1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Although there is an oversupply of steel and an accumulation of plate stocks, there are no signs of a collapse in demand. The inventory pressure can be relieved by compressing profits and reducing production. However, attention should be paid to the impact of new iron ore production capacity on steel. It is recommended to wait and see for single - sided trading and focus on the recovery of apparent demand in the weekly data of Steel Union today [1]. Iron Ore Industry - Due to the weak steel prices and declining profitability of steel mills, the weak demand will force the iron ore market to operate weakly.

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Steel**: Although steel demand is weak, the cost side provides support. For the January contracts, pay attention to the price supports of 3000 for rebar and 3200 for hot-rolled coils. If the hot-rolled coil apparent demand can recover to the 3.25 million tons level at the end of September, the steel inventory pressure will be low. Rebar production is lower than apparent demand, and with losses in tonnage steel profit, it is expected to maintain a de-stocking trend [2]. - **Iron Ore**: Due to the weak operation of steel prices and the continuous decline in the profitability of steel mills, concerns on the supply side and weakness on the demand side will limit iron ore to fluctuate within a range. Pay attention to whether the steel industry implements the ban on new production capacity and production reduction control in the fourth quarter, as well as the progress of China-Australia iron ore negotiations. Macroscopically, focus on the impact of the China-US tariff war and subsequent negotiations. For strategies, iron ore is still in a balanced and slightly tight pattern, and the weakness of finished products drags down raw materials. Temporarily observe on a single side, with the range referring to 750 - 830, and recommend the arbitrage strategy of going long on iron ore and short on hot-rolled coils [5]. - **Coke**: Speculative investors are advised to go long on Coke 2601 at low prices, with the range referring to 1550 - 1700. The arbitrage strategy is to go long on coking coal and short on coke. Pay attention to the signs of bottom stabilization as the market fluctuates greatly [7]. - **Coking Coal**: It is recommended to go long on Coking Coal 2601 at low prices in the short term, with the range referring to 1080 - 1200. The arbitrage strategy is to go long on coking coal and short on coke. Be cautious as the market fluctuates greatly [7]. 3.
