The blast furnace operating rate remained unchanged at 83.46% for the third consecutive week. The blast furnace iron - making capacity utilization rate decreased to 90.24%, and the daily average pig iron output continued to decline by 15,200 tons to 2.4071 million tons, but the year - on - year increase still reached 1.73% [20]. 3.2.2 Demand - Recently, the State Council approved the construction of a hydropower project in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River with a total investment of 1.2 trillion yuan, indicating good prospects for future infrastructure steel demand. - On the 31st, the third round of Sino - US economic and trade negotiations ended, and both sides agreed to extend the tariff truce period originally due to expire on August 12 by 90 days. The tariffs on China remained the same as before. There are signs of easing in Sino - US trade frictions and expectations of future Fed rate cuts. It is expected that the path for the implementation of the off - season logic will be less smooth, and demand will maintain a certain level of resilience. Currently, the demand for hot - rolled coils is still stronger than that for rebar, and this pattern is expected to continue for some time due to the arrival of the seasonal off - season for building materials [30]. 3.2.3 Inventory - This week, the social inventory of steel products in major cities across the country was 942,370 tons, a week - on - week increase of 152,900 tons.

However, due to poor steel sales, the overall recovery amplitude narrowed. As of July 30, the average operating rate of 87 independent electric - arc furnace steel mills in the country increased by 2.19% to 74.21%, and the capacity utilization rate increased by 1.56% to 57.05%, both reaching an eight - week high [47]. 3.2.5 Raw Material Prices - Affected by domestic policies this week, the prices of major raw materials fluctuated significantly.

After important events such as Sino - US tariff negotiations, the Politburo meeting, and the US interest - rate meeting have concluded, market sentiment has significantly cooled. In the short term, prices have entered a period of volatile consolidation, but the upward trend is expected to remain unchanged, although the momentum has slowed. In the later stage, attention should be paid to whether terminal demand can show better - than - expected performance [60].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2) Report's Core View - The short - term and medium - term views for both coking coal and coke 2509 are "oscillation", and the intraday views are "oscillation on the weak side", with a reference view of "range oscillation". For coking coal, the optimistic sentiment has been released, leading to an oscillatory correction; for coke, the increase in wait - and - see sentiment causes it to oscillate [1]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Coking Coal - **Price and Cost**: The latest offer of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port is 1160.0 yuan/ton, with a week - on - week increase of 12.62%, and the cost of equivalent futures warehouse receipts is about 1136 yuan/ton [5]. - **Driving Logic**: The previous rise of coking coal futures was due to the "anti - involution rectification". However, the over - production situation in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia is limited, and Shanxi has effectively curbed over - production after the "Three Over - productions Rectification" in 2024. The actual impact of the industry policy needs verification. After the policy expectations were fulfilled, the coking coal futures continued to adjust downward. The fundamentals of coking coal have not changed much, and the recent release of positive sentiment has led to a phased price correction. It is recommended to wait and see [5]. Coke - **Price**: The latest offer of the flat - price index of quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke at Rizhao Port is 1420 yuan/ton, with a week - on - week increase of 7.58%; the ex - warehouse price of quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke at Qingdao Port is 1420 yuan/ton, with a week - on - week increase of 2.90% [6]. - **Driving Logic**: As the optimistic sentiment brought by the anti - involution rectification in the coal industry at the end of July cooled down and the Politburo meeting was held, the strong expectations were fulfilled in the short term, leading to a high - level correction of coke futures [6].

Core Viewpoint - PVC market is experiencing a rebound due to commodity sentiment but faces significant downward pressure in the second half of the year due to weak demand and supply pressures [1][5][7] Supply Pressure - In 2025, PVC will face the largest capacity expansion pressure in a decade, with plans to launch 9 new production units totaling nearly 2.5 million tons, primarily between June and August [2] - PVC operating rates are expected to rebound as maintenance season ends, with a significant increase in operating rates anticipated due to reduced planned maintenance [2] Demand Weakness - The demand for PVC is expected to remain weak, particularly due to the ongoing adjustment in the real estate market, which is a major consumer of PVC [5] - From January to June 2025, real estate development investment in China was 46,658 billion yuan, down 11% year-on-year, with new construction area down 20% and completed area down 14.8% [5] Export Challenges - The domestic PVC market is saturated, making exports a critical outlet, with over 2.6 million tons expected to be exported in 2024, half of which will go to India [6] - However, the implementation of India's BIS certification and increasing global trade tensions may further complicate export opportunities, with a significant drop in exports observed in June [6] Summary - The current fundamentals for PVC are weak, with potential for further downward pressure. However, if policies such as production limits are introduced, there may be a gradual reversal of the current weak pricing trend [7]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views on rebar 2510 are oscillatory, oscillatory, and oscillatory with a downward bias respectively. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is that strong expectations have fermented again, leading to an oscillatory increase in steel prices [2]. - Strong expectations have boosted the steel market again, supporting the strengthening of steel prices. However, there is no substantial improvement in the fundamentals of rebar under the situation of both supply and demand increasing. The upward driving force needs to be tracked. The low - inventory situation means that the real - world contradictions are not significant. In the short term, steel prices will oscillate with a upward bias under the support of positive sentiment, and attention should be paid to domestic and foreign policies [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Variety Viewpoint Reference - For rebar 2510, the short - term view is oscillatory, the medium - term view is oscillatory, and the intraday view is oscillatory with a downward bias. The reference is to focus on the support at the MA5 line. The core logic is the re - fermentation of strong expectations driving steel prices to rise oscillatively [2]. Market Driving Logic - The re - emergence of production - restriction disturbances and policy expectations during major meetings have warmed up the sentiment in the steel market, causing steel prices to strengthen again. Rebar supply and demand patterns have changed little. Weekly rebar production has recovered as expected, and with good profit per ton, there is room for an increase in supply, which is expected to return to a high level. Rebar demand has improved, with high - frequency demand indicators increasing month - on - month, mainly due to the release of speculative demand. The improvement in off - season demand needs to be tracked for its sustainability as downstream industries have not improved [3].

PE demand improves slowly but supply increase is obvious; PP supply is expected to rise while downstream demand is weak [2] Pure Benzene - Styrene - Unified benzene prices show a small rebound, with weak fundamental drive and a seasonal improvement expected in the mid - late third quarter [3] - Styrene futures fluctuate narrowly, with high supply, accumulating inventory, and stable downstream demand [3] Polyester - PX and PTA prices fluctuate.

The market may return to reality - based trading, and long - term price increase is difficult without supply contraction [8]
