1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - Overall, the finished steel products are supported by raw material costs at the lower end but constrained by inventory at the upper end, expected to trade in a range. Attention should be paid to the de - stocking speed of steel and downstream consumption, with the risk of negative feedback due to the decline in the profitability rate of steel enterprises [3]. - Iron ore prices will continue to be weak in the short term. Macroeconomic data in the US and China are weakening, and overseas risk events are reducing market drivers. Fundamentally, supply remains high, port inventories are accumulating, and demand is weak [20]. - Recently, downstream coke and steel mills have been replenishing stocks, and the inventory structure of coking coal has improved. However, steel mill profits are damaged, and the demand for coking coal and coke has peaked seasonally. In the medium - to - long term, policies restricting coking coal supply and winter storage may affect prices [30]. - Ferroalloys are expected to trade in a range as they return to the fundamentals of high inventory and weak demand after the macro - sentiment fades, but are supported by costs [45]. - Soda ash prices are restricted by high inventory but supported by costs. There is a weakening expectation for its rigid demand due to the cold - repair expectation of glass [54]. - Glass sales have weakened recently, and the spot market is under pressure. There is a small expected decline in supply. The 01 contract may decline towards the delivery date, but there is cost support and policy expectation in the long - term [80]. 3.

Report Summary Key Points - **Report Industry Investment Rating**: Not provided - **Core View**: The steel industry is expected to see a gradual decline in production in the future, with potential for price increases in the latter half with the help of macro funds or policies. The silicon iron and manganese silicon markets are likely to experience price fluctuations due to high supply and weak demand. The coking coal and coke markets are expected to remain volatile, with supply-side support weakening and demand-side pressures increasing. The iron ore market is facing a supply surplus, and prices are likely to decline [5][6][7]. Summary by Category Steel - Futures prices have temporarily stabilized, and spot trading volumes have increased. The short-term macro outlook is uncertain, and the focus is on industry contradictions. Steel production is expected to decline gradually, with potential for price increases in the latter half [5]. - Investment strategy: Hold off on unilateral trading. Consider participating in cash-and-carry arbitrage for hot-rolled coils or using options strategies to assist in spot sales [8]. Silicon Iron and Manganese Silicon - Prices are fluctuating due to a decline in market sentiment and external macro factors. The fundamentals are weak, with high supply, large inventory, and weak downstream demand. Prices are likely to be under pressure [5]. - Investment strategy: Temporarily hold off on trading and wait for more information on supply and demand [11]. Coking Coal and Coke - Steel mills have not responded to the fourth round of coke price increases, and the spot market sentiment has weakened. The supply of coking coal is still disrupted, but the upward price drive has weakened. The demand side is facing negative feedback as steel demand enters the off-season [6]. - Investment strategy: Hold off on short-term unilateral trading and consider low-buying in the long term. Industrial customers can consider selling hedges [6][11]. Iron Ore - The supply of iron ore is currently strong, but mainly due to shipping schedules. Iron ore port inventories are expected to continue to rise as steel production declines. The market is facing a supply surplus, and prices are likely to decline [7]. - Investment strategy: Partially take profits on short positions [7][11].

November and December imports are expected to decline [8]. - The new Japanese government asks the central bank to postpone interest rate hikes until at least January next year, but the central bank may raise rates as early as December [8]. Macro Finance Stock Index Futures - Adopt a shock - rising strategy and pay attention to the style switch between IH and IC. The A - share market shows differentiation, with inflation data better than expected and export decline affected by high - base and holiday factors [10][11]. Treasury Bond Futures - Monetary policy implementation is in the realization period, and bonds still have upward momentum. Pay attention to the rhythm. The market digests inflation data, and bonds show a strong trend. The decline in exports is affected by multiple factors, and moderately loose monetary policy should be implemented [12]. Black Steel and Iron Ore - In the short term, the black market will be in shock consolidation, and in the medium term (winter), it will maintain a short - on - rallies strategy. Policy events are basically settled, and the industry will return to fundamentals. Demand for building materials is weak, while demand for coils is okay. Steel mills' profits are low, and iron ore and other raw material prices are weak [14]. Coking Coal and Coke - The prices of coking coal and coke may continue to fluctuate in the short term. Pay attention to the impact of mine inspections and downstream molten iron output. In the short term, molten iron output may decline, and coking coal supply is restricted. However, weak steel demand in the off - season and potential negative feedback will limit price increases [16][17]. Ferroalloys - In the long - term, the oversupply of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese is difficult to ease. Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy. In the short - term, also take a short - on - rallies approach, but be cautious due to the firm performance of manganese ore and rising lanthanum charcoal prices [18]. Soda Ash and Glass - Currently, adopt a wait - and - see strategy. Glass prices are weak, and soda ash prices are strong. Glass enterprises reduce prices after poor sales, and some soda ash plants raise prices due to cost increases and production cuts [19]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials Zinc - Hold short positions at high levels. Domestic zinc inventories slightly increase, and zinc prices are high due to inventory fluctuations and macro - positive factors. Downstream demand is cautious, and spot trading is mainly among traders [21]. Lithium Carbonate - In the short - term, the fundamentals are good, but there is an expectation of weakening demand in Q1 next year. After the price correction, consider buying on dips [21]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - Industrial silicon has no prominent supply - demand contradiction and will fluctuate within a range. Polysilicon's price is supported by spot prices, and its upper limit depends on capacity merger policies. It will also fluctuate within a narrow range [24]. Agricultural Products Cotton - Cotton prices will fluctuate at a low level. Supply pressure is increasing, and demand is weak. The end of the US government shutdown is beneficial for market confidence. Pay attention to USDA reports [28]. Sugar - Domestic sugar prices are under pressure from supply expectations but supported by production costs. Adopt a wait - and - see strategy before new sugar supply increases significantly. Global sugar supply is expected to be in surplus [30]. Eggs - Egg futures are strong due to "capacity reduction" expectations, but the premium over spot may limit the upside. Spot prices may be strong in November but with limited upside. It is recommended to wait and see, and aggressive investors can short near - month contracts [33]. Apples - Apple prices will fluctuate strongly. The apple storage season is nearly over, and inventory is lower than last year. Pay attention to price trends and post - storage sales [35]. Corn - Adopt a wait - and - see strategy and pay attention to the upside pressure on the futures. Corn prices have rebounded, but supply pressure is still accumulating. Pay attention to new - grain sales progress and wheat policy [36]. Red Dates - Adopt a wait - and - see strategy. Weak spot sales in the distribution area drag down new - jujube ordering prices, and the futures fluctuate [38]. Pigs - Supply pressure continues, and demand is average. Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy for near - month contracts and control positions. Supply is high, and short - term sales pressure remains [38]. Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - Crude oil prices are expected to fluctuate. EIA inventories are increasing, and there is an expectation of supply surplus in Q1 next year. OPEC+ slows down production increases, but the long - term supply - demand imbalance remains [41]. Fuel Oil - Fuel oil prices will follow crude oil prices. Supply is loose, and demand is weak. The focus is on supply concerns after sanctions on Russia [43]. Plastics - Polyolefins are expected to fluctuate weakly due to supply pressure, but production losses may provide some support [44]. Rubber - Rubber prices are expected to fluctuate slightly stronger. Consider going long on dips with stop - losses. Pay attention to the spread between RU and NR [45]. Synthetic Rubber - Be cautious about going long on synthetic rubber. It may continue to fluctuate weakly due to raw material drag. Pay attention to downstream procurement and macro - sentiment [46]. Methanol - Methanol prices fluctuate greatly. Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy for near - month contracts and wait for a long - entry opportunity for far - month contracts after a rebound driver appears [47]. Caustic Soda - Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy for caustic soda and consider going long on dips. Spot prices are stable, and futures prices are affected by coking coal prices [49]. Asphalt - Asphalt prices are expected to have a larger fluctuation range. The focus is on the price bottom after winter - storage games. Crude oil prices are stable, and asphalt demand is entering the end - stage [50]. Polyester Industry Chain - The polyester industry chain is expected to be strong in the short - term. Pay attention to unexpected device changes. PX supply is stable, PTA supply pressure may ease, and ethylene glycol inventory is high [51]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - In the long - term, adopt a short strategy for LPG. In the short - term, prices may fluctuate strongly due to the approaching peak demand season [53]. Pulp - Adopt a wait - and - see strategy for pulp. Fundamentals are stable, and the upside space is limited [53]. Logs - Log prices are expected to be under pressure. Fundamentals are weakly balanced, and inventory is expected to increase [54]. Urea - Operate according to policies and pay attention to basis pressure. Adopt a wide - range fluctuation strategy. Spot prices are rising, but the follow - up power is insufficient [54].