Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints - The steel market is gradually shifting from strong reality to weak reality, and weak expectations may not have changed substantially. For steel products, it is recommended to short and conduct short - term trading, with an exit strategy if the price rebounds into the recent trading range. For iron ore, if a production - restriction policy is introduced in the future, it will further suppress demand, and the current port inventory decline is slowing down, exerting pressure on futures prices [2][4] 3. Summary by Directory I. Threaded Bars and Hot - Rolled Coils - **Market Situation**: Policy - side positives have basically been realized, and the easing of Sino - US trade tensions is reflected in prices. The real estate market in core cities has stabilized, while that in lower - tier cities is still bottoming out. New construction area has dropped significantly, and the year - on - year decline in completed and under - construction areas remains large. Last week, steel production increased, factory inventory rose, social inventory continued to decline, total inventory decreased, and apparent demand declined. Rumors of production restrictions had limited impact on the market. Steel enterprises believe that the industry needs to cut production, but lack the motivation to do so voluntarily [2] - **Technical Analysis**: The price has broken through the recent trading range downward [2] - **Operation Suggestion**: Short and conduct short - term trading. If the price rebounds into the recent trading range, close the short position in time [2] - **Data Summary**: - **Prices**: Threaded bar and hot - rolled coil futures and spot prices have declined. For example, the threaded bar futures contract closed at 3004 yuan/ton, down 2.12% from last week; the hot - rolled coil futures contract closed at 3138 yuan/ton, down 2.15% from last week [3] - **Production and Inventory**: 247 steel mills' blast furnace operating rate was 84.15%, down 0.47 percentage points from last week; daily average pig iron output was 243.6 million tons, down 0.48% from last week. National building material steel mills' threaded bar production was 231.48 million tons, up 2.19% from last week; hot - rolled coil production was 305.68 million tons, down 2.02% from last week.

Iron Ore - **Market Situation**: The profitability of steel mills is acceptable. Last week, the pig iron output of 247 steel mills exceeded 2.436 billion tons, with a larger decline rate compared to the previous period. If a production - restriction policy is introduced in the future, it will further suppress iron ore demand. As the downstream consumption peak has ended and the apparent demand for steel has declined, it is expected that pig iron production will further decline in the near future. On the supply side, global shipments are at a relatively high level and rising seasonally. The current port inventory decline is slowing down, and the proportion of traded ore inventory is relatively high, exerting pressure on futures prices [4] - **Technical Analysis**: The futures price has dropped significantly but is still within the recent trading range [4] - **Data Summary**: - **Prices**: Iron ore spot and futures prices have declined. For example, the DCE iron ore futures contract settled at 706.5 yuan/dry ton, down 2.21% from last week; the SGX iron ore contract settled at 97.07 US dollars/dry ton, down 4.07% from last week [4] - **Supply and Demand**: Australian iron ore shipments were 1.7711 billion tons, up 7.41% from last week; Brazilian iron ore shipments were 725.6 million tons, down 3.40% from last week.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The outcome of the China - US trade negotiations far exceeded market expectations, boosting market confidence. The poor credit data in April confirmed the necessity of significant measures such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts, and the policy - side positives have basically materialized. The real estate market in core cities has stabilized, while the low - tier city real estate market is still in the bottom - building process. The market is gradually shifting from strong reality to weak reality, with short - term support from the significant mutual tariff reduction between China and the US, but the weak expectations may not have changed substantially [2]. - Currently, the profitability rate of steel mills is acceptable, and steel billets have good profits with high export growth. The molten iron production is in a recovery trend, but if a production restriction policy is introduced in the future, it will further suppress iron ore demand. The global iron ore shipment is at a relatively high level and rising seasonally. The slowdown in port inventory decline and the high proportion of trade ore inventory put pressure on futures prices. Short - term price rebounds are mainly boosted by the optimistic progress of trade negotiations [4]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market sentiment has been significantly boosted by the better - than - expected results of the China - US trade negotiation, causing the rebar to rebound from its low level. However, the increase in inventory and the decline in apparent demand have dampened bullish sentiment. The market is shifting from strong reality to weak reality, with short - term support from the significant tariff reduction between China and the US, but the weak expectation remains unchanged. For rebar and hot - rolled coils, it is advisable to wait and see, and consider buying at low prices after full adjustment [2]. - Currently, the profitability of steel mills is decent, and the molten iron is in a recovery trend. However, the apparent demand for steel has declined significantly, and it is expected that the molten iron production has likely peaked. If a production restriction policy is introduced in the future, it will further suppress the demand for iron ore. On the supply side, global shipments are at a relatively high level and rising seasonally. The current slowdown in port inventory decline and the high proportion of trade ore inventory put pressure on futures prices. For iron ore, it is recommended to mainly rely on technical analysis, hold short positions lightly, and exit at low prices in a timely manner [4]. 3.
