1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Last week, steel prices showed a pattern of low - level upward repair, but with weak demand and insufficient upward momentum. The overall steel market is expected to maintain a range - bound trend, with rebar in the 3000 - 3200 range and hot - rolled coils in the 3150 - 3350 range [1]. - Rebar has good de - stocking performance, and the 1 - 5 positive spread can be held. The acceleration of plate production cuts is expected to speed up the de - stocking of hot - rolled coils, and the 5 - month hot - rolled coil to rebar spread can be exited at low levels. The screw - to - ore ratio is still weak, and considering the low level of molten iron, one can try to long the screw - to - ore ratio arbitrage at low levels [1]. Iron Ore Industry - Last week, iron ore prices rebounded slightly and remained range - bound. The key factors for future trading are the steel mill restocking expectation and the downward space of molten iron. The overall iron ore market is expected to maintain a range - bound trend, with the range of 730 - 820. It is recommended to operate the 05 contract within the range and try shorting around 800 [4]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry - Last week, both coke and coking coal futures showed a strong rebound. Coke spot prices are still in a downward adjustment trend, and there is still an expectation of further price cuts in the short term. For coke, it is recommended to go long the 2605 contract at low levels and consider the arbitrage strategy of long coking coal and short coke. For coking coal, it is also recommended to go long the 2605 contract at low levels and use the same arbitrage strategy [7]. Ferrosilicon and Ferromanganese Industry - Last week, ferrosilicon prices rebounded slightly. The supply - demand contradiction of ferrosilicon still needs to be resolved, and the price is expected to be range - bound between 5400 - 5650. It is recommended to try shorting when the price rebounds above the immediate cost in Ningxia [8]. - Ferromanganese is in a state of overall supply - demand balance, and manganese ore provides certain support for ferromanganese prices. The key factors for the future are the production cut amplitude and the steel mill restocking before winter. The price is expected to move weakly with limited amplitude [8]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Reports Steel Industry - Steel prices are affected by the decline in raw material coking coal prices. The fundamentals show a trend of production reduction. Considering that coking coal prices have not stabilized, steel is expected to remain weak. Pay attention to the support levels of around 3000 yuan for rebar and 3200 yuan for hot - rolled coils in May. The convergence arbitrage of the January hot - rolled coil to rebar spread can continue to be held, and the rebar - to - iron ore ratio arbitrage should stop profit and exit [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The iron ore futures will oscillate weakly. One - sided trading can short the Iron Ore 2605 contract on rallies, with an operating range of 730 - 780 [4]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry - For coke, it is viewed as oscillating and bearish on a one - sided basis, with a range of 1450 - 1600. The recommended arbitrage is to go long on coke and short on coking coal. For coking coal, it is also viewed as oscillating and bearish on a one - sided basis, with a range of 1000 - 1150, and the same arbitrage strategy is recommended [6]. 3.

Group 1: Steel Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core Viewpoints Steel prices are stable, but the basis is weakening. Coke coal prices have dropped significantly, while iron ore prices are rising. The overall demand for five major steel products is declining, and steel mills are reducing production. However, the daily average hot metal production has increased, which is expected to lead to a rebound in the output of finished steel products. In terms of different varieties, the production and inventory of rebar are decreasing, with relatively few contradictions. The supply and demand of hot-rolled coils are basically balanced, but the inventory is at a high level and has not been cleared, so the spread between hot-rolled coils and rebar will continue to converge. The port inventory of iron ore is continuously accumulating, and the supply of iron elements in the January contract is becoming more abundant, so it is not recommended to go long. On a single side, the apparent demand for steel is falling, and the inventory has not been cleared, so a short position can be considered [1]. Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: The spot prices of rebar and hot-rolled coils in different regions have shown different degrees of change. The prices of rebar 05, 10, and 01 contracts and hot-rolled coils 05, 10, and 01 contracts have all declined. The profit margins of steel products in different regions and production processes have also changed, with some showing an increase and some a decrease [1]. - **Cost and Profit**: The prices of steel billets and slab billets remain unchanged. The cost of electric furnace rebar in Jiangsu is stable, while the cost of converter rebar has decreased. The profit margins of hot-rolled coils in different regions have increased to varying degrees [1]. - **Production**: The daily average hot metal production has increased by 2.6 to 236.8, a rise of 1.1%. The production of five major steel products has decreased by 22.4 to 834.4, a decline of 2.6%. The production of rebar has decreased by 8.5 to 200.0, a decline of 4.1%, including a 4.0% decrease in electric furnace production and a 4.1% decrease in converter production. The production of hot-rolled coils has decreased by 4.5 to 313.7, a decline of 1.4% [1]. - **Inventory**: The inventory of five major steel products has decreased by 26.2 to 1477.4, a decline of 1.7%. The inventory of rebar has decreased by 16.4 to 576.2, a decline of 2.8%. The inventory of hot-rolled coils has remained basically unchanged [1]. - **Transaction and Demand**: The building materials trading volume has