1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Report's Core View - **Coke**: The sixth round of coke price increase has been implemented, leading to positive profits for coke enterprises and a rebound in coke production. Hot metal production remains at a high level, strongly supporting the demand side. Coke supply and demand are tight, and the total coke inventory is decreasing. The coking coal cost has a significant impact on coke, so attention should be paid to coal mine supply. Adopt a volatile trading strategy, with the coke index expected to trade between 1600 - 1780. Key events to watch include coke price increases/decreases, hot metal production, steel sales, and coke enterprise inventories [5]. - **Coking Coal**: Affected by over - production inspections, coal mine production is at a low level, and the upcoming September 3 parade may further reduce production. Mongolian coal customs clearance remains high. Coke production is at a low level compared to the same period in previous years, providing limited support for coking coal demand. The downstream replenishment intensity has slowed down, with middle and lower - stream inventories decreasing and upstream coal mine inventories increasing. There may be an expected increase in seaborne coal imports. Adopt a volatile trading strategy, with the coking coal index expected to trade between 1120 - 1300. Key events to watch include domestic coal mine production, hot metal production, Mongolian coal customs clearance, and downstream replenishment [6]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Market speculation sentiment has cooled, and with exchange rule restrictions, coal prices are gradually returning to rationality. Fundamentals have improved, but short - term price fluctuations have intensified. It is recommended to wait and see [3] Summary by Related Catalog Market Conditions - Yesterday, coal - coke futures prices fluctuated sharply and closed higher in the late session. The spot market price was lagging behind the futures and remained relatively strong, with the 5th round of coke price increase implemented yesterday [2] Supply - side - Last week, coal production in Shanxi mines decreased, with some mines reducing output due to underground problems and completion of monthly tasks. Regarding the tracking of over - production issues, regions in Shanxi (except Lvliang) received documents and started verifying production. The impact on short - term coking coal output may be limited, but the long - term impact on coal mine production should be noted. The Australian coal import window closed again, and Mongolian coal customs clearance declined after a brief surge [2] Demand - side - Last week, the raw material replenishment actions of coking plants and steel mills slowed down slightly. The available days of coking coal inventory in factories stabilized after rising from a low level. Last week, the profitability rate of steel mills was 65.37%, a 1.73 - percentage - point increase from the previous week and a 58.88 - percentage - point increase year - on - year. The daily average pig iron output was 2.4071 million tons, a decrease of 15,200 tons from the previous week but an increase of 40,900 tons year - on - year [2]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel - The steel market is expected to remain strong. The recent positive arbitrage by spot - futures traders has helped digest inventory, and there was no inventory accumulation during the off - season despite high production. If northern steel mills cut production in August and demand recovers in the peak season, it can support high iron - water production in the third quarter and the valuation of the black series. Technically, steel prices have broken through previous highs, and long positions can be considered [1]. Iron Ore - The iron ore 09 contract showed an oscillating upward trend. Global iron ore shipments increased last week, but those from Australia and Brazil decreased slightly. The arrival volume at 45 ports decreased last week, and the subsequent average arrival volume is expected to rise slightly. On the demand side, steel mill profit margins are at a relatively high level, the maintenance volume has decreased, and iron - water production has remained high. Steel exports are strong, and short - term iron - water production is resilient. Terminal demand has shown a strong performance during the off - season. In the inventory aspect, port inventory increased slightly last week, and the port clearance volume decreased. In the future, iron - water production in July will remain high, and steel mill profits will continue to improve, providing support for raw materials. However, there are new supply - side policy expectations, and iron ore prices are likely to follow the rise of steel prices due to production cuts [4]. Coke and Coking Coal - Both coke and coking coal futures showed a bottom - bouncing trend. For coke, the factory price has been raised, and the fourth - round price increase of mainstream coking enterprises has been implemented. Supply is still tight as coal mine复产 is slow, and demand has been supported by the recovery of blast furnaces after the end of environmental restrictions in Tangshan. For coking coal, the spot auction price is generally stable with a slight upward trend. The supply is tight, and demand has increased as steel mills have stepped up restocking. Although there was a limit - down in the futures market due to regulatory intervention, the spot market still has price - increase expectations. For both, speculative trading should be cautious, and arbitrage strategies can consider going long on coke/coking coal and short on iron ore [6]. 3.
