1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The short - term price of the black building materials industry is expected to be "strong - biased", and the medium - term outlook is "sideways" [1][2][6] 2. Core View of the Report - The expectation of supply contraction is strengthened, and the market sentiment is optimistic. Frequent macro - level positive factors combined with a good fundamental situation lead to a short - term strong - biased price trend in the black building materials industry [1][2][6] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Iron Element - Overseas mines have basically ended their quarterly volume - pushing, with a decline in shipments. The arrival volume at 45 ports has slightly increased but fallen short of expectations, and there may be a concentrated arrival in the next 1 - 2 weeks. The profitability rate of steel enterprises has remained stable, and the molten iron production of small - sample steel enterprises has slightly decreased but remains at a high level year - on - year. The port inventory has slightly decreased, and the overall supply - demand contradiction is not prominent. The market sentiment is good, and the futures price is oscillating strongly [2] Carbon Element - In the supply side, coal mines in Shanxi are gradually resuming supply, but there are still regional disturbances, and the overall supply is slowly recovering. At the import end, the daily customs clearance at the port has remained above 800 vehicles in recent days, and the pre - festival stocking sentiment is evident. In the demand side, the coke production has slightly decreased, and there is still short - term rigid demand for coking coal. The downstream procurement sentiment is positive, and the coking coal trading atmosphere is good. Currently, the supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals is not prominent, and future attention should be paid to coal mine复产 and Mongolian coal imports [3] Alloys - **Manganese Alloy**: The manganese ore price has remained stable, but the port inventory has slightly increased, and there is still room for the ore price to decline in the future. The supply - demand relationship of manganese silicon is becoming looser, and it is more difficult to reduce inventory. The upward driving force of the futures price is insufficient, but the downward space is limited due to cost support, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term. - **Silicon Iron**: The supply - demand relationship of silicon iron is relatively healthy, but there is a possibility of filling the supply - demand gap in the future, which makes it more difficult to reduce inventory. The upward driving force of the silicon iron price is insufficient, but due to the continuous loss in the industry, the price is expected to oscillate in the short term under cost support [3][6] Glass - In the demand side, the demand in the off - season is declining, and the deep - processing demand is still weak. In the supply side, there are still 3 production lines waiting to produce glass, and a production line is planned to resume production, so the supply pressure still exists. The upstream inventory has slightly decreased, and the internal contradiction is not prominent. Recently, the anti - involution sentiment has increased, and the market is worried about supply - side production cuts. It is expected that the futures price will oscillate [12][13] Soda Ash - The supply - side over - capacity situation has not changed, and the long - term suppression still exists. The production is at a high level, and the supply pressure remains. In the demand side, the demand for heavy soda ash is expected to maintain rigid procurement, and the demand for light soda ash is weak, with manufacturers continuously reducing prices. The market is affected by sentiment, and the long - term over - supply pattern is difficult to change. It is recommended that enterprises seize the short - term positive - feedback hedging opportunities. The short - term outlook is sideways, and the long - term price center is expected to decline [6][13] Specific Product Analysis - **Steel**: In the off - season, the fundamental contradiction is limited, and the off - season pressure remains to be observed. Overseas tariffs are constantly disturbing, and after the steel price increase, the pressure on steel exports shows a marginal weakening trend. It is expected that the futures price will oscillate in the short term [8] - **Iron Ore**: The molten iron production of small - sample steel enterprises has decreased, and the price is oscillating upward. The demand is at a high level, and the fundamental contradiction is not obvious. After this round of upward movement, the futures price has reached an important resistance level, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term [8] - **Scrap Steel**: The supply and demand are both weakening marginally, and it is expected to oscillate after the macro - level sentiment cools down [9] - **Coke**: The cost support is strengthening, and the expectation of price increase is growing. The current supply - demand pattern has further improved, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term [10][11] - **Coking Coal**: The market sentiment is high, and both the spot and futures prices are strengthening. The current fundamental supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term [12] - **Silicon Manganese**: The spot market is in a stalemate. The supply - demand relationship is becoming looser, and it is difficult to reduce inventory. The upward driving force of the futures price is insufficient, but the downward space is limited due to cost support, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term [14] - **Silicon Iron**: The supply - demand relationship is currently healthy, but there is a possibility of filling the supply - demand gap in the future, making it difficult to reduce inventory. The upward driving force of the price is insufficient, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term under cost support [16]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints - On July 9, 2025, the coking coal futures price rose. The supply was tight due to safety inspections in major production areas, potential closure of the capacity replacement window, and the implementation of the Mineral Resources Law. Meanwhile, demand