Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - For iron ore, the iron - water production is fluctuating at a high level. Although the steel mill's sinter powder inventory is low, the raw material side is expected to have limited room for continuous recovery due to the expected weakening of rigid demand [2]. - For coking coal and coke, the supply of coking coal is in obvious excess, and there is no continuous rebound momentum for both spot and futures prices. Attention should be paid to the possibility of supply - side reduction [40]. - In the third quarter, it is difficult for the black commodities to have a continuous upward performance [29]. 3.
