1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the reports. 2. Report Core Views Steel - Steel is in the off - season, with expectations of further demand decline. It maintains a pattern of cost drag and weak demand expectations. - Short - term, the marginal decline in coking coal supply drives price rebound. Macroscopically, the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation boosts metals, and hot - rolled coils and rebar may rebound, but there are still pressure levels at 3150 for hot - rolled coils and 3050 for rebar. Suggest rebound - shorting operations or selling out - of - the - money call options [1]. Iron Ore - Short - term, iron ore may run steadily and strongly, but the medium - to - long - term view for the 09 contract remains bearish. It is recommended to buy on dips in the range of 690 - 740 [4]. Coke and Coking Coal - For coke, the spot fundamentals are still relatively loose. It is recommended to hedge the 2509 contract on rebounds, and consider the strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke. - For coking coal, the spot fundamentals have improved.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the reports regarding industry investment ratings. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - The steel market is in the off - season with high production and potential inventory accumulation pressure. The upward elasticity of steel prices is limited, and the volatility has decreased. It is suggested to try short positions, focus on the support levels of 3000 yuan for hot - rolled coils and 2900 yuan for rebar, or sell out - of - the - money call options. The cost drags down the market, and the demand expectation is weak. Although the decline in off - season demand is better than expected, the terminal demand may weaken in the future [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The 09 contract of iron ore oscillated. The global iron ore shipments increased this week, and the arrival volume at ports continued to rise. The demand side may maintain a relatively high level of hot - metal production in the short term, but the terminal demand faces the risk of weakening in the off - season. The port inventory and steel mills' equity ore inventory have increased. In the short term, there is obvious resistance above the iron ore price, and the 09 contract should be considered bearish in the medium - to - long term. The price range may shift down to 670 - 720 yuan [4]. Coke Industry - The coke futures showed an oscillating upward trend, while the spot was weak. The fourth round of price cuts for coke was implemented on June 23, and there may be further cuts, but the phased bottom is gradually emerging. The supply is tightening marginally due to environmental protection and other factors, and the demand has rigid support with hot - metal production remaining above 240,000 tons per day. The inventory is at a medium level. It is recommended to hedge the 2509 contract on rallies for spot traders, stay on the sidelines for speculators, and consider the strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke [7]. Coking Coal Industry - The coking coal futures oscillated upward, and the spot was stable with a slight upward trend. The domestic coking coal showed signs of stabilization, and the supply decreased in some regions due to environmental protection and other factors. The import coal had different situations, with Mongolian coal prices rebounding slightly and seaborne coal imports having a profit inversion. The demand had some resilience with hot - metal production remaining above 240,000 tons per day in June, and the inventory was at a medium level. It is recommended to go long on the 2509 contract of coking coal on dips for short - term trading and consider the strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke [7]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings were provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel - Black metal prices have stabilized with a rising central level. Currently, hot-rolled coil production has rebounded, and apparent demand remains high with a small decline. However, both supply and demand of rebar are weak, and apparent demand has declined. Steel and billet exports remain high, digesting production. It is still the off - season for steel, and demand is difficult to improve marginally. Steel maintains a pattern of cost drag and weak demand expectations. In the short term, inventory remains low, and the pressure on steel mills to cut production is small. Iron element costs are supported, but carbon elements are still weak. Later, steel prices will follow the fluctuations of coking coal and coke. Operationally, consider short - selling on rebounds or selling out - of - the - money call options. Pay attention to the pressure levels of 3150 yuan for hot - rolled coil and 3050 yuan for rebar [1]. Iron Ore - In the short term, iron ore has obvious upside pressure due to the expected decline in molten iron, supply increase, and administrative reduction. However, the short - term decline in molten iron is limited. In the medium - to - long - term, a bearish view on the 09 contract remains unchanged. During the off - season when demand weakens, the iron ore price range may shift downward, with a reference range of 670 - 720 yuan. Although the terminal demand for finished products faces the risk of weakening in the off - season, it still has some short - term resilience. The average molten iron output in June is expected to remain above 2.4 million tons. Pay attention to the change in molten iron output in July [3]. Coke - The spot fundamentals of coke are still relatively loose. With the sharp rise in crude oil driving the expectation of an energy crisis and the news of production restrictions in the production areas, the coal - coke futures are at a premium to the spot, providing an opportunity for hedging short positions. Unilaterally, it is recommended to short the coke 2509 contract