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - In the short term, due to weak terminal acceptance and seasonal decline in demand, coal and coke prices may face adjustments. However, in the medium to long term, policies restricting over - production and safety inspections will limit the supply elasticity of coking coal. Coupled with winter storage, the downward adjustment space of coking coal spot may be limited. Coal and coke are suitable as long - positions in the black commodity sector [2]. - The recommended trading ranges are 1100 - 1350 for coking coal and 1600 - 1850 for coke. Consider taking partial profits when the prices rebound to the upper end of the ranges [2]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - **Short - term situation**: Recent downstream restocking and reduced mine production have improved coking coal inventory. However, steel mills are in deeper losses, with more planned maintenance, leading to a decline in hot metal production and seasonal weakening of coal and coke demand. Spot valuations are considered too high, and restocking demand has peaked [2]. - **Long - term outlook**: Policies on over - production inspection and safety will limit coking coal supply elasticity. Winter storage is expected to support prices, and coal and coke can be long - positions in the black commodity sector [2]. 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Base - spread strategy**: Coking coal basis is high, and end - users with procurement plans can consider buying hedging on the futures market. Coke basis has strengthened, and no cash - and - carry arbitrage strategy is recommended [8]. - **Calendar - spread strategy**: The 1 - 5 reverse spread for coking coal is suspended. It is recommended to wait and see due to unclear reverse - spread logic [8]. - **Hedging and arbitrage strategy**: Short the coking profit on the futures market, with an entry range of 1.5 - 1.55 for the 01 coke/coking coal ratio [8]. 1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - **Inventory hedging**: Coke producers worried about price drops can short the J2601 contract, with different hedging ratios and entry ranges [11]. - **Procurement management**: Coking plants concerned about rising raw material prices can long the JM2605 contract, with different hedging ratios and entry ranges [11]. 1.4 Basic Data Overview - **Coking coal supply**: Some mining indicators such as 523 mine coking coal production and 314 coal washery production have changed. Inventory has also changed, with an overall increase in total coking coal inventory [12]. - **Coke supply**: Coke production and inventory have changed, with a decrease in total coke inventory [12]. - **Prices**: Spot and futures prices of coking coal and coke, as well as related profit indicators, have shown different trends [13][14][15]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive news**: CPI increased in October, coke prices were raised, and coking coal prices in some areas rose [17]. - **Negative news**: Scrap steel prices dropped, steel mill profitability declined, and steel consumption decreased [18]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - Monitor China's October M2 money supply growth rate, US October CPI, initial jobless claims, China's October retail sales, and industrial added - value [19]. Chapter 3: Futures Market Interpretation 3.1 Price, Volume, and Capital Interpretation - **Unilateral trend**: The coking coal futures main contract failed to break through the resistance level and may enter a wide - range oscillation [19]. - **Capital flow**: Coking coal long - position holders took profits, and short - positions in coke increased, indicating a cautious market sentiment [21]. - **Calendar - spread structure**: The 1 - 5 positive spread for coking coal has strengthened, and it is recommended to wait and see for the reverse spread [26]. - **Base - spread structure**: Coking coal basis is high, suitable for buying hedging. Coke basis has strengthened, with neutral valuation [32]. Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Industry Chain Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking - Since July, upstream coking coal mines' profits have improved, while downstream coking and steel - making profits have deteriorated. Coke price increases have not significantly improved coking profits, and steel mills are reluctant to accept further price hikes [44]. 4.2 Import and Export Profit Tracking - Mongolian coal long - term contract trade profits have recovered, and customs clearance has increased. Seaborne coal import profits have improved, and coal shipments are expected to remain high [46][49]. Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projections 5.1 Supply Side and Projections - Coking coal production growth in the fourth quarter is limited, with an estimated weekly production of 960 - 965 tons in November. Import supply is expected to remain high, with an estimated net import of 980 - 1000 tons in November [63]. - Coke production is expected to be 763 - 767 tons per week in November, and exports are linearly extrapolated [65]. 5.2 Demand Side and Projections - Due to shrinking steel mill profits, the estimated daily hot metal production in November is 230 - 232 tons [68]. 5.3 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projections - Coking coal and coke supply - demand balance sheets show changes in production, imports, supply, and inventory over different weeks [70].

