1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Steel: Oscillating weakly [1] - Iron Ore: Narrow - range oscillation [1] - Coking Coal: Oscillation [1] - Coke: Oscillation [1] - Manganese Silicon: Oscillation [1] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillation [2][4] 2. Core Views of the Report - **Steel**: On August 27, 2025, the rebar futures market had a narrow - range adjustment. The rebar 2510 contract closed at 3111 yuan/ton, down 2 yuan/ton or 0.06% from the previous trading day, with a decrease of 73,400 lots in positions. Spot prices slightly declined, and trading volume remained low. This week, the national building materials production increased by 53,900 tons to 4.0883 million tons, social inventory increased by 160,300 tons to 6.1761 million tons, factory inventory increased by 83,100 tons to 3.1516 million tons, and the apparent demand for building materials decreased by 27,700 tons to 3.8449 million tons. Since August, the supply - demand situation in the rebar spot market has continuously deteriorated, with increased supply, low demand, and reverse - seasonal inventory accumulation, suppressing the futures market. It is expected that the short - term rebar futures market will oscillate weakly [1]. - **Iron Ore**: On August 27, 2025, the main iron ore futures contract i2601 decreased to 775.5 yuan/ton, down 1 yuan/ton or 0.1% from the previous trading day, with a trading volume of 220,000 lots and an increase of 2,000 lots in positions. In terms of supply, Australia's iron ore shipments increased significantly, Brazil's shipments declined from the high level, and the shipments from other countries decreased, resulting in a slight decline in global iron ore shipments. In terms of demand, the hot metal production increased by 90 tons to 2407,500 tons. The inventory of 47 ports increased, while the steel mills' inventory decreased. With multiple factors at play, it is expected that iron ore prices will show a narrow - range oscillation in the short term [1]. - **Coking Coal**: On August 27, 2025, the coking coal futures market declined. The coking coal 2601 contract closed at 1154 yuan/ton, down 6.5 yuan/ton or 0.56%, with an increase of 7067 lots in positions. In the spot market, the price of gas - bearing raw coal in Xinzhou, Shanxi, decreased by 31 yuan to 506 yuan/ton. The Mongolian coal market was weak, with the price of Mongolian No. 5 raw coal at the Ganqimaodu port dropping by 7 yuan to 978 yuan/ton, and the price of Mongolian No. 3 clean coal remaining unchanged at 1100 yuan/ton. Recently, there have been frequent coal mine accidents, and many coal mines in major production areas such as Shanxi have stopped production. The downstream's phased replenishment has ended, and the procurement of raw materials is cautious. The eighth round of coke price increase has not received a response from steel mills. It is expected that the short - term coking coal futures market will oscillate [1]. - **Coke**: On August 27, 2025, the coke futures market declined. The coke 2601 contract closed at 1669.5 yuan/ton, down 11.5 yuan/ton or 0.68%, with an increase of 442 lots in positions. In the spot market, the price of port coke remained stable. After seven rounds of price increases, the profits of coke enterprises have improved significantly. However, due to environmental protection and other factors, some coke enterprises have had phased production restrictions, and the overall operating rate has slightly declined. The coke enterprises' inventory pressure is small. In terms of demand, traffic control in some areas has affected the arrival of coke at steel mills, and with the approaching military parade, more steel mills have production restrictions. The steel market outlook is weak, and steel mills mainly purchase on - demand. It is expected that the short - term coke futures market will oscillate [1]. - **Manganese Silicon**: On Wednesday, the manganese silicon futures price oscillated weakly. The main contract closed at 5832 yuan/ton, a 0.92% decrease, and the positions in the main contract increased by 6261 lots to 306,000 lots. The market price of manganese silicon in various regions was 5620 - 5800 yuan/ton, remaining basically unchanged from the previous day. Recently, market sentiment has changed rapidly. On the previous day, the Shanghai Composite Index dropped in the late trading session, and the black - goods sector was weak, with coking coal leading the decline. Although the futures price has decreased, the spot market has strong price - holding sentiment. In terms of fundamentals, the production cost of manganese silicon is still relatively stable, and the price of port manganese ore remains unchanged. In terms of supply - demand, the weekly production of manganese silicon has been increasing, and the demand is relatively stable. There is no significant contradiction in the fundamentals, and it is not sufficient to support a continuous upward movement of the manganese silicon futures price. It is expected that the short - term manganese silicon futures price will mainly fluctuate with the overall black - goods market, and attention should be paid to market sentiment [1]. - **Ferrosilicon**: On Wednesday, the ferrosilicon futures price oscillated weakly. The main contract closed at 5634 yuan/ton, a 1.02% decrease, and the positions in the main contract decreased by 1503 lots to 218,300 lots. The aggregated price of ferrosilicon in various regions was about 5350 - 5400 yuan/ton, remaining basically unchanged from the previous day. Recently, market sentiment has been volatile. The decline of the Shanghai Composite Index in the late trading session affected the black - goods sector, and the ferrosilicon futures price dropped. In terms of fundamentals, the weekly production of ferrosilicon has been increasing, and the year - on - year increase exceeds 10%. The demand for steel has been suppressed, and the demand from sample steel mills for ferrosilicon has remained basically unchanged. The inventory pressure is acceptable, as the inventory of 60 sample enterprises, although still at a relatively high level in the same period of history, has decreased for two consecutive weeks. Overall, there are no major contradictions in the ferrosilicon fundamentals in the near term, and more attention should be paid to market sentiment. It is expected that ferrosilicon will mainly fluctuate with the overall black - goods market in the short term [2]. 3.

