1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - Recently, the prices of coking coal and coke on the futures market have fluctuated significantly, mainly following the changes in oil, gas, and chemical products. The trading is mainly driven by funds and sentiment, and the weight of their own fundamentals has decreased. The current supply of domestic coking coal is not tight. China's coking coal supply is mainly domestic and supplemented by imports. The main source countries for imports are Mongolia and Russia, with stable supplies, and Australia and Canada as supplementary sources. Geopolitical conflicts have limited direct impact on China's coking coal supply, and the impact is indirect. Before the conflict eases or ends, coking coal prices may fluctuate significantly following oil and gas prices [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Information - **Futures Prices**: The futures prices of coking coal and coke showed varying degrees of increase. For example, the JM01 coking coal futures price increased by 4.5 from 1461.5 to 1466, and the J01 coke futures price increased by 8.5 from 1887.5 to 1896 [4]. - **Spot Prices**: The spot prices of coking coal and coke remained stable, with no price changes for most varieties on that day [4]. - **Warehouse Receipts**: The warehouse receipts of coking coal and coke also remained unchanged [4]. - **Basis**: The basis of coking coal and coke varied among different contracts and varieties [4]. - **Transportation Prices**: Most of the transportation prices of coking coal and coke remained stable, except that the transportation price from Xiaoyi to Guye District increased by 20 from 150 to 170 [4]. 3.2 Market Judgement - **Trading Strategy** - **Single - side**: Recently, the price fluctuations are large. Conservative investors are advised to wait and see. Considering the risk - return ratio, they can also try to go long at low prices. In the medium term, it is expected to continue wide - range fluctuations, and there is no trend - based opportunity yet. It is recommended to conduct band trading [6]. - **Arbitrage**: Wait and see [7]. - **Options**: Wait and see [8]. - **Related Prices**: The report lists the warehouse receipt prices of various types of coking coal and coke, such as the warehouse receipt price of Shanxi coking coal is 1180 yuan/ton, and the warehouse receipt price of Rizhao Port's quasi - first - grade (wet - quenched) coke is 1581 yuan/ton [9]. - **Important Information** - The price of动力煤in Shaanxi Yulin shows a trend of stable and fluctuating adjustment. The prices of some coal mines have decreased by 10 - 20 yuan, and the current market price of high - calorie pulverized coal in Shenmu area is 600 - 625 yuan/ton. - A large steel mill in Tangshan tendered for Meng 5 clean coal on the 12th, with a winning bid price of 1380 yuan/ton, an increase of 20 yuan/ton compared with the previous tender on March 2nd, and all 7000 tons of the tendered quantity were sold [10]. 3.3 Related Attachments - The report provides multiple charts, including the comprehensive absolute price index of coke, the price of Meng 5 clean coal, the basis of coking coal and coke, etc., showing the price trends from 2021 to 2026 [12][14][22]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "oscillation" [5] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical conflicts increase energy valuation, and the expectation of stable growth provides support for domestic demand. Steel mills are expected to resume production during the peak season, leading to strong cost support and firm prices in the sector. However, there are still inventory contradictions in steel products, and the peak - season expectations are cautious. High inventory pressure in iron ore is difficult to relieve, Mongolian coal imports are high, the supply - demand surplus in glass and soda ash remains unchanged, and the fundamentals of alloys provide limited support. Thus, the upward potential of the futures prices is restricted [1] - In the off - season, the fundamentals lack highlights, and the peak - season expectations are cautious. The upward driving force from the real - world situation is limited. Uncertainties such as domestic and overseas macro - expectations and geopolitical disturbances still exist, and the futures prices may fluctuate sharply. Attention should be paid to geopolitical risks and the fulfillment of peak - season demand [5] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - Iron ore: The supply - side shipping has recovered but there are still expectations of disruptions. The high inventory pressure is difficult to relieve in the short term. With the Two Sessions and geopolitical disturbances, there are still macro uncertainties. Recently, commodities have shown strength. If macro disturbances weaken, the fundamental pressure on iron ore will be greater, and it is expected to oscillate weakly [1][8] - Scrap steel: The supply - demand pattern of the short - term scrap steel market, which was previously weak in