1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Steel: Sideways [2] - Iron Ore: Sideways to Bearish [4] - Coking Coal and Coke: Sideways [6] - Thermal Coal: Stable to Slightly Bullish [7] 2. Core Views - The steel market is in a slack season with prices oscillating weakly. The overall contradiction in the steel market is not prominent, but poor building material demand, weak downstream purchasing sentiment, and higher seasonal inventory accumulation are suppressing rebar prices. High inventory is also constraining the price space of hot-rolled coils. Before the holiday, steel inventories continue to rise, and supply-demand pressure increases slightly. With weakening raw material prices, steel prices will maintain a weakly oscillating trend [1]. - The iron ore market sentiment is weak, and prices are oscillating. High prices have led to high non-mainstream shipments, but global shipments are seasonally declining. Daily average hot metal production is stable, and iron ore consumption has slightly increased month-on-month. Port inventories are continuously rising, and as steel mill restocking nears completion, the support for raw material prices is weakening. The supply-demand contradiction in the iron ore market is deepening, and if port liquidity issues are resolved, port supplies could cause a significant supply shock [3]. - The coking coal and coke market is experiencing weak trading, with prices oscillating weakly. As the holiday approaches, more coal mines are announcing shutdowns, leading to a light trading atmosphere, with many auctions failing and prices falling in the coking coal market. After the first round of coke price increases, coke producers' profits have improved, but most steel mills have completed winter restocking, leading to a sharp decline in speculative demand for coke [5]. - The thermal coal market is experiencing weak supply and demand, with prices remaining stable. As the Spring Festival approaches, more private mines in the main production areas are on holiday, leading to a tightening supply. Downstream demand, except for some chemical industries, has shrunk significantly. The market is characterized by low activity, with supply and demand both weak. Import coal prices are rising due to supply uncertainties in Indonesia. Before the holiday, the upside for prices is limited, and they are expected to remain stable to slightly bullish. After the holiday, as coal mine supply resumes and the peak season nears its end, prices may face downward pressure [7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, steel futures prices oscillated downward. On Monday, the rebar inventory in Hangzhou was 79.3 million tons, with an outbound volume of 0.2 million tons, compared to 58.5 million tons and 0.5 million tons respectively in the same period last year. Building material demand is poor, and downstream purchasing sentiment is weak. Seasonal inventory accumulation is slightly higher than last year, suppressing rebar prices. Plate demand is relatively stable, but high inventory is constraining the price space of hot-rolled coils [1]. - **Supply and Demand Logic**: Before the holiday, steel inventories continue to rise, and supply-demand pressure increases slightly. With weakening raw material prices, steel prices will maintain a weakly oscillating trend. Later, attention should be paid to winter restocking and changes in raw material prices [1]. - **Strategy**: Sideways for single - sided trading, no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, or options trading [2]. Iron Ore - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, iron ore futures prices oscillated. In the spot market, the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties at Tangshan Port fluctuated slightly. Traders' quotes mostly followed the market, and steel mills' purchases were mainly for刚需. The cumulative transaction volume of iron ore at major national ports was 55.5 million tons, a 13.01% month - on - month decrease. The cumulative transaction volume of forward - looking spot iron ore was 69.5 million tons (5 transactions), a 13.93% month - on - month increase (with all transactions from mines) [3]. - **Supply and Demand Logic**: High prices have led to high non - mainstream shipments, but global shipments are seasonally declining. Daily average hot metal production is stable, and iron ore consumption has slightly increased month - on - month. Port inventories are continuously rising, and as steel mill restocking nears completion, the support for raw material prices is weakening. The supply - demand contradiction in the iron ore market is deepening, and if port liquidity issues are resolved, port supplies could cause a significant supply shock. Later, attention should be paid to changes in iron ore inventories and negotiation progress [3]. - **Strategy**: Sideways to bearish for single - sided trading, no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, or options trading [4]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the main futures contracts of coking coal and coke oscillated weakly. As the holiday approaches, more coal mines are announcing shutdowns, leading to a light trading atmosphere, with many auctions failing and prices falling in the coking coal market. The spot prices of coke in the main production areas and ports are relatively stable, and coke producers' production is relatively stable. After the first round of coke price increases, coke producers' profits have improved, but most steel mills have completed winter restocking, leading to a sharp decline in speculative demand for coke [5]. - **Supply and Demand Logic**: In the short term, coke prices are expected to oscillate and follow cost fluctuations. For coking coal, as steel mill hot metal production has recovered, the rigid demand for coking coal remains resilient. However, as downstream restocking nears completion, speculative demand has declined. As the Spring Festival approaches, more coal mines are shutting down for the holiday, and Mongolian coal imports will be suspended during the Spring Festival, alleviating the supply pressure on coking coal. Before the Spring Festival, coal prices are expected to remain stable with narrow adjustments. Attention should be paid to the resumption of domestic coal production after the festival [6]. - **Strategy**: Sideways for both coking coal and coke in single - sided trading, no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, or options trading [6]. Thermal Coal - **Market Analysis**: In the production areas, more private mines in the main production areas are on holiday, leading to a tightening supply. Downstream demand, except for some chemical industries, has shrunk significantly. Before the holiday, prices are expected to change little, and attention should be paid to the recovery of market supply and demand after the holiday. At ports, as the Spring Festival approaches, downstream users are on holiday, and terminal daily consumption is continuously declining, resulting in low market activity. Affected by the tightening supply at the mine mouth, market supplies to ports are tight, and port shipments are in a continuous loss - making situation. Currently, the market shows weak supply and demand, and prices remain stable. In the import market, the tender prices of imported coal are continuously rising. Due to uncertainties in the later production policies of Indonesian mines, prices are relatively high [7]. - **Supply and Demand Logic**: Recently, due to coal mine holidays, supply has shrunk, and downstream factories are also gradually taking holidays, resulting in weak supply and demand. Affected by supply in the import market, domestic thermal coal prices have maintained a slight upward trend. Recently, the full approval of the RKAB of a leading Indonesian mine is expected, and the approval results of other mines will be announced successively. In the later period, Indonesian supply is expected to recover. Overall, before the holiday, the upside for prices is limited, and they are expected to remain stable to slightly bullish. After the holiday, as coal mine supply resumes and the peak season nears its end, prices may face downward pressure [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - The People's Bank of China will continue to implement a moderately loose monetary policy, carry out regular treasury bond trading operations, and pay attention to changes in long - term yields. The adjustment of residents' asset allocation will eventually flow back to the banking system, and there will be no significant change in the liquidity situation [6]. - For naphtha, the near - end Asian naphtha premium has been rising.
