Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views - **Coking Coal**: The supply has decreased significantly due to strict safety and environmental inspections in Shanxi before major events. The market sentiment has weakened, with a strong atmosphere of price cuts. The total sample inventory has decreased by 28.1 tons compared to last week. Considering factors such as the decline in steel prices, the narrowing of steel mill profits, and the start of blast furnace production restrictions in Tangshan, it is expected that the price of coking coal will remain stable in the short term [3]. - **Coke**: Affected by the parade, the production of coking enterprises in some areas is still restricted, and the supply is at a low level.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Supply side: In August 2025, the total planned asphalt production in China was 2413000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.1% and a year - on - year increase of 17.1%. The sample capacity utilization rate of domestic petroleum asphalt this week was 31.3998%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.44 percentage points. Refineries have recently reduced production, alleviating supply pressure, but supply pressure may increase next week [8]. - Demand side: The current demand is lower than the historical average. The heavy - traffic asphalt开工率 was 29.3%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.05 percentage points; the construction asphalt开工率 was 18.2%, unchanged from the previous month; the modified asphalt开工率 was 17.1358%, a month - on - month increase of 0.15 percentage points; the road - modified asphalt开工率 was 28.33%, unchanged from the previous month; the waterproofing membrane开工率 was 33.86%, a month - on - month increase of 3.26 percentage points [8]. - Cost side: The daily asphalt processing profit was - 629.11 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 5.60%. The weekly delayed coking profit of Shandong local refineries was 740.6729 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 6.05%. The asphalt processing loss increased, and the profit difference between asphalt and delayed coking decreased. With the strengthening of crude oil, it is expected that the cost support will strengthen in the short term [9]. - Expectation: The refinery's recent production reduction has alleviated supply pressure. The overall demand recovery stimulated by the peak season falls short of expectations and remains sluggish; inventory remains flat; with the strengthening of crude oil, the cost support strengthens in the short term. It is expected that the futures price will fluctuate narrowly in the short term, with asphalt 2511 fluctuating in the range of 3486 - 3528 [10]. 3.
