage of coking coal is temporarily abolished. The spot market in the near - term is strong, and the logic of reverse arbitrage is not clear. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being [12]. - **Hedging and Arbitrage Strategy**: Short the coking profit in the futures market at high prices. The recommended entry range is 1.5 - 1.55 for the ratio of 01 - contract coke to coking coal [12]. 3.1.3 Operation Recommendations for Industrial Customers - **Price Range Forecast**: The price range of coking coal is predicted to be 1100 - 1350, and that of coke is 1550 - 1850 [13]. - **Risk Management Strategy Recommendations**: For inventory hedging, when steel mill profits are marginally shrinking and it is more difficult for coke enterprises to raise prices, coke enterprises worried about future price drops can short the J2601 contract of coke. For procurement management, when factors such as macro - sentiment fluctuations, seasonal low operating rates of coking coal mines, and off - season inspections and anti - involution policies disrupt coking coal supply, coking plants worried about future raw - material price increases can long the JM2605 contract of coking coal [13]. 3.1.4 Basic Data Overview - **Coking Coal Supply and Inventory**: The operating rate and daily production of 523 coking coal mines have decreased, while the operating rate and daily production of 314 coal - washing plants have increased. The total inventory of coking coal samples has increased slightly [14]. - **Coke Supply and Inventory**: The production capacity utilization rate and daily output of independent coke enterprises have decreased slightly, while those of 247 steel mills have increased slightly. The total inventory of coke samples has remained basically unchanged [14]. - **Spot and Futures Prices**: The spot prices of coking coal and coke have generally increased, and the basis and calendar - spread of coking coal and coke have shown different trends [15][16][17]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Concerns 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: The supply and demand of the five major steel products have both increased. The environmental protection in Wuhai has been tightened again, affecting the production of some coal mines. The production capacity utilization rate of 523 coking coal mines has decreased [19]. - **Negative Information**: The average loss per ton of coke for 30 independent coking plants has increased. The profitability of steel mills has deteriorated, and the daily hot - metal output has decreased slightly [21]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - The Federal Reserve FOMC will announce its interest - rate decision next Thursday. China's official manufacturing PMI for October and the annual rate of the US core PCE price index for September will be released next Friday [21]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price - Volume and Fund Interpretation - **Unilateral Trend**: The current spot market of coking coal shows a tight supply situation. If the coking coal main contract can effectively break through the 1260 pressure level, it is expected to冲击 the previous high of 1330 in the short term; otherwise, it will return to the 1100 - 1260 oscillation range [22]. - **Fund Trends**: Recently, the net short positions of the main seats in coking coal and coke have significantly decreased, indicating that some short - side funds are actively leaving the market. The market's bullish expectations for the future have increased, and the marginal improvement in fund sentiment has provided some support for the prices of coking coal and coke [24]. - **Calendar - Spread Structure**: Recently, the term structure of coking coal has changed from a deep C - structure to a gentle C - structure, and the 1 - 5 calendar - spread positive arbitrage has strengthened [28]. - **Basis Structure**: Recently, the basis of coking coal is strong, and customers with purchase plans can adopt a buying - hedging strategy; the basis of coke has shrunk, and eligible industrial customers can consider participating in the positive cash - and - carry arbitrage of coke [31]. - **Spread Structure**: The coking profit in the futures market has continued to fluctuate at a low level this week. The idea of shorting the coking profit in the futures market at high prices remains unchanged [36]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Tracking of Upstream and Downstream Profits in the Industry Chain - The cost of coal for coking has increased, and the profit of mines has improved month - on - month, while the immediate coking profit has been damaged. The inventory pressure of finished steel products is large, the profits of blast - furnace and electric - arc - furnace steel mills have continued to shrink, and the hot - metal output has slightly decreased marginally [38]. 3.4.2 Tracking of Import and Export Profits - Since June, the profit of long - term coking coal trade with Mongolia has recovered, and the enthusiasm for customs clearance has significantly increased compared with the second quarter. The current customs clearance of Mongolian coal is basically the same as that of the same period last year. The inventory pressure at the port is not large, and traders are actively holding up prices. The calculated sea - borne coal profit has shrunk since mid - September, and the import profit of some coal types has turned negative, but the import window remains open, and the coal shipping volume is still at a high level [40][47]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 Supply - Side and Deduction - Due to the pressure of over - production inspection and safety supervision, the production - increase space of coking coal mines in the fourth quarter may be limited. It is estimated that the average weekly output of coking coal in November will be 9.7 - 9.75 million tons. In terms of imports, although the import profit of sea - borne coal has declined compared with July, the import window remains open, and the supply of imported coal in the fourth quarter is expected to remain at a high level. It is estimated that the net import volume of coking coal in November will be 9.8 - 10 million tons, equivalent to an average weekly net import volume of about 2.3 million tons. The production enthusiasm for coke has been suppressed, and it is estimated that the weekly coke output in November will be maintained at 7.7 - 7.75 million tons [62][64]. 3.5.2 Demand - Side and Deduction - The profitability of blast furnaces has rapidly deteriorated recently.