decreased by 3.7 to 9.6, a decline of 27.9%. The apparent demand for five major steel products has decreased by 6.3 to 860.6, a decline of 0.7%. The apparent demand for rebar has decreased by 2.2 to 216.4, a decline of 1.0%. The apparent demand for hot-rolled coils has decreased by 0.7 to 313.6, a decline of 0.2% [1]. Group 2: Iron Ore Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core Viewpoints The iron ore futures continued to rebound yesterday. On the supply side, the global shipment volume of iron ore has increased week-on-week, while the arrival volume at 45 ports has continued to decline. However, based on recent shipment data, the average arrival volume in the future is expected to increase. On the demand side, the profit margin of steel mills has slightly declined, the hot metal production has increased, and the replenishment demand of steel mills has increased. From the data of five major steel products, it can be seen that the production and inventory are continuing to decline seasonally, the apparent demand is decreasing, and the demand is weakening. In terms of inventory, the port inventory is accumulating, but the inventory of deliverable products is low. The port clearance volume has increased, and the equity ore inventory of steel mills has risen. Looking forward, although the hot metal production has increased this week, there is limited room for further increase. The current profit margin and inventory level of steel mills are not sufficient to trigger a negative feedback. It is expected that iron ore will show a high-level oscillating trend, and a wait-and-see approach is recommended for single-side trading [5]. Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: The basis of iron ore 01 contract for different varieties has decreased to varying degrees. The 5 - 9 spread has decreased by 1.0 to 23.5, a decline of 4.1%. The 9 - 1 spread has decreased by 1.5 to -58.0, a decline of 2.7%. The 1 - 5 spread has increased by 2.5 to 34.5, an increase of 7.8% [5]. - **Supply**: The weekly arrival volume at 45 ports has decreased by 472.3 to 2268.9, a decline of 17.2%. The global weekly shipment volume has increased by 447.4 to 3516.4, an increase of 14.6%. The monthly national import volume has increased by 1111.6 to 11632.6, an increase of 10.6% [5]. - **Demand**: The weekly average daily hot metal production of 247 steel mills has increased by 2.7 to 236.9, an increase of 1.1%. The weekly average daily port clearance volume at 45 ports has increased by 6.0 to 327.0, an increase of 1.9%. The monthly national pig iron production has decreased by 49.7 to 6554.9, a decline of 0.8%. The monthly national crude steel production has decreased by 149.3 to 7199.7, a decline of 2.0% [5]. - **Inventory**: The weekly port inventory at 45 ports has decreased slightly by 0.1% to 15114.45. The weekly imported ore inventory of 247 steel mills has increased by 66.1 to 9076.0, an increase of 0.7%. The inventory available days of 64 steel mills remain unchanged at 21.0 days [5]. Group 3: Coke and Coking Coal Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core Viewpoints Yesterday, the coke and coking coal futures both showed a weak downward trend. The spot price of coking coal in Shanxi has shown signs of loosening, and the auction price has reached the highest level of the year, providing cost support for coke. The fourth round of price increase for coke has been fully implemented, and it is expected to remain stable in the short term, but mainstream coking enterprises still have plans for further price increases. On the supply side, the production of some停产 coal mines in Shanxi, Luliang, Linfen, and Wuhai is expected to increase, but the production recovery is limited. The customs clearance of Mongolian coal has increased significantly since November, and the inventory at the port has continued to rise. On the demand side, the environmental protection restrictions in Tangshan have been lifted, the hot metal production has increased from a low level, the steel price has oscillated weakly, and the profit of steel mills has decreased, which has a certain suppression effect on the price increase of coke. In terms of inventory, the inventory of coking plants, ports, and steel mills has decreased slightly, and the overall inventory is slightly lower than the middle level, with a tight supply - demand situation for coke and passive destocking by downstream enterprises. For coking coal, the inventory of coking enterprises and ports has decreased, while the inventory of coal mines, coal washing plants, ports, and steel mills has increased, and the overall inventory is slightly higher than the middle level. It is recommended to take a bearish view on single - side trading with an oscillating range for coke between 1600 - 1750 and for coking coal between 1100 - 1250, and to wait and see for the time being [8]. Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: The prices of coke and coking coal contracts have decreased to varying degrees. The spreads between different contracts of coke and coking coal have also changed. The coking profit of Steel Union (weekly) and the profit of sample coal mines (weekly) have shown different trends [8]. - **Supply**: The daily average production of all - sample coking plants has decreased by 0.6 to 63.0, a decline of 0.9%. The daily average production of 247 steel mills has increased slightly by 0.1 to 46.2, an increase of 0.2%. The production of raw coal and clean coal has increased to varying degrees [8]. - **Demand**: The hot metal production of 247 steel mills has increased by 2.7 to 236.9, an increase of 1.1%. The demand for coke is related to the production of hot metal, and the production of coke has also shown a certain change [8]. - **Inventory**: The total inventory of coke has decreased by 7.7 to 879.4, a decline of 0.9%. The inventory of coking plants, steel mills, and ports has all decreased to varying degrees. The inventory of coking coal has also changed, with the inventory of some parties increasing and some decreasing [8]. - **Supply - Demand Gap**: The calculated supply - demand gap of coke has decreased by 1.8 to -5.5 [8].