both supply and demand, has marginally improved. The demand recovery rhythm is slightly faster than the supply, and the fundamentals provide some support for the price. Driven by the rise in finished - product prices, it is expected to follow the upward trend in the short term [9] 3.2 Carbon Element - Coke: In the short term, there are disturbances in hot metal production, but there is still long - term rigid demand support for coke. The possibility of multiple consecutive rounds of price cuts after the first round of spot price cuts is small. The futures prices are expected to follow the cost - side coking coal. If the geopolitical conflict persists, it may follow the energy prices and show strength; if the conflict eases, it is expected to maintain an oscillating operation [2][10] - Coking coal: The resumption of coal mine production is still restricted, but there is still real - world fundamental pressure on coking coal due to high Mongolian coal imports. The spot prices are expected to oscillate. The current futures prices are greatly affected by domestic and overseas macro - expectations and geopolitical conflicts. If the conflict persists, it may follow the crude oil prices and show strength; if the conflict eases, it is expected to maintain an oscillating operation [2][12] 3.3 Alloys - Manganese silicon: The supply - demand of the manganese silicon market is loose, the upstream inventory is high, and there are obstacles in cost transmission. There is obvious selling - hedging pressure above the futures prices. Attention should be paid to the risk of price correction when the futures prices rise above the cost line [2][15] - Ferrosilicon: Currently, there is not much supply - demand contradiction in ferrosilicon, but the continuous repair of profits may accelerate the resumption of production by manufacturers, making the supply - demand relationship gradually turn loose. The current futures valuation is higher than the comprehensive cost of ferrosilicon, and attention should be paid to the risk of high - level price correction [2][17] 3.4 Glass and Soda Ash - Glass: There are still expectations of supply disruptions, but the inventories of middle - and downstream enterprises are moderately high. Fundamentally, the current supply - demand is still in surplus. If the production and sales cannot improve continuously, the high inventory will always suppress the price [2][13] - Soda ash: The supply is stable at a high level in the short term, and the overall supply - demand is still in surplus. It is expected to oscillate in the short term. In the long run, the supply - surplus pattern will further intensify, the price center will continue to decline, and capacity reduction will be promoted [2][15] 3.5 Specific Product Analysis - Steel: There is still cost support, and the futures prices have risen slightly. After the festival, downstream demand has gradually started, and price rebounds have stimulated the entry of futures - spot traders and rigid - demand replenishment. However, the overall supply level is low, demand is at a low level, and inventories are accumulating. The upward potential of prices is limited, and attention should be paid to the peak - season demand [7] - Iron ore: The fundamentals have limited changes, and the futures prices oscillate. Overseas mine shipping has decreased, arrivals have increased, demand has declined in the short term but is expected to recover seasonally later. The inventory has increased slightly, and the futures prices oscillate. If macro disturbances weaken, the fundamentals will face greater pressure [7][8] - Scrap steel: The supply - demand has marginally improved, and the spot prices have risen slightly. Supply recovery is slow, demand has recovered faster, and inventories have decreased. It is expected to follow the upward trend in the short term, and attention should be paid to the sustainability of the finished - product price rebound and the actual recovery progress of terminal demand [9] - Coke: The fundamentals have limited changes, and the futures prices follow the oscillation. After the first round of price cuts, supply has decreased slightly, demand has rigid support, and inventories have accumulated at a slower pace. The futures prices follow the cost - side coking coal [10] - Coking coal: There is still a geopolitical premium, and the futures prices follow the oscillation. Supply has basically recovered, imports are high, and downstream procurement enthusiasm is general. The spot prices are expected to oscillate, and the futures prices are affected by macro and geopolitical factors [12] - Glass: The improvement in sentiment has driven the production and sales of spot products, and the upstream expects to reduce inventories. Supply may decline in the long term, demand has not fully recovered, and middle - stream inventories are large, suppressing the futures valuation. It is expected to oscillate in the short term [13] - Soda ash: Driven by the increase in energy costs, the price center has