Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Steel Products (Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil)**: Last week, rebar's apparent demand and production decreased, and inventory continued to decline. Hot - rolled coil inventory also decreased but remained significantly higher than historical levels. Due to a sharp decline in steel mill margins and the end of the consumption peak, steel mills may cut production more than normal seasonal levels, potentially triggering a negative feedback loop. Recently, coal - coke and iron ore prices have weakened, reducing cost support for steel. Technically, rebar and hot - rolled coil showed a short - term rapid rise but faced resistance from the 60 - day moving average and the upper Bollinger Band. The mid - term downward trend remains unchanged [2]. - **Iron Ore**: Last week, the sample steel mills' hot metal production increased slightly, but the output of the five major steel products continued to decline. With the arrival of the consumption off - season, hot metal production is likely to decline seasonally, and steel mills' production cuts will suppress raw material prices. On the supply side, global shipments have decreased from their peak, and port inventory is rising, suppressing the futures price. The slow inventory reduction of steel products also dampens market sentiment. Technically, the 01 - contract price broke through the middle Bollinger Band but faced resistance from the dense trading area, remaining in a wide - range oscillation at a relatively high level [5]. 3. Summary by Directory Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - **Prices**: Rebar and hot - rolled coil futures and spot prices showed different trends. For example, the rebar futures price decreased slightly compared to the previous day but increased compared to last week. The hot - rolled coil futures price also decreased slightly from the previous day but increased from last week. Some spot prices increased, while others decreased [3]. - **Production and Profitability**: The 247 - steel - mill blast furnace operating rate was 83.13%, and the daily average hot metal output was 236.88 million tons. The proportion of profitable steel mills was 38.96%. National rebar and hot - rolled coil production decreased last week, with rebar production dropping by 4.10% and hot - rolled coil production by 1.41% [3]. - **Inventory**: The social and steel - mill inventories of the five major steel products decreased. Rebar social and steel - mill inventories decreased by 2.34% and 3.85% respectively, while hot - rolled coil social inventory decreased slightly by 0.01%, and steel - mill inventory increased by 0.12% [3]. - **Apparent Demand**: The apparent demand for the five major steel products decreased by 0.73% compared to last week, with rebar and hot - rolled coil showing similar downward trends [3]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Maintain a wait - and - see approach, avoid chasing up or selling down. Wait patiently for price corrections before taking long - term positions for mid - term trading [2]. Iron Ore - **Prices**: Spot and futures prices of iron ore increased compared to the previous day and last week. For example, the DCE iron ore主力 contract settlement price increased by 0.44% compared to the previous day and 3.80% compared to last week [5]. - **Supply and Demand**: Demand is expected to decline as steel mills cut production. Supply - side global shipments are decreasing, and port inventory is rising. The arrival volume is expected to decline in the future [5]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Maintain a wait - and - see approach, wait patiently for price corrections before taking long - term positions for mid - term trading [5]. Industry News - **Steel Mill Maintenance**: Shanxi Gaoyi plans to shut down a 1380m³ blast furnace for maintenance on November 23, affecting daily hot metal production by about 0.45 million tons and wire rod production by about 0.5 million tons [7]. - **Iron Ore Inventory**: The total inventory of imported iron ore at 47 Chinese ports decreased by 20.04 million tons compared to last Monday.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The domestic and international macro environment is in a vacuum, with the core focus of the fundamentals on the domestic demand side. The supply side remains stable with a slight increase. Currently in the seasonal production - reduction period, overall demand is on a marginal decline. However, considering the low inventory level at the steel - mill end, large basis rate, and significant internal - external price difference, the current price is expected to be at a relatively low level. In the short term, there's no need to be overly pessimistic. Overall, the price is expected to move down but remain range - bound [2]. - The price is expected to operate within a range. The main contract of Dalian Iron Ore Futures is expected to be in the range of 750 - 785 yuan/ton, corresponding to an external market price of about 100.5 - 104.5 US dollars/ton. The strategy is to conduct range operations and sell put options [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Supply - External iron ore shipments declined on a week - on - week basis but remained at a high level year - on - year, with the supply - side support remaining weak. As of the week ending November 10, the total global iron ore shipments were 3,069.0 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 