Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View - Short - term iron ore inventory is not accumulating beyond the seasonal norm, the fundamentals have improved, the continuous price decline of coking coal supports the iron ore price, and combined with the marginal repair of macro - risk preference, the iron ore valuation is being repaired. Currently, there is not much contradiction between the iron ore valuation and fundamentals, and the price may fluctuate at a high level [2] 3. Summary by Related Contents 3.1 Price Forecast and Risk Management Strategy - **Price Forecast**: The price forecast range is 770 - 820, with the current at - the - money option IV at 16.74% and the historical volatility quantile at 11.3% [2] - **Risk Management Strategy** - **Inventory Management**: For those with spot inventory worried about future price drops, the strategies are to directly short iron ore futures to lock in profits (using I2601, short, 25%, entry range 820 - 830) and sell call options to collect premiums (using I2601 - C - 830, 30%, sell at high prices) [2] - **Procurement Management**: For those planning to purchase in the future and worried about price increases, the strategies are to directly go long on iron ore futures to lock in costs (using I2601, long, 30%, entry range 780 - 790) and sell out - of - the - money put options (using I2601 - P - 780, 40%, sell at high prices) [2] 3.2 Factors Affecting Prices - **Likely Positive Factors** - Low port inventory of deliverable mainstream medium - and high - grade powder ores supports near - month contracts and basis [3] - The significant price drop of coking coal, a major raw material, when steel mill profits are low, provides short - term support for iron ore prices [3] - Steel demand has improved and inventory has decreased [3] - The Fed's dovish stance has led to the resurgence of the December interest - rate cut expectation to over 80% [3] - **Likely Negative Factors** - During the domestic macro - vacuum period, high - frequency economic data is weak but not weak enough to force the introduction of economic stimulus policies [3] - Overall iron ore shipments are relatively high, and there is no shortage of overall spot (but there is a structural shortage) [3] 3.3 Price Data - **Futures Contract Closing Prices**: On November 28, 2025, the closing prices of the 01, 05, and 09 contracts were 799.5, 773, and 748 respectively, with daily changes of 0 and weekly changes of 14, 17, and 17.5 respectively [3] - **Basis**: The 01, 05, and 09 basis were - 0.5, 26, and 51 respectively on November 28, 2025, with daily changes of - 1.5, 1.5, and 1.5 respectively and weekly changes of - 4, - 13, and - 13 respectively [3] - **Spot Prices**: On November 28, 2025, the prices of Rizhao PB powder and Rizhao Carajás fines were 794 and 885 respectively, with daily changes of - 5 and - 5 respectively and weekly changes of 4 and 2 respectively [3] - **Platts Index**: On November 27, 2025, the Platts 58%, 62%, and 65% indexes were 95.4, 107.45, and 119.5 respectively, with daily changes of 0.2, 0.1, and 0.1 respectively and weekly changes of 2.1, 2.7, and 2.75 respectively [4] 3.4 Fundamental Data | Indicator | 2025 - 11 - 21 | Weekly Change | Monthly Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Daily average hot - metal output | 236.28 | - 0.6 | - 3.62 | | 45 - port desilting volume | 329.92 | 2.97 | 17.27 | | Apparent demand for five major steel products | 888 | - 6 | - 28 | | Global shipments | 3278.4 | - 238 | - 110 | | Australia - Brazil shipments | 2597.5 | - 236.1 | - 247 | | 45 - port arrivals | 2817.1 | 548.2 | 788 | | 45 - port inventory | 15054.65 | - 75.06 | 631.06 | | 247 steel - mill inventory | 9001.23 | - 74.78 | - 77.96 | | 247 steel - mill available days | 30.86 | - 0.16 | 0.23 | [12]

Group 1: Report Overview - Report title: Iron Ore Risk Management Report [1] - Report date: October 31, 2025 [1] Group 2: Price Forecast and Strategy - November price forecast for Iron Ore 12 contract: 770 - 826, with current ATM option IV at 18.85% and historical volatility percentile at 11.3% [2] - Inventory management strategy: For those with current inventory worried about price drops, recommend shorting iron ore futures (I2512) at 25% hedge ratio in the 820 - 830 range and selling call options (I2512 - C - 830) at 30% hedge ratio on rallies [2] - Procurement management strategy: For those planning future purchases worried about price hikes, recommend going long on iron ore futures (I2512) at 30% hedge ratio in the 780 - 790 range and selling out - of - the - money put options (I2511 - P - 780) at 40% hedge ratio on rallies [2] Group 3: Core View - The iron ore market faces a short - term situation of "exhausted macro - level positives and pressured fundamentals". Supply remains high, port inventories are accumulating, and demand is suppressed by shrinking steel mill profits and falling hot metal production. With coking coal's strength squeezing profits, the upside for iron ore prices is limited. Suggest looking for opportunities to short on rallies after valuation adjustments [3] Group 4: Factors Affecting Price Bullish factors - Although monthly hot metal production decreased, it still shows year - on - year growth and is at a seasonal high, providing some support for iron ore demand [4] - Steel mills have low profits