Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided Group 2: Core Views - The iron ore market is expected to maintain a high - level volatile trend. The supply - demand pattern is stable, but there is a weakening expectation for demand, and the valuation is moderately high with limited upward driving force. Attention should be paid to the performance of finished products [1][2] Group 3: Summary by Related Content Variety View Reference - For the iron ore 2601 contract, the short - term and medium - term trends are expected to be volatile, and the intraday trend is expected to be weakly volatile. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is the stable supply - demand pattern and the high - level volatility of ore prices [1] Market Driving Logic - On the demand side, steel mills' production is stable, and ore demand is fair, providing support for ore prices. However, there are signs of production restrictions, and steel mills' profits are shrinking, weakening the positive effects. On the supply side, domestic port arrivals have declined, but overseas miners' shipments remain high. The expected arrivals of Australian and Brazilian ores are set to increase according to shipping schedules. Although domestic ore production is restricted, overall ore supply is stable. In summary, ore demand is okay but has a weakening expectation, supply is relatively stable, and the valuation is moderately high, resulting in limited upward driving force for ore prices [2]

Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating information is provided in the reports. Core Views Steel Industry - Hot-rolled coil prices broke through the support level, and there is an expectation of inventory accumulation from August to September. It is recommended to try shorting the October hot-rolled coil contract at 3380 - 3400 [1]. - Currently, steel mill production remains at a high level. Seasonal decline in rebar demand in August has led to an increase in inventory, with production higher than apparent demand. After the previous price increase, funds are betting on a decline in demand in the second half of the year [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The global iron ore shipment volume has increased significantly on a week-on-week basis, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has decreased. Based on recent shipment data, the subsequent average arrival volume is expected to recover [3]. - Considering the production restrictions of Hebei steel mills in the second half of the month, the molten iron output in August will decline slightly from the high level, with an average expected to be maintained at around 2.36 million tons per day. Steel mill inventory is increasing, and the restocking demand has weakened. It is recommended to short on rallies [3]. Coking Coal and Coke Industry - For coke, due to tight supply and demand, downstream steel mills still have restocking demand. There is still an expectation of a seventh round of price increase for coke. The futures price of coke is at a premium to the spot price, providing a hedging opportunity. The cost support of coking coal has weakened, and the previous bullish expectations may have been fully overdrawn [5]. - For coking coal, the spot fundamentals have returned to stable operation. The previous futures price increase has already factored in the expectation of coal mine production restrictions. It is recommended to short on rallies for speculation and conduct a reverse spread trade for the 9 - 1 contract [5].

Core Viewpoints - The iron ore price is expected to maintain a volatile and slightly stronger trend, and attention should be paid to the performance of finished steel products. The demand for iron ore has resilience, and the supply is weaker than expected, resulting in a stable fundamentals under the situation of weak supply and demand [2][3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Variety Viewpoint Reference - For the iron ore 2601 contract, the short - term view is volatile and slightly stronger, the medium - term view is volatile, and the intraday view is also volatile and slightly stronger. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is that the demand has good resilience and the ore price runs strongly [2]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - The market sentiment is warm, and the ore price continues to be strong. The fundamentals of iron ore are stable. Steel mill production is weakening, and the terminal consumption of ore continues to decline. However, due to the good profitability of steel mills, the high - frequency indicators remain at a relatively high level, and the demand has resilience, which supports the ore price. At the same time, the arrival of ore at domestic ports has declined again, the overseas miners' shipments have slightly decreased, and domestic ore production is weakening, so the ore supply is weak. The demand for iron ore is weakening, and the supply recovery is also lower than expected. Under the situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of ore run stably, and the good profitability of steel mills and the resilient demand continue to support the ore price [3].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Rebar**: The main contract price oscillated higher with a daily increase of 0.96%, and both trading volume and open interest decreased. The steel price was driven up by the resurgence of raw materials, but the fundamentals of rebar did not improve substantially under the situation of both supply and demand increasing. The steel price remained prone to pressure, and the upward driving force needed to be tracked. It is expected that the steel price will continue to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [4]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The main contract price showed a strong trend with a daily increase of 1.40%, trading volume decreased while open interest increased. Under the situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of hot - rolled coils continued to weaken, inventory increased and the growth rate expanded. However, the real - world contradictions were limited, and the strong upward movement of raw materials provided cost support. In the short term, the price will continue to oscillate higher, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [4]. - **Iron ore**: The main contract price rose strongly with a daily increase of 2.36%, the shift of the main contract was completed, and both trading volume and open interest increased. Although the demand for iron ore was weakening, the supply recovery was lower than expected, the fundamentals were stable, and the good profit situation of steel mills provided support for the ore price. It is expected that the ore price will maintain a high - level oscillation under the game of multiple and short factors, and attention should be paid to the performance of finished products [4]. 3.

Although the output of hot - rolled coils decreased due to the maintenance of plate mills, the sustainability of production reduction was questionable, and the positive effect of supply contraction was not strong. The demand for hot - rolled coils continued to weaken, and the weak demand put pressure on the price. It is expected that the steel price will continue to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [38]. - **Hot - rolled Coil**: Both supply and demand increased. The production of rebar reached a high level this year, and demand improved, but the sustainability of the improvement was questionable. The fundamentals of hot - rolled coils continued to weaken, but cost support existed. In the short term, the price will continue to oscillate higher, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [39]. - **Iron Ore**: The supply and demand pattern changed little. The consumption of steel mills decreased, but the profit situation was good, and the overall decline was not large. The supply of iron ore increased limitedly. It is expected that the ore price will maintain a high - level oscillation, and attention should be paid to the performance of finished products [39].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2) Core View of the Report The iron ore price is expected to maintain a high - level oscillating trend due to the game between long and short factors. The demand for iron ore is weakening while the supply is rising steadily. However, the good profitability of steel mills provides support for the iron ore price. Attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [2]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Variety View Reference - For the iron ore 2601 contract, the short - term view is oscillating, the medium - term view is oscillating, and the intraday view is oscillating with a slight upward bias. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA20 line. The core logic is that the demand has good resilience and the ore price is oscillating at a high level [1]. Market Driving Logic - The fundamentals of iron ore are weakly stable. Steel mill production is weakening, and the terminal consumption of ore is continuously decreasing. The positive factor is that the profit situation of steel mills is good, and the demand remains high, providing support for the ore price. However, production restrictions may cause impacts. - Domestic port ore arrivals are rising, while overseas miners' shipments are decreasing. The continuous reduction under high ore prices needs to be tracked. Domestic ore production continues to be weakly stable, and the ore supply is rising steadily. - Overall, with the weakening demand and rising supply, the fundamentals are weakly stable, and the ore price is prone to pressure. But the good profitability of steel mills and the resilience of demand support the ore price, resulting in a high - level oscillating trend [2].
