Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views of Rebar 2510 are shock, shock, and shock - weak respectively. It is recommended to pay attention to the pressure at the MA10 line, as industrial contradictions accumulate and steel prices are under pressure [2]. - In the situation of both supply and demand increasing, the fundamentals of rebar have not improved substantially. During the off - season, steel prices are under pressure. With the game between long and short factors, it is expected that steel prices will continue the shock adjustment trend, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalog Variety Viewpoint Reference - For Rebar 2510, the short - term, medium - term, and intraday trends are shock, shock, and shock - weak respectively. The view is to pay attention to the pressure at the MA10 line, and the core logic is that industrial contradictions accumulate and steel prices are under pressure. There are also explanations for price change calculations and definitions of shock - strong/weak [2]. Market Driving Logic - Both the supply and demand sides of rebar have increased. The weekly output of rebar has risen significantly, and the supply pressure has increased. The rebar demand has also improved, but the improvement in off - season demand is of doubtful sustainability. The fundamentals have not improved substantially. The relative positives are the disturbance of production restriction expectations and the strong boost of coking coal and coke. The steel price is expected to continue the shock adjustment trend [3].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating is provided in the report. 2) Core View of the Report The steel price of rebar is expected to continue the weak and volatile operation, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills. The short - term and intraday views of rebar 2510 are weak and volatile, and the medium - term view is volatile. It is recommended to pay attention to the pressure at the MA5 line [2][3]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Variety View Reference - For rebar 2510, the short - term view is weak and volatile, the medium - term view is volatile, and the intraday view is also weak and volatile. The reference view is to pay attention to the pressure at the MA5 line, with the core logic being that the fundamentals are weakly stable and the steel price oscillates weakly [2]. Market Driving Logic - The fundamentals of rebar continue the seasonal weakness. The weekly output of rebar has a slight month - on - month decline, and the supply is weakly stable. However, the profit per ton of the variety is good, so the sustainability of production reduction is not strong. - The demand for rebar has weakened again. The high - frequency indicators have a month - on - month decline and are at a low level in the same period in recent years. The off - season characteristics remain, and the weak demand easily puts pressure on the steel price. - Under the situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of rebar are weak, and the steel price is under pressure. But due to the low - inventory pattern, the industrial contradictions are not significant, and the downward space is limited [3].

It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is that strong raw materials boost the price of steel, causing it to oscillate higher [2]. - The rebar fundamentals continue the seasonal weakness. Although the steel price is prone to pressure in the off - season, positive expectations are fermenting, and the strong raw materials provide cost support. The market sentiment is warm, supporting the steel price to continue the oscillating upward trend. Attention should be paid to policy changes [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Variety Viewpoint Reference - For rebar 2510, the short - term trend is a rise, the medium - term is oscillating on the strong side, and the intraday is oscillating on the weak side. The reference is to focus on the MA5 line support, with the core logic of strong raw materials boosting steel prices [2]. Market Driving Logic - The strong performance of coking coal and coke boosts market sentiment, and the steel price continues the strong upward trend. However, the supply - demand pattern of rebar has not improved. The rebar output has decreased month - on - month, and the supply continues to shrink. But due to good profit per ton and the return of production from some varieties, the output will rise again, with limited positive effects. The rebar demand continues to be weakly stable. The weekly apparent demand has decreased month - on - month, and although high - frequency transactions have increased due to speculative demand, both are at the low levels in the same period in recent years, showing obvious off - season characteristics [3]. - Currently, the rebar fundamentals continue the seasonal weakness. The steel price is prone to pressure in the off - season, but positive expectations are fermenting, and the strong raw materials provide cost support. The market sentiment is warm, supporting the steel price to continue the oscillating upward trend. Attention should be paid to policy changes [3].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The short - term view of rebar 2510 is a rise, the medium - term view is a strong - biased oscillation, and the intraday view is a weak - biased oscillation. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is that the optimistic sentiment persists and the steel price oscillates upwards [2]. - The rebar fundamentals continue the seasonal weakness. The steel price is still prone to pressure during the off - season, but the current industrial contradictions are not significant. The expectation of policy benefits boosts market sentiment, and the strong raw materials provide cost support, so the steel price continues the oscillatory upward trend. Attention should be paid to policy changes [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalog Variety View Reference - For rebar 2510, short - term is rising, medium - term is strong - biased oscillation, intraday is weak - biased oscillation. The view is to pay attention to the MA5 line support, with the core logic of persistent optimistic sentiment and rising steel prices [2]. Market Driving Logic - The optimistic sentiment persists and the steel price rises strongly. The supply - demand pattern of rebar is weakly stable. The production of construction steel mills weakens, the rebar output declines continuously, and the supply contracts. However, the profit per ton of the variety is good and some varieties start to switch production, so the positive effect is not strong [3]. - The rebar demand also weakens. The high - frequency demand indicators remain at the low level in the same period in recent years, showing obvious off - season characteristics. The downstream industries have not improved, and the weak demand is likely to put pressure on the steel price [3]. - The rebar fundamentals continue the seasonal weakness. The steel price is still prone to pressure during the off - season, but the current industrial contradictions are not significant. The expectation of policy benefits boosts market sentiment, and the strong raw materials provide cost support, so the steel price continues the oscillatory upward trend. Attention should be paid to policy changes [3].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - In the short term, the steel market is affected by seasonal factors, with steel demand facing seasonal weakening pressure. The market is also concerned about future export demand. For steel, it is necessary to pay attention to short - term steel mill production cuts and the impact of the Sino - US trade war on the market. For iron ore, the short - term high hot metal output and low steel mill inventory provide strong support, but the marginal impact of weakening terminal demand on hot metal needs to be monitored [5][7][9]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs **[Ribbed Bars]** - **Futures**: The 10 - contract of ribbed bars continued its rebound trend driven by the reduction of short - position main players.

