Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Steel: The supply - side has stable blast furnace profits and rising disk profits, so steel mills may continue to increase production with a low probability of significant reduction. The demand - side is affected by winter cold, with seasonal weakening of rebar demand and inventory accumulation, and hot - rolled coil demand may slow down and turn to inventory accumulation. The fundamentals are neutral, and prices will fluctuate within a range [3]. - Iron Ore: Overall, the fundamentals of iron ore are weak, but the downside is supported by the healthy fundamentals of steel, good profits of steel mills, and inventory replenishment expectations. Additionally, attention should be paid to the impact of rainy seasons in Australia and Brazil on shipments. It is expected that the price decline space is limited [23]. - Coal and Coke: Coking coal is in a pattern of "strong spot, weak disk" with a high basis. Without strong policy expectations to boost the disk, as winter storage enters the second half, the demand sustainability is limited, and the spot price of coking coal may face downward pressure in the short term. In the medium - to - long term, if there is a combination of "exceeding - expected domestic supply recovery" and "weakening macro - sentiment", the prices of coal and coke will face significant downward pressure [36]. - Ferroalloys: Ferroalloys are supported by the cost side. The upper limit of silicon - manganese is restricted by high inventory, and the fundamentals of silicon - iron are slightly better than those of silicon - manganese. In the short term, ferroalloys will fluctuate within a range between the cost line and the previous pressure level [52]. - Soda Ash: The short - term commodity sentiment is warming up, which may drive some low - valued varieties. If the disk rises, there is some inventory replenishment space for middle and downstream players, but the demand is average with limited elasticity. In terms of fundamentals, as new production capacity gradually releases output, the daily production of soda ash reaches a new high, and the oversupply expectation is intensifying. The export of soda ash remains high, which alleviates the domestic pressure to some extent. The high - level inventory of the upper and middle reaches restricts the price of soda ash [66]. - Glass: Although the daily melting of float glass has dropped to a certain low level, the demand reality and expectation are also weak. Under the pattern of weak supply and demand, there is no trend - based movement. Before the Spring Festival, there are still some glass production lines for cold - repair and ignition, which may affect the far - month pricing and market expectation. Currently, the high inventory of the middle reaches of glass needs to be digested, and the spot pressure still exists [90].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The black market is expected to experience low-level consolidation. The steel market has a supply-demand mismatch, with supply slightly increasing and demand remaining weak. The iron ore market is likely to fluctuate at a high level, supported by the approaching steel mill replenishment cycle and supply entering the off - season. The coking coal and coke market has seen production resumption after the new year, and downstream pre - holiday replenishment may support prices. The ferroalloy market is expected to have narrow - range fluctuations due to weak terminal demand and a lack of driving factors [12][13][14][15] Summary by Catalog 01 Week - ly Market Review - Futures and spot prices of various black commodities have different changes. For example, the closing price of the RB2605 rebar futures contract on January 9, 2026, was 3144, up 22 from December 31, 2025, with a 0.70% increase; the spot price of HRB400E: Φ20 in Shanghai was 3290, down 10 from December 31, 2025, with a 0.30% decrease [8] 02 This Week's Black Market Forecast Overall Black Market - Logic: The average capacity utilization rate and average operating rate of independent electric - arc furnace steel mills and blast furnaces have increased. The steel product market is affected by a supply - demand mismatch, with supply slightly increasing and demand weak. The macro - market has limited impact on prices. - Viewpoint: Low - level consolidation [12] Iron Ore - Logic: Domestic monetary policy expectations are rising, and the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle boosts commodities. The supply is entering the off - season, and demand is expected to increase with the approaching pre - holiday replenishment cycle. - Viewpoint: High - level fluctuations in the short term. Do not chase high prices. Adopt interval operations and sell out - of - the - money call options [13] Coking Coal and Coke - Logic: The central bank's emphasis on loose monetary policy boosts market sentiment. Coal market production - cut rumors have limited impact on coking coal supply. After the new year, coal mines are resuming production, and downstream demand is expected to increase. - Viewpoint: Be cautious due to sharp short - term price fluctuations [14] Ferroalloys - Logic: Overseas and domestic macro - environments have different impacts. The supply of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese has different trends, and demand is in a weak recovery state with high inventory pressure. - Viewpoint: Narrow - range fluctuations [15] 03 Variety Data Products (Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil) - Rebar: The weekly output last week was 191.04 million tons, with a year - on - year decrease of 8.37 million tons.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Domestic macro - narrative is positive with rising expectations of incremental monetary policy. The fundamentals of the industrial chain have improved, there is a demand for iron ore replenishment, and supply is entering the off - season. However, the price increase is limited by the industrial chain profit. It is expected to be mainly volatile in the short term [2][3]. - The expected high - price range is 810 - 820 yuan/ton, corresponding to the outer - disk (FE02) price of about 105.5 - 107.5 US dollars/ton. The strategy is range operation and covered call options [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Macro - aspect - Domestic monetary and fiscal policies are in an active reserve period. The start of the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle boosts commodities. The industrial chain is in a weak - balance stage with prices maintaining a narrow - fluctuation trend. This is because the inventory pressure at the finished - product end is continuously relieved, the industrial chain valuation rebounds, the strong spot price of iron ore supports the market, and steel mills have entered the replenishment cycle [2]. Supply - The year - end phased volume - rush of mainstream mines' shipments has ended, and the weekly shipment volume has dropped significantly. Outer - mine shipments will enter the seasonal off - season, and domestic ore supply is also in the off - season. Overall, the supply - side support is getting stronger [2]. Demand - Domestic demand is continuously rising slightly. The profitability of steel mills has rebounded after the decline in carbon - element prices. There are both blast - furnace overhauls and restarts. Some overhauled blast furnaces in Hebei and Shanxi will restart at the end of the month. In general, domestic steel - mill demand has a short - term upward trend, and the pre - holiday replenishment cycle is about to start, with replenishment demand expected to be continuously released [3]. Inventory - The imported inventory at the steel - mill end has increased month on month, but it is still at the lowest level in the same period in recent years. Attention should be paid to when the full - scale replenishment of US - dollar goods by steel mills will start. Port inventory has been continuously accumulating due to the relatively high arrival volume, and it is expected that port inventory will continue to accumulate in December [3].