increased during the "peak summer" period, with high power plant consumption, rising coking industry and iron - making开工率. The price increase may raise steel production costs and attract more funds to the coal industry. Investors are advised to seize the opportunity of low - buying on dips [3]. - For stock index futures, considering the June CPI and PPI data, the market is expected to continue high - level consolidation [7]. - For gold, although there was an adjustment due to the Fed's decision not to cut interest rates, the long - term upward trend remains. It is recommended to buy on dips at important support levels [11][12]. - For iron ore, supply is rising, iron - making output is seasonally weakening, and ports are restocking. There is a risk of overvaluation, and steel mill profits should be monitored. The market is expected to maintain a wide - range shock [14][15]. - For glass, waiting for the effect of real - estate stimulus or major policy. The market is expected to maintain a wide - range shock [17][18]. - For soybean oil, due to the uncertain US biodiesel policy and Middle - East situation, the short - term trend may be strong, but mid - term supply will increase. When the price reaches the resistance area of 7950 - 8000, short - selling with a light position is recommended [20]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Coking Coal - Supply: In June, over 30 coal mines in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia were shut down for rectification. There are rumors that the capacity replacement window will close in the second half of the year, with an expected annual production cut of 1.2 billion tons. The implementation of the Mineral Resources Law on July 1 led to about 30% of small coal mines facing exit, such as the suspension of 12 million tons of production capacity in Shanxi, causing a shortage of high - quality coking coal and a 50 - yuan/ton increase in spot price [3]. - Demand: During the "peak summer", the daily power plant consumption exceeded 2.4 million tons, the coking industry开工率 reached 82%, a new high for the year. The daily iron - making output rebounded to 2.35 million tons, and the coking plant开工率 was 73%. Steel mills' passive restocking increased short - term demand [3]. Stock Index Futures - Market situation: In June, CPI rose 0.1% year - on - year, and PPI fell 3.6% year - on - year. The market is expected to continue high - level consolidation [7]. Gold - Market situation: The Fed's decision not to cut interest rates reduced the expectation of rate cuts this year, causing an adjustment in the gold price. However, the long - term upward trend remains, and it is recommended to buy on dips at important support levels [11][12]. Iron Ore - Supply - demand situation: Supply increased month - on - month, iron - making output decreased seasonally, and ports started restocking. The weak reality increased the risk of overvaluation, and attention should be paid to steel mill profits. Technically, it continued to rebound and is expected to maintain a wide - range shock [14][15]. Glass - Supply - demand situation: There has been no major cold - repair situation due to losses in the supply side, factory inventories are still high, downstream deep - processing orders lack restocking motivation, and demand has not increased significantly. It is waiting for real - estate stimulus or major policy. Technically, it continued to rebound and is expected to maintain a wide - range shock [17][18]. Soybean Oil - Market situation: Due to the uncertain US biodiesel policy and Middle - East situation, the short - term trend may be strong, but mid - term supply will increase. When the price reaches the resistance area of 7950 - 8000, short - selling with a light position is recommended [20].

The main contract reference range is 12500 - 13000 [3]. 5. Energy and Chemical Sector 5.1 Crude Oil - The tariff issue has eased, and positive factors have driven the disk up. It is recommended to take a short - term bullish view. The resistance levels for WTI are [68, 69], for Brent are [70, 71], and for SC are [510, 520] [3]. 5.2 Urea - There is still some order support on the demand side. Pay attention to the progress of export - related news in the future. Enter the market cautiously on dips in the short term. If the actual demand fails to meet expectations, exit the market. The support level for the main contract is adjusted to 1690 - 1700 [3]. 5.3 PX - Oil prices are strong, but the supply - demand margin has weakened. The short - term driving force for PX is limited. PX09 will operate in the range of 6500 - 6900 in the short term. Pay attention to the support at the lower end of the range [3]. 5.4 PTA - The supply - demand outlook has weakened, but the cost side is strong. PTA will maintain an oscillation.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The overall outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillating" [6][8][9][11][13][14][16][17]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "anti - involution" associated production - cut expectation benefits have temporarily ended. Steel price upward momentum is weak due to impacts on finished product exports and lackluster spot price follow - up. However, high - temperature weather supports coal prices, and the iron ore shipment rush is basically over, with the furnace material fundamentals being acceptable. The industry's fundamentals are currently in a relatively balanced state, with limited contradictions in each link. Iron water has slightly declined but remains at a high level year - on - year, and steel inventories are low, limiting the downside space. In the short term, the market is expected to oscillate within a range, and future attention should be paid to policy implementation and the degree of demand weakening [1][2][6]. 3. Summaries by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - Overseas mines have basically ended their quarterly shipment rush this week, with a decline in shipments. The arrival volume at 45 ports has slightly increased but fallen short of expectations, and there may be a concentrated arrival in the next 1 - 2 weeks. On the demand side, the profitability rate of steel enterprises has remained stable, and steel enterprises' iron water production has slightly decreased but remains at a high level year - on - year. Due to the lower - than - expected arrival volume and high demand, port inventories have slightly decreased, and the overall supply - demand contradiction is not prominent [2][8]. 