144.8 million tons. The total shipments from Australia and Brazil were 2,548.6 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 210.6 million tons. From the perspective of the 5 - week average shipments, the global iron ore shipments were 3,242.3 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 216 million tons. The arrival volume at 47 ports in China was 2,797.6 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 295.3 million tons [2]. Demand - The loss - making range of domestic blast - furnace steel mills continues to expand. In addition, environmental protection restrictions in Handan have been tightened, leading to an increase in the number of blast - furnace overhauls. Multiple regions such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, and Northeast China have seen a decline in demand and losses. Although the number of blast - furnace restarts in North China has increased, due to the sintering restriction policy in North China, the blast - furnace operating rate has increased while the molten iron output has decreased. Overall, domestic iron ore demand has shown a trend of decline due to environmental protection factors and shrinking production profits, which is in line with the seasonal production - reduction pattern. There is also an expectation of seasonal production cuts by steel mills in regions such as Xinjiang in the later stage. It is likely that the molten iron output will continue to decline slowly [2]. Inventory - Under the pattern of strong supply and weak demand, the inventory at domestic ports has continued to accumulate. In the short term, the pressure on the supply side remains, and although the decline rate of the demand side may slow down, it is still in a downward cycle. As of November 7, the total inventory of imported iron ore at 45 ports across the country was 14,898.83 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 356.35 million tons and a year - on - year decrease of 370.23 million tons [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The domestic and international macro environments are in a vacuum. The core focus of the fundamentals is on the domestic demand side. The supply side generally shows a steady increase. In the short - term, it is a seasonal production cut, and overall, the demand is in a marginal decline. However, the inventory level at the steel mill end is low, and the basis rate and internal - external price difference are large. The current price is expected to be at a relatively low level. In the short - term, there is no need to be overly pessimistic. Overall, the price center is expected to move down but maintain a range - bound oscillation [3] - The price will operate within a range. The main contract of iron ore futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange will be in the range of 750 - 785 yuan/ton, corresponding to the foreign market price of about 100.5 - 104.5 US dollars/ton. The strategy is range operation and selling put options [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macroeconomic and Policy - Both domestic and international macro environments are in a vacuum. The pricing of industrial products has returned to their own fundamentals. Under the weak reality environment, the black series is generally under pressure, and the pattern of strong external and weak internal is expected to continue. The next policy game window is the Central Economic Work Conference in December. The 14th Five - Year Plan focuses on new - quality productivity, and the old kinetic energy is mainly for support, so domestic - demand commodities lack policy drive [2] Supply - The overseas iron ore shipment has decreased month - on - month but remains at a high level year - on - year. The support from the supply side remains weak. As of the week ending November 10, the global iron ore shipment was 30.69 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.448 million tons. The total shipment from Australia and Brazil was 25.486 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.106 million tons. The 5 - week average shipment of global iron ore was 32.423 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.16 million tons. The arrival volume at 47 ports in China was 27.976 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.953 million tons [2] Demand - The loss range of domestic blast furnace steel mills continues to expand. The environmental protection restrictions in Handan have been tightened, and the number of blast furnace overhauls has increased. In many regions such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, and the Northeast, due to the decline in demand and losses, although the number of blast furnace restarts in North China has increased, the blast furnace operating rate has increased under the sintering restriction policy in North China, but the molten iron output has decreased. Overall, the domestic iron ore demand has shown a trend decline due to environmental protection factors and the contraction of production profits, which is in line with the seasonal production cut rule. Later, there is still an expectation of seasonal production cuts in steel mills in regions such as Xinjiang, and the molten iron output is likely to maintain a slow decline [2] Inventory - Under the pattern of strong supply and weak demand, the domestic port inventory continues to accumulate. In the short - term, the pressure on the supply side remains, and the decline rate