1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Q2 monetary policy regular meeting basically continued the previous tone. After the implementation of reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts, the expression of aggregate monetary policy tools was adjusted to "flexibly grasp the intensity and rhythm of policy implementation." - In terms of narrow - liquidity, attention remains on capital use efficiency and capital idling. Since the second quarter, exchange - rate pressure has eased, and the constraint on internal - external balance has weakened. The current capital price center has significantly recovered from a level higher than the policy interest rate, and it is expected that the scope for substantial further easing may be limited. - The meeting continued to retain statements related to the long - end yield trend. Recently, the bond market sentiment has strengthened, and leveraged trading has increased. Given that capital prices are unlikely to decline further, it is expected that the long - end yield will continue to fluctuate within a narrow range of 1.6 - 1.7% in the short term [2][15]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Economic Situation - The Q2 monetary policy regular meeting made more positive statements about economic recovery. The assessment of the economic situation in the meeting communique changed from "the economy is generally stable and making progress while maintaining stability" to "the economy shows a positive trend, and social confidence continues to be boosted," affirming more positive factors in economic recovery. However, the assessment of the external environment changed from "weak growth momentum" to "weakening growth momentum" [2][4][5]. 3.2 Policy Tone - The wording in the communique of this monetary policy regular meeting continued the "moderate easing" stance, changing from "choosing the right time to cut the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates" to "flexibly grasp the intensity and rhythm of policy implementation." The monetary policy setting followed the "moderate easing" statement in the Politburo meeting and the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of 2024. The meeting communique continued to "strengthen" counter - cyclical adjustment and reiterated better use of the total and structural dual functions of monetary policy tools. After the "dual cuts" in May, it indicates that the policy maintains a loose orientation in terms of quantity to address domestic demand shortages and external uncertainties, but the form and rhythm of monetary policy operations have high flexibility [2][5][6]. 3.3 Narrow Liquidity - Since the fourth quarter of 2024, the monetary policy regular meeting has consistently emphasized "preventing capital idling." Although the first - quarter monetary policy report did not mention "capital idling," this monetary policy regular meeting still emphasized it after "smooth the monetary policy transmission mechanism and improve capital use efficiency," continuing the statement since the fourth quarter of 2024. Since April, due to trade frictions, the capital price center has significantly loosened. Currently, DR007 has dropped to around 1.5%, suggesting that capital prices are unlikely to decline significantly further, and the capital environment will remain balanced [2][8][9]. 3.4 Exchange - Rate Stabilization - The intensity of the wording was reduced, and the "three resolutes" were no longer mentioned. The Q1 regular meeting mentioned the "three resolutes" regarding the exchange rate: correcting pro - cyclical behavior, dealing with market disruptions, and preventing over - adjustment risks. In Q2, as the pressure to stabilize the exchange rate eased, the relevant statements were removed from the meeting communique, leaving only the statement of "maintaining the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate." Since April, the RMB exchange rate has gradually appreciated from a high of around 7.35 to around 7.17. In the short term, due to the weakening of the US dollar index, the pressure on the RMB exchange rate is relatively limited, so the policy's wording on "stabilizing the exchange rate" has also been adjusted [2][13][14]. 3.5 Real - Estate Policy - The previous policies were recognized, and the goal was to "consolidate the stable situation," continuing the statement of the previous Politburo meeting. Compared with the Q1 monetary policy regular meeting, the communique for this meeting changed from emphasizing "promoting the real - estate market to stop falling and recover" to "consolidating the stable situation," following the spirit of the Politburo meeting at the end of April and recognizing the effectiveness of the previous round of policies [2][14][15].

Industry Investment Rating - The trend rating for coke is "sideways", and for coking coal is also "sideways" [1] Core Viewpoints - The end of the Iran-Israel conflict and the potential for a further Sino-US trade agreement in the near future are releasing external disturbance risks. Coking coal will return to its own logic. The short - term recommendation is to hold a light long position in J09 and gradually increase the position [5] - For coking coal, the spot price is stabilizing, and trading volume is gradually picking up. The start - up of mines and coal washing plants is increasing. For coke, the fourth round of spot price cuts has been implemented, and there is little room for further cuts. With the strengthening of coking coal, the cost support is gradually transmitted to coke, and the supply - demand margin of coke is improving [5] Summary by Directory Coking Coal Related Information - On June 26, White House officials stated that the US and China had reached an understanding on how to speed up the transportation of rare earths to the US [1] Spot and Futures - The price of Mongolian 5 main coking coal is reported at 868 yuan/ton (unchanged), the active contract is reported at 804.5 yuan/ton (+20.5), the basis is 83.5 yuan/ton (-20.5), and the 9 - 1 month spread is - 43 yuan/ton (+0.5) [1] Supply and Demand - The resumption of production at the mine end and the reduction of the capacity utilization rate of coking enterprises. The starting rate of 523 mines is reported at 84.49% (+0.78), the starting rate of 110 coal washing plants is reported at 61.34% (+3.2), and the productivity of 230 independent coking enterprises is reported at 73.42% (-0.54) [2] Inventory - Upstream inventory accumulates, and downstream inventory decreases.

