1. Overall Investment Ratings - The report does not provide an industry - wide investment rating. 2. Core Views Steel - The black futures market weakened recently. In the short - term, the steel inventory pressure is not significant, but the off - season demand has a low acceptance of high prices. The main contract is approaching the roll - over period, and the price of the October contract is expected to fluctuate at high levels. It was previously recommended to buy on dips, and existing long positions can be held. However, due to limited terminal demand, chasing long positions should be done with caution [1]. Iron Ore - The 2509 iron ore contract showed a fluctuating and slightly stronger trend last week. In the future, the average daily hot metal production in August will remain high but is expected to slightly decline to around 2.36 million tons per day. Steel prices may rise due to production restrictions, which will reduce iron ore demand but provide valuation support. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 contract on dips and conduct an arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal 01 and short on iron ore 01 [4]. Coke - The coke futures rebounded from the bottom last week, and the price fluctuated sharply. The fifth round of price increase has been implemented, and there may be further increases. Supply is difficult to increase due to some enterprises' losses, while demand from blast furnaces provides support. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 coke contract on dips and conduct a 9 - 1 reverse arbitrage [6]. Coking Coal - The coking coal futures rebounded from the bottom last week, and the spot market is generally stable and slightly stronger. The supply is tight, and the demand for replenishment from downstream is continuous. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 coking coal contract on dips and conduct a 9 - 1 reverse arbitrage [6]. 3.

Core Views of the Report - In the black industry, short - term steel industry growth expectations still exist. There are opportunities in the contract operation of going long on RB2601 and shorting I2601. Attention should be paid to policy implementation and off - season demand. In the financial market, the market has rebounded continuously, and it is recommended to hold long positions in stock index futures lightly and long positions in Treasury bonds lightly. For precious metals, the logic driving the gold price increase has not completely reversed, and short - term factors may cause fluctuations. In the agricultural and light industrial products markets, different products have different trends based on their supply - demand fundamentals and external factors [2][3][4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Black Industry - **Iron ore**: Short - term manufacturing recovery is interrupted, and policy expectations are falsified. Supply increases slightly, and steel mills' production drive is strong. There are production - reduction expectations in the later period. Consider the operation of going long on RB2601 and shorting I2601 [2]. - **Coking coal and coke**: Coal mine over - production inspections tighten supply, and transportation is disrupted. The market is in a slightly tight supply - demand state, and prices are likely to rise [2]. - **Rolled steel and rebar**: Tangshan's independent steel - rolling enterprises' production restrictions are beneficial to finished products. Demand is in the off - season, and inventory may accumulate. Consider the operation of going long on RB2601 and shorting I2601 [2]. - **Glass**: The market's speculation sentiment cools down, and the demand is difficult to recover significantly. It is in the adjustment stage [2]. - **Soda ash**: In the adjustment stage, with the market's trading logic returning to the fundamentals [2]. Financial Market - **Stock index futures/options**: The market has rebounded, and risk appetite has improved. It is recommended to hold long positions in stock index futures lightly [3]. - **Treasury bonds**: Market interest rates have rebounded, and Treasury bond prices have fallen. Hold long positions in Treasury bonds lightly [3]. - **Gold and silver**: The gold - pricing mechanism is changing. The logic of the gold price increase has not reversed. Short - term factors such as employment data and tariff policies affect the price. Pay attention to the latest CPI data [3][4]. Agricultural and Light Industrial Products Markets - **Pulp**: The supply - demand pattern is weak, and the price is expected to consolidate [4]. - **Logs**: Demand has increased slightly, supply pressure is not large, and the price is expected to oscillate [4]. - **Oils and fats**: Supported by raw material costs, external markets, and demand recovery, they are expected to oscillate upward. Pay attention to weather and production - sales conditions [4]. - **Meal products**: Supply is sufficient in the short term, and prices are under pressure. In the long term, there are some supporting factors. They are expected to oscillate strongly [6]. - **Live pigs**: Supply is increasing, and consumption is restricted by high temperatures. The price is expected to decline slightly [6]. - **Rubber**: The supply - demand gap has narrowed. With the improvement of supply - side factors, the price is expected to be strong in the short term [6][8]. - **PX, PTA, MEG, PR, PF**: These products are in a state of wait - and - see, with their prices mainly affected by cost and supply - demand changes [8][12].
