1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - Last week, steel and ore prices moved sideways with minor fluctuations. The traditional consumption off - season has arrived, leading to a decline in the apparent demand for steel and an increase in iron ore port inventories. The pessimistic expectation for future demand has been the core trading logic this year. However, external factors such as the Middle - East situation driving up crude oil prices and the expectation of new domestic real - estate policies are starting to impact this logic. Currently, these factors have not had a substantial impact on reality, and attention should be paid to changes in trading volume. It is recommended to focus on intraday short - term trading for now and conduct trend trading after policy confirmation [67]. 3.
