1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Steel: In Q3, influenced by coal production cuts, coking coal drove up the black - metal price center. However, steel prices were not strong due to weak demand. In August, domestic real - estate and infrastructure investment declined, and manufacturing investment growth weakened. Although coal supply interference persisted, steel and raw materials did not move in tandem, and Q4 had significant macro - policy disturbances. In September, steel apparent demand seasonally recovered, and high exports digested production, leading to inventory reduction. Steel prices are expected to fluctuate within a range, with rebar between 3100 - 3350 yuan and hot - rolled coil between 3300 - 3500 yuan. Consider selling out - of - the - money put options [1]. - Iron Ore: As of the previous day's close, the iron ore 2601 contract showed a downward - fluctuating trend. Supply - side: last week, global iron ore shipments decreased, and 45 - port arrivals increased. Future arrivals are expected to first rise and then fall. Demand - side: steel mill profit margins slightly declined, but molten iron production increased, and steel mills' restocking demand grew. The fundamentals improved slightly, but were still insufficient in the peak season, with raw materials stronger than finished products. Port inventories increased, and the dredging volume decreased, while steel mills' equity ore inventories rose. In the future, molten iron production will remain high in October, and low port inventories support iron ore prices, but beware of port inventory accumulation risks in Q4. Iron ore is in a balanced - to - tight situation, but weak finished products drag down raw materials. It is expected to fluctuate weakly, with a range of 750 - 830. Short the iron ore 2601 contract on rallies, and recommend the spread strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coking coal [4]. - Coke: As of the previous day's close, coke futures showed a weak downward trend, with a divergence between spot and futures prices. Mainstream coke enterprises started to raise prices, and port trade quotes fluctuated with futures. On the spot side, after the second price cut by mainstream steel mills on September 15, prices rebounded on September 25. It is expected that the spot price of coke will gradually rebound, with 2 - 3 rounds of increases possible. On the supply side, rising coking coal prices led to some coke enterprises' losses and reduced production. On the demand side, steel mills continued to resume production, and molten iron production increased slightly. In terms of inventory, coking plants and ports reduced inventory, while steel mills increased inventory. The market is mainly trading pre - holiday restocking progress and future supply - demand changes. Due to rising coking coal costs and high molten iron production, the futures price has already priced in potential price increases. Speculate by shorting the coke 2601 contract on rallies, with a range of 1550 - 1750, and recommend the spread strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coke [6]. - Coking Coal: Yesterday, coking coal futures showed a weak downward trend, with a divergence between spot and futures prices. Spot auction prices generally rose, and Mongolian coal quotes followed the futures up and then down. The domestic coking coal market is running strongly, with improved downstream procurement willingness and better market transactions. On the supply side, main - producing area coal mines continued to resume production this week, logistics improved, and coal mines sold at discounted prices. Imported Mongolian coal prices rose, and the border port will be closed for 7 days during the National Day holiday. On the demand side, molten iron production continued to rise, and coking plant operations were stable, with increased downstream restocking demand. In terms of inventory, mines and ports reduced inventory, while ports, coal - washing plants, coking plants, and steel mills increased inventory. After significant restocking, downstream restocking demand will decline, and coking coal prices may peak and fall. Short the coking coal 2601 contract on rallies, with a range of 1150 - 1300, and recommend the spread strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coking coal [6]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports [1][4][6] 2. Core Views Steel - Steel supply and demand have increased month - on - month, with the apparent demand of five major steel products rising to 8.74 million tons and inventory starting to decline. The supply - demand gap has narrowed. Considering high steel exports, seasonal improvement in demand, and a positive macro - environment, steel prices are expected to remain in a high - level oscillatory range. The recommended operation is to try long positions with a light position and hold short positions on the January hot - rolled coil and rebar spread [1] Iron Ore - As of the previous day's close, the iron ore 2601 contract showed a strong oscillatory trend. Supply - side global shipments decreased week - on - week while port arrivals increased. Demand - side, steel mill profit margins slightly declined, but daily hot - metal production increased. The fundamentals improved slightly, but were still insufficient for the peak season. The port inventory increased, and the steel mill inventory also rose. Iron ore is in a tight - balance situation, with a recommended trading range of 780 - 850. The strategy is to go long on iron ore 2601 on dips and recommend an arbitrage of long iron ore and short coke [4][6] Coke - As of the previous day's close, the coke futures rebounded. Spot prices are expected to gradually rise, with a possible 2 - 3 round increase. Supply - side, rising coking coal prices led to some losses for coke enterprises and a decline in production. Demand - side, steel mills continued to resume production, and hot - metal production increased. Inventory - side, coke plants and ports reduced inventory, while steel mills increased inventory. The strategy is to go short on the coke 2601 contract at high levels in the range of 1650 - 1800 and recommend an arbitrage of long coking coal and short coke [6] 3.