but have not yet cut production [4] - Previous macro events (China - US summit, Fed rate cut) improved market sentiment [4] Bearish factors - Macro - level positives are exhausted, entering a macro vacuum period [4] - Iron ore shipments remain at a seasonal high, and port inventories are accumulating above the seasonal norm [4] - Hot - rolled coil inventories are continuously accumulating above the seasonal norm. Although production has marginally declined, it remains high, indicating weak overall demand [4] - Steel mill profits have dropped significantly, and the pressure for production cuts is building up [4] - The strength of coking coal is squeezing the space for iron ore [4] Group 5: Price Data Futures contract closing prices - On October 31, 2025, the 01 contract closed at 800 (down 2.5 from the previous day, up 29 from a week ago), the 05 contract at 776.5 (down 3, up 26), and the 09 contract at 755 (down 3.5, up 25) [4] Basis data - On October 31, 2025, the 01 basis was 2 (down 0.5, down 5 week - on - week), the 05 basis was 25.5 (unchanged, down 2), and the 09 basis was 47 (up 0.5, down 1) [4][5] Spot prices - On October 31, 2025, the price of Rizhao PB powder was 803 (down 2, up 25 week - on - week), Rizhao Carajás fines was 913 (down 7, up 12), and Rizhao Super Special was 708 (down 6, up 6) [5] Platts Index - On October 30, 2025, the Platts 58% index was 96.25 (down 0.55, up 1.9 week - on - week), the Platts 62% index was 107.7 (down 0.7, up 2.05), and the Platts 65% index was 121.2 (down 0.7, up 2.05) [6] Group 6: Fundamental Data - As of October 31, 2025, daily average hot metal production was 236.36 (down 3.54 week - on - week, down 5.45 month - on - month), 45 - port desilting volume was 320.16 (up 7.51, down 16.24), five major steel products' apparent demand was 916 (up 24, up 12), global shipments were 3388.4 (up 54.9, down 87), Australia - Brazil shipments were 2844.5 (up 104.5, up 77.5), 45 - port arrivals were 2029.1 (down 490.3, down 331.4), 45 - port inventories were 14542.48 (up 118.89, up 542.2), 247 steel mill inventories were 8849.86 (down 229.33, down 1186.93), and 247 steel mills' available days were 30.35 (down 0.28, down 3.24) [12]

Report Overview - Report Title: Iron Ore Risk Management Report - Report Date: October 13, 2025 Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Short - term market trends follow the macro situation. If Sino - US relations ease, the valuation will rise; if the negotiations fluctuate, the price will correct. The iron ore fundamentals are under marginal pressure, with neutral - to - high shipments, inventory accumulating above the seasonal level. Downstream hot metal production is supported, but steel demand is weak, inventory is piling up, and profits are declining. The price is expected to rise first and then fall, oscillating within a range [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Forecast - The price forecast range for the iron ore 11 - contract in October is 780 - 850, with the current at - the - money option IV at 19.69% and the historical volatility quantile at 11.3% [2]. Risk Management Strategies Inventory Management - For those with current iron ore inventory worried about future price drops (long risk exposure), strategies include directly short - selling iron ore futures (I2511) to lock in profits with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 840 - 850, and selling call options (I2511 - C - 850) to collect premiums with a 30% ratio by selling at high prices [2]. Procurement Management - For those planning to purchase iron ore in the future and worried about price increases (short risk exposure), strategies include directly going long on iron ore futures (I2511) to lock in costs with a 30% hedging ratio at an entry range of 780 - 790, and selling out - of - the - money put options (I2511 - P - 790). If the price falls below the strike price, hold long futures positions with a 40% ratio by selling at high prices [2]. Factors Affecting Prices Positive Factors - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp and is expected to cut twice more this year, leading to loose global financial conditions and an expected upward movement of the global manufacturing PMI. Hot metal production remains at a high level. There are short - term supply disruptions, and the "Trump TACO" factor [4]. Negative Factors - With high hot metal production, steel inventory remains high, putting pressure on the fundamentals. Although rebar production cuts have relieved inventory pressure, hot metal is being redirected to hot - rolled coil production, causing hot - rolled coil inventory to accumulate above the seasonal level. Iron ore shipments are increasing, with non - mainstream shipments at a seasonal high, and global iron ore shipments have turned from a cumulative year - on - year negative to positive. After pre - holiday steel mill restocking, port iron ore inventory has started to accumulate above the seasonal level. Macro - level positive factors have been fully priced in, and the anti - involution trend in the industrial sector has not continued [5]. Price Data Futures Closing Prices - On October 13, 2025, the closing prices of the 01, 05, and 09 contracts were 804.5, 781, and 759 respectively, with daily changes of 9.5, 6.5, and 6, and weekly changes of 14.5, 11.5, and 8.5 [5].