Coking coal has shown a relatively strong trend. The short - term suggestion is to hold a light long position in J09 and gradually increase the position. In addition to the capital side, on the fundamental side, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is any active production reduction behavior at the mine end [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend rating for coke is "oscillation", and for coking coal is also "oscillation" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the cease - fire agreement between Iran and Israel, geopolitical disturbances are released. Coking coal will return to its own logic. Although it followed the decline of crude oil, the bulls' resistance is strong. For coke, the fifth round of price cut has been implemented, and there is little room for further cuts, with a price increase expected in July. It is recommended to hold a small - amount long position in J09 and add positions after confirming the bottom [4][5] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Coking Coal 3.1.1 Spot and Futures Market - The spot price of Mongolian No. 5 coking coal is 868 yuan/ton (unchanged), the active contract is 784 yuan/ton (down 23 yuan), the basis is 104 yuan/ton (up 23 yuan), and the 9 - 1 month spread is - 43.5 yuan/ton (down 7 yuan) [2] 3.1.2 Supply and Demand - Mine and coal washery production is increasing. The operating rate of 523 mines is 84.49% (up 0.78%), and that of 110 coal washeries is 61.34% (up 3.2%). The production rate of 230 independent coking enterprises is 73.42% (down 0.54%) [2] 3.1.3 Inventory - Upstream inventory is increasing, and downstream inventory is decreasing. The clean coal inventory of 523 mines is 499.15 million tons (up 13.11 million tons), that of coal washeries is 237.39 million tons (down 14.08 million tons), that of 247 steel mills is 774.66 million tons (up 0.68 million tons), that of 230 coking enterprises is 665.65 million tons (down 3.88 million tons), and port inventory is 303.31 million tons (down 8.71 million tons) [2] 3.2 Coke 3.2.1 Spot and Futures Market - The fourth round of spot price cut has been implemented.

Domestically, the social financing performance in May was weak, and the real - estate policy has been relaxed, but investors' pessimistic attitude towards real estate is hard to reverse in the short term. The coking coal supply is increasing, and the inventory inflection point may take time. For coke, the cost and demand are decisive factors. It is recommended to hold a small - amount long position in J09 and add positions after confirming the bottom [4][5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend rating for coke is "oscillation", and for coking coal is also "oscillation" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - With the end of the Iran - Israel conflict, the disturbance of crude oil on coking coal will end. Short - term decline in crude oil may drag down coking coal. Domestically, the social financing performance in May was weak, and the real - estate market policies have not effectively reversed investors' pessimistic attitude. The implementation of crude steel production restrictions is under discussion, but steel mills have low willingness to cut production [4]. - For coking coal, the resumption of production at mines and coal preparation plants is verified as passive production cuts. Inventory at mines is rising, while that at coal preparation plants is decreasing. For coke, cost and demand are decisive factors. The cost of coke has limited downward space and will provide support. The supply - demand of coke has shown marginal improvement [5]. - After the short - term release of crude oil disturbance, coking coal will return to its own logic. Pay attention to coking coal's reaction to crude oil disturbance. Short - term recommendation is to hold a small long position in J09 and add positions after confirming the bottom [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Coking Coal Market Conditions - Spot prices are weak, while futures prices are oscillating upwards. Mongolian No. 5 primary coking coal is reported at 868 yuan/ton (unchanged), and the active contract is at 807 yuan/ton (+12). The basis is 81 yuan/ton (-12), and the September - January spread is -36 yuan/ton (-10) [1]. Supply - Mines and coal preparation plants have resumed production. The operating rate of 523 mines is 84.49% (+0.78), and that of 110 coal preparation plants is 61.34% (+3.2). The production rate of 230 independent coking enterprises is 73.42% (-0.54) [2]. Inventory - Upstream inventory is accumulating, while downstream inventory is decreasing. The clean coal inventory of 523 mines is 499.15 million tons (+13.11), that of coal preparation plants is 237.39 million tons (-14.08), that of 247 steel mills is 774.66 million tons (+0.68), that of 230 coking enterprises is 665.65 million tons (-3.88), and port inventory is 303.31 million tons (-8.71) [2]. Coke Market Conditions - Spot prices are weak, while futures prices are oscillating upwards. Tianjin Port's quasi - first - grade coke is reported at 1270 yuan/ton (unchanged), and some steel mills have proposed a fourth - round price cut. The active contract is at 1385 yuan/ton (+0.5). The basis is -18.5 yuan/ton (-0.5), and the September - January spread is -39 yuan/ton (-12) [3]. Supply and Demand - Supply has decreased, while demand has slightly increased. The production rate of 230 independent coking enterprises is 73.42% (-0.54). The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel mills is 90.79% (+0.21), and the daily average pig iron output is 2.4218 million tons (+0.57) [3]. Inventory - Upstream and downstream inventories are continuously decreasing, while port inventory remains flat. The inventory of 230 coking enterprises is 80.93 million tons (-6.38), that of 247 steel mills is 634.2 million tons (-8.64), and port inventory is 203.11 million tons (+0.02) [3]. Strategy Recommendations - Hold a small long position in J09 and add positions after confirming the bottom. Pay attention to coking coal's reaction to crude oil disturbance. If coking coal is relatively resistant to decline when crude oil weakens, it may rise again after crude oil volatility decreases. If coking coal is sold off with large - scale position - increasing, it may return to a weak trend. Active production cuts at mines or administrative production cuts can trigger a continuous rebound [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a "sideways" rating for both coke and coking coal [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The impact of the escalation of the Middle - East situation on the medium - and long - term coking coal price is unclear. Domestically, the May social financing performance was weaker than expected, and the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value slowed down, while the social retail growth rate increased, narrowing the supply - demand gap and potentially boosting prices. The government is promoting the stabilization of the real estate market, and the steel industry's production reduction plan is to be implemented but the timing is uncertain [4] - In the coking coal market, under safety and environmental disturbances, production at mines and coal washeries has decreased significantly, but inventories are still rising. For coke, cost and demand are decisive factors, and the supply - demand situation has marginally improved [5] - The market reacted positively to the weak May economic data, indicating that as valuations are extremely low, reverse trading is increasing and a bottom is gradually forming [4] 3.
