1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The main contract price of rebar showed a weak oscillation, with a daily decline of 0.51%. In the current situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of rebar are weak, and industrial contradictions continue to accumulate. Steel prices are likely to face downward pressure. The relative positives are rising costs and peak - season expectations. It is expected that steel prices will continue the weak bottom - seeking trend, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated, with a daily decline of 0.03%. Currently, the supply of hot - rolled coil has returned to a high level, while demand is strong, and the fundamentals are stable, supporting relatively strong price movements. However, the improvement in demand needs to be tracked. If demand weakens under high supply, industrial contradictions are likely to accumulate, and prices will face downward pressure again. Key attention should be paid to demand changes [4]. - The main contract price of iron ore oscillated weakly, with a daily decline of 0.81%. Currently, the demand for iron ore has good resilience, and the supply has shrunk in the short term. The fundamentals are stable, supporting the high - level and relatively strong oscillation of ore prices. However, the valuation is relatively high, and the upside space is cautiously optimistic. Attention should be paid to the performance of steel [4]. 3.

The weekly output of rebar decreased by 67,500 tons, continuing the high - level decline trend, but the production reduction space during the peak season is questionable. Inventory has continued to accumulate to a high level, and the supply pressure relief is limited. Demand has continued to be weak, with the weekly apparent demand decreasing by 40,000 tons. High - frequency transactions are at a low level. It is expected that steel prices will continue the weak bottom - seeking trend, and attention should be paid to demand performance [38]. - Hot - rolled coil: Supply has returned to a high level, with the weekly output increasing by 109,000 tons. Demand has improved, with the weekly apparent demand increasing by 208,000 tons, but the continuous decline in the output of the main downstream cold - rolled products has led to the accumulation of industrial contradictions. The improvement in demand needs to be tracked. High supply may lead to price pressure if demand weakens [39]. - Iron ore: The supply - demand pattern has changed. The terminal consumption of ore has decreased significantly due to production restrictions. The daily average pig iron output and imported ore consumption of sample steel mills have both decreased. The supply of foreign ore has returned to a high level. The demand - side positive effect is weakening, and the upside space of ore prices is cautiously optimistic. Attention should be paid to the performance of steel [40].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Rebar**: The main contract price of rebar oscillated upwards with a daily increase of 1.06%, and both trading volume and open interest expanded. Currently, both supply and demand of rebar have weakened, the fundamentals have not improved, inventory has been increasing, and steel prices are under pressure. With the relatively favorable peak - season expectation and rising costs, steel prices will continue to oscillate to find the bottom, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated higher with a daily increase of 1.03%, and trading volume and open interest expanded. At present, production has decreased due to production restrictions but can recover quickly. In contrast, demand resilience is weakening, the supply - demand imbalance in the hot - rolled coil industry continues to accumulate, inventory growth has widened, and steel prices continue to be under pressure. The relatively favorable factors are peak - season expectation and cost situation, and the short - term trend will continue to oscillate. Attention should be paid to demand performance [4]. - **Iron ore**: The main contract price of iron ore oscillated at a high level with a daily increase of 0.77%, and trading volume and open interest shrank. Currently, iron ore demand is declining while supply is rising, the fundamentals of iron ore are likely to weaken, and high - valued ore prices continue to be under pressure. The relatively favorable factors are peak - season expectation and the intervention of arbitrage funds. The short - term ore price will maintain a high - level oscillation, and beware of the intensification of industrial contradictions [4]. 3.
