1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for coking coal and coke is "Oscillation" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The coking coal and coke market in the fourth quarter of 2025 will present a pattern of weak supply and demand, with prices expected to oscillate within a range. The low price point for the year has already appeared, and the low point in the second quarter still has strong support. Without further policy impetus, it will be difficult to break through the previous high point. The price center of coking coal may fluctuate around 1000 - 1300 yuan/ton. The market needs to pay attention to possible policy intensification on the supply side, the actual performance of the demand side after the peak season, and the impact of macro - factors such as Sino - US negotiations and the "15th Five - Year Plan" policy expectations [4][79] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Third - Quarter Market Review - In the coking coal market, after continuous decline in the first half of the year, it rebounded in the third quarter. In June, the base - difference repair and tightened safety supervision in coal mines drove the price up. In July, the market rose sharply due to the "anti - involution" news, and the exchange's position - limit measures cooled the market sentiment. In August, the release of the "No. 118 Document" increased concerns about the supply side and pushed up the price, which gradually turned into an oscillating trend in September. - In the coke market, with continuous over - capacity, the price followed the cost (coking coal price) fluctuations [11] 3.2 Coking Coal: Policy Disturbance Leads to Supply Decline and Price Bottoming - Out Rebound 3.2.1 Impact of Safety Supervision Policies, Decline in Domestic Production on a Quarter - on - Quarter Basis - In the first half of the year, the coking coal market declined due to an imbalance in supply and demand, with over - released supply being the core factor. After the Spring Festival, the coal mine start - up rate in Shanxi recovered rapidly. After reaching the annual high in mid - May, it gradually declined from late May. The reduction in production was mainly driven by non - profit factors. In June, the start - up rate dropped rapidly due to increased safety inspections and accidents. In July, although the "Safety Production Month" ended, the resumption of production was slow. The release of the "No. 118 Document" in July and the impact of the parade and National Day in the third quarter led to a decline in the start - up rate. In the fourth quarter, supply is expected to decline steadily [14][16] 3.2.2 Profit Recovery, Increase in Imports - In the first half of 2025, the decline in domestic coking coal prices led to a contraction in imports. In the third quarter, as domestic prices rebounded, import profits recovered, and import volume increased. For Mongolian coal, imports were high in the first quarter, declined in the second quarter due to price drops, and recovered in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, it is expected to remain at a high level. For seaborne coal, imports were affected by price. In the third quarter, imports recovered as domestic prices rose. In the fourth quarter, except for Australian coal, imports from other sources are expected to change little, while Australian coal imports may increase [31][41] 3.2.3 Decline in Coal Mine Inventory - In the first half of the year, coal mine inventory accumulated due to high supply and low downstream inventory. In the third quarter, with the decline in the start - up rate in the main production areas and downstream restocking, coal mine inventory decreased significantly, and the overall inventory entered the destocking stage. In the fourth quarter, inventory may accumulate again due to weakening seasonal demand [52] 3.3 Coke: Cost Decline, but Profit Remains at a Low Level 3.3.1 Difficult to Change the Over - Capacity Pattern, Low Coking Profit - In the first half of the year, the decline in coking coal prices led to a decline in coke prices, and the contraction of coking profit was relatively limited. In the third quarter, although coke prices rose, coking coal prices rose more significantly. Coking profit remained at a low level. Supply increased slightly due to acceptable demand, and in the fourth quarter, coking coal supply may remain at the same level as the previous year. The coking industry still has an over - capacity problem, and the standardization of the J2604 contract may promote the transformation and upgrading of some coking enterprises [63] 3.3.2 Low Downstream Inventory, Decline in Exports - This year, the coking industry has maintained a low start - up rate, and the coke inventory of coking plants and steel mills has been low. In the third quarter, coking plant inventory decreased significantly due to downstream restocking. In the fourth quarter, steel mills are expected to maintain low - inventory operations, and total coke inventory may gradually accumulate. Although pig iron production has remained high since the second