1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "Oscillation" [6] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical conflicts cause repeated disturbances. Coal and coke prices fluctuate sharply following crude oil prices. The ongoing US - Iran conflict and tight liquidity of some spot varieties make iron ore futures and spot prices strong. Affected by the expected energy - saving and emission - reduction production cuts in the industry, the manganese - silicon futures rose strongly but then fell back from the high level. Currently, steel inventories are at a high level, the peak - season expectations are still cautious, there is still expected pressure on coking coal warehouse receipts, and the supply - demand surplus pattern of glass and soda ash remains unchanged. After the sector prices rise, there is still a risk of decline. Attention should be paid to the disturbances from the geopolitical end and the iron ore supply end [1]. - Overall, the peak - season expectations are cautious, and the upward drive from the real - world end remains to be verified. There are still uncertainties in domestic and foreign macro - expectations and geopolitical disturbances. If the geopolitical conflicts continue, the price support will be strong; if the conflicts ease, the prices may face a correction [6]. 3. Summaries by Related Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - The ongoing US - Iran conflict and tight liquidity of some spot varieties support iron ore futures and spot prices. The supply - demand remains loose, and it is difficult to see overall inventory reduction, which suppresses the upper - limit valuation of prices. Iron ore is expected to show an oscillatory performance. In the short term, scrap steel arrivals remain stable overall, but the recovery of long - process demand is slow, and the fundamentals continue in a weak balance, with short - term oscillation expected [2]. 3.2 Carbon Element - In the short term, the supply and demand of coke both increase, and the resumption speed of hot metal production may be faster. The price of the spot cost end continues to rise, and the expectation of a successful spot price increase for coke is strong. The futures are expected to follow the coking coal at the cost end. Under continuous geopolitical disturbances, the energy substitution logic will still be the focus of coking coal futures trading. In the short term, coking coal and coke are prone to rise and difficult to fall. However, if the geopolitical conflicts ease and trading returns to the fundamentals, there will still be correction pressure on the coking coal and coke futures [2]. 3.3 Alloys - Under the current geopolitical environment, the logic of rising manganese ore import costs and the expectation of rising electricity costs for high - energy - consuming varieties are difficult to disprove. However, based on the fundamentals of loose supply - demand, high inventories, and difficult cost transmission for manganese - silicon, in the medium - to - long term, there is still a risk of correction for the valuation level of the futures higher than the cost. For ferrosilicon, the problem of over - capacity is still relatively serious. The continuous repair of industry profits may accelerate the resumption of production by manufacturers, making the supply - demand relationship gradually turn loose. In the medium - to - long term, there is still a risk of correction when the futures valuation is significantly higher than the cost [2]. 3.4 Glass and Soda Ash - There are still expected disturbances in glass supply, but the inventories of middle - and downstream are moderately high. From a fundamental perspective, the current supply - demand is still in surplus. If production and sales cannot continue to improve, high inventories will always suppress prices. The short - term supply of soda ash is stable at a high level, and the overall supply - demand is still in surplus. It is expected to oscillate in the short term. In the long run, the supply - surplus pattern will further intensify, the price center will continue to decline, and capacity reduction will be promoted [3][6]. 3.5 Individual Product Analysis - **Steel**: Cost support is strong. Pay attention to peak - season demand. Spot trading is average. After the weakening of environmental protection restrictions, iron - water production has rebounded rapidly, and electric - furnace production has gradually recovered to the pre - holiday level. The overall supply of the five major steel products has rebounded from a low level, mainly in the building materials category. Demand shows resilience, and steel has started to reduce inventories, but the overall inventory level is still moderately high. Geopolitical risks increase energy valuation, and the cost end has strong support, but the high inventory and cautious peak - season expectations limit the upward drive of prices [8]. - **Iron Ore**: The futures are oscillating at a high level, with repeated geopolitical disturbances. Overseas mine shipments have increased month - on - month, and arrivals have recovered. The US - Iran conflict affects the shipment and arrival rhythm, and high crude - oil prices increase shipping costs. The overall supply - demand is loose, but the pressure is difficult to be reflected in trading. It is expected to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the new CEO of BHP, the US - Iran conflict, and the sensitivity of iron - ore prices [8][9]. - **Scrap Steel**: The fundamentals continue in a weak balance, and the spot price has a narrow - range correction. Scrap - steel arrivals are stable overall, but the recovery of long - process demand is slow. It is expected to oscillate in the short term, and attention should be paid to the actual recovery progress of terminal demand [10]. - **Coke**: Cost support is strong, and the bullish sentiment is strong. The futures follow coking coal and oscillate at a high level. After the lifting of restrictions, both supply and demand have recovered. The cost has been rising, and the expectation of a successful spot price increase is strong. The futures are expected to follow coking coal [11]. - **Coking Coal**: The auction prices continue to rise, and the futures are oscillating at a high level. The energy substitution logic is the focus of trading. Domestic supply has room for a small increase, and imports remain high. After the lifting of restrictions, coke production has increased, and upstream coal - mine inventories have decreased. In the short term, coking coal and coke are prone to rise and difficult to fall, but there is correction pressure if geopolitical conflicts ease [12]. - **Glass**: Real - world demand is weak, and production and sales have weakened month - on - month. Supply may be disturbed, and middle - and downstream inventories are moderately high. The supply - demand is in surplus, and high inventories suppress prices. It is expected to oscillate in the short term [13]. - **Soda Ash**: Supply - demand is still in surplus, and macro factors dominate fluctuations. Supply is stable at a high level in the short term, and the overall supply - demand is in surplus. It is expected to oscillate in the short term, and the supply - surplus pattern will intensify in the long run, with the price center declining [15]. - **Manganese - Silicon**: Affected by the expected production cuts, the futures rose and then fell. The actual production - control intensity remains to be seen. The cost is expected to rise, and demand may improve, but the supply - demand surplus pattern is difficult to reverse, and there is a risk of correction in the medium - to - long term [16]. - **Ferrosilicon**: The cost expectation is strong, but the valuation support is insufficient. The electricity - cost increase expectation is strong, and demand may improve. However, over - capacity is serious, and the supply - demand may turn loose. There is a risk of correction in the medium - to - long term [18].