on short - term rebounds. For arbitrage, consider a strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke [6]. Coking Coal - The spot fundamentals of coking coal have improved. Affected by the risk of geopolitical conflicts and the sharp rise in crude oil, coking coal has followed the upward trend, and the basis has been repaired. Unilaterally, it is recommended to go long on the coking coal 2509 contract on short - term dips. For arbitrage, consider a strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke [6]. Ferrosilicon - The supply of ferrosilicon increased slightly last week, mainly in Ningxia and Shaanxi. Affected by the continuous weakening of demand, prices remained weak, and manufacturers' losses continued to intensify. Although manufacturers' inventories decreased, the absolute value was still high. In terms of demand, molten iron increased slightly, and steel mills' profitability remained stable. Steel billet exports remained strong, and short - term molten iron is expected to remain at a high level. However, terminal demand faces the risk of weakening in the off - season. The overall supply - demand situation has improved, but the improvement is insufficient. In the future, the supply - demand contradiction of ferrosilicon still needs to be resolved. In the short term, the stabilization of costs gives some room for price increases, but the sustainability is questionable. It is recommended to short on rebounds [7]. Ferromanganese - Ferromanganese continued its rebound trend last week. Although its absolute valuation is low, its supply is still relatively loose. Supply increased slightly, with restarts concentrated in Inner Mongolia and Yunnan. Under the off - season demand, supply pressure still exists. Manufacturers' inventories increased, and the number of warehouse receipts continued to decline. In terms of demand, molten iron increased slightly, and steel mills' profitability remained stable. Steel billet exports remained strong, and short - term molten iron is expected to remain at a high level. However, terminal demand faces the risk of weakening in the off - season. The overall supply - demand situation has improved, but the improvement is insufficient. It is recommended to short on rebounds [7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Steel - **Prices and Spreads**: Rebar and hot - rolled coil spot and futures prices showed different changes. Some regions' spot prices increased slightly, and futures prices also rose. For example, the rebar spot price in South China increased by 10 yuan/ton, and the 05 contract price increased by 8 yuan/ton [1]. - **Cost and Profit**: Steel billet prices increased by 10 yuan/ton, while some steelmaking costs decreased.

Coke - **Prices and Spreads**: Coke futures showed a volatile and slightly upward trend, while the spot market was weakly stable. The third - round spot price cut of coke was implemented on June 6, with a reduction of 70/75 yuan/ton, and the cumulative reduction was 120/135 yuan/ton. The mainstream steel mills proposed a fourth - round price cut on the 20th, which is expected to be implemented on the 23rd [6]. - **Supply**: Recently, environmental protection inspection teams have entered multiple northern provinces. Affected by environmental protection and other factors such as maintenance, the supply of coking in the northern region has tightened, and the operation rate of independent coking plants has declined [6]. - **Demand**: In June, molten iron production continued to remain above 2.4 million tons per day, but the blast furnace operation rate decreased slightly, and molten iron production continued the trend of peaking and falling [6]. - **Inventory**: Coking plant inventories decreased slightly, port inventories continued to decrease, and steel mill inventories also decreased. Downstream steel mills continued the rhythm of active de - stocking, and overall inventories were at a medium level [6]. Coking Coal - **Prices and Spreads**: Coking coal futures showed a volatile and slightly upward trend, and the spot market was weakly stable. The decline of domestic coking coal prices slowed down, and the prices of some coal mines rebounded slightly, but the overall market was still weak [6]. - **Supply**: In the Inner Mongolia region, many coal mines stopped production due to environmental protection and other factors. In the Shanxi region, supply decreased significantly due to accidents and other factors, and coal mines began to hold prices. Overall, the production of coal mines decreased slightly but remained at a relatively high level. For imported coal, the price of Mongolian coal rebounded slightly, and the port inventory pressure was still obvious. The import profit of seaborne coal continued to be inverted, and there was a recent price correction [6]. - **Demand**: The operation rate of coking plants began to decline, and the molten iron production of blast furnaces continued the trend of peaking and falling. Downstream users mainly replenished their inventories on - demand. Although the downstream demand still had some resilience, the overall demand was weakening [6]. - **Inventory**: Coal mine inventories continued to accumulate at a high level, and there was pressure to reduce prices for sales. Port inventories began to decline from a high level, and downstream users controlled their inventories. The overall inventory was at a medium level [6]. Ferrosilicon - **Prices and Spreads**: The closing price of the ferrosilicon main contract decreased, and the spot prices in some regions increased slightly. The cost of production in some regions decreased, and the production profit increased slightly [7]. - **Supply**: Ferrosilicon production increased slightly on a week - on - week basis, mainly concentrated in Ningxia and Shaanxi. The operation rate of production enterprises increased [7]. - **Demand**: Molten iron production increased slightly, and steel mills' profitability remained stable.
