Report Information - Report Type: Steel Daily Review [1] - Date: September 3, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Metal Research Team [3] - Researchers: Zhai Hepan, Nie Jiayi, Feng Zeren [3] 1. Market Review and Future Outlook 1.1 Spot Market Dynamics and Technical Analysis - On September 2, some rebar and hot-rolled coil spot markets saw price drops. Rebar prices in Changsha dropped by 30 yuan/ton, and in other cities by 10 - 20 yuan/ton. Hot-rolled coil prices in some cities dropped by 10 - 20 yuan/ton, while in Shenyang, it rose by 10 yuan/ton [8]. - The daily KDJ indicators of rebar 2601 contract showed a split trend, with the J value rebounding, the K value nearly flat, and the D value continuing to decline. The daily KDJ indicators of hot-rolled coil 2601 contract continued to decline after a dead cross the previous day. The daily MACD green bars of both contracts have been expanding [8]. 1.2 Future Outlook - News: Recently, some northern steel mills started the first round of coke purchase price cuts, and iron ore spot prices also showed a weakening trend [9]. - Fundamentals: The production and demand of the five major steel products continued to rise slightly, while the steel mill inventory continued to decline slightly, but the social inventory reached a new high since early May. The blast furnace capacity utilization rate and daily hot metal output decreased slightly but remained at a high level. Since early August, steel mill profits have generally declined by 140 - 200 yuan/ton, which has a suppressing effect on raw material prices. Steel mill iron ore inventories have declined for two consecutive weeks, and the purchasing sentiment has turned flat. After the eighth round of coke spot price increase, there are rumors that Hebei steel mills plan to conduct the first round of coke price cuts on September 5. Mongolia will increase coal exports to China, causing coke and coking coal futures to turn weak again [10]. - Overall: Recently, the production restrictions in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shandong, and Henan were not as effective as previously shown in the market. Constrained by the under - expected demand in the steel spot market and the significant narrowing of steel mill profits, the steel market in the early part of September will face pressure from weak demand and the loss of cost support. However, this situation is unlikely to continue after mid - September. There is hope for a long - term slow - bull market in the steel market from mid - September to November, similar to the domestic stock index slow - bull trend from April to August [11]. 2.
