1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The central bank has launched a "combination punch" to support high - quality economic development. This includes measures such as lowering the rediscount and relending rates by 0.25 percentage points, increasing the relending quota for agriculture and small businesses by 50 billion yuan, setting up a 1 - trillion - yuan relending quota for private enterprises, expanding the support scope of carbon emission reduction tools, and reducing the minimum down - payment ratio for commercial housing loans to 30%. The central bank also indicates that there is still room for reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts this year [1][4][10]. - Last week's industrial data was average. Due to the restoration of steel mill profits, the output of the five major steel products increased slightly month - on - month, and the apparent demand rebounded. However, due to the off - season suppression, the weak pattern before the Spring Festival remains unchanged. Attention should be paid to the inventory accumulation rhythm of steel products. With the recent national cooling, demand has further declined, and steel prices are expected to fluctuate weakly [1][5]. 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Today, the steel futures market showed a slight decline, and steel procurement was weak. This week, the output of the five major steel products continued to increase, and the molten iron output rose due to the recovery of profit levels. The total steel inventory started to accumulate, but hot-rolled coils were still being destocked, with inventory shifting from factory warehouses to social warehouses, and the overall rebar inventory accumulating. Seasonal factors led to a further weakening of the apparent demand for construction steel, and the funds available to downstream construction sites declined. The demand for hot-rolled coils was slightly digested, but steel exports declined in January due to export license issues. On the raw material side, coal mine inventories decreased, and prices soared recently due to market news, driving up steel prices. The structural shortage of PB fines has not been resolved, and the first quarter is also the traditional off-season for iron ore shipments. Steel mills have a rigid demand for restocking, providing cost support. The continuous resumption of molten iron production also limited the further rise of steel prices. Therefore, steel prices remained volatile. Continued attention should be paid to the impact of macro news on the futures market, as well as coal mine safety inspections, overseas tariffs, and domestic macro and industrial policies [5] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Information - Spot prices: Shanghai Zhongtian rebar was priced at 3,290 yuan (unchanged), Beijing Jingye rebar at 3,180 yuan (+20 yuan), Shanghai Angang hot-rolled coils at 3,320 yuan (+20 yuan), and Tianjin Hegang hot-rolled coils at 3,220 yuan (+10 yuan) [4] Market Judgments Trading Strategies - Unilateral trading: As the futures market corrected, long positions could take profits [6] - Arbitrage: It was recommended to short the hot-rolled coil to coking coal ratio at high prices and continue to hold short positions on the hot-rolled coil to rebar spread [7] - Options: It was recommended to wait and see [8] Important Information - As of January 6, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.53%, a week-on-week decrease of 0.37 percentage points. The capital availability rate of non-housing construction projects was 60.59%, a week-on-week decrease of 0.41 percentage points, and that of housing construction projects was 54.41%, a week-on-week decrease of 0.21 percentage points. The capital availability rate ended a two-week increase and started to decline, mainly due to new projects occupying some funds and the decline in payment collection for existing projects [9] - In December 2025, the average monthly working hours of major construction machinery products in China were 76.5 hours, a year-on-year decrease of 18.6% and a month-on-month decrease of 9.19%. The monthly startup rate was 51.8%, a year-on-year decrease of 12.5 percentage points and a month-on-month decrease of 4.72 percentage points. For excavators, the average monthly working hours were 69.3 hours, and the monthly startup rate was 52.6% [10] Related Attachments - The report includes various charts showing the price trends, basis, spreads, and profit margins of rebar and hot-rolled coils, such as the summary prices of rebar and hot-rolled coils in Shanghai, the basis of different contracts in Shanghai, the spreads between different contracts, and the profit margins of different contracts and production processes [15][17][19]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a short - sell rating for coking coal and coke in the black sector [1] 2. Core View - The report analyzes the coking coal and coke market, stating that the steel market is experiencing inventory accumulation, the second - round price increase of coke is expected to be postponed, and the US tariff increase remarks may have a negative impact on the raw material end. It is predicted that the double - coking futures market will be stable with a downward trend, and the market may open bearishly [1] 3. Summary by Related Contents Market Review - Last week, the main coking coal contract Jm2601 closed at 1,161.0 yuan/ton, up 3.13% from the week's opening; the main coke