However, the steel price lacks strong driving forces and is expected to stay within a certain range [29]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the coking coal prices in the domestic market fluctuated. The seventh round of coke price increase was fully implemented, strengthening cost support. However, due to policy regulation and insufficient downstream demand, the futures prices were under pressure. The current market pricing logic is gradually returning to fundamental factors. The supply is slightly recovering, but still affected by disruptions. The demand is supported by the rigid needs and low inventories of coking enterprises. The supply - demand contradiction is not prominent for the time being. It is recommended to mainly conduct range - bound operations for single - side trading, and to mainly stay on the sidelines for inter - period arbitrage and coking profit trading [2][4][30] 3.

The steel mill segment showed a structure of "high production, weak inventory reduction, and strong expectations". Coke prices were supported by demand resilience, but the pressure of steel inventory accumulation and potential production restriction policies would limit their upward space [2] 3.4 Market Outlook and Investment Strategies - On the supply side, some coal mines that had stopped or reduced production resumed operations, but there were still new production stoppages and reductions in some areas. The average daily customs clearance at the Ganqimaodu Port increased by 239 vehicles to 1,263 vehicles [30] - On the demand side, coke production increased slightly, but coking enterprises maintained a demand - based procurement strategy, and upstream coal mines began to accumulate a small amount of inventory [30] - Overall, the supply recovery was limited due to continuous disruptions, and the demand was supported by the rigid needs and low inventories of coking enterprises.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuates strongly, with a decrease in open interest, a spot discount, and a weakening basis. Fundamentally, in the mining end, due to the release of copper mine supply, the spot index of copper concentrate TC has rebounded but is still in the negative range. The firmness of copper mines still supports the copper price. In terms of supply, the copper concentrate at ports continues to decline, and the demand of domestic smelters has increased. It is expected that the supply of refined copper in China may increase slightly. In terms of demand, due to the continued impact of the off - season, downstream consumption is still relatively flat. However, as the peak season approaches, downstream may have a certain demand for advance stocking, so the overall demand is expected to gradually improve. Overall, the fundamentals of Shanghai copper may show a slight increase in supply, stable but improving demand, and the industry inventory remains in the medium - low range. In the options market, the call - put ratio of at - the - money option positions is 1.18, a month - on - month increase of 0.0267.
