1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Although there is an oversupply of steel and an accumulation of plate stocks, there are no signs of a collapse in demand. The inventory pressure can be relieved by compressing profits and reducing production. However, attention should be paid to the impact of new iron ore production capacity on steel. It is recommended to wait and see for single - sided trading and focus on the recovery of apparent demand in the weekly data of Steel Union today [1]. Iron Ore Industry - Due to the weak steel prices and declining profitability of steel mills, the weak demand will force the iron ore market to operate weakly. The overall commissioning progress of the Simandou project is faster than expected. The iron ore market is shifting from a state of tight balance to one of relative abundance. It is recommended to wait and see for single - sided trading, with a reference range of 750 - 800, and the arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal and short on iron ore is recommended [3]. Coke Industry - The coke futures showed a volatile and weak trend. The cost is expected to increase due to concerns about coking coal supply caused by mining accidents. It is recommended to go long on coke 2601 at low prices, with a reference range of 1550 - 1700, and the arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke is recommended [5]. Coking Coal Industry - The coking coal futures showed a volatile trend. The spot price is expected to enter a rebound trend. It is recommended to go long on coking coal 2601 at low prices, with a reference range of 1080 - 1200, and the arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal and short on coke is recommended [5]. 3.