Group 1: Report Summary - This week, coking coal and coke showed relative resilience in the black steel industry chain, maintaining a sideways oscillation. The macro - level disturbances eased, and the market gradually returned to trading based on its own fundamentals. The strong performance of coking coal was mainly driven by the rising price of thermal coal, reduced inventory pressure on mining enterprises, limited supply increase, and the expectation of winter storage, which released price elasticity. However, the decline in steel mill profitability and hot metal production restricted the upward space of coking coal prices. The short - term futures market is expected to maintain a slightly bullish oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the rhythm and intensity of downstream winter storage. As hot metal production gradually declined, coke consumption decreased, but production also dropped, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern. The third round of coke price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss of coke enterprises, but they are still in the loss range, and the fourth round of price hikes has been initiated. High furnace material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. Steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, limiting the profit space of coke enterprises. The subsequent price hike space of coke depends on the upward range of coking coal, and the futures market fluctuates with coking coal [6]. - As of November 4, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.82%, a week - on - week increase of 0.12 percentage points. The capital availability rate of non - housing construction projects was 61.22%, a week - on - week increase of 0.07 percentage points, and that of housing construction projects was 53.19%, a week - on - week increase of 0.38 percentage points. Since November 10, 2025, China has suspended the 15% additional tariff on imported coking coal from the United States, and the import tariff has dropped to 13%. Thailand has launched an anti - circumvention investigation into hot - rolled steel plates from China [7]. - Domestic coking coal supply has slightly shrunk. Upstream coking coal inventory has slightly increased, but the pressure is not significant. Independent coke enterprises have slightly replenished coking coal, while steel mills have maintained just - in - time procurement. Coke production has slightly decreased. Hot metal production has declined, leading to lower coke consumption. The third round of price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss situation [7]. Group 2: Bull - Bear Focus - Bullish factors include low inventory pressure of coking coal, strong performance of thermal coal prices, and the expectation of industry winter storage. Bearish factors are the weakening profitability of steel mills, low willingness to replenish raw material inventory, and the decline in hot metal production due to environmental protection factors [10]. Group 3: Data Analysis - As of the week of November 7, the operating rate of 523 sample mines was 83.76%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.02%, and the daily average output was 73.83 tons, a decrease of 2.01 tons. The operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants was 37.61%, a month - on - month increase of 1.15%, and the daily average output was 27.53 tons, an increase of 1.01 tons. As of the week of November 1, the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port rebounded but was slightly lower than the same period last year. Overall, the supply of coking coal has limited room for increase [13]. - As of the week of November 7, the clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines was 165.59 tons, an increase of 1.06 tons; the clean coal inventory of 314 sample coal washing plants was 294.97 tons, an increase of 10.55 tons; and the port coking coal inventory was 304.27 tons, an increase of 14.12 tons. The downstream replenishment rhythm of coking coal has slowed down, and the inventory depletion rate has decreased, resulting in a slight increase in weekly inventory, but the mine inventory pressure has been significantly reduced [15]. - As of November 7, the coking coal inventory of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 1070.02 tons, an increase of 17.54 tons. The available inventory days were 12.65 days, an increase of 0.4 days compared with the previous period. The coke inventory of independent coke enterprises was 58.3 tons, a decrease of 1.57 tons. This week, the production and sales of independent coke enterprises were relatively balanced, inventory decreased, and the willingness to replenish coking coal remained, but the replenishment amplitude was narrower than before [18]. - As of November 7, the coking coal inventory of 247 steel enterprises was 787.3 tons, a decrease of 9.02 tons. The available inventory days were 12.84 days, a decrease of 0.12 days compared with the previous period. The coke inventory was 626.64 tons, a decrease of 2.41 tons compared with the previous period, and the available days were 11.07 days, a decrease of 0.5 days. Recently, the profitability of steel mills has continuously declined, and the willingness to replenish raw materials is weak, mainly for just - in - time procurement [22]. - As of November 7, the capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 72.31%, a decrease of 1.13% compared with the previous period, and the daily average output of metallurgical coke was 63.59 tons, a decrease of 1 ton compared with the previous period. The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises was 84.99%, a decrease of 0.22% compared with the previous period, and the daily average coke output was 46.09 tons, a decrease of 0.12 tons compared with the previous period. As downstream consumption weakened, coke production also decreased, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern [24]. - As of the week of November 7, China's coke consumption was 105.4 tons, a decrease of 0.96 tons. From the data of 247 steel enterprises, the daily average hot metal output was 234.22 tons, a decrease of 2.14 tons. Recently, hot metal production has gradually declined, and coke consumption has also decreased, but it is still in a relatively high range [26]. - As of November 7, the average profit per ton of coke for independent coke enterprises was a loss of 22 yuan/ton. The third round of price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss. However, high raw material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability. As of November 7, the profitability of 247 steel enterprises was 39.83%, a further decrease of 5.19% compared with the previous period. The decline in steel mill profitability will intensify the game between steel and coke enterprises, and steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, delaying the implementation of the next price hike or reducing the possibility of implementation, thus limiting the profit space of coke enterprises [28]. - The spot and futures prices of coking coal and coke maintained a slightly bullish oscillating trend [30]. Group 4: Market Outlook - The strong performance of coking coal is mainly driven by the rising price of thermal coal, reduced inventory pressure on mining enterprises, limited supply increase, and the expectation of winter storage, which releases price elasticity. However, the decline in steel mill profitability and hot metal production restricts the upward space of coking coal prices. The short - term futures market is expected to maintain a slightly bullish oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the rhythm and intensity of downstream winter storage [33]. - As hot metal production gradually declines, coke consumption decreases, but production also drops, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern. The third round of coke price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss of coke enterprises, but they are still in the loss range, and the fourth round of price hikes has been initiated. High furnace material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. Steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, limiting the profit space of coke enterprises. The subsequent price hike space of coke depends on the upward range of coking coal, and the futures market fluctuates with coking coal [36].

