1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Yesterday, steel prices were still weak with significant declines. The rebar price fell below the valley - electricity cost, but blast - furnace profits remained positive. Terminal orders decreased, affecting cold - rolled steel inventories. After the tariff reduction in May, demand recovered, and the April rush for re - export trade also supported demand. Short - term steel inventory pressure is expected to be low, supporting high production levels. However, steel prices are affected by the decline of carbon elements and the seasonal decline of hot - metal production. Negative - feedback trading may be volatile, and it is recommended to wait and see [1]. Iron Ore Industry - Yesterday, the iron ore 09 contract fell weakly. This week, global iron ore shipments decreased slightly, and arrivals were at a relatively low level. On the demand side, hot - metal production declined from its peak, and direct and indirect export orders for finished products were below expectations. The market is trading the negative - feedback expectation in advance. Although the terminal demand for finished products may weaken in the off - season, it still has some resilience. The decline of hot - metal production is limited. Overseas mines are starting to boost shipments, and the supply pressure will increase. Short - term iron ore prices are under pressure, and attention should be paid to the support around 670 - 680 [4]. Coke Industry - Yesterday, coke futures continued to fluctuate and adjust. The spot price of coke has been lowered twice, and there are still 1 - 2 rounds of expected price cuts. On the supply side, due to the decline of downstream hot - metal production, coke enterprises' shipments slowed down, but production increased slightly, and coking profits improved. On the demand side, hot - metal production remained above 240,000 tons per day in May but declined slightly last week, and blast - furnace开工率 has shown signs of peaking. In terms of inventory, coking plants' inventories are accumulating, port inventories are slightly decreasing, and steel mills' inventories are decreasing. It is recommended to short the coke 2509 contract after a rebound and stop the profit of the strategy of going long on hot - rolled coils and short on coke [6]. Coking Coal Industry - Yesterday, coking coal futures continued to fluctuate and adjust. The spot price of coking coal has been falling, and the futures market has a deep - discount structure with high hedging pressure. The supply is abundant, with high domestic coal production and weak imported coal prices. The demand side shows that coking production is increasing slightly, but downstream hot - metal production may have peaked. Coal mines' inventories are accumulating, and downstream inventories are at a low level. It is recommended to short the coking coal 2509 contract after a rebound and stop the profit of the strategy of going long on hot - rolled coils and short on coking coal [6]. Ferrosilicon Industry - Yesterday, the ferrosilicon futures main contract fell. An Inner Mongolia large - scale factory partially shut down furnaces, reducing daily production. Supply pressure has been relieved after previous production cuts, but inventories are still at a medium - high level. Some producers are suffering losses and reducing production. On the demand side, hot - metal production declined this week, and the demand for ferrosilicon is limited. The cost of semi - coke is weakly stable. In the future, the supply - demand contradiction of ferrosilicon has been alleviated, but short - term demand lacks support, and costs may decline, so the price is expected to fluctuate weakly [7]. Ferromanganese Industry - Yesterday, the ferromanganese futures main contract fluctuated weakly. In Inner Mongolia, some factories are resuming production, and the supply pressure is concentrated in the northern region. On the demand side, hot - metal production is declining, and the market is trading the negative - feedback expectation. The overall finished products are in the process of de - stocking, but the cold - rolled pressure is still large. Manganese ore prices are under pressure due to high future arrivals. In the future, the short - term supply pressure of ferromanganese is increasing, and the price is expected to be weak [7]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - Overseas, the EU plans to accelerate tariff negotiations with the US after the US threatens to impose tariffs on the EU, reducing global risk aversion. The US dollar index rebounds in the short - term, and global risk appetite rises. Domestically, although domestic demand in April slowed down and was lower than expected, industrial production and exports far exceeded expectations, and the economic growth remained stable. The central bank's interest - rate cut and the reduced risk of tariff escalation between the US and the EU help boost domestic risk appetite in the short term [2]. - Different asset classes have different trends: the stock index oscillates in the short term, and it is advisable to be cautiously long; treasury bonds oscillate at a high level in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see; among commodity sectors, black metals oscillate at a low level in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see; non - ferrous metals oscillate strongly in the short term, and it is advisable to be cautiously long; energy and chemicals oscillate in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see; precious metals oscillate strongly at a high level in the short term, and it is advisable to be cautiously long [2]. Summary by Directory Macro - finance - **Stock Index**: Affected by sectors such as biomedicine, automobiles, and banks, the domestic stock market continued to decline slightly. The short - term risk appetite may be boosted, but there is no obvious macro - drive for trading currently. It is advisable to be cautiously long in the short term [2][3]. - **Precious Metals**: Geopolitical risks and trade policy disturbances increase, and the short - term support for gold is strengthened. In the long - term, the uncertainty of the US economy and the marginal weakening of US debt credit will support the upward movement of the valuation center of precious metals [3][4]. Black Metals - **Steel**: The steel market is in a dilemma, with weakening real demand and increasing supply. It is advisable to treat the short - term steel market with an interval - oscillation mindset [5]. - **Iron Ore**: The price decline of iron ore has widened. Although the iron - water output has decreased, there are differences in the market's view of its decline path. The supply may increase in the second quarter, and it is advisable to take a bearish view in the short