Report Industry Investment Rating - The overall mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillation" [6][9][12][15] Core Viewpoints of the Report - Due to decent June macro data and un - expected central urban work conference statements, the market anticipates a correction, with a cautious mindset. The iron ore is strong, supporting the price center of the sector. Steel and coking coal are lackluster, and the valuation repair from the basis perspective has temporarily reached its limit. The terminal demand verification point hasn't arrived, and the macro trend dominates the off - season market, expected to oscillate at high levels [1][2] - The overall market rally stimulates mid - stream inventory building, creating a positive feedback for the industry chain. The macro - favorable expectations have cooled, and future focus will be on policy implementation and off - season terminal demand performance [6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Overall Market Situation - **Iron Element**: Overseas mine shipments slightly decreased, 45 - port arrivals increased as expected. Steel mills' profitability is good, and small - sample steel mill hot metal production rose, remaining at a high year - on - year level. Due to concentrated arrivals, some ports had increased congestion, leading to a slight decline in port inventories. The overall supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and the market price oscillates strongly [2] - **Carbon Element**: Some previously - overhauled coal mines in major production areas are resuming production, but there are still production restrictions due to overhauls and underground issues. The overall supply has not returned to previous highs. On the import side, the China - Mongolia port has resumed customs clearance, but the Mongolian Naadam holiday lasts until the 17th, and customs clearance may remain low. Coke production has slightly decreased, but there is still rigid demand for coking coal. Downstream is actively restocking, and some coal types are in short supply. The first round of price increases for coke is expected to be implemented on Thursday [3] - **Alloys**: Manganese ore prices are temporarily stable, but port inventories have slightly increased. The cost of high - grade ore arrivals in the future has significant downward potential, and the support for ore prices is insufficient.
