In the medium to long - term, the supply is in a loose pattern, and attention should be paid to non - power coal consumption and inventory replenishment [7] - **Strategy**: No strategy provided [8]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Steel exports are expected to remain high due to low valuations and some export - grabbing factors. Before the Spring Festival, the domestic market is weak, and prices have fully priced in weak demand. The overall steel market is expected to fluctuate within a range in January. The reference range for the May contract of rebar is 3050 - 3250 yuan; for hot - rolled coils, it is 3200 - 3350 yuan [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The iron ore market will gradually transition to a situation of weak supply and demand. Prices are expected to remain high and volatile, with high inventory suppressing the upside and steel mill restocking expectations and molten iron production recovery providing support. Short - term prices are expected to fluctuate widely, and the trading strategy is range - bound operation, with a reference range of 770 - 830 [4]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry - For coke, the futures market has fallen in advance, and the spot price decline depends on the coking coal price drop. After the fourth round of spot price cuts, some coke enterprises resist price cuts and limit production to protect prices. The recommended strategy is to go long on the dips and consider the arbitrage of long coking coal and short coke. For coking coal, the pre - Spring Festival restocking demand drives the market. The strategy is also to go long on the dips and consider the same arbitrage [6]. Ferrosilicon and Ferromanganese Industry - For ferrosilicon, supply is stable, and production has reached a historically low level. Demand has some support, and costs also provide support. It is recommended to go long on the dips, with a reference support level of around 5500. For ferromanganese, the supply is at a historically neutral - low level, and demand has support. Manganese ore prices support the ferromanganese price. It is recommended to go long on the dips, with a reference support level of around 5800 [7]. 3.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core View of the Report The iron ore market is expected to maintain high - level fluctuations. The market is in a game between expectations and reality, and there is no significant improvement in the fundamentals of the iron ore market. Attention should be paid to the support of MA10 and the steel mill restocking situation [2][3]. 3) Summary by Related Contents Variety View Reference - For the iron ore 2605 contract, the short - term and medium - term trends are expected to be volatile, and the intraday trend is expected to be slightly stronger. It is recommended to pay attention to the support of MA10. The core logic is the game between expectations and reality, leading to high - level fluctuations in ore prices [2]. Market Driving Logic - The supply - demand pattern of iron ore has not changed significantly. After the Spring Festival, steel mills have resumed production as scheduled, and the terminal consumption of ore has rebounded from a low level. However, the steel market in the off - season can't bear a large - scale increase in production, so the incremental space for ore demand is limited. The positive factor is the pre - holiday restocking by steel mills. - Domestic port arrivals have continued to rise, and miners' shipments are weakly stable, both at relatively high levels. Overseas ore supply is relatively active, and domestic ore supply is also increasing. Ore supply remains at a high level. - In general, with high - level supply and limited improvement in demand, the fundamentals of the iron ore market have not improved, inventory is rising at a high level, and the upward driving force is not strong. The pre - holiday restocking is a positive factor. Under the game of long and short factors, ore prices are expected to maintain high - level fluctuations, and attention should be paid to the restocking situation of steel mills [3].