There may be short - term long - position trading opportunities this week. The valuation of steel futures has been restored to a neutral range [2] - The market sentiment of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese fluctuates greatly. Although the anti - involution policy supports prices, the industry still has high inventory and de - stocking pressure [3] - In the coking coal and coke market, the eighth round of coke price increase has started. The futures market is strong, but in the short - term, it may be in a volatile pattern, and the medium - term trend depends on steel supply [5] - The iron ore market may be strong in the short - term. Although there is an expected increase in supply, policy impacts may be more important than price itself [6] 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - On August 25, the far - month contract closing prices of RB2601, JM2605, etc. showed different degrees of increase, with the highest increase of 6.41%. The near - month contract closing prices also had varying degrees of increase, with the highest increase of 6.48% [1] - Spot prices of steel products such as rebar and hot - rolled coil also increased to different extents on August 25 [1] - The basis of steel products such as rebar and hot - rolled coil changed on August 25, and the spread and profit of steel products also had corresponding changes [1] - The steel market has a slight recovery in volume and price, and the valuation of steel futures has been restored to a neutral range.

Group 1: Market Information - **In the futures market of rebar**: RB05 was at 3223 yuan/ton, down 38 yuan; RB10 was at 3113 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan; RB01 was at 3182 yuan/ton, down 39 yuan. The spreads between different contracts also changed, such as RB01 - RB05 being -38 yuan, down 1 yuan [3]. - **In the futures market of hot - rolled coil**: HC05 was at 3361 yuan/ton, down 27 yuan; HC10 was at 3367 yuan/ton, down 22 yuan; HC01 was at 3357 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan. The spreads between different contracts also had fluctuations, like HC01 - HC05 being -4 yuan, up 7 yuan [3]. - **In the spot market of rebar**: The prices of rebar in different regions had slight changes. For example, Shanghai Zhongtian was at 3270 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan. The spot profits in different regions generally decreased, such as the East China rebar profit dropping from -157 yuan to -163 yuan [3]. - **In the spot market of hot - rolled coil**: The prices of hot - rolled coil in different regions also changed. For example, Tianjin Hegang hot - rolled coil was at 3370 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan. The spot profits of hot - rolled coil in some regions decreased, such as the Tianjin hot - rolled coil profit dropping from -192 yuan to -195 yuan [3]. Group 2: Market Judgment - **Related prices**: The net price of Shanghai Zhongtian rebar was 3280 yuan (+30), Beijing Jingye was 3250 yuan (+10), Shanghai Angang hot - rolled coil was 3430 yuan (+30), and Tianjin Hegang hot - rolled coil was 3380 yuan (+20) [7]. - **Trading strategy**: The black sector declined today, maintaining a weak oscillation. Spot trading was weak, mainly at low prices. Steel production continued to resume last week, with rebar production decreasing and hot - rolled coil production increasing. The overall inventory of the five major steel products increased, but the inventory accumulation speed slowed down. Steel exports remained strong, and the apparent demand for hot - rolled products was still high. The steel price was supported due to the recovery of steel demand, high hot - metal production, and strong steel exports. As the military parade approaches, hot - metal production is expected to decrease next week, alleviating the supply pressure. However, after August, the coal daily consumption will decline, blast furnaces may resume production quickly, and the steel fundamentals may deteriorate. If the expectation of coal mine production reduction fails, the steel price will still face pressure after the parade. It is expected that the steel price will maintain a bottom - oscillating trend in the short term. In September, attention should be paid to the peak - season demand, coal mine safety inspections, overseas tariffs, and domestic macro and industrial policies [8]. - **Option strategy**: It is recommended to wait and see [9]. - **Unilateral and arbitrage strategies**: The steel price is expected to maintain a bottom - oscillating trend. It is recommended to wait and see for arbitrage [10].
