Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - Short - term supply positive expectations lead to a rebound in futures prices, but it still has to face the reality of high production and difficult - to - improve demand, with no signs of a substantial reversal in the supply - demand pattern. The supply - demand structure of steel may continue to weaken this week, and there is a risk of a correction in the black industry after the anti - involution hype ends [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Market Overview - Today, black commodity futures are generally weak. The rebar closed at 3063 yuan/ton, down 0.13%; the hot - rolled coil main contract closed at 3191 yuan/ton, down 0.06%; the iron ore main contract closed at 733 yuan/ton; the coking coal and coke rose slightly [1] Market Analysis - Last week, the steel futures market broke through the narrow - range oscillation, with the price center rising nearly 100 points, mainly due to the increasing positive sentiment on the supply side. Firstly, the 6th meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission emphasized the governance of low - price and disorderly competition, which improved the sentiment of commodities with large previous declines and strong supply pressure. Secondly, about the rumor of "Tangshan's sintering machine production limit of 30% from July 4 - 15", about half of the steel mills received the notice, and most of the remaining ones said it was likely to happen. If the policy is implemented, the capacity utilization rate may drop to 70%, and the daily output of sinter may decrease by 30,000 tons. The terminal demand shows the characteristic of "off - season not off - season" in the short term, with the inventory of five major steel products decreasing slightly by 1,000 tons to 1.33993 million tons last week. However, affected by the high - temperature and rainy weather in July and August, it is the traditional off - season for steel demand. The social inventory of five major steel products increased by 1.06% month - on - month, but the steel mill inventory decreased by 2.24%. The steel mills are mainly focused on active sales, while the terminal consumption is not satisfactory [1] Investment Advice - Iron ore: Pay attention to supply - demand changes and inventory, and avoid chasing high prices [1] - Hot - rolled coil: Investors are advised to take a high - level consolidation approach in the short term and pay attention to supply - demand changes [1] - Coking coal and coke: Pay attention to the oscillating market after the decline stabilizes or the strength - weakness relationship between coking coal and coke [1] Summary - The short - term supply positive expectations bring a rebound in futures prices, but it still has to face the reality of high production and difficult - to - improve demand, with no signs of a substantial reversal in the supply - demand pattern. The steel supply - demand structure may continue to weaken this week, and there is a risk of a correction in the black industry after the anti - involution hype ends [1] Brief Evaluation - Rebar: Investors are advised to take an oscillating approach in the short term and pay attention to the spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Report Core Views Coke - Coke's third round of price cuts has been implemented, with another round expected. Due to profit decline and environmental inspections, coke production has decreased. With the off - season of steel demand, iron - water production will continue to decline, weakening coke demand. All inventory levels of coke decreased last week. Considering cost factors, a bullish view on pullbacks is recommended, with the coke index expected to range between 1300 - 1410 [2]. Coking Coal - Environmental inspections in the "Sanxi" region have led to a five - week decline in coal mine production and a significant drop in coal washery output, providing some support to the market. In the long - term, coking coal demand is under pressure as iron - water production declines. Upstream inventory is high, and downstream procurement is cautious. A bullish view on pullbacks is recommended, with the coking coal index expected to range between 740 - 840 [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Coke Supply - Coke's third - round price cut has been implemented, and another cut is expected. Due to profit decline and environmental inspections in some areas, coke production has decreased.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The steel industry is entering a period of weak supply and demand, with weak price drivers. It is necessary to maintain the idea of rolling sell - hedging or spot pre - sale to realize production profits [5]. - For coking coal and coke, the near - month non - main contracts have rebounded, and there are safety inspection voices in the main production areas. The short - term may see a rebound, while the medium - term strategy is still high - selling [6]. - Silicon iron and manganese silicon are under pressure due to macro - level negatives. Their prices are expected to be mainly under pressure [7]. - For iron ore, the off - season effect is gradually being realized, and there is still room for the price to fall [8]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Futures Market - **Prices and Changes**: On June 3rd, for far - month contracts, RB2601 closed at 2905 yuan/ton, down 63 yuan (-2.12%); HC2601 at 3045 yuan/ton, down 44 yuan (-1.42%); J2601 at 658.5 yuan/ton, down 9.5 yuan (-1.42%); JM2601 at 735.5 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan (-3.29%).