quarter, there is a risk of over - supply relative to actual demand [67] 3.4 Coking Coal and Coke Supply - Demand Summary - For coking coal, the annual supply peak has passed. In the fourth quarter, production is expected to slow down, but supply is unlikely to decline significantly without strong policy intervention. On the demand side, although pig iron production is high, the actual downstream acceptance is uncertain. - For coke, the price continues to follow the cost due to over - capacity. Although the current inventory is low and the supply - demand structure seems balanced, the over - capacity problem remains, and profit is difficult to recover. - Overall, the coal - coke market will show a pattern of weak supply and demand in the fourth quarter. Prices are expected to oscillate within a range, and the coking coal price may fluctuate around 1000 - 1300 yuan/ton. The market needs to pay attention to policy, demand, and macro - factors [79]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The steel price is expected to maintain a bottom - oscillating trend in the short term. There is support due to certain repair in steel demand, high hot metal production, and strong steel exports. However, there is also short - term pressure from factors such as expected hot metal production cuts, continuous steel inventory accumulation, and a decline in coal daily consumption in August. Attention should be paid to the peak - season demand in September, as well as overseas tariffs and domestic macro and industrial policies [4]. - For coking coal and coke, the overall supply - demand is relatively balanced. The coking coal price has a callback in the futures market, and the coke's seventh - round price increase has partially landed. In the medium term, the coking coal price center will gradually rise, and one can wait for adjustments and then go long on far - month contracts at low prices [11]. - The iron ore price is expected to oscillate in the short term. The factors driving price increases are weakening, and the market may shift to the relatively rapid weakening of terminal steel demand [16]. - For ferroalloys, both ferrosilicon and silicomanganese are expected to have a bottom - oscillating trend recently. The high - premium risk has been largely released, and the supply and demand sides have different characteristics that need attention [18][19]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Related Information - The preliminary value of the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI in August was 53.3, reaching a 39 - month high. The preliminary value of the US S&P Global Services PMI in August was 55.4. The number of initial jobless claims in the US increased by 11,000 to 235,000 in the week ending August 16. In July 2025, China's excavator output was 24,732 units, a year - on - year increase of 13.9%. From January to July 2025, China's excavator output was 205,299 units, a year - on - year increase of 11.1% [2]. - The spot price of rebar in Shanghai was 3,300 yuan (+10), in Beijing was 3,260 yuan (-), the spot price of hot - rolled coil in Shanghai was 3,420 yuan (-10), and in Tianjin was 3,370 yuan (-10) [3]. Logic Analysis - The black - metal sector maintained an oscillating trend in the night session yesterday. Steel production resumed this week, with rebar production decreasing and hot - rolled coil production increasing. The overall inventory of the five major steel products accumulated, but the accumulation speed slowed down. Steel exports remained strong, and building - material demand rebounded from the bottom. Steel demand has shown some repair, and high hot - metal production and strong exports support steel prices. However, with the approaching military parade, hot - metal production is expected to decrease next week, and there is short - term pressure on steel prices. But the production - cut window is short, and the downside space is limited. It is expected that the steel price will maintain a bottom - oscillating trend in the short term [4]. Trading Strategies - Unilateral: The steel price maintains a bottom - oscillating trend. - Arbitrage: It is recommended to enter into a long - position in the basis when it is low and continue to hold. - Options: It is recommended to wait and see [7][8]. Coking Coal and Coke Related Information - The blast - furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills was 83.59%, a decrease of 0.16 percentage points from last week and an increase of 4.75 percentage points from last year. The blast - furnace iron - making capacity utilization rate was 90.22%, an increase of 0.13 percentage points from last week and an increase of 4.30 percentage points from last year. The steel - mill profitability rate was 65.8%, a decrease of 2.60 percentage points from last week and an increase of 61.04 percentage points from last year. The daily average hot - metal output was 2.4066 million tons, an increase of 0.34 million tons from last week and an increase of 1.189 million tons from last year. - The capacity utilization rate of 523 coking coal mine samples was 85.2%, a month - on - month increase of 1.5%. The daily average raw - coal output was 1.912 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 33,000 tons. The raw - coal inventory was 4.716 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 15,000 tons. The daily average clean - coal output was 771,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 7,000 tons. The clean - coal inventory was 2.756 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 180,000 tons [9]. - The warehouse - receipt price of quasi - first - grade coke (wet - quenched) in Lvliang, Shanxi was 1,596 yuan/ton, in Rizhao Port was 1,616 yuan/ton, and the warehouse - receipt price of quasi - first - grade coke (dry - quenched) in Lvliang, Shanxi was 1,700 yuan/ton. The warehouse - receipt price of Shanxi coal was 1,180 yuan/ton, Mongolian No. 5 coal was 1,099 yuan/ton, Mongolian No. 3 coal was 1,063 yuan/ton, and Australian coal (port spot) was 1,235 yuan/ton [10]. Logic Analysis - The hot - metal production increased slightly this week, and the steel mills' demand for raw materials was resilient. The coal - mine production also increased slightly, but considering factors such as over - production inspection and safety supervision, the resumption of production is expected to be limited. The overall commodity sentiment has cooled recently, and the coking - coal price in the futures market has corrected. In the spot market, the coking - coal price has both increases and decreases, and the downstream procurement enthusiasm has weakened. The seventh - round price increase of coke has partially landed and is expected to be fully implemented in the next two days. In the medium term, due to relevant policies on over - production inspection and safety supervision, the supply of coal will be disturbed, and the coking - coal price center will gradually rise [11]. Trading Strategies - Unilateral: Wait for adjustments and then go long on far - month contracts at low prices. - Arbitrage: Wait and see. - Options: Wait and see. - Spot - futures: Wait and see [13]. Iron Ore Related Information - The EU and the US issued a joint statement, announcing the details of the new trade agreement reached in July. The US will impose a 15% tariff on most EU goods such as automobiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and timber. The EU promised to cancel tariffs on US industrial products and provide preferential market access for US seafood and agricultural products. - In July, the total social electricity consumption reached 1.02 trillion kWh, a year - on - year increase of 8.6%. - As of August 2025, 20 troubled real - estate enterprises' debt restructuring and reorganization have been approved, with a total debt - resolution scale of over 1.2 trillion yuan. - The spot price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 769 yuan (+2), converted to the standard product was 810 yuan; the spot price of Super Special fines was 650 yuan (+5), converted to the standard product was 876 yuan; the spot price of Carajas fines was 881 yuan (+3), converted to the standard product was 838 yuan. The mainstream pricing product was PB fines with a spot price of 769 yuan (+2) and a standard - product price of 810 yuan, and the basis of the main contract of iron ore 01 was 38 [14]. Logic Analysis - The iron ore price oscillated narrowly in the night session. Fundamentally, the shipment of mainstream mines was stable, and it was difficult to see a large increase year - on - year. The shipment of non - mainstream mines in August continued to be at a high level year - on - year and was expected to contribute a certain increase. On the demand side, the growth rate of manufacturing and infrastructure investment slowed down significantly in July. The weakening of manufacturing may be due to the relatively fast progress of equipment - renewal funds in the first half of the year and the slowdown in the second half. Compared with the steel demand in the first half of the year, the demand for construction steel continued to be weak. The steel demand in the manufacturing industry increased by more than 7% year - on - year in the first half of the year, but it has weakened significantly in the third quarter so far, suppressing the current terminal steel demand. Overall, the factors driving the price increase have weakened, and the market may shift to the relatively rapid weakening of terminal steel demand, so the iron ore price is expected to oscillate in the short term [15][16]. Trading Strategies No specific trading strategies for iron ore are provided in a complete form in the text. Ferroalloys Related Information - From January to July 2025, the total domestic billet export volume was 747,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of 309.72%. In July, the domestic billet export volume was 157,980 tons, a month - on - month increase of 34.37% and a year - on - year increase of 349.07%. - On the 21st, the semi - carbonate price at Tianjin Port was 34.5 yuan/ton - degree, Gabon lump was 39.5 yuan/ton - degree, CML Australian lump was 41.5 - 42 yuan/ton - degree, South32 Australian