1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - The steel market is currently in a stalemate with steel products under pressure from supra - seasonal inventory accumulation and limited upward movement in the futures market. The market awaits signals of improved peak - season demand or supply contraction. Iron ore prices are relatively firm due to steel mill复产 and weak coking coal, but there are accumulating risks in the industry chain. The coking coal and coke market has a deteriorating supply - demand balance in the short - term, and the rebound space of coking coal is limited. The ferroalloy market is in a game between strong expectations and weak reality. The soda ash market has a pattern of strong supply and weak demand, and the glass market has a near - term pattern of strong supply and weak demand [3][20][30][44]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Section - **Market News Impact**: News that the Guinea government may require mining companies to build local smelters has potentially affected the shipping expectations of Simandou iron ore, pushing up the iron ore futures market, but the event is highly uncertain [3]. - **Trading Logic**: The market interprets the price increase as due to steel mill复产 and restocking after the parade and a decline in Brazilian ore shipments. Currently, hot metal production is expected to quickly return to a high level, while steel products are in a supra - seasonal de - stocking phase. In this situation, profits should be reduced to suppress supply, but the peak - season demand has not been falsified, and there is resistance to the downward movement of steel product prices, allowing raw materials to squeeze profits [3]. - **Price Outlook**: The steel futures market is expected to be volatile and weak in the near term, waiting for verification of peak - season demand. Breaking the current deadlock requires signals of substantial improvement in peak - season demand or actual supply contraction [3]. - **Price Data**: On September 10, 2025, the closing price of rebar 01 contract was 3109 yuan/ton, down 14 yuan from the previous day; the closing price of hot - rolled coil 01 contract was 3342 yuan/ton, down 7 yuan from the previous day [4]. Iron Ore Section - **Price Influencing Factors**: The main reason for yesterday's price increase was a news report, but the possibility of binding smelter construction to iron ore mining is low, and the event has poor tradability. Iron ore prices have been relatively firm recently due to steel mill复产 and weak coking coal, but there are increasing risks in the industry chain, including low steel mill profits, supra - seasonal inventory accumulation of hot - rolled coils, rising rebar inventory, and increasing supply pressure [20]. - **Price Data**: On September 10, 2025, the closing price of 01 iron ore contract was 805 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the closing price of 05 contract was 781 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the closing price of 09 contract was 847.5 yuan/ton, down 2.5 yuan from the previous day [21]. - **Fundamental Data**: As of September 5, 2025, the average daily hot metal production was 228.84 tons, a weekly decrease of 11.29 tons; the 45 - port ore handling volume was 317.78 tons, a weekly decrease of 0.86 tons; the apparent demand for five major steel products was 828 tons, a weekly decrease of 30 tons [24]. Coal and Coke Section - **Market Situation**: After the end of production restrictions, mines have resumed production. Steel mills have initiated a round of price cuts, and coking enterprises are pessimistic about the future, with a willingness to reduce coking coal inventory. The supply - demand balance of coking coal has deteriorated marginally, while the supply - demand gap of coke is expected to narrow. In the short - term, the coking coal rebound space is limited, and in the long - term, investors need to be vigilant about the impact of macro - sentiment fluctuations on the coal and coke market [30]. - **Price Data**: On September 10, 2025, the coking coal warehouse - receipt cost (Tangshan Mongolian 5) was 1144 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the coke warehouse - receipt cost (Rizhao Port wet - quenched) was 1573 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day [34]. Ferroalloy Section - **Market Situation**: The term structure of ferroalloys has gradually improved, with some contracts changing from contango to backwardation, which is favorable for short - term price increases. The long - term trading logic is based on the anti - involution expectation. The market is in a game between strong expectations and weak reality [44]. - **Price Data**: On September 10, 2025, the silicon - iron basis in Ningxia was - 28 yuan/ton, down 38 yuan from the previous day; the silicon - manganese basis in Inner Mongolia was 176 yuan/ton, down 16 yuan from the previous day [45][48]. Soda Ash Section - **Market Situation**: The mid - to long - term supply of soda ash is expected to remain high. The downstream demand is relatively stable, and the supply - demand pattern of strong supply and weak demand remains unchanged. Attention should be paid to changes in cost and supply expectations [58]. - **Price Data**: On September 10, 2025, the closing price of soda ash 05 contract was 1353 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan from the previous day; the closing price of 09 contract was 1162 yuan/ton, up 3 yuan from the previous day; the closing price of 01 contract was 1281 yuan/ton, up 3 yuan from the previous day [59]. Glass Section - **Market Situation**: The near - term supply - demand pattern of glass is one of strong supply and weak demand, with high inventory in the upper and middle reaches and limited short - term restocking ability. The supply is expected to remain stable with a slight upward trend. The market is in a state of weak balance to weak surplus. Attention should be paid to supply ignition expectations, coal price trends, and the impact of seasonal demand on inventory [84]. - **Price Data**: On September 10, 2025, the closing price of glass 05 contract was 1279 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan from the previous day; the closing price of 09 contract was 995 yuan/ton, down 35 yuan from the previous day; the closing price of 01 contract was 1181 yuan/ton, down 11 yuan from the previous day [85].