rebounded. Supply is stable at a high level, demand is stable, and the supply - demand fundamentals have not changed significantly. It is expected to oscillate in the short term and decline in the long term [13][15] - Manganese silicon: The cost remains high, and the futures prices oscillate strongly. The cost has support, supply is relatively loose, demand recovery is slow, and there is selling - hedging pressure above the futures prices. Attention should be paid to the risk of price correction [15] - Ferrosilicon: The futures valuation is high, and attention should be paid to the risk of price correction. The cost has support, demand recovery is slow, supply is expected to increase, and the current futures valuation is higher than the cost. Attention should be paid to the risk of high - level price correction [17] 3.6 Index Information - On March 11, 2026, the comprehensive index of CITIC Futures was 2565.65, a decrease of 0.28%; the commodity 20 index was 2921.03, a decrease of 0.32%; the industrial products index was 2484.54, a decrease of 1.01% [102] - The steel industry chain index on March 11, 2026, had a daily increase of 0.06%, a 5 - day increase of 1.85%, a 1 - month decrease of 0.24%, and a year - to - date decrease of 0.55% [104]

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The conference call discusses the global geopolitical landscape, particularly focusing on the U.S. strategic priorities and their implications for various markets, including commodities, energy, and financial assets. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **U.S. Strategic Focus for 2026**: The U.S. will prioritize the Western Hemisphere, followed by the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East, aiming to prevent adversarial control over energy routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, which is seen as a key indicator of victory in conflicts [1][2][3]. 2. **Market Trading Logic**: The core logic for 2026 trading is driven by "de-dollarization" and increased volatility. De-dollarization involves countries reducing their holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds rather than a unilateral bearish outlook on the dollar, which retains its safe-haven status [1][3]. 3. **U.S. Treasury Yield Impact**: A significant policy shift may occur if the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield exceeds 4.8%, potentially leading to a more accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve in 2026, especially as it is a midterm election year [1][4]. 4. **China's Policy Focus**: China aims to strengthen its internal capabilities and long-term planning, with a focus on achieving a GDP growth rate of 4%-4.5% and maintaining a stable CPI around 2% to meet its 2035 goals [1][5]. 5. **Commodity Market Analysis**: The Wenhua Commodity Index is expected to reach a long-term target of 940 points, with gold projected to hit between $6,400 and $7,200. Oil is currently in a corrective phase with a support level at $82, expected to rebound into a fifth wave of growth [1][10][25][24]. 6. **Chemical Sector Valuation**: The chemical sector is currently undervalued compared to historical levels, with a shift in pricing anchors from gold to energy and chemicals, indicating potential investment opportunities [1][29]. 7. **Monetary Policy Adjustments**: The People's Bank of China is maintaining a moderately accommodative stance, with recent measures to stabilize the yuan and support liquidity through bond purchases [1][8][6]. 8. **Inflation and Market Dynamics**: Current inflationary pressures are influenced by external factors, but domestic demand and employment levels remain weak, limiting the likelihood of a shift in monetary policy [1][7][6]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Geopolitical Strategy**: The U.S. aims to maintain a fragmented Eurasian landscape to prevent the emergence of rival powers, with Russia and Iran playing critical roles in this strategy [2][3]. 2. **Historical Context for Investment Strategies**: Historical investment strategies, such as those proposed by Menger, suggest that investors should seek assets with stable characteristics amid geopolitical tensions, highlighting the relative strength of Chinese assets in the current context [9]. 3. **Technical Analysis in Volatile Markets**: In the current high-volatility environment, technical analysis is emphasized as a crucial tool for decision-making, as it reflects real-time market behavior and can guide trading strategies effectively [10][11][22]. 4. **Commodity Price Trends**: The analysis of commodity prices, particularly oil and agricultural products, indicates a complex interplay of supply and demand dynamics, with potential for significant price movements based on geopolitical developments and market sentiment [22][23][30]. This summary encapsulates the key insights and arguments presented in the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the current market landscape and strategic considerations for investors.