lump was 40.5 yuan/ton - degree, South African high - iron ore was 29.8 yuan/ton - degree, and South African medium - iron lump was 36.5 yuan/ton - degree [18]. Logic Analysis - For ferrosilicon, the spot price was stable with a slight decline on the 21st, and the spot price in some regions decreased by 30 - 50 yuan/ton. On the supply side, the production has been increasing recently. Pay attention to whether the resumption - of - production trend will stop after the price decline. On the demand side, the sample steel production still remained at a high level this week, supporting the demand for raw materials. After the significant price decline this week, the futures price is approaching the cost of some production areas, and the high - premium risk has been largely released, so it is expected to oscillate at the bottom recently [18]. - For silicomanganese, the manganese - ore spot price was stable with a slight decline on the 21st, and the price of Gabon lump at Tianjin Port decreased by 0.1 yuan/ton - degree. The overall silicomanganese spot price declined, and the spot price in some regions decreased by 20 - 100 yuan/ton. On the supply side, also pay attention to whether the current resumption - of - production rhythm will be interrupted after the price decline. On the demand side, the apparent demand of the rebar sample increased slightly this week and has not yet formed a downward trend. At the current price, the high - premium risk has been largely released, so it is expected to oscillate at the bottom recently [19]. Trading Strategies - Unilateral: The futures price is approaching the cost of some production areas, and the high - premium risk has been largely released. It is expected to oscillate at the bottom recently. - Arbitrage: Enter into a long - position in the basis when it is low. - Options: Sell a straddle option combination at high prices [20].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views Coke - The sixth round of coke price increase has started, with an increase of 50 - 55 yuan/ton. Coke enterprise profits have significantly improved, coke production from coke enterprises has increased, while that from steel mills has declined, leading to an overall rise in total coke production. - Last week, the molten iron output decreased slightly on a weekly basis. With the support of non - five major steel products demand, the seasonal decline of molten iron output is expected to be limited and may remain at a high level, which will support the futures market. - Coke enterprise inventory has decreased, steel mill inventory has declined, port inventory has increased on a weekly basis, and the total coke inventory has decreased. - Currently, market sentiment has cooled, and the futures market has returned to the industrial logic. With the sixth round of price increase, coke enterprise profits have recovered significantly, and coke production has slightly increased. The high molten iron output and non - five major steel products demand are expected to limit the decline of molten iron output. Given the relatively high current steel mill inventory level, the subsequent restocking willingness is expected to decline. The coking coal cost has a significant impact on coke, and there are still fluctuations at the coal mine end. A bullish and volatile approach is recommended. The operating range of the coke index is expected to be between 1630 - 1790 [5]. Coking Coal - Affected by over - production inspections, coal mine production has significantly declined. The subsequent military parade on September 3 is expected to further reduce coal mine production. The daily customs clearance volume at Ganqimao Port has recovered to over 100,000 tons. - Coke production has increased on a weekly basis but remains at a low level compared to previous years, providing limited support for coking coal demand. - After a period of restocking, the current restocking willingness of downstream enterprises has weakened, and the pace of coal mine inventory reduction has significantly slowed down. Last week, coke enterprises reduced inventory, steel mills restocked, and ports reduced inventory. The total coking coal inventory has decreased. - Under the influence of over - production inspections, coal mine production has significantly contracted. Coupled with the upcoming military parade on September 3, coal mine production may continue to be affected. The customs clearance of Mongolian coal remains at a high level. Coke production is at a low level compared to the same period in previous years, providing limited support for coking coal demand. The restocking intensity of coking coal downstream has slowed down, and coal mine inventory has slightly decreased. Currently, coking coal supply has contracted while the demand side still has support, with a relatively good fundamental situation. A bullish and volatile view is taken, and the operating range of the coking coal index is expected to be between 1120 - 1290 [6]. Summary by Directory Coke Supply - The sixth round of coke price increase has started, with an increase of 50 - 55 yuan/ton.
