Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Coal and Coking Industry Risk Management Daily Report - Date: August 22, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Research Institute, Black Research Team - Analyst: Zhang Xuan [2] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Report's Core View - This week, the macro sentiment cooled down. The speculative inventory of futures and cash entered in the early stage was partially unwound. Coupled with mine复产, near - month delivery game, and pressure on the apparent demand for finished products, the static fundamental of coking coal weakened marginally, and the spot price increase was weak. Looking forward, the details of the "anti - involution" policy need time to be introduced, and the macro sentiment may fluctuate. The long - term price trend of coking coal is relatively optimistic. It is recommended to buy coking coal 2601 contract on dips. To break through the previous high, a substantial reduction in coking coal supply or an unexpectedly positive policy is needed [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Double - Coking Price Range Forecast - Coking coal price range (monthly): 1060 - 1350, current volatility (20 - day rolling): 32.68%, current volatility historical percentile: 63.87% - Coke price range (monthly): 1600 - 1800, current volatility (20 - day rolling): 25.37%, current volatility historical percentile: 49.13% [2] 3.2 Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report | Variety | Unit | 2025 - 08 - 22 | 2025 - 08 - 21 | 2025 - 08 - 15 | Day - on - day | Week - on - week | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rebar | Tons | 158633 | 137310 | 120312 | 21323 | 38321 | | Hot - rolled coil | Tons | 32215 | 33992 | 79286 | - 1777 | - 47071 | | Iron ore | Lots | 2000 | 2000 | 3100 | 0 | - 1100 | | Coking coal | Lots | 0 | 800 | 0 | - 800 | 0 | | Coke | Lots | 820 | 820 | 820 | 0 | 0 | | Ferrosilicon | Sheets | 20474 | 20202 | 20916 | 272 | - 442 | | Silicomanganese | Sheets | 70094 | 71820 | 74797 | - 1726 | - 4703 | [2] 3.3 Coal and Coking Futures Price and Basis - Coking coal: Multiple indicators such as warehouse receipt cost, basis, and inter - month spreads are provided, showing different changes compared with the previous day and the previous week [9] - Coke: Similar to coking coal, multiple indicators including warehouse receipt cost, basis, and inter - month spreads are presented with corresponding changes [9] 3.4 Coal and Coking Spot Price - Coking coal: The spot prices of various types of coking coal, such as Anze low - sulfur coking coal, Mongolian coal, and imported coal, are shown, with some prices remaining unchanged and some having slight changes over different time periods [10] - Coke: The spot prices of different types of coke, including quasi - first - grade wet coke and dry coke in different regions, and export prices are provided. The current volatility of coke prices is relatively small, and the profit of coke export remains stable [10] 3.5利多 and 利空 Factors - **Likely Positive Factors** - The expectation of "anti - involution" in coal mines still exists, and the production increase space of mines in the second half of the year may be limited [8] - A safety accident in a mine in Fujian may cause market concerns about strong safety supervision [8] - Before the Fourth Plenary Session of the 10th Central Committee in October, there is room for policy expectation games [8] - **Likely Negative Factors** - The apparent demand for rebar is poor, and there is pressure on the real - end of finished products [8] - The Dalian Commodity Exchange has restricted the position of the main coking coal contract, and the speculation degree of coking coal is expected to decline [8] - The 7 - round price increase of coke has been implemented, and it is more difficult to continue the price increase. The market may anticipate the peak of the price increase in advance [8]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the main coal and coking contracts hit the daily limit continuously, and the short - term price deviated from the fundamentals. The Dalian Commodity Exchange took position - limit measures for coking coal. The market sentiment cooled down significantly