1. Report Industry Investment Rating - All varieties (including rebar, hot-rolled coil, iron ore, coke, coking coal, ferromanganese, and ferrosilicon) are rated as "Cautiously Bullish" [1] 2. Report's Core View - The steel market has been declining but may rebound in the short term due to factors like policy disturbances and Fed's loose signals. Iron ore prices are expected to be strong in the short term because of the increasing likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September. Coke and coking coal may see short - term rebounds due to safety inspection expectations after the Fujian coal mine accident. Ferromanganese and ferrosilicon may also have short - term rebounds influenced by macro - sentiment but should be sold at high prices in the medium term [1][3][7][11][15][19] 3. Summary by Variety Rebar - **View**: Currently, blast furnace profits are good, and electric furnace profits have improved. Steel mills are highly motivated to produce, with high pig iron production. However, demand is weak, and construction steel sales are at a low level. The limit on blast furnaces in Tangshan during the military parade was lower than expected, and supply - demand is expected to be loose [1][4] - **Operation Suggestion**: The "anti - involution" atmosphere has faded, and the market has declined. But there may be policy disturbances later, and it may rebound in the short term after the Fed's loose signals [1][5] Hot - Rolled Coil - **View**: Production, apparent demand, and inventory have all slightly increased, and the fundamentals are relatively stable. The impact of blast furnace limits in Tangshan during the military parade is limited, and supply - demand has a loose trend [1][4] - **Operation Suggestion**: The futures are weak, but after continuous declines, the short - term downside space may be limited, and there may be a short - term rebound [1][5] Iron Ore - **View**: Pig iron production has increased again. Environmental protection limits are less than expected, steel mills have finished restocking, and port inventories are accumulating. Overseas ore arrivals and shipments have both increased, with neutral fundamentals. The increasing likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September is bullish for commodity prices in the short term [1][7] - **Operation Suggestion**: Cautiously bullish [1][8] Coke - **View**: Coke spot has started the seventh round of price hikes but may face game - playing with steel mills later. Coke enterprises' profits have improved and turned positive. Supply - demand is relatively balanced, and production and inventory are stable. The "anti - involution" atmosphere has faded, but the Fujian coal mine accident brings safety inspection expectations, supporting coking coal and leading to a short - term rebound [1][11] - **Operation Suggestion**: Cautiously bullish [1][12] Coking Coal - **View**: Domestic coking coal production is flat month - on - month and lower than last year. Mongolian coal customs clearance has increased significantly recently. Mine inventories have stopped decreasing, and the transfer to downstream has slowed. Pig iron production is still high, and raw material demand is stable. The market sentiment has faded, and futures have a premium over warehouse receipt costs, with downward repair space in the medium term. However, it may rebound in the short term due to safety inspection expectations [1][15] - **Operation Suggestion**: Cautiously bullish [1][16] Ferromanganese - **View**: The fundamentals are becoming looser, but there is still short - term demand resilience under a new round of concentrated demand release. The total inventory in the statement continues to decline, but the absolute level is still high. The combined shipments of the three major countries of manganese ore this period are 104.5 tons, a significant increase from the previous period, mainly from South Africa and Australia. Arrivals decreased slightly month - on - month, and port inventory is 446.6 tons, basically the same as last week [1][19] - **Operation Suggestion**: Manganese ore prices have not significantly declined, and the cost side has some support. It may rebound in the short term affected by macro - sentiment, but the medium - term strategy of selling at high prices remains unchanged [1][20] Ferrosilicon - **View**: This week, production continued to increase while demand declined, and the fundamentals are becoming looser. Enterprise inventories continue to decline month - on - month but are still at a high absolute level, and the overall supply pressure remains [1][19] - **Operation Suggestion**: It is advisable to wait and see. The medium - term strategy of selling at high prices remains unchanged [1][20]