Report Overview - Report Title: Iron Ore Risk Management Report - Report Date: October 10, 2025 - Analyst: Zhou Fuhan (Investment Consulting License No. Z0020173) - Investment Advisory Business Qualification: CSRC License [2011] No. 1290 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Short - term iron ore fundamentals are under marginal pressure, with high shipments, inventory accumulating above the seasonal level. Although downstream hot metal production provides support, steel demand is weak, inventories are piling up, and profits are declining, leading to the accumulation of industrial chain contradictions. The price is expected to rise first and then fall, remaining in a range - bound oscillation. The short - term rhythm depends on whether macro expectations can support the upward valuation; otherwise, it's difficult for the price to have a trending upward movement [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Iron Ore Price Forecast and Strategy - **Price Forecast**: The price forecast range for the iron ore 11 - contract in October is 780 - 850, with the current at - the - money option IV at 19.14% and the historical volatility quantile at 11.3% [2]. - **Risk Management Strategies**: - **Inventory Management**: For those with current iron ore inventory worried about future price drops (long risk exposure), the strategies include directly short - selling iron ore futures (I2511) to lock in profits with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 840 - 850, and selling call options (I2511 - C - 850) to collect premiums with a 30% ratio by selling at high prices [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For those planning to purchase iron ore in the future and worried about price increases (short risk exposure), the strategies are directly going long on iron ore futures (I2511) to lock in costs with a 30% hedging ratio at an entry range of 780 - 790, and selling out - of - the - money put options (I2511 - P - 790). If the price falls below the strike price, hold long futures positions with a 40% ratio by selling at high prices [2]. 3.2 Factors Affecting Iron Ore Prices - **Likely Positive Factors**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp and is expected to cut twice more this year, leading to loose global financial conditions and an expected upward movement of the global manufacturing PMI. Hot metal production remains at a high level, and there are short - term supply disruptions [4]. - **Likely Negative Factors**: Despite high hot metal production, steel inventories are still high, putting pressure on the fundamentals. Although rebar production cuts have relieved inventory pressure, the transfer of hot metal to hot - rolled coil production has led to above - seasonal inventory accumulation of hot - rolled coils. Iron ore shipments have increased, with non - mainstream shipments at a seasonal high, and global iron ore shipments have turned from a cumulative year - on - year negative to positive. After pre - holiday steel mill restocking, port iron ore inventories have started to accumulate above the seasonal level. Macro - level positive news has been fully digested, and the anti - involution trend in the industrial sector has not continued. Steel mill profits continue to be under pressure [4][5]. 3.3 Iron Ore Price Data - **Futures Contract Closing Prices**: On October 10, 2025, the closing prices of the 01, 05, and 09 contracts were 795, 774.5, and 753 respectively, with daily changes of 4.5, 3.5, and 2.5, and weekly changes of - 10.5, - 11, and - 12 [4]. - **Basis**: The 01, 05, and 09 basis on October 10, 2025, were - 6, 14.5, and 36 respectively, with daily changes of 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5, and weekly changes of 4.5, - 1, and 1.5 [4][6]. - **Spot Prices**: On October 10, 2025, the prices of Rizhao PB powder, Rizhao Carajás fines, and Rizhao Super Special fines were 788, 923, and 715 respectively [6]. - **Platts Index**: On October 10, 2025, the Platts 58%, 62%, and 65% indexes were 95.85, 107.4, and 121.3 respectively, with daily changes of 1.3, 1.55, and 1.8, and weekly changes of 1.85, 3.3, and 3.55 [7]. 3.4 Iron Ore Fundamental Data - **Production and Consumption - related Data**: As of October 10, 2025, the daily average hot metal production was 241.54, with a weekly change of - 0.27 and a monthly change of 0.99.
