1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - On July 30, the main iron ore futures contract 2509 showed a weakening trend, closing at 789.0 yuan/ton, down 0.44%. The current price trend is mainly affected by macro - sentiment. After the Politburo's expectations are realized, the speculation sentiment may fade, and the Sino - US negotiation setbacks put pressure on the upper limit of ore prices. However, the high production of steel mills provides continuous support. Therefore, the ore price is expected to consolidate at a high level in the short term, and attention should be paid to the results of the third round of Sino - US negotiations [7][12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review and Future Outlook 3.1.1 Market Review - On July 30, the main iron ore futures 2509 contract opened higher and then oscillated downward, closing at 789.0 yuan/ton, down 0.44%.

The overall shipments recovered after the seasonal decline. The current weekly shipments of 19 ports in Australia and Brazil are at a medium level of about 27 million tons. The arrivals last week dropped to a relatively low level of 22.405 million tons. Considering the shipping time, the arrivals may oscillate at this level until mid - August and then rise again. On the demand side, the downstream steel demand is in a seasonal decline, and the molten iron output has slightly decreased but remains above 2.4 million tons. The profitability rate of steel enterprises has increased again, and steel enterprises maintain high production, which is expected to slow down the production - cut process and support the ore price [11]. 3.2 Industry News - On July 23, the CPC Central Committee held a symposium for non - Communist Party personages, emphasizing the need to do a good job in the second - half economic work, including stabilizing employment, enterprises, markets, and expectations, and boosting consumption [13]. - On July 30, the China Coking Industry Association's Market Committee held a meeting.

The "anti - involution" concept dominates the market, and the market is affected by factors such as supply - demand, policies, and macro - level expectations. Attention should be paid to policy changes on both supply and demand sides [2][3] Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Rebar: In the off - season, demand is weak, production continues to decline, and inventory accumulates slightly at a low level. Hot - rolled coil demand has resilience, production continues to fall, and inventory drops slightly. Iron - water production rises and remains high, and the market's negative feedback pressure is low under the low - inventory pattern. Domestic demand is weak, and exports are relatively high. The market is affected by "anti - involution" and shows volatile fluctuations. Attention should be paid to policy changes [2] Iron Ore - The supply side has increased global shipments compared to the previous period and is stronger than the same period last year. Domestic arrivals have declined from a high level, and port inventories are stable with no obvious short - term inventory accumulation pressure. The demand side has high iron - water production in the short term as steel mills have high profit ratios and low motivation for active production cuts. The market sentiment is improved by macro - level factors, but the current price is high, and there is a risk of increased price fluctuations [3] Coke - The price is volatile during the day. The second round of price increases for coking has been proposed, and coking profits are meager. Coking daily production has increased slightly after a continuous decline.

The "anti - involution" impact is gradually emerging, and the futures price is at a premium, with a possible short - term upward trend [6] Silicon Manganese - The price has declined during the day. Due to previous continuous production cuts, the inventory level has decreased, and the weekly production recovery rate is slow. The spot manganese ore price has risen following the futures price. Affected by "anti - involution", the market has increased expectations for demand - side policies, and the price follows the rebar trend with a relatively small increase [7] Silicon Iron - The price has declined during the day. Iron - water production has risen above 242. Export demand remains at about 30,000 tons, with a small marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal has decreased slightly month - on - month, and the secondary demand has decreased marginally. Overall demand is acceptable.
