Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term fundamental improvements support the coal price to run strongly, but price fluctuations remain severe, and cautious participation is recommended [4] Group 3: Summary According to the Content Market Conditions - Last week, coal - coke futures prices fluctuated strongly, with intense long - short games. Coking coal spot prices maintained a strong trend. On Friday, coke enterprises started the 6th round of coke price increase, but mainstream steel mills have not responded [3] - Recently, market news said that from August 16th to 25th, Tangshan independent steel rolling enterprises may be shut down at any time according to weather conditions, and must be shut down from August 25th to September 3rd. If the measures are implemented, the daily output of 35 profile steel enterprises in Tangshan will be affected by about 90,000 tons [3] Supply - side Situation - The verification of coal mine over - production in Shanxi is being promoted in depth. Many coal mines have spontaneously reduced production. Combined with the approaching military parade in September and the severe safety supervision situation, short - term coal mine production increase is limited [4] - The structural inventory pressure of coking coal has been significantly relieved. Currently, the raw coal inventory of 523 coal mines is 4.765 million tons, a decrease of 2.245 million tons from the high in June; the clean coal inventory is 2.457 million tons, a decrease of 2.543 million tons from the high in June [4] Demand - side Situation - This week, the raw material replenishment actions of coking plants and steel mills have slowed down. After the available days of coking coal inventory in factories rebounded from a low level, they tended to be stable. Last week, the average daily hot metal output of steel mills was 2.4032 million tons, a decrease of 3,900 tons from the previous week and an increase of 86,200 tons compared with the same period last year [4] Later Concerns - Pay attention to the changes in the blast furnace startup rate of steel mills and the resumption of coal mines [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Recently, the macro - atmosphere has been warm, leading to a strong rebound in the coking coal and coke futures market. Speculative demand has entered the market to lock in goods, tightening the spot liquidity. Coal enterprises have raised prices, pressuring coking profits. The second round of price increases by coking plants at the beginning of the week is likely to be implemented. - This week, iron ore prices rebounded strongly, shrinking the immediate steel profits, but the steel profits calculated based on raw material inventories are still expanding. Steel mills have little intention to voluntarily reduce hot metal production, resulting in strong procurement demand for coking coal and coke. - In the short term, the market may continue to fluctuate strongly. In the long - term, the sharp rise in furnace materials poses a potential threat to steel mill profitability, and high hot metal production may not be sustainable. Steel billet export orders have declined significantly, and inventory accumulation in Tangshan has accelerated, which may trigger a negative feedback mechanism. - In terms of operations, it is recommended to stay on the sidelines for single - side trading and not to chase high prices. For arbitrage, pay attention to the opportunity of the 9 - 1 reverse spread of coking coal and coke. [4] 3.

[3] 3.4 Core Contradiction - Short - term: The combination of speculative and rigid demand supports the prices of coking coal and coke, and the market may continue to fluctuate strongly. - Long - term: The strong rise of furnace materials threatens steel mill profits, and high hot metal production may not last.
