Core Viewpoint - The steel industry is experiencing a significant price increase due to production cuts driven by environmental regulations and government policies aimed at eliminating outdated capacity. This has led to a reduction in steel output expectations, particularly in Tangshan, where a 30% production cut has been mandated from July 4 to July 15. The market anticipates further impacts on steel production as a result of these measures [1][3]. Group 1: Steel Industry Insights - The recent meeting of the Financial and Economic Committee emphasized the need to push for the elimination of outdated production capacity, directly influencing the steel market [1]. - Tangshan steel mills have received directives for a 30% production cut, which is expected to significantly lower steel inventories and production levels [1]. - The China Iron and Steel Association reported that steel billet exports in the first four months of 2025 have already surpassed the total for 2024, prompting suggestions for export restrictions [1]. - A total of approximately 30 million tons of production cuts have been ordered for the year, coinciding with a seasonal demand lull, which has heightened market expectations for reduced steel output [1]. Group 2: Market Reactions and Trends - Longjiang Securities noted that administrative production cuts could act as a bullish option for the steel sector, particularly in July, which is traditionally a slow season for demand [3]. - The announcement of production cuts in the photovoltaic glass sector has also led to significant price increases in that market, indicating a broader trend of supply-side reforms impacting various sectors [3]. - The steel sector saw a strong rally in stock prices, with companies like Liugang and Chongqing Steel hitting their daily price limits amid these developments [9][10]. Group 3: Broader Economic Context - The overall A-share market experienced a decline, with major indices falling and a significant number of stocks trading lower, reflecting broader economic pressures [9]. - The government is expected to focus on structural adjustments across multiple industries, including steel, refining, and new energy sectors, as part of its economic strategy [7]. Group 4: Investment Trends - Institutional investors have begun to sell off some positions in response to the recent price increases in steel, indicating a cautious approach to the current market dynamics [1][4]. - The market's reaction to production cuts in both the steel and photovoltaic sectors suggests a growing trend towards supply-side management as a means to stabilize prices and manage excess capacity [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views - Copper prices are mainly driven by the tight supply - demand situation caused by cross - regional flow due to the copper tariff, and future price fluctuations will be affected by the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations [10]. - For crude oil, with the easing of Middle - East geopolitical risks and seasonal factors, the supply - demand situation has improved marginally. It is recommended to cautiously buy bearish options [11][12]. - For asphalt, as it enters the peak season, it is recommended to buy the 09 - 12 spread at low prices while operating cautiously [13]. - PP, plastic, and PVC are all expected to be in a low - level oscillation pattern due to factors such as high inventory, weak demand, and falling crude oil prices [15][16][18]. - The upward momentum of soybean oil has weakened, and it is expected to maintain a range - bound oscillation [19]. - For rebar, if the production - restriction rumors continue to ferment or materialize, there is still room for an upward movement, but the risk of a pull - back due to rumor falsification should be watched out for [21]. - For hot - rolled coils, if production restrictions are intensified and demand does not weaken significantly, it may maintain a strong oscillation pattern; otherwise, weak demand may limit its upward space [22]. - For coking coal, although there is a tight supply expectation, the upward space is limited due to weak demand [24]. - For urea, it is mainly in a consolidation phase and still faces downward pressure [25][26]. Summary by Variety Carbonate Lithium - The average price of battery - grade and industrial - grade carbonate lithium has increased. The supply side shows that upstream prices are firm, and the production cost and output of domestic carbonate lithium are rising. The demand side indicates that downstream acceptance of high prices is low, and the overall production capacity is loose. The upward trend is mainly due to market sentiment, and the upward space is limited [3]. Soybean Meal - The main 09 contract of soybean meal closed down 0.57%. Internationally, the new US tax bill may benefit US soybean growers, and the soybean good - to - excellent rate is lower than expected. Domestically, the inventory of imported soybeans and soybean meal has increased. It is expected to show an oscillatory adjustment pattern [4][5]. Copper - The Shanghai copper market showed a strong trend. The US manufacturing PMI has been in contraction for four months. The supply of copper is still increasing, and the inventory in most regions is decreasing. The export demand has increased due to the copper tariff event, but the overall demand is weak. The main logic for the price increase is the tight supply expectation caused by cross - regional flow [9][10]. Crude Oil - After the US military's intervention in Iran, the subsequent retaliatory actions and cease - fire have affected market sentiment. The supply - demand situation has improved marginally, but the Middle - East geopolitical risks still need to be monitored. It is recommended to cautiously buy bearish options [11][12]. Asphalt - The supply side shows that the start - up rate has rebounded, and the expected output in July has increased. The demand side indicates that the start - up rate of downstream industries has fluctuated, and the inventory is at a low level. With the easing of geopolitical risks, it is recommended to operate cautiously and buy the 09 - 12 spread at low prices [13]. PP - The downstream start - up rate has decreased, and the enterprise start - up rate has increased. The inventory pressure is high. With the sharp drop in crude oil prices, it is expected to be in a low - level oscillation [14][15]. Plastic - The start - up rate has decreased, and the downstream start - up rate is at a low level. The inventory pressure is high. With the sharp drop in crude oil prices, it is expected to be in a low - level oscillation [16]. PVC - The start - up rate has decreased, and the downstream start - up rate is low. The export is restricted, and the inventory is high. With the sharp drop in crude oil prices, it is recommended to short at high prices [17][18]. Soybean Oil - The main 09 contract of soybean oil closed up 0.63%. Internationally, the US soybean planting area is slightly lower than expected, and the quarterly inventory is higher. Domestically, the oil - mill start - up rate has increased, and the inventory has accumulated. It is expected to maintain a range - bound oscillation [19]. Rebar - The main contract showed a trend of "bottom - fishing and upward movement". The supply contraction expectation has increased due to production - restriction rumors, but the demand is weak. The raw material prices have rebounded. If the rumors materialize, there is upward space, but there is also a risk of a pull - back [20][21]. Hot - Rolled Coils - The main contract showed an "oscillatory upward and breakthrough" pattern. The supply - demand structure is characterized by "continued inventory reduction and rigid - demand support". The production has slightly increased, the inventory pressure is small, and the demand has improved. It is recommended to focus on production - restriction implementation and policy trends [22]. Coking Coal - The price closed up more than 3%. The supply side is expected to contract due to safety inspections and capacity - clearance expectations. The demand side is relatively weak. The upward space is limited due to weak demand [24]. Urea - The futures price showed a strong oscillation. The supply side has both maintenance and resumption of production, and the daily output fluctuates slightly. The demand side is weak, and the inventory is mainly reduced through exports. It is mainly in a consolidation phase and faces downward pressure [25][26].