3.2 Carbon Element - Two coal mines in Linfen and Changzhi, Shanxi, resumed production last weekend, with a total production capacity of 8.4 million tons, and the regional supply has recovered. Other regions' coal mines have basically maintained their previous production rhythms, and the overall supply is gradually increasing. On the import side, the Mongolian coal port transactions are active, and the regulatory area inventory continues to decline, but the China - Mongolia port will be closed from this Friday to next Tuesday. On the demand side, coke production has slightly decreased, and there is still short - term rigid demand for coking coal. Downstream coking enterprises are actively purchasing, but there are signs of market waiting due to the expectation of coal mine复产. Currently, the supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals is not prominent, and future attention should be paid to coal mine复产 and Mongolian coal imports [3]. 3.3 Alloys - **Manganese alloys**: Manganese ore prices have slightly declined. With the gradual recovery of Australian ore shipments, a slight increase in port inventory, and the arrival of forward low - price futures ore, there is further downward space for ore prices. On the supply side, in a profit - recovery environment, manufacturers' motivation to resume production has increased, and the daily production of manganese silicon has increased for 7 consecutive weeks. On the demand side, the finished product output is currently at a high level and stable, but the terminal steel demand is in the off - season, the steel inventory reduction has slowed down, and there is a possibility of a slight decline in finished product output. Attention should be paid to the guidance of the bidding price of the landmark steel mill on the market [3]. - **Silicon iron**: The supply - demand relationship of silicon iron is relatively healthy, but there is a possibility of filling the supply - demand gap in the future, which increases the difficulty of market inventory reduction. The upward driving force for silicon iron prices is insufficient, but the industry is still in a loss state. With cost support, the short - term futures market is expected to oscillate [3][6][16]. 3.4 Glass - In the off - season, glass demand is declining, the deep - processing demand has continued to weaken, and upstream inventories are accumulating, with off - season pressure still existing. The sales in Shahe are average, mainly driven by rigid demand. On the supply side, there are still 3 production lines waiting to produce glass, and one production line is planned to resume production soon, so the supply - side pressure still exists. Upstream inventories have slightly decreased, and the internal contradictions are not prominent. Recently, the "anti - involution" sentiment has increased, and the market's concern about supply - side production cuts has risen. In the medium term, it remains to be seen whether downstream demand can be stimulated [6][13]. 3.5 Soda Ash - The over - supply pattern of soda ash has not changed. There are rumors that the photovoltaic industry is "anti - involution", with an expected significant reduction in daily melting volume. Currently, the photovoltaic daily melting volume has slightly decreased, the demand for heavy soda ash has flattened, and the demand expectation is weak. The downstream demand for light soda ash is weak, and manufacturers have continued to reduce prices. Emotions are interfering with the futures market, and the long - term over - supply pattern is difficult to change. It is recommended that enterprises seize the short - term positive - feedback hedging opportunities [6][13]. 3.6 Specific Product Analyses - **Steel**: Overseas tariffs are constantly disturbing, and after the steel price increase, there are signs of a marginal weakening in steel export pressure. The off - season fundamentals of steel have limited contradictions, and the off - season pressure remains to be observed. In the short term, the futures market is expected to oscillate, and future attention should be paid to domestic and overseas policy disturbances and the sustainability of off - season demand [8]. - **Iron ore**: The demand for iron ore is at a high level, and the supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals is not obvious. After this round of upward movement, the futures price has reached an important resistance level, and the spot market is still mainly in a wait - and - see state. In the short term, the ore price is expected to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the maintenance situation in Tangshan [8]. - **Scrap steel**: The supply and demand of scrap steel have both weakened marginally, and its own driving force is insufficient. After the macro - environment cools down, the price is expected to oscillate [9]. - **Coke**: The supply and demand of coke are gradually tightening, and the expectation of price increases is strengthening. In the short term, the futures market is expected to oscillate, and future attention should be paid to whether the coal price can continue to rise [10][11][12]. - **Coking coal**: The upstream coal mines are still reducing inventories, and the spot price is temporarily stable. In the short term, the futures market is expected to oscillate, and future attention should be paid to coal mine复产 and Mongolian coal imports [11][13][14]. - **Silicon manganese**: The supply - demand relationship of silicon manganese is becoming more relaxed, and the difficulty of market inventory reduction is increasing. The upward driving force for futures prices is insufficient, but with cost support, the price's downside space is limited. In the short term, the futures market is expected to oscillate [15]. - **Silicon iron**: The current supply - demand relationship of silicon iron is relatively healthy, but there is a possibility of filling the supply - demand gap in the future, increasing the difficulty of market inventory reduction. The upward driving force for silicon iron prices is insufficient, but with cost support, the short - term futures market is expected to oscillate. Attention should be paid to the adjustment of silicon iron's electricity cost [16].