The short - term high hot metal output and low steel mill inventory provide strong support, but the impact of weakening terminal demand needs to be monitored [12].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints - The short - term view for rebar 2510 is a rise, the medium - term view is a slightly bullish oscillation, and the intraday view is a slightly bearish oscillation. Investors should focus on the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is that the market sentiment is bullish and steel prices are oscillating upwards [2]. - The supply and demand of rebar continue to weaken. Production is decreasing due to maintenance and production conversion, while demand is in the seasonal low with weak high - frequency demand indicators. However, low inventory, policy support expectations, and strong raw materials providing cost support are positive factors. Steel prices are expected to remain stable in oscillation, and the implementation of policies should be monitored [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Variety Viewpoint Reference - For rebar 2510, short - term: rise; medium - term: slightly bullish oscillation; intraday: slightly bearish oscillation. The reference is to focus on the support at the MA5 line, with the core logic being strong market sentiment and oscillating upward steel prices. The calculation of price changes is based on night - session closing prices for products with night sessions and the previous day's closing prices for those without, and the day - session closing prices as the end price. The definitions of rise, fall, and oscillation are also provided [2]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - The supply and demand of rebar are both weak. Production has decreased to a low level due to maintenance and production conversion, but the sustainability of production cuts needs to be tracked as the profit per ton of the product is good. Demand continues to decline seasonally, with high - frequency demand indicators at a low level in recent years, showing obvious off - season characteristics and putting pressure on steel prices. The low inventory, policy support expectations, and strong raw materials providing cost support are positive factors. The steel price is expected to remain stable in oscillation, and the implementation of policies should be monitored [3].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - For the finished product, short - term observation is recommended, and try shorting at high prices after a rise [2] - For raw materials, the view is to take a short - term wait - and - see approach or try shorting on rebounds [2] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Finished Product - In early July, the average daily output of crude steel from key steel enterprises was 2.097 million tons, a 1.5% decrease from the previous period; the steel inventory was 15.07 million tons, a 2.4% decrease from the previous ten - day period and a 4.6% decrease from the same ten - day period last month [2] - This week, the average含税 cost of steel billets from mainstream sample steel mills in Tangshan was 2,775 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 16 yuan/ton. Compared with the current ex - factory price of common square billets of 2,950 yuan/ton on July 16, the average profit of steel mills was 175 yuan/ton [2] - The finished product continued to adjust and consolidate yesterday. After continuous rebounds, steel prices slowed down in the past two trading days. The latest real - estate data was weak, and demand restrained prices. There are still important domestic meetings recently, and the rebound driven by sentiment is not over [2] Raw Materials - The view is to take a short - term wait - and - see approach or try shorting on rebounds [2]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific investment rating for the industry is provided in the report [1][2][3] Group 2: Core View of the Report - The report suggests short - term observation or short - selling on rebounds. It recommends short - term waiting and then trying short positions when prices rise [1][2][3] Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Information Production and Sales Data - In June 2025, China's crude steel output was 83.18 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 9.2% [2] - On July 15, the average cost of 76 independent electric arc furnace construction steel mills was 3,287 yuan/ton, with no change compared to the previous day, and the average profit was a loss of 93 yuan/ton, while the valley - electricity profit was 10 yuan/ton [2] - In June 2025, 137,570 forklifts of various types were sold, a year - on - year increase of 23.1%. From January to June 2025, a total of 739,334 forklifts were sold, a year - on - year increase of 11.7% [2] Market Performance and Suggestions - The finished steel market fluctuated yesterday and declined in the afternoon. Steel prices rebounded due to anti - involution, but the recently announced real estate data is still poor, and weak demand remains the main factor dragging down prices. In the short term, demand is unlikely to pick up seasonally. