1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - On January 16, 2026, coking coal options were officially listed on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, marking the further improvement of the black - series risk management system [2][5]. - There are two strategies: the time - value - earning strategy and the relatively aggressive option - buying strategy. For the time - value - earning strategy, when the price approaches the upper limit of the range (e.g., around 1350 - 1400 yuan/ton) and the implied volatility (IV) is high, sell out - of - the - money call options and buy deep - out - of - the - money call options; when the price falls to the lower limit of the range (e.g., around 1000 - 1100 yuan/ton) and the IV is relatively high, sell out - of - the - money put options and buy deep - out - of - the - money put options. For the aggressive option - buying strategy, when the price rises to the upper limit of the range and the IV is relatively low, consider buying out - of - the - money put options; when the price falls to the lower limit of the range and the IV is relatively low, consider buying out - of - the - money call options [2][19]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Background and Significance of Coking Coal Options Launch - Coking coal is a core raw material in the coal - coking - steel industry chain. In 2024, China's main coking coal production accounted for 53% of the global total, and consumption accounted for 63%. However, coking coal prices have fluctuated sharply in recent years, and traditional futures have limitations in risk management, leading to an urgent need for more refined and flexible risk management tools [5]. - On January 16, 2026, coking coal options were listed on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, which, as a supplementary tool to futures, improves the black - series risk management system [2][5]. 3.2 Coking Coal Option Contract Design and Trading Rules 3.2.1 Coking Coal Option Contracts - The underlying asset is the coking coal futures contract, with contract types including call options and put options. The trading unit is 1 lot (60 tons) of coking coal futures contracts, the quotation unit is yuan (RMB)/ton, and the minimum price change is 0.1 yuan/ton. The daily price limit is the same as that of the underlying futures contract. The contract months are from January to December [6]. - The last trading day is the 12th trading day of the month before the delivery month of the underlying futures contract, and the expiration date is the same as the last trading day. The exercise price covers a range corresponding to 1.5 times the daily price limit of the settlement price of the underlying futures contract on the previous trading day, with different intervals for different price ranges and different contract months. The exercise style is American [8]. 3.2.2 Key Trading Rules - The core contract design focuses on "connecting with futures and flexible risk control". The minimum price change is 0.1 yuan/ton, and the daily price limit is the same as that of futures. The exercise price has a "near - dense and far - sparse" interval setting. The American exercise style allows investors to exercise at any trading day before the expiration date [9]. - Un - exercised in - the - money options at the expiration date will be automatically exercised. The settlement price is determined by the implied volatility theory price on non - last trading days and calculated by a formula on the last trading day. The seller's margin is the higher of two calculation standards. The position limit is 8000 lots, and the trading and exercise fee is 0.5 yuan/lot, with a 50% discount for hedging transactions. A market - making mechanism is introduced to improve market liquidity [9][10]. 3.3 Core Functions and Market Value of Coking Coal Options 3.3.1 Risk Management Function: From Passive Hedging to Active Strategy Management - Coking coal options can help industrial customers transform from "passive risk hedging" to "active strategy management". Their non - linear return characteristics can cover tail risks that futures cannot handle, and option buyers only need to pay the premium without the pressure of additional margin, improving capital efficiency [11]. - Options and futures can be combined to form diversified strategies, allowing enterprises to customize strategies according to different market conditions [11]. 3.3.2 Market Function: Improving Liquidity and Pricing Efficiency - The American exercise mechanism and various trading instructions of coking coal options reduce trading friction and attract more participants, enhancing market activity. The implied volatility (IV) reflects market expectations of future fluctuations, making prices more in line with actual supply - demand and sentiment changes. Options are more sensitive to short - term fluctuations, promoting a more efficient and transparent pricing system in the coal - coking - steel industry chain [12]. 3.4 Application and Practical Cases in the Option Industry 3.4.1 Enterprises' Pain Points - Coking enterprises, coal - washing enterprises, and mixed - ownership enterprises in the coking coal industry chain face problems such as profit erosion due to price fluctuations, weak anti - risk ability, and insufficient risk mitigation ability. Traditional futures hedging has limitations in dealing with extreme market risks and complex scenarios [13][14]. 3.4.2 Typical Application Scenarios - Inventory hedging: Coking enterprises can buy put options to lock in the minimum liquidation price of inventory while retaining the potential for inventory appreciation [15]. - Virtual inventory construction: When the coking coal price is low, enterprises can sell out - of - the - money put options to optimize procurement and form a low - cost virtual inventory [15]. - Hedging of option - embedded trades: Enterprises can use on - exchange options to hedge the price - fluctuation risks in option - embedded trade contracts [15]. - Optimization of hedging: Coal - washing enterprises can adopt a composite hedging model of "mainly futures, supplemented by options" to improve risk - control efficiency [16]. 3.5 Initial Strategy Reference for Coking Coal Options Listing 3.5.1 Coking Coal Market Analysis - The current coking coal market has stable supply and demand but with divergent expectations. Before the Spring Festival, winter - storage demand supports prices, but high Mongolian coal customs clearance, stable domestic coal - mine operation, and expected increase in Australian coal imports suppress price increases. The main - contract price fluctuates between 1100 - 1300 yuan/ton [17]. 3.5.2 Coking Coal Volatility Analysis - The historical volatility (HV) of coking coal has a long - term average of about 30.07%, and short - term HV fluctuates around this level. In extreme events, HV can rise above 50%. At the initial stage of coking coal options listing, the implied volatility (IV) may be higher than the historical volatility, and it is expected to form a more stable relationship with HV as the market develops [18]. 3.5.3 Strategies for the Listing Day and Initial Stage of Coking Coal Options - There are two strategies: the time - value - earning strategy and the relatively aggressive option - buying strategy, which are based on the price range and implied volatility level of coking coal [2][19].
