Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating provided in the report Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The steel price of rebar 2605 will maintain a low - level oscillation in the short, medium, and intraday periods, with an intraday tendency of slightly weak oscillation, mainly due to the game between expectations and reality [1]. Group 3: Summary by Related Content Variety Viewpoint Reference - For rebar 2605, the short - term, medium - term, and intraday trends are all oscillatory, with the intraday being slightly weak, presenting a low - level oscillation state. The core logic is the game between expectations and reality, causing the steel price to continue oscillating [1]. Market Driving Logic - The supply and demand of rebar have stabilized. Rebar production has slightly increased but remains at an annual low, providing support for steel prices, though the sustainability needs to be monitored. Meanwhile, rebar demand is running steadily, with high - frequency demand indicators increasing but still at a low level in the same period in recent years, and the downstream industries have not improved. Demand will continue to decline seasonally, putting pressure on steel prices. Currently, the supply and demand of rebar are running steadily, the off - season fundamentals have not improved, and steel prices are still prone to pressure. The relatively positive factor is the policy expectation. Under the game between expectations and reality, rebar will continue to oscillate. Attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [2].

The core logic is the game between expectations and reality [1]. - The rebar market shows low supply, which supports the steel price, but demand is weak, and the fundamentals have no substantial improvement. In the off - season, the steel price is still prone to pressure. With relatively favorable factors such as low valuation and policy expectations, the steel price will continue to fluctuate and seek the bottom, and attention should be paid to the changes in steel mill production [2]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalog Variety Viewpoint Reference - The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views of rebar 2605 are "fluctuation", "fluctuation", and "weak fluctuation" respectively, with an overall view of "low - level fluctuation". The core logic is the game between expectations and reality [1]. Market Driving Logic - The expectation of anti - involution has fermented, the market sentiment has warmed up, driving the night - session steel futures price to stabilize. The spot price remained stable over the weekend. The supply of rebar has continued to shrink to a low level, supporting the steel price, but the sustainability of production cuts is questionable. The demand for rebar is weak, high - frequency indicators continue to run at a low level, and the downstream industries have not improved, which is expected to continue the seasonal weakening trend and drag down the steel price. The low - supply pattern supports the steel price, but the demand is also weak, and the fundamentals have no substantial improvement. In the off - season, the steel price is still prone to pressure. The relatively favorable factors are low valuation and policy expectations. The steel price will continue to fluctuate and seek the bottom under the game between expectations and reality, and attention should be paid to the changes in steel mill production [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The steel market is dominated by expectations, and steel prices have stabilized during the off - season. For the rebar 2510, in the short - term, it is expected to be oscillating with a slight upward trend; in the medium - term, it will oscillate; and intraday, it will be oscillating with a slight downward trend. Attention should be paid to the support at the MA5 line [2]. - The rebar fundamentals continue the seasonal weakness. Although production has declined and demand is weak, the low inventory situation limits industrial contradictions, the strong raw materials provide cost support, and the policy利好 expectations are fermenting. Under the game between expectations and reality, steel prices will continue the oscillating and stabilizing trend, and the implementation of policies should be closely monitored [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Variety Viewpoint Reference - For the rebar 2510, the short - term trend is oscillating with a slight upward trend, the medium - term is oscillating, and the intraday trend is oscillating with a slight downward trend. The reference view is to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line, and the core logic is that expectations dominate the steel market and steel prices stabilize during the off - season [2]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - The rebar fundamentals continue the seasonal weakness. The production of construction steel mills is weakening, and rebar production has declined again, but the decline is limited and the profit per ton of the variety is good, so the supply pressure relief is limited. The rebar demand is seasonally weakening, with weekly performance decreasing month - on - month and high - frequency transactions also shrinking, remaining at a low level in recent years. The downstream industries have not improved, and the weak demand pattern remains unchanged, still putting pressure on steel prices [3]. - Currently, although the rebar fundamentals are seasonally weak and steel prices are still prone to pressure during the off - season, the low inventory situation limits industrial contradictions. The strong raw materials provide cost support, and the policy利好 expectations are fermenting. Under the game between expectations and reality, steel prices will continue the oscillating and stabilizing trend, and attention should be paid to the implementation of policies [3].

Core View of the Report - The steel price of rebar 2510 is expected to continue the trend of oscillating to find the bottom due to the game between expectations and reality. In the short - term (within one week), it is expected to oscillate; in the medium - term (two weeks to one month), it is expected to decline; and on the day, it is expected to oscillate weakly. Attention should be paid to the pressure at the MA5 line [2][3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Variety View Reference - For rebar 2510, the short - term view is oscillation, the medium - term view is decline, and the intraday view is weak oscillation. The reference view is to pay attention to the pressure at the MA5 line, with the core logic of the game between expectations and reality and the steel price oscillating to find the bottom [2]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - The fundamentals of rebar are stable. The weekly output has decreased but remains at a relatively high level this year, with little change on the supply side. The weekly apparent demand has slightly rebounded, while high - frequency transactions remain at a low level. The demand side continues to operate stably but is still at a low level in the same period in recent years, and the expectation of seasonal weakening is likely to ferment, continuing to drag down the rebar fundamentals. The relatively positive factor is the low inventory, and the real - world situation is acceptable. Under the game between expectations and reality, the steel price is expected to continue the trend of oscillating to find the bottom, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [3].
