Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the double - coking futures market showed a pattern of weakening in the first four trading days and strengthening in the afternoon of Friday, recovering the weekly decline. With the end of the parade, the industry will see production recovery, and the market supply - demand structure will dominate the market. Entering the traditional peak season of "Golden September and Silver October", attention should be paid to the degree of demand improvement. Currently, the coking coal market is in a weak equilibrium, and short - term fluctuations are the main trend [6][38]. - The increase in coke prices has eroded some of the steel mills' profits. The steel mills' acceptance of coke price increases has gradually slowed down, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. The eighth round of price increases is difficult to implement, and the steel mills have initiated the first round of price cuts. In the short term, the coke futures market will fluctuate with coking coal [33][41]. Summary According to the Directory Report Summary (PART 01) - In the first four trading days of this week, the double - coking futures market weakened, and on Friday afternoon, it strengthened to recover the decline. The market bets that the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September is close to 100%. The domestic central bank conducted a 1 - trillion - yuan repurchase operation on September 5. The macro - sentiment warmed up on Friday, and commodities and the stock market rose in resonance. After the parade, the industry production will recover, and the supply - demand structure will dominate the market. The coking coal market is in a weak equilibrium, and short - term fluctuations are the main trend [6]. - As of September 2, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites improved, with a slightly narrower increase, and the improvement in housing construction projects was greater. Starting from September 4, Tangshan independent steel mills gradually resumed normal production. In early September, some coal mines in Shanxi had large - scale and regional shutdowns, mainly in Changzhi, Linfen, and Jinzhong, and most shutdowns were for 2 - 5 days, with some resuming production on the evening of September 3 [7]. - The supply of coking coal has shrunk, upstream inventory has decreased slightly, independent coking enterprises have continued to reduce coking coal inventory, steel mills mainly purchase raw materials based on rigid demand, the overall coke output has slightly declined, iron - water production has decreased, coke consumption has followed suit, and the profitability of coking enterprises has continued to improve [7]. Multi - Empty Focus (PART 02) - **Bullish Factors**: Reduced inventory pressure of coking coal, expected reduction in coking coal supply, expected increase in iron - water production after the parade, high certainty of Fed rate cuts, and loose domestic liquidity [10]. - **Bearish Factors**: Temporary decline in iron - water production leading to weakening coke demand, and low enthusiasm for downstream coking coal replenishment [10]. Data Analysis (PART 03) - **Coking Coal Supply**: The operating rates of 314 sample coal - washing plants and 523 sample mines decreased this week, and the daily output of clean coal decreased.

The coke inventory increased, and the available days increased. Steel mills mainly purchase raw materials based on rigid demand [25]. - **Coke Output**: As of September 5, the capacity utilization rates and daily output of all - sample independent coking enterprises and 247 steel enterprises decreased. The output of coking enterprises changed little, while the output of steel mills decreased significantly due to parade - related production restrictions [27]. - **Iron - Water Production and Coke Consumption**: As of September 5, China's coke consumption and the daily output of iron - water from 247 steel enterprises decreased. The profitability rate of steel enterprises declined. With the end of the parade, steel mills have resumed production, and iron - water production will recover [32]. - **Coking Enterprises' Profitability**: As of September 5, the average profit per ton of coke for independent coking enterprises was 64 yuan/ton, and the profitability continued to improve. The seventh round of coke price increases was implemented, but the eighth round is difficult to implement, and steel mills have initiated the first round of price cuts [33]. - **Double - Coking Forward - Month Basis Structure**: The spot and futures prices of double - coking are oscillating at high levels [35]. 后市研判 (PART 04) - The market bets that the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September is close to 100%. The domestic central bank conducted a 1 - trillion - yuan repurchase operation on September 5. After the parade, the industry will see production recovery, and the supply - demand structure will dominate the market. The coking coal market is in a weak equilibrium, and short - term fluctuations are the main trend [38]. - The increase in coke prices has eroded some of the steel mills' profits, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises.

美指下跌,铜价震荡偏强

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating provided in the content. Group 2: Core View of the Report - The report indicates that the US dollar index has declined due to the significant difference between the actual and expected increase in the US ADP employment in August and the expansion of the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, which supports the non - ferrous metal market. Domestically, copper supply is expected to tighten as the smelter processing fees have decreased, the sulfuric acid price is at a high level, 5 smelters have maintenance plans in September, and the import of copper will impact the domestic market. Although it is currently the off - season for copper consumption, the increasing investment in domestic power grid facilities has driven copper demand, and there is an expectation of improved demand during the peak seasons of "Golden September and Silver October". Therefore, it is expected that copper prices will be mainly oscillating and strengthening, and attention should be paid to the US non - farm payroll data [1]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Strategy Analysis - The US ADP employment in August increased by 54,000, far from the market expectation of 65,000, and the July data was revised to 104,000. The Fed's interest - rate cut expectations have expanded, leading to a decline in the US dollar index. The smelter processing fees have decreased after a short - term rebound, and the sulfuric acid price is expected to be at a high level, which will reduce the profit compensation for smelters. Five smelters have maintenance plans in September, involving a crude smelting capacity of 1 million tons, and the domestic electrolytic copper production in September is expected to decline month - on - month. After the copper tariff is implemented, imported copper will flow back to the domestic market, squeezing the domestic market and affecting pricing. As of July 2025, the apparent copper consumption was 1.3745 million tons. Although it is the off - season, the increasing investment in domestic power grid facilities has driven copper demand. Currently, the downstream's willingness to buy is poor after the copper price rises, and the premium is under pressure, but there is an expectation of improved demand during the peak seasons [1]. Futures and Spot Market Quotes - Futures: Shanghai copper opened lower and rose during the day, closing at 80,140 yuan/ton at the end of the session. Spot: The spot premium in East China was 140 yuan/ton, and in South China was 40 yuan/ton. On September 4, 2025, the LME official price was 9,885 US dollars/ton, and the spot premium was - 72 US dollars/ton [4]. Supply Side - As of the latest data on August 29, the spot crude smelting fee (TC) was - 41.25 US dollars/dry ton, and the spot refining fee (RC) was - 4.12 US cents/pound [7]. Fundamental Tracking - Inventory: SHFE copper inventory was 18,900 tons, a decrease of 902 tons from the previous period. As of September 4, the copper inventory in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone was 80,100 tons, a decrease of 2,800 tons from the previous period. LME copper inventory was 158,000 tons, a decrease of 200 tons from the previous period. COMEX copper inventory was 302,700 short tons, an increase of 18,344 short tons from the previous period [11].
