This week, the apparent demand for thread steel rebounded significantly, production was relatively stable, and inventory resumed a downward trend. The demand for hot - rolled coil also recovered, production declined, and inventory resumed a downward trend. Iron ore production is at a high level, and the supply pressure is still large. As the off - season of demand approaches, the terminal's carrying capacity needs to be observed. Domestic demand in downstream industries is still weak, manufacturing prosperity has declined, and real estate sales recovery is fluctuating [1] Iron Ore - Today's iron ore futures market fluctuated. On the supply side, the global shipment of iron ore fluctuated normally, with no obvious increase for the time being. The domestic arrival volume decreased, and the national port inventory decreased.

It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [5] Silicomanganese - The price of silicomanganese fluctuated narrowly. The national manganese ore port inventory has been continuously rising, with a cumulative increase of more than 300,000 tons last week. It is estimated that about 50,000 tons of South32 Australian ore will arrive at the port by the end of this month.

The recent tariff reductions are expected to restore profitability for companies heavily exposed to the US market, with recommendations for Sungrow and CATL [3][6] Photovoltaic Sector - The impact of tariff adjustments on photovoltaic companies is deemed limited, as most domestic companies export through overseas bases. The adjustment is expected to improve market sentiment and support valuation recovery, particularly benefiting Canadian Solar due to its US production capacity [4][6] AIDC Sector - Concerns regarding reduced overseas demand due to high tariffs have diminished. The recent tariff cuts are expected to restore valuations for AIDC-related companies, with recommendations for Megmeet and Huaneng Electric [5][6] Company Recommendations - CATL: Expected to maintain a strong market position with a projected net profit of 66.62 billion CNY in 2025 [13] - Sungrow: Anticipated revenue growth of 7.76% in 2024, with a strong outlook for its energy storage business [13] - Canadian Solar: Despite a projected decline in net profit due to tariffs, its US production capacity is expected to mitigate some impacts [13] - Megmeet: Expected to benefit from its diversified layout and strong demand in data center products [13] - Huaneng Electric: Anticipated growth in its wind and energy storage segments, maintaining a positive outlook [14]
