Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The impact of the 2026 government work report on the black sector is relatively neutral, in line with market expectations, with neither excessive policy stimulus nor significant under - performance [1] - On the demand side, policies support "two important" and "two new" work, providing structural demand support for the black metal sector, but real - estate - related steel demand release is still restricted [4] - On the supply side, policies promote green - low - carbon transformation and comprehensive rectification, leading to potential reduction and quality improvement of crude steel supply, and putting marginal pressure on upstream raw material demand [7] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Demand - side Analysis - **Macro - policy support**: In 2026, the government continues to implement a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy. The deficit rate is about 4%, the deficit scale is 5.89 trillion yuan, an increase of 230 billion yuan from the previous year. 1.3 trillion yuan of ultra - long - term special treasury bonds and 4.4 trillion yuan of local government special bonds are to be issued. The total amount of ultra - long - term special treasury bonds and local government special bonds is the same as the previous year. Policies support "two important" and "two new" work, providing long - term support for steel demand [4] - **Real - estate situation**: The real - estate policy is still focused on stability. There is a low probability of large - scale stimulus, and the release of real - estate - related steel demand is restricted [5] - **Product - specific demand**: For rebar, infrastructure investment may support demand, but real - estate - related construction steel demand will continue to drag down. For hot - rolled coils, there is obvious demand support, but the increment may be limited due to the weakened policy subsidy for consumer goods replacement [6] Supply - side Analysis - **Policy - driven transformation**: The report promotes green - low - carbon transformation in key areas, controls high - energy - consumption and high - emission projects, and sets a target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by about 3.8%. It also strengthens anti - monopoly and anti - unfair competition, and rectifies "involution - style" competition [7][10] - **Impact on supply and related industries**: These policies contribute to the reduction and quality improvement of crude steel supply, and may lead to a decline in the demand for iron ore, coke, and coking coal. For manganese - silicon and silicon - iron, although their demand is affected by the expected reduction in crude steel output, there are also structural opportunities, and the supply pattern may be optimized [10]