Report on the Steel Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - In August, the apparent demand for steel decreased month-on-month, the supply-demand gap widened, and inventory accumulation was obvious. In September - October, there is an expectation of seasonal strengthening in demand. If the apparent demand recovers, the supply-demand gap will narrow, and inventory accumulation will slow down, but high production still tests the demand - absorbing capacity during the peak season. Currently, steel prices have fallen from high levels. Unilateral short - selling space is limited, and selling out - of - the - money put options can be considered. With the obvious contraction of steel mill profits and considering the expected reduction in coking coal production, going long on the steel - iron ore ratio can be considered [1]. Summary by Directory Steel Prices and Spreads - The prices of various steel products such as rebar and hot - rolled coils in different regions and contracts have decreased, with rebar 10 - contract dropping by 51 yuan/ton and hot - rolled coil 01 - contract dropping by 43 yuan/ton [1]. Cost and Profit - The billet price decreased by 50 yuan/ton, and the slab price remained unchanged. The profits of hot - rolled coils in different regions showed different trends, with the profit in North China increasing by 22 yuan/ton and that in East China decreasing by 8 yuan/ton [1]. Supply - The daily average pig iron output decreased by 0.7 to 240.1, a decrease of 0.3%. The output of five major steel products increased by 6.5 to 884.6, an increase of 0.7%. Among them, the electric - furnace output increased by 1.5 to 31.3, an increase of 5.0%, and the converter output increased by 4.4 to 189.3, an increase of 2.4% [1]. Inventory - The rebar inventory increased by 16.4 to 623.4, an increase of 2.7%, and the hot - rolled coil inventory increased by 4.0 to 365.5, an increase of 1.1%. The inventory of five major steel products increased by 26.8 to 1467.9, an increase of 1.9% [1]. Transaction and Demand - The building materials trading volume increased by 0.6 to 8.9, an increase of 6.6%. The apparent demand for five major steel products increased by 4.8 to 857.8, an increase of 0.6%. The apparent demand for rebar increased by 9.4 to 204.2, an increase of 4.8%, and that for hot - rolled coils decreased by 0.5 to 320.7, a decrease of 0.2% [1]. Report on the Iron Ore Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The global iron ore shipping volume has increased significantly to a high for the year, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has risen. The demand side is affected by the high - level steel mill profit rate and the limited production during the military parade in Tangshan, with pig iron output slightly decreasing from a high level. The port inventory has decreased slightly, and the steel mill's equity iron ore inventory has decreased. In the future, pig iron output will slightly decline around the military parade, and the fundamentals are difficult to drive a sharp rise. The demand during the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" is questionable. Unilateral short - selling at high levels is recommended, and the strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coking coal is recommended [3]. Summary by Directory Iron Ore - Related Prices and Spreads - The warehouse - receipt costs of various iron ore powders have decreased, with the warehouse - receipt cost of Carajás fines decreasing by 19.8 to 792.3, a decrease of 2.4%. The 01 - contract basis of various iron ore powders has increased, with the 01 - contract basis of Carajás fines increasing by 17.2 to 26.3, an increase of 188.8% [3]. Spot Prices and Price Indexes - The spot prices of various iron ore powders at Rizhao Port have decreased, with the price of Carajás fines at Rizhao Port decreasing by 18.0 to 873.0, a decrease of 2.0%. The prices of iron ore indexes such as the Singapore Exchange 62% Fe swap have also slightly decreased [3]. Supply - The 45 - port arrival volume (weekly) increased by 132.7 to 2526.0, an increase of 5.5%, and the global shipping volume (weekly) increased by 241.0 to 3556.8, an increase of 7.3%. The national monthly import volume decreased by 131.5 to 10462.3, a decrease of 1.2% [3]. Demand - The daily average pig iron output of 247 steel mills (weekly) decreased by 0.6 to 240.1, a decrease of 0.2%. The daily average port clearance volume of 45 ports (weekly) decreased by 7.1 to 318.6, a decrease of 2.2%. The national monthly pig iron output and crude steel output also decreased [3]. Inventory Changes - The 45 - port inventory decreased by 35.7 to 13763.02, a decrease of 0.3%. The imported iron ore inventory of 247 steel mills (weekly) decreased by 58.3 to 9007.2, a decrease of 0.6% [3]. Report on the Coke Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The coke futures have shown a volatile downward trend, and the spot price has stabilized after the increase. The supply side has a slight decrease in coking enterprise start - up due to limited production in some areas, and the demand side has a high - level decline in blast furnace pig iron. The inventory in various links has slightly increased, and the overall inventory is at a medium level. There is a possibility of a future price decline. Speculative short - selling at high levels is recommended, and the strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coke is recommended [5].