Short - term rebound may occur, and medium - term high - selling opportunities can be focused on [6]. - **Silicon Iron and Manganese Silicon**: Silicon iron has reduced supply, weakened direct and terminal demand, and weakened cost support. Manganese silicon has a relatively balanced supply - demand situation, but supply may increase marginally, and costs are also moving down. Both are under price pressure [7]. - **Iron Ore**: Ore shipments are gradually recovering, and port inventories may shift from de - stocking to stocking. Steel demand is weakening seasonally, and iron water production is declining. Attention should be paid to the impact of profit on iron water production and the stability of steel exports [8]. 3.4 Investment Strategies - **Steel**: Take a wait - and - see approach for single - side trading. For futures - spot trading, choose hot - rolled coils with better liquidity, do well in hedging and open - position management, and conduct appropriate inventory rotation. For arbitrage positions, the coil - to - rebar spread has temporarily stopped losing [9]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The short - term may see a rebound, and the medium - term strategy is high - selling [9]. - **Silicon Iron and Manganese Silicon**: Short - sell on rallies due to the repeated Sino - US trade negotiations, and pay attention to futures - spot positive arbitrage [9].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core View of the Report The market supply - demand relationship has not changed significantly, the market is in a clear downward trend, and the trading of coking coal and coke is further under pressure. A bearish view is taken on coking coal and coke, and there is no clear reversal driver [1]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalog Market Overview - On May 29, in the black - series commodity futures market, coking coal and coke continued to decline. The rebar closed at 2,978 yuan/ton, up 0.47%; the hot - rolled coil main contract closed at 3,110 yuan/ton, up 0.32%; the iron ore main contract closed at 707 yuan/ton [1]. Market Analysis - Currently in the off - season of steel demand, infrastructure steel demand has limited incremental effect, and construction in some cities is affected during the mid - and high - school entrance exams. The overall steel demand is difficult to improve significantly. Last week, the daily average hot metal output of 247 long - process steel mills decreased by 1.17 tons to 243.6 tons. Some steel mills controlled the arrival rhythm, reducing the raw material procurement demand, and the second - round price cut of coke in the production area has been fully implemented. There is an expectation of a third - round price cut [1]. - Last week, the profits of coking enterprises tightened, and some areas turned to losses. Coking enterprises mainly focused on active sales, but due to the obvious downward market trend, strong supply and weak demand, most coking enterprises had difficulties in sales, with inventories at medium - to - high levels, making it difficult to support prices [1]. - Due to the tightened profits of coking enterprises and the decline in steel prices, the procurement demand of coking and steel enterprises for raw coal is further under pressure. The continuous high production and supply of coking coal have led to inventory backlogs at mines. This week, the utilization rate of the approved production capacity of 523 coking coal mine samples reached a two - month low, but the raw coal inventory increased by 16.3 tons to 641.1 tons, and the clean coal inventory increased by 25.5 tons to 473 tons, both hitting new highs. The online auction of coking coal had poor results, most coal mines lowered the starting prices, and the phenomenon of auction failures did not improve, and the price decline of raw coal was hard to stop [1]. Investment Advice - Iron ore: Pay attention to supply - demand changes and inventory conditions, and avoid chasing high prices [1]. - Rebar: Investors are advised to take a volatile view in the short term and pay attention to the spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar [1]. - Hot - rolled coil: Investors are advised to take a high - level consolidation view in the short term and pay attention to supply - demand changes [1]. - Coking coal and coke: Pay attention to the oscillating market after the decline stabilizes or the strength - weakness relationship between coking coal and coke [1].