The Shanghai aluminum price was high yesterday [3]. - The alumina market is in a state of loose supply and demand, with the spot price under pressure, and the industry's profit margin has shrunk significantly. Although the weekly output of alumina has decreased slightly, the overall operating capacity remains high, and environmental protection policies may bring new constraints to production [4]. - Downstream electrolytic aluminum enterprises have weak procurement willingness, and the raw material inventory has continued to accumulate. The total industry inventory has reached a historical high of 4.599 million tons [4]. - The aluminum processing PMI in October fell below the boom - bust line, and the "Silver October" peak season was lackluster.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Reports Steel Industry - The steel market data is bearish, with inventory pressure mainly on off - balance - sheet materials. Attention should be paid to the off - balance - sheet material destocking of the Steel Union sample this week. - Recently, the decline in steel mill hot metal production has alleviated inventory pressure, mainly affecting off - balance - sheet material production cuts. - The apparent demand of the five major steel products in the Steel Union sample is higher than the output, and the inventory continues to decline. However, the plate inventory is relatively high year - on - year, and the winter storage pressure is higher than last year. It is expected that steel mills will actively cut production in winter. - The supply of iron elements in the January contract is in a loose pattern, and the recent decline in hot metal production suppresses iron ore prices. Unilateral trading of rebar and hot - rolled coils should focus on the support levels of 3000 and 3200 respectively. The strategy of going long on coking coal and short on hot - rolled coils can be maintained. [2] Iron Ore Industry - The iron ore futures showed a weak and volatile trend. The supply side saw a decline in global shipments last week but a significant increase in arrivals at 45 ports. The demand side is weak as steel mill profit margins have dropped significantly, hot metal production has fallen from its peak, and steel mills' restocking demand is weak. - The downstream demand for steel is gradually recovering, but there is still inventory pressure on plates. Port inventory is accumulating, and the inventory pressure is increasing. - The previous macro - positive factors have been digested. The decline in steel prices, hot metal production, and the increase in port inventory still suppress iron ore. The driving force for iron ore is weak. Unilateral trading should be on the sidelines for now, with a reference range of 760 - 810. The strategy of going long on coking coal and short on iron ore is recommended. [4] Coke and Coking Coal Industry Coke - The coke futures showed an oscillating and rebounding trend. The mainstream steel mills accepted the third round of coke price increases on November 4 and implemented them at 0:00 on the 5th, with a still - existing expectation of further increases. - The supply side is supported by the rebound in coking coal prices. After the coke price increase, losses are narrowing, and production starts are increasing. The demand side is affected by environmental restrictions in Tangshan and Shanxi, with a significant decline in steel mill hot metal production, weak steel prices, and low steel mill profits, which suppress coke price increases. - The overall inventory is slightly increasing at a medium level, with steel mills destocking and coking plants and ports accumulating inventory. The short - term fluctuations do not affect the bullish view for the fourth quarter. Speculative trading can go long on coke 2601 at dips, with a reference range of 1700 - 1850. The strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke can be adopted, but beware of large price fluctuations. [7] Coking Coal - The coking coal futures showed an oscillating and rebounding trend. The domestic coking coal market continues to be strong, and downstream restocking demand still exists, but traders are becoming cautious due to the rapid price increase. - The supply side is expected to improve as some停产 mines in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia are resuming production, but the output recovery is limited. The import of Mongolian coal has decreased since October but rebounded this week, with tight port resources and strong Mongolian coal quotes. - The demand side is affected by production restrictions in Tangshan and Shanxi, with a significant decline in hot metal production, a slight increase in coking plant production starts, and weakening steel mill restocking demand. The overall inventory is slightly decreasing at a medium level, with mines, ports, and coal - washing plants destocking and coking plants and coal - washing plants accumulating inventory. Unilateral trading can go long on coking coal 2601 at dips, with a reference range of 1200 - 1350. The strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke is recommended, paying attention to price fluctuations. [7] 3.