at the beginning of the week, but the overall upward trend remained unchanged. The "anti - involution" policy expectation supported commodity prices, and the pre - parade production restrictions provided a floor for the prices of the black series. In the short term, coal and coking prices were likely to rise rather than fall. It was necessary to be vigilant against the callback risk caused by the macro - policy falling short of expectations. In terms of operation, due to the intense capital game, it was recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading, and to focus on the reverse spread of coking coal 9 - 1 for arbitrage [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Forecast and Strategy - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range forecast for coking coal is 1030 - 1300, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 32.68% and a historical percentile of 63.87%. For coke, the price range is 1350 - 1800, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 25.37% and a historical percentile of 49.13% [3]. - **Risk Management Strategy**: For the arbitrage scenario of inter - month arbitrage with no spot exposure, it is recommended to short the spread between coking coal contracts 9 - 1 (jm2509&jm2601), with a selling direction and a suggested entry range of (-40, -30) [3]. 3.2 Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report - **Inventory Changes**: On July 29, 2025, compared with July 28, 2025, the inventory of rebar increased by 594 tons to 85034 tons; the inventory of hot - rolled coils decreased by 590 tons to 57772 tons; the inventory of iron ore remained unchanged at 3400 hands; the inventory of coking coal decreased by 500 hands to 0 hands; the inventory of coke remained unchanged at 760 hands; the inventory of ferrosilicon decreased by 6 sheets to 22003 sheets; and the inventory of silicomanganese decreased by 454 sheets to 78736 sheets [3]. 3.3 Analysis of Core Contradictions - **Market Trend**: The short - term price of coal and coking deviated from the fundamentals, but the overall upward trend remained. The "anti - involution" policy expectation and pre - parade production restrictions supported the prices, making them likely to rise. However, there was a risk of callback due to macro - policy falling short of expectations. It was recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading and focus on the reverse spread of coking coal 9 - 1 for arbitrage [4]. 3.4 Interpretation of Bullish and Bearish Factors - **Bullish Factors**: The expectation of "anti - involution" in coal mines still exists, and the production increase space of mines in the second half of the year may be limited; downstream steel mills have good profits, providing a basis for raw material price increases; the Fourth Plenary Session in October [5]. - **Bearish Factors**: The import profit of overseas coal has recovered, and there will be pressure on subsequent arrivals; the customs clearance of Mongolian coal has resumed, with more than 1000 trucks per day currently; off - balance - sheet inventory of futures and spot has flowed into the market, putting pressure on spot prices [5]. 3.5 Coal and Coking Prices - **Warehouse Receipt Cost and Basis**: The document provides the warehouse receipt cost and basis data of coking coal (including different varieties such as Tangshan Mongolian 5) and coke (including different delivery methods and regions). For example, the warehouse receipt cost of Tangshan Mongolian 5 coking coal is 1008, and the main basis is - 109.5 [7]. - **Spot Price**: The document shows the spot prices of various coal and coking products on July 30, 2025, July 29, 2025, and July 23, 2025, as well as their daily and weekly changes. For example, the ex - factory price of Anze low - sulfur main coking coal is 1450 yuan/ton, with no daily change and a weekly increase of 70 yuan/ton [8]. - **Profit**: Data on import profits of various types of coal (such as Mongolian coal, Australian coal, and Russian coal), export profits of coke, and coking profits are provided. For example, the import profit of long - term contract Mongolian coal is 368 yuan/ton, with a daily decrease of 28 yuan/ton and a weekly increase of 162 yuan/ton [8].

Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Coal and Coking Industry Risk Management Daily Report - Date: June 23, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Research Institute, Black Research Team 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The supply-demand contradiction of coking coal has eased, and with the support of geopolitical conflicts on energy products, the futures market may continue to rise in the short term. However, downstream enterprises generally lack confidence in future demand, and this rebound has not boosted the sentiment in the spot market. The inventory of upstream coking coal mines is continuously accumulating, and the pressure on spot sales remains high. The probability of an immediate price increase after the fourth round of price cuts is low. Unilateral operations are advised to wait and see, and the industry can focus on hedging opportunities at low basis levels [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Forecast and Risk Management Strategies - **Price Range Forecast (Monthly)**: The forecast price range for coking coal is 700 - 850, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 38.07% and a historical percentile of 75.79%. The forecast price range for coke is 1320 - 1450, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 26.36% and a historical percentile of 53.39% [2]. - **Risk Management Strategies**: For those looking to lock in selling prices due to concerns about price drops when steel mills propose price cuts for coke or when coking coal spot inventory is high, it is recommended to short the J2509 coke contract or the JM2509 coking coal contract. The suggested hedging ratios and entry intervals are provided [2]. 3.2 Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report | Commodity | Unit | June 23, 2025 | June 20, 2025 | Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rebar | Tons | 18,221 | 18,221 | 0 | | Hot - Rolled Coil | Tons | 75,537 | 77,312 | - 1,775 | | Iron Ore | Lots | 3,000 | 3,000 | 0 | | Coking Coal | Lots | 0 | 100 | - 100 | | Coke | Lots | 90 | 90 | 0 | | Ferrosilicon | Sheets | 12,535 | 13,832 | - 1,297 | | Silicomanganese | Sheets | 94,951 | 95,545 | - 594 | [3] 3.3 Market Analysis - **Positive Factors**: High molten iron production, stable steel mill profitability, and the absence of obvious off - season characteristics in the steel market [4]. - **Negative Factors**: Unstable operations of mines and coal washing plants during the safety production month, rising pithead prices during the peak demand season for thermal coal, intensified energy price fluctuations due to the tense situation in the Middle East, low probability of an immediate price increase after the fourth round of price cuts, stable coal production and supply throughout the year, and a decline in coal and coking demand following the inflection point of molten iron production [6][7] 3.4 Price Data - **Coal and Coking Futures Prices**: Data on coking coal and coke futures prices, including warehouse receipt costs, basis, spreads between different contract months, and relevant ratios such as coking profit, ore - coke ratio, etc., are provided, along with their daily and weekly changes [7]. - **Coal and Coking Spot Prices**: Data on various coal and coke spot prices, including those of domestic and imported coal, different grades of coke, and relevant profit data such as coking profit, import profit, and export profit, are provided, along with their daily and weekly changes [8][9]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - China-US relations have eased, driving market sentiment to recover. Coking coal has better rebound elasticity due to previous over - decline in the futures market, while coke rebounds following coking coal but with a weaker amplitude due to downstream price cuts, and the coking profit on the futures market has shrunk. The coking coal and coke futures have basically repaired the discount, and the current basis is in a reasonable range. Although there is rigid support for the demand for coking coal and coke in the short term, there are no conditions for bottom - fishing at present. It is recommended to close short positions at low levels and keep previous short positions at high levels. The industry can focus on hedging opportunities under low basis [2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Double - Coking Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for coking coal is 700 - 850, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 39.52% and a historical percentile of 77.99%. For coke, the monthly price range forecast is 1270 - 1400, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 26.87% and a historical percentile of 54.55% [1] 2. Double - Coking Risk Management Strategy Recommendations - When steel mills propose price cuts for coke and are worried about price drops, for those with long spot exposure, it is recommended to short the J2509 contract of coke. The hedging ratio is 25% when the entry range is 1350 - 1380 and 50% when it is 1380 - 1410. When the coking coal spot inventory is high and there are concerns about further price drops, for those with long spot exposure, it is recommended to short the JM2509 contract of coking coal. The hedging ratio is 25% when the entry range is 770 - 800 and 50% when it is 800 - 830 [1] 3. Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report - On June 11, 2025, compared with June 10, 2025, the warehouse receipts of hot - rolled coils decreased by 2358 tons, silicon iron decreased by 20 sheets, and silicon manganese increased by 288 sheets, while the warehouse receipts of rebar, iron ore, coking coal, and coke remained unchanged [2] 4. Bullish Factors - China - US representatives held talks in London, warming market sentiment; mine开工 declined, leading to a temporary mismatch in coking coal supply and demand; and it is the peak season for thermal coal demand, with pit - head prices firm [3] 5. Bearish Factors - An inflection point in hot metal production has emerged, leading to weaker demand for coking coal and coke [4] 6. Coking Coal and Coke Futures Prices - From June 4 to June 11, 2025, the coking coal and coke futures prices and related spreads and basis have changed. For example, the coking coal warehouse receipt cost (Tangshan Meng 5) decreased by 20 yuan/ton week - on - week, and the coking coal 09 - 01 spread increased by 8.5 [4] 7. Coking Coal and Coke Spot Prices - From June 4 to June 11, 2025, most coking coal and coke spot prices decreased. For example, the ex - factory price of Anze low - sulfur main coking coal decreased by 10 yuan/ton week - on - week, and the ex - factory price of Lvliang quasi - first - grade coke decreased by 70 yuan/ton week - on - week [5] 8. Other Information - Three rounds of price cuts for coke have been implemented, and there is an expectation of another round of price cuts this month. Throughout the year, the general direction of stable coal production and supply guarantee remains unchanged [6]

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Coal and Coking Industry Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: May 13, 2025 [1] - Research Team: Nanhua Research Institute, Black Research Team [2] - Analysts: Yuan Ming (Z0012648), Zhang Xuan (F03118257) [2] - Investment Consulting Business Qualification: CSRC License [2011] No. 1290 [2] Group 2: Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Group 3: Core Views - Steel's spot profit remains high, driving iron - water production up. Coal and coke have short - term strong supply and demand, with a fair fundamental situation. In the long - term, due to coal supply guarantee and crude steel reduction expectations, coking coal surplus is hard to resolve, and coal prices may decline slowly. Coke's supply - demand contradiction is relatively controllable, but steel's far - month orders are falling, and the first price cut has started, making it difficult for the coke futures to rise. Maintain the idea of shorting on rebounds and avoid bottom - fishing [4]. Group 4: Risk Management Strategies Coke - For coking plants with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, they can short J2509 coke futures according to sales plans. 25% hedging ratio at 1500 - 1550, 50% at 1550 - 1600 [3] Coking Coal - For traders with high coking coal inventory worried about price drops, they can sell JM2509 coking coal futures to lock in selling prices. 25% hedging ratio at 900 - 950, 50% at 950 - 1000 [3] Group 5: Market Analysis 利多解读 - Tariff negotiation eases, leading to a rebound in global risk assets [5] 利空解读 - Steel mills start the first price cut, to be implemented on the 16th; domestic coal mines have weak incentives to cut production, and stable supply causes serious coking coal surplus [8] - Black futures' daily warehouse receipt data shows that most products' warehouse receipts decreased on May 13, 2025, except for coking coal, coke, silicon iron, and silicon manganese which increased [6] - Coal and coke spot price data shows that most prices remained stable on May 13, 2025, with some having weekly declines [6][9] Group 6: Graphical Analysis - There are multiple graphs including coking coal and coke spot price trends, spread seasonality, basis seasonality, warehouse receipt inventory seasonality, price difference between domestic and foreign coking coal, profit seasonality, and ratio seasonality [10][11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][31][33][35][39]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - Affected by the news of crude steel reduction, the profit of steel mills on the futures market has expanded rapidly. Recently, the spot price of steel has followed the increase, and the immediate spot profit of steel has improved. High profits will drive the continued increase in hot metal production. In the short term, the supply and demand of coking coal and coke are both strong, and the price bottom has certain support. In the medium and long term, considering that it takes time to formulate the details of the crude steel reduction policy, if the policy cannot be implemented immediately, steel mills have no incentive to cut production voluntarily under high profits. When the real demand weakens in late May, the contradictions in the steel market will accumulate again, and the black industry will face a new round of negative feedback. In terms of operation, it is recommended to wait and see in the short term, hold a light position during the May Day holiday, and short jm&j2509 at high prices after the holiday [4]. Group 3: Risk Management Strategy Recommendations Coking Coal - For traders with high coking coal spot inventory worried about further price drops, to prevent price declines from affecting trading profits, they can sell coking coal futures (JM2509) to lock in the sales price in advance. The recommended hedging ratio is 25% at 980 - 1030, 50% at 1030 - 1080 [3]. Coke - For coking plants with high finished - product inventory worried about coke price drops, to prevent price declines from damaging coking profits, they can short coke futures (J2509) according to the sales plan to lock in the price. The recommended hedging ratio is 25% at 1600 - 1650, 50% at 1650 - 1700 [3]. Group 4: Market Conditions Analysis 利多 Factors - Steel mills have high profits, and there is still an expectation of increased hot metal production [5]. 利空 Factors - The trade war has escalated, and the US has imposed huge tariffs on China, causing concerns about steel exports. - Coking coal is in serious oversupply. In the Shanxi region, producers are increasing production and reducing prices to maintain sales volume. - The topic of crude steel reduction has been hyped repeatedly [5].