Group 1: Report Summary of Investment Ratings - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided reports. Group 2: Core Views of the Report - In the off - season, market participants worry that the demand for the black sector will decline, and there is no strong rebound driver for the black sector [6]. - Short - term production restrictions have a more obvious impact on steel. If short - term production restrictions cannot be sustained, the positive impact on profits and steel prices will not last long [6]. - The basis of black sector varieties that were previously at a large futures discount has been rapidly repaired recently, with coking coal and coke showing futures premiums and iron ore futures approaching parity [6]. - For coking coal and coke, the short - term disturbances in coal mine production in July have subsided. If the overall situation of coal mine resumption changes little, the phased high of the coking coal and coke futures may have been reached [6]. - The prices of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese mainly fluctuate following coal prices. Ferrosilicon's supply has a slight increase, and demand is okay in the short - term. Silicomanganese's supply continues to rise, and the supply - demand structure is relatively loose [6]. - For iron ore, short - term attention should be paid to the actual impact of production restrictions on molten iron and whether the production restriction wave will spread to other regions. Currently, iron ore is in a shock range [6]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Futures Market - On July 1st, for far - month contracts, RB2601 closed at 3016 yuan/ton with a decline of 7 yuan (- 0.23%), HC2601 at 3136 yuan/ton with a decline of 4 yuan (- 0.13%), etc. For near - month contracts, RB2510 closed at 3003 yuan/ton with a decline of 6 yuan (- 0.20%), HC2510 at 3136 yuan/ton with an increase of 2 yuan (0.06%) [2]. - The cross - month spreads, spreads/ratios/profits also showed different changes on July 1st.

Spot Market - On July 1st, the spot price of Shanghai rebar was 3100 yuan/ton with a decline of 40 yuan, Tianjin rebar was 3130 yuan/ton with a decline of 20 yuan, etc. The spot prices of hot - rolled coils in different regions also had different changes [2]. Industry Analysis - **Steel**: Short - term production restrictions in Tangshan and Shanxi led to a rebound in the virtual profit of the futures market on Tuesday. If the production restrictions cannot be sustained, the positive impact on profits and steel prices will be short - lived. The basis of steel varieties has been rapidly repaired recently [6]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The spot trading of coking coal is still good, with most prices rising. The supply of coal mines in July is expected to increase. The futures prices of coking coal and coke fell in the morning and rebounded in the afternoon. The market expects stricter environmental production restrictions in the future. If the coal mine resumption situation changes little, the phased high of the coking coal and coke futures may have been reached [6]. - **Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese**: Ferrosilicon's price is greatly affected by coal. Its supply has a slight increase, and demand is okay in the short - term. Silicomanganese's supply continues to rise, and the supply - demand structure is relatively loose. Their prices mainly fluctuate following coal and steel [6]. - **Iron Ore**: The news of production restrictions in Tangshan and Shanxi led to an expansion of steel mill profits in the futures market. Short - term attention should be paid to the actual impact of production restrictions on molten iron and whether the production restriction wave will spread to other regions. Currently, iron ore is in a shock range [6]. Investment Suggestions - **Steel**: Stay on the sidelines for single - side trading. Consider entering the market for cash - and - carry arbitrage as the basis approaches the appropriate point. Take profit on short - term long positions in the hot - rolled coil - rebar spread at an appropriate time [6]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: For single - side trading, set the previous high as the stop - loss point and establish short positions on rebounds. Industrial customers can take advantage of the premium to conduct selling hedging [6]. - **Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese**: Buy call options at low prices due to their high price elasticity [6]. - **Iron Ore**: Short at the upper edge of the shock range [6].