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and try short positions on rebounds [2] Factors to Watch - Future factors to watch include macro - policies, supply - side production cuts, and downstream demand [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - This week, the inventory of the five major steel products decreased slightly by 0.35 million tons to 13.3958 million tons, showing a continuous slight decline. Among them, the social inventory decreased slightly, while the steel mill inventory increased slightly by 0.42%. In terms of production, the output of the five major products decreased by 124,000 tons week-on-week. Only the output of medium and heavy plates increased month-on-month, while the output of rebar and wire rods both decreased by more than 2% month-on-month, indicating that the effects of the production restriction policy are gradually emerging. The inventory showed mixed trends, but the apparent demand for the five major products decreased month-on-month, with wire rods and cold-rolled products leading the decline [2]. - In general, steel prices are still prone to pressure during the off-season. The relatively positive factor is that the inventory is at a low level, and there are not many real contradictions. Moreover, recent policy benefits have fermented, and steel mills have increased their production cut efforts. The subsequent reduction in steel production will gradually become apparent, and the industrial fundamentals will improve. Coupled with the strong cost support from raw materials, it is expected that steel prices will maintain a relatively strong operating trend in the short term. The previous low points may become history, but the upside potential still needs to be observed. Attention should be paid to policy developments [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Price Performance 3.1.1 Futures and Spot Price Trends - Futures market: This week, the main rebar contract RB2510 rose significantly, closing at 3,132 yuan/ton, up 47 yuan/ton week-on-week, with a position of 2.23 million lots, a decrease of 7,200 lots. The main hot-rolled coil contract HC2510 also rose significantly, closing at 3,262 yuan/ton, up 54 yuan/ton week-on-week, with a position of 1.5971 million lots, an increase of 1,800 lots [5]. - Spot market: This week, the spot price of rebar shifted upward. As of July 11, the price of HRB400E 20MM in Beijing decreased by 10 yuan/ton to 3,150 yuan/ton compared with last week. The spot price of hot-rolled coils shifted downward. As of July 11, the price of Benxi Steel 5.75*1500*C:Q235B in Tianjin increased by 50 yuan/ton to 3,180 yuan/ton compared with last week [6]. 3.1.2 Spread Changes - Futures-spot spread: This week, the basis of the main rebar contract RB2510 compared with the HRB400E 20MM spot in Shanghai was 67 yuan/ton, a change of -31 yuan/ton compared with the previous week. The basis of the main hot-rolled coil contract HC2510 compared with the 5.5*1500*C:Q235B:Ansteel spot in Shanghai was 18 yuan/ton, a change of -31 yuan/ton compared with the previous week [10]. - Inter-month spread: This week, the spread between RB2601 and RB2510 was 28 yuan/ton, a change of +7 yuan/ton compared with the previous week. The spread between HC2601 and HC2510 was 10 yuan/ton, a change of +1 yuan/ton compared with the previous week [11]. - Rebar-hot rolled coil spread: This week, the spread between HC2510 and RB2510 was 139 yuan/ton, a change of +10 yuan/ton compared with the previous week. The spread between HC2601 and RB2601 was 121 yuan/ton, a change of +4 yuan/ton compared with the previous week [12]. 3.2 Supply and Demand Analysis 3.2.1 Supply - This week, the blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills surveyed by Mysteel was 83.15%, a decrease of 0.31 percentage points week-on-week and an increase of 0.65 percentage points year-on-year. The profitability rate of steel mills was 59.74%, an increase of 0.43 percentage points week-on-week and an increase of 22.94 percentage points year-on-year. The daily average pig iron output was 2.3981 million tons, a decrease of 10,400 tons week-on-week and an increase of 15,200 tons year-on-year [19]. - This week, the total weekly output of the five major steel products was 8.7272 million tons, a decrease of 124,400 tons week-on-week. The effects of the production restriction policy are gradually emerging. Only the output of medium and heavy plates increased month-on-month, while the output of rebar and wire rods both decreased by more than 2% month-on-month [19]. 3.2.2 Demand - Last week, the US government imposed a "tariff bomb" on 14 countries. US President Trump posted several letters on social media, stating that starting from August 1, import products from 14 countries will be subject to tariffs ranging from 25% to 40%. The tariffs on China remain the same as before. Against the background of the current rush to export, the demand for hot-rolled coils is still stronger than that for rebar. Coupled with the arrival of the seasonal off-season demand for building materials, this pattern is expected to continue for some time. There are signs of easing in the Sino-US trade friction and expectations of future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. It is expected that the implementation path of the off-season logic will be less smooth, and demand will maintain a certain level of resilience [28]. 