Report Title - Steel & Iron Ore | Daily Report, dated October 13, 2025 [3] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Views - **Rebar**: The main contract futures price fluctuated downward, with a daily decline of 0.77%, and both trading volume and open interest increased. Currently, rebar supply is contracting while demand is weak. With a supply-demand imbalance, industrial contradictions are accumulating. Holiday inventory increased significantly, pressuring steel prices again. The relative positive factor is cost support. It is expected that rebar will continue to oscillate and seek a bottom, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4]. - **Hot-rolled coil**: The main contract futures price fluctuated weakly, with a daily decline of 0.88%, and both trading volume and open interest increased. At present, the supply pressure of hot-rolled coils is relatively large, and there are concerns about demand. Industrial contradictions are accumulating, inventory has increased significantly, and hot-rolled coil prices will continue to be under pressure and run weakly. Attention should be paid to the possibility of intensified industrial contradictions caused by weakening demand and demand performance [4]. - **Iron ore**: The main contract futures price fluctuated strongly, with a daily increase of 1.13%, and both trading volume and open interest increased. Currently, iron ore demand is performing well, providing support for ore prices. However, supply is at a high level, and demand resilience is weakening. The fundamentals are expected to deteriorate. Coupled with weakening market sentiment due to tariff disturbances, the upward driving force for high-valued ore prices is not strong. It is expected to maintain high-level oscillatory operation, and attention should be paid to steel performance [4]. Summary by Directory 1. Industry Dynamics - **Foreign trade data**: In the first three quarters of this year, China's total goods trade imports and exports reached 33.61 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4%.

Market Outlook - **Rebar**: During the holiday, both supply and demand of rebar weakened. Construction steel mill production was weak, and weekly rebar production decreased by 36,200 tons month-on-month. Supply contracted to a relatively low level, but the space for production cuts during the peak season was questionable, and inventory was high, so the positive effect was not strong. At the same time, rebar demand was weak during the holiday, weekly apparent demand decreased month-on-month, and high-frequency indicators were all at low levels in recent years. The downstream industry showed no signs of improvement, and weak demand would continue to suppress steel prices. It is expected that rebar will continue to oscillate and seek a bottom, and attention should be paid to post-holiday demand performance [35]. - **Hot-rolled coil**: The supply-demand pattern continued to weaken. Plate steel mill production was weakly stable, and weekly production decreased by 14,000 tons month-on-month, but it was still at a high level for the year, and inventory was high, so supply pressure was relatively large, continuing to pressure steel prices. At the same time, hot-rolled coil demand was weak during the holiday, and weekly apparent demand decreased by 336,400 tons month-on-month. The relative positive factor was that the production of the main downstream cold-rolled products remained at a high level, providing support for hot-rolled coil demand. However, it should be noted that the industrial contradictions in the cold-rolled industry were not alleviated, and combined with limited improvement in external demand, there were concerns about hot-rolled coil demand. Hot-rolled coil prices will continue to be under pressure and run weakly, and attention should be paid to the possibility of intensified industrial contradictions caused by weakening demand [35]. - **Iron ore**: There were changes in both supply and demand. Steel mill production was stabilizing, and the terminal consumption of iron ore remained at a high level. Last week, the daily average pig iron output and daily consumption of imported ore by sample steel mills showed mixed changes, with little overall change. Iron ore demand was performing well, but the industrial contradictions in the steel market were constantly accumulating, and the resilience was expected to weaken, so the positive effect was not strong. At the same time, domestic port arrivals continued to recover, while overseas miner shipments declined slightly, both maintaining high levels for the year. Overseas supply was high under high ore prices, and combined with the recovery of domestic ore supply after the holiday, the supply pressure of iron ore increased. It is expected that iron ore will maintain high-level oscillatory operation, and attention should be paid to steel performance [36].

Summary by Related Content 3.1 Variety View Reference - For the iron ore 2601 contract, the short - term view is weak oscillation, the medium - term view is oscillation, and the intraday view is bearish. The reference suggestion is to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is that tariff disturbances have affected the market, leading to a decline in ore prices under pressure [1]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - Trump's statement on imposing tariffs on Chinese goods on social media has weakened market sentiment and put pressure on risk funds. The supply - demand pattern of iron ore has changed little, with stable steel mill production and high terminal consumption of ore, which supports the ore price. However, contradictions in the steel market are accumulating, and the positive effect will weaken. The arrival of iron ore at domestic ports during the holiday was high, overseas ore shipments were active at high prices, and domestic ore supply will resume after the holiday, increasing supply pressure. In general, the ore demand is okay, supporting the price, but supply remains high, demand resilience is weakening, the fundamentals of the ore market are expected to deteriorate, and the market is weakening due to tariff disturbances, so the ore price will fall from a high level in the short - term. Attention should be paid to the performance of steel [2].