of the demand side may slow down but is generally in a downward cycle. As of November 7, the total inventory of imported iron ore at 45 ports in the country was 148.9883 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.5635 million tons and a year - on - year decrease of 3.7023 million tons [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "oscillation" [7]. Core Viewpoints - At the beginning of this week, the macro and policy fronts "paused", and the subsequent inventory pressure corresponding to the high arrival of iron ore made the iron ore price relatively under pressure. After entering November, the molten iron output will decline seasonally, weakening the demand support for the furnace charge end. However, seasonal production cuts rather than negative - feedback production cuts will put relatively limited downward pressure on the prices of industrial chain varieties. If the macro and policy levels release positive news later, it will still support the prices of sector varieties [1][2]. - The fundamentals of the industrial chain will gradually weaken marginally. Since the decline in molten iron is mainly due to the seasonal production cuts of steel enterprises, the negative feedback on sector varieties is limited. It is recommended to seize the opportunity of macro and policy introduction and pay attention to phased upward opportunities [7]. Summary by Directory Iron Element - The arrival rhythm of iron ore is significantly disturbed, and the port inventory is rapidly accumulating. The fundamentals of iron ore are not optimistic, but the decline of ore price is limited. The scrap steel fundamentals have no prominent contradictions, and it is expected that the scrap steel price will fluctuate following the finished products in the short term [2]. Carbon Element - The cost support for coke continues to strengthen, and the third round of price increase is expected to be implemented. However, under the pressure on both coking and steel mill profits, the price is expected to oscillate. The supply of coking coal is difficult to improve, and the short - term fundamentals are healthy, with the price expected to oscillate [2]. Alloy - The high steel output and stable cost support the prices of ferromanganese - silicon and ferrosilicon in the short term, but the supply of ferromanganese - silicon is expected to remain high, with inventory pressure and limited upward driving force. The supply - demand relationship of ferrosilicon is relatively loose, suppressing the upward price space [3]. Glass and Soda Ash - Some production lines in the Shahe area stopped production, and the supply side faces short - term downward risks. If the production and sales remain weak, the price will return to weak oscillation. In the long term, market - oriented production capacity reduction is needed, and the price may continue to decline oscillating. The over - supply pattern of soda ash remains unchanged, and it is expected to fluctuate widely following the macro situation, with the long - term price center of gravity moving down [3]. Specific Product Analysis Steel - The spot market trading is weak, and the speculative sentiment is poor. The molten iron output declines, the five major steel products output increases, the demand continues to recover, and the inventory continues to decline. However, the inventory level is still higher than the same period last year. The short - term market is expected to be under pressure, and attention should be paid to the macro - policy and supply disturbances [9]. Iron Ore - The spot price has weakened significantly. Overseas mine shipments decreased, and arrivals increased significantly. The demand for molten iron decreased, and the port inventory accumulated rapidly. The short - term price is expected to oscillate [9][10]. Scrap Steel - The supply is slightly tight, the overall daily consumption decreases, and the inventory is de - stocked. The short - term price is expected to fluctuate following the finished products [11]. Coke - The cost support is strengthening, and the third - round price increase is expected to be implemented. However, both coking and steel mill profits are under pressure, and the price is expected to oscillate [12][13]. Coking Coal - The supply is difficult to improve, and the downstream and middle - stream procurement is continuous. The coal mine inventory has reached a low level in recent years, and the short - term price is expected to oscillate [14]. Glass - The short - term supply may decline, but the demand is weak, and the middle - and downstream inventories are moderately high. The short - term price may return to weak oscillation, and in the long term, it is expected to decline oscillating [15]. Soda Ash - The supply - demand fundamentals have no obvious changes, and the industry is at the bottom of the cycle. The cost support is strengthened, and the price bottom support is strong. It is expected to fluctuate widely following the macro situation, with the long - term price center of gravity moving down [16][17]. Ferromanganese - Silicon - The short - term cost is stable, and the high steel output supports the price. However, the supply is expected to remain high, the inventory pressure is difficult to relieve, and the upward driving force for the price is insufficient [18]. Ferrosilicon - The high steel output and increased cost support the price, but the supply - demand relationship is loose, suppressing the upward price space [19].