3.2.3 Inventory - This week, the social inventory of steel products in major cities across the country was 9.1401 million tons, a decrease of 21,200 tons week-on-week. The inventory of steel mills by variety was 4.2557 million tons, an increase of 17,700 tons week-on-week. The total social + steel mill inventory was 13.3958 million tons, a decrease of 350 tons week-on-week. The overall inventory is at a low level compared to the same period, continuing a certain de-stocking trend [33]. 3.2.4 Profit - This week, the profitability rate of 247 steel mills surveyed by Mysteel increased slightly to 59.74%. The cost of electric arc furnace steel mills increased slightly by 15 yuan/ton to 3,262 yuan/ton. The steel price trend was relatively strong, and the price increase of rebar in many regions was greater than that of scrap steel. Profits have rebounded. The average profit of steel mills was -107 yuan/ton, and the valley electricity profit was -4 yuan/ton, an increase of 14 yuan/ton week-on-week [44]. 3.2.5 Raw Material Prices - This week, the prices of major raw materials generally stabilized and rebounded. Among them, the price of Tangshan billet increased by 24 yuan/ton to 2,983 yuan/ton, and the price of 61.5% PB powder increased by 23 yuan/ton to 748 yuan/ton [53]. 3.3 Summary and Investment Suggestions - This week, the inventory of the five major steel products decreased slightly by 0.35 million tons to 13.3958 million tons, showing a continuous slight decline. Among them, the social inventory decreased slightly, while the steel mill inventory increased slightly by 0.42%. In terms of production, the output of the five major products decreased by 124,000 tons week-on-week. Only the output of medium and heavy plates increased month-on-month, while the output of rebar and wire rods both decreased by more than 2% month-on-month, indicating that the effects of the production restriction policy are gradually emerging. The inventory showed mixed trends, but the apparent demand for the five major products decreased month-on-month, with wire rods and cold-rolled products leading the decline [56]. - In general, steel prices are still prone to pressure during the off-season. The relatively positive factor is that the inventory is at a low level, and there are not many real contradictions. Moreover, recent policy benefits have fermented, and steel mills have increased their production cut efforts. The subsequent reduction in steel production will gradually become apparent, and the industrial fundamentals will improve. Coupled with the strong cost support from raw materials, it is expected that steel prices will maintain a relatively strong operating trend in the short term. The previous low points may become history, but the upside potential still needs to be observed. Attention should be paid to policy developments [56].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term and intraday view of rebar 2510 is oscillating and slightly stronger, and the medium - term view is oscillating. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is the fermentation of positive expectations, leading to an upward oscillation of steel prices [2]. - Rebar shows a situation of weak supply and demand, with the fundamentals remaining unchanged. However, due to low inventory, minor real - world contradictions, the fermentation of recent policy benefits, positive market sentiment, and cost support from strong raw materials, steel prices are expected to maintain a slightly stronger short - term trend, with a focus on policy developments [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Variety View Reference - For rebar 2510, the short - term view is oscillating and slightly stronger, the medium - term view is oscillating, and the intraday view is also oscillating and slightly stronger. The reference is to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line, and the core logic is the fermentation of positive expectations driving the upward oscillation of steel prices [2]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - On the supply side, construction steel mills have shifted production, rebar output has declined again, and supply has shrunk, but the sustainability is questionable. On the demand side, rebar demand continues its seasonal weakness, with weekly performance declining month - on - month, high - frequency trading volume significantly reduced, both at low levels in recent years, and the downstream industry shows no improvement, so the weak demand pattern remains unchanged [3]. - Overall, rebar has a situation of weak supply and demand, with unchanged fundamentals. During the off - season, steel prices are still prone to pressure. The relatively positive factors are low inventory, minor real - world contradictions, the fermentation of recent policy benefits, positive market sentiment, and cost support from strong raw materials. Steel prices are expected to maintain a slightly stronger short - term trend, and attention should be paid to policy conditions [3].