term [5]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: The spot prices of silicon manganese and silicon iron have decreased. The demand for ferroalloys is okay, but the downstream procurement sentiment is not good. The market will oscillate in the short term [6][7]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Trump delays imposing a 50% tariff on the EU, boosting market sentiment. The short - term oil price may fluctuate significantly due to event - based factors and macro - impacts [8]. - **Asphalt**: The asphalt price oscillates weakly following crude oil. The demand is average, and the inventory de - stocking has stagnated. It will continue to fluctuate at a high level following crude oil in the short term [8]. - **PX**: The polyester sector has corrected, and PX has declined slightly. It maintains a strong oscillation in the short term but may decline slightly later [8]. - **PTA**: The downstream start - up rate has decreased, and PTA is affected by negative feedback from the downstream. The de - stocking rate will slow down, and the upward space is limited [9]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The de - stocking is mainly due to the decrease in start - up, and the price will oscillate [10]. - **Short - fiber**: It maintains a high - level and weak - oscillation pattern and will continue to oscillate in the short term [11]. - **Methanol**: The price in the Taicang market has declined, and the basis has strengthened. The price will likely remain stagnant in the short term but may decline in the long - term [11]. - **PP**: The domestic PP market has declined. The downstream demand is expected to weaken, and the price is expected to decline under pressure [12]. - **LLDPE**: The polyethylene market price has decreased. The short - term demand has been slightly repaired, but the supply pressure is expected to increase in the future, and the price may decline in the long - term [12]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Copper**: The copper concentrate TC continues to decline, and the supply is increasing. The demand is about to enter the off - season, and the inventory is accumulating. The copper price will oscillate in the short term, and it is advisable to look for short - selling opportunities in the medium - term [14]. - **Aluminum**: The aluminum inventory is decreasing significantly, but the demand growth rate cannot be sustained. It is advisable to be cautious about short - selling in the short term and wait for a better short - selling point [14]. - **Tin**: The supply is gradually recovering, but there is still a raw - material gap in China. The demand is about to enter the off - season, and the market is under pressure [15]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: There is no weather premium for US soybeans currently. The market is in a range - bound situation without a continuous upward drive [16][17]. - **Soybean Meal**: The basis of soybean meal is weakening, and it lacks a stable upward support [17]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The soybean oil inventory is increasing, and the demand is weak. The rapeseed oil inventory is high, but the price is supported by the low - level inventory of rapeseeds and the strong price - support intention of oil mills [17]. - **Palm Oil**: The palm oil in Southeast Asia is in the production - increasing cycle, and the domestic market generally fluctuates with the BMD market but has stronger support when falling [18]. - **Pigs**: The supply of pigs has decreased slightly before the Dragon Boat Festival, but the price is still under pressure in the future. The futures may rise in June due to the high basis [19]. - **Corn**: With the harvest of new - season wheat, the corn price is under pressure, and there is no upward drive currently [19].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Core Views Steel - The steel industry presents a structure of high production, low inventory, weak cost support, and expected demand recovery. However, it is approaching a seasonal weak period. Currently, the demand decline is not significant, and after the tariff reduction in May, terminal orders have improved, with steel exports remaining stable. The prices of rebar and hot-rolled coils are expected to oscillate at low levels, and it is recommended to wait and see for now [1]. Iron Ore - This week, the global iron ore shipping volume increased significantly, while the domestic arrival volume decreased. There is still an expectation of increased supply. The molten iron output decreased, and the port clearance volume remained high. The finished product inventory is low, and the demand is resilient. In the future, the terminal demand for finished products will determine the sustainability of high molten iron production. It is expected that iron ore will maintain an oscillating trend [4]. Coke - Last week, coke futures continued to decline. Another round of price cuts for coke has been implemented, and there are expectations of 2 - 3 more rounds of cuts. The supply is increasing slightly, the demand may decline, and the inventory in coking plants is starting to accumulate. It is recommended to short the coke 2509 contract on rallies and consider a long - hot - rolled - coil and short - coke strategy [5]. Coking Coal - Coking coal futures continued to decline. The spot price is in a continuous decline, and the market is pessimistic. The supply is relatively high, the demand may decline, and the inventory in mines is accumulating. It is recommended to short the coking coal 2509 contract on rallies and continue to hold the long - hot - rolled - coil and short - coking - coal strategy [5]. Ferrosilicon - The daily output of ferrosilicon decreased month - on - month, and the supply pressure has been alleviated. However, the overall inventory is still at a medium - high level. The profits of manufacturers in the main production areas are differentiated, and downstream procurement enthusiasm is low. It is expected that the price will decline [6]. Ferromanganese - Recently, the daily output of ferromanganese has increased slightly. The supply pressure is concentrated in the northern regions. The molten iron output decreased, and the finished product inventory is low with resilient demand. The manganese ore supply is expected to increase, and the price will be under pressure. Ferromanganese is expected to maintain a bottom - oscillating trend [6]. Summaries by Directory Steel Steel Prices and Spreads - Rebar and hot - rolled coil spot and futures prices generally declined. For example, the rebar spot price in East China dropped from 3190 yuan/ton to 3180 yuan/ton, and the rebar 05 contract price decreased from 3097 yuan/ton to 3078 yuan/ton [1]. Cost and Profit - The billet and slab prices remained unchanged.