contract J2601 closed at 1,666.5 yuan/ton, up 2.49% from the week's opening [1] Important Information - China's export controls are not a ban on exports, and the impact on the supply chain is limited. If the US acts willfully, China will take corresponding measures [1] - The approved loan amount for the national white - list real estate projects has exceeded 7 trillion yuan, and the second - hand housing trading volume in 15 provincial - level regions has exceeded that of new houses [1] - Guo Bin was appointed as the director, general manager, and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Ansteel Group Co., Ltd. [1] Market Logic - The mainstream coking enterprises believe that the steel market is accumulating inventory, and the coke market is not ready for a price increase. The second - round price increase of coke is expected to be postponed, and the US tariff increase remarks may negatively affect the raw material end, causing the double - coking futures market to be stable with a downward trend [1] Trading Strategy - The market may open bearishly. It is recommended to control the position of last week's long positions and pay attention to market sentiment changes [1]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The steel fundamentals are peaking, with seasonal demand decline and supply - demand pressure. However, high iron - water production and export demand, along with previous policies, have driven the market up. The price center of the steel market is expected to shift from policy to fundamentals, and steel prices may show a short - term weakening trend [4][5]. - For coking coal and coke, although the market sentiment has cooled recently, the supply will be affected by policies in the medium term, and the price center of coking coal will gradually rise [10]. - Iron ore prices are expected to fluctuate in the short term as the factors driving price increases weaken and the terminal steel demand is under pressure [15]. - For ferroalloys, both silicon - iron and manganese - silicon need to be wary of the adjustment risks caused by the rapid increase in supply [20]. 3. Summary by Category Steel - **Related Information**: Some steel mills in Tangshan received oral notices of environmental protection production restrictions. From August 25 - September 3, sintering machines will be restricted by 30%, and from August 31 - September 3, blast furnaces may be restricted by 40%. The spot prices of steel in Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin have declined. The State Council emphasized boosting investment and stabilizing the real estate market [2][3]. - **Logic Analysis**: The black - metal sector oscillated last Friday night. Steel production resumed overall last week, with a slight reduction in rebar production and an increase in hot - rolled coil production. The overall inventory of the five major steel products increased, and the demand for building materials declined. The fundamentals of steel are peaking, but high iron - water production and export demand, along with previous policies, have driven the market up. The price center is expected to shift to fundamentals, and steel prices may weaken [4][5]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral trading suggests a weakening trend; for arbitrage, it is recommended to enter positive spreads at low basis levels and hold; for options, it is recommended to wait and see [6][7][8]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Related Information**: The coke price in Xingtai is planned to increase, with a 50 - yuan/ton increase for tamping wet - quenched coke and a 55 - yuan/ton increase for tamping dry - quenched coke [9]. - **Logic Analysis**: Recently, the prices of some coal mines have corrected, and the downstream purchasing enthusiasm has weakened. In the medium term, coal supply will be affected by policies, and the price center of coking coal will gradually rise. The impact of over - production inspections on coal mine production is emerging [10]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral trading suggests waiting for a correction and then going long on far - month contracts [11]. Iron Ore - **Related Information**: The State Council emphasized boosting investment and stabilizing the real estate market. The A - share market value exceeded 100 trillion yuan on August 18.

The demand for terminal steel is under pressure, and the factors driving price increases have weakened. The short - term ore price will fluctuate [15]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral, arbitrage, option, and spot - futures trading all suggest waiting and seeing [13]. Ferroalloys - **Related Information**: The manganese - ore inventory in Tianjin Port increased, while that in Qinzhou Port decreased. The coke price in Xingtai is planned to increase [18]. - **Logic Analysis**: For silicon - iron, the supply is increasing rapidly, and the demand is at a high level but the rebar apparent demand is declining. For manganese - silicon, the supply is also increasing, the demand is high in the short term, and the cost is supported. Both need to be wary of supply - related adjustment risks [20]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral trading suggests using it as a short - position variety in the industrial chain; for arbitrage, it is recommended to conduct positive spreads when the basis is low; for options, it is recommended to sell straddle option combinations at high prices [21].
