1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Views of the Report Steel Industry - Steel prices are difficult to decline in resonance considering the strong coal prices. It is recommended to wait and see on a single - side basis. One can consider a long - carbon and short - iron arbitrage, such as going long on coking coal and short on hot - rolled coils. The spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar will continue to converge, and steel mill profits will continue to converge before the clearance of steel production and inventory [2] Ore Industry - The iron ore market is shifting from a balanced and tight state to a more relaxed one. Affected by the weak performance of finished steel, it is recommended to wait and see on a single - side basis, with a reference range of 750 - 800. An arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal and short on iron ore is recommended [5] Coke Industry - Coke futures showed an oscillating upward trend. The second - round price increase by mainstream coking enterprises is in progress. Due to factors such as tight coking coal supply and weak downstream demand, the price increase is not going smoothly. It is recommended to go long on coke 2601 at low levels, with a reference range of 1650 - 1770, and consider a long - coking - coal and short - coke arbitrage [8] Coking Coal Industry - Coking coal futures showed an oscillating upward trend. The spot market is on an upward trend. Due to production cuts in some mines and a decline in Mongolian coal imports, supply is tight. It is recommended to go long on coking coal 2601 at low levels, with a reference range of 1150 - 1300, and consider a long - coking - coal and short - coke arbitrage [8] 3.

Group 1: Steel Industry Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the steel industry report. Core Viewpoints - After the holiday, the apparent demand for steel has recovered, but there was significant inventory accumulation in the plate market. Steel mills need to cut production to ease inventory pressure, and the price decline has already factored in the expected supply surplus. The carbon element cost on the cost side is supported, while the iron element cost may decline due to the expected drop in molten iron. Steel prices have fallen significantly, compressing steel mill profits. It is recommended to wait and see on single - side trades. The January contracts for rebar and hot - rolled coils are expected to stabilize around 3000 and 3200 yuan respectively and enter a sideways consolidation trend. Given the expected reduction in coal mine production and the strengthening of thermal coal, the carbon element is stronger than the iron element. A long - carbon and short - iron arbitrage can be considered, such as a long - coking coal and short - hot - rolled coil operation. The spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar is expected to continue to narrow [1]. Summary by Directory - **Steel Prices and Spreads**: Rebar and hot - rolled coil prices showed mixed trends in different regions and contracts. For example, the spot price of rebar in East China increased by 10 yuan/ton to 3200 yuan/ton, while the 01 contract price decreased by 12 yuan/ton to 3037 yuan/ton. The spot price of hot - rolled coils in East China decreased by 10 yuan/ton to 3270 yuan/ton, and the 01 contract price decreased by 15 yuan/ton to 3204 yuan/ton [1]. - **Cost and Profit**: The billet price remained unchanged at 2920 yuan, and the slab price was stable at 3730 yuan. The cost of Jiangsu electric - arc furnace rebar decreased by 7 yuan to 3300 yuan, while the cost of Jiangsu converter rebar increased by 13 yuan to 3153 yuan. Profits in different regions and for different products showed varying degrees of decline [1]. - **Production and Inventory**: The daily average molten iron output decreased by 0.6 to 240.9, a decline of 0.3%. The output of five major steel products decreased by 6.4 to 857.0, a decline of 0.7%. The inventory of five major steel products decreased by 18.5 to 1582.3, a decline of 1.2%. The rebar inventory decreased by 18.6 to 641.1, a decline of 2.8%, while the hot - rolled coil inventory increased by 6.3 to 419.2, an increase of 1.5% [1]. - **Transaction and Demand**: The building materials trading volume decreased by 0.7 to 9.5, a decline of 6.7%. The apparent demand for five major steel products increased by 124.0 to 875.4, an increase of 16.5%. The apparent demand for rebar increased by 66.6 to 219.8, an increase of 43.5%, and the apparent demand for hot - rolled coils increased by 20.5 to 315.6, an increase of 7.0% [1]. Group 2: Iron Ore Industry Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the iron ore industry report. Core Viewpoints - Last week, iron ore futures continued to decline in a sideways trend. On the supply side, the global iron ore shipment volume decreased, and the arrival volume at 45 ports increased. On the demand side, the steel mill profit margin declined slightly, the molten iron output decreased from a high level, and the steel mill replenishment demand weakened. In the future, due to the weak operation of steel prices, the steel mill profitability will continue to decline, and the weak demand will force iron ore to operate weakly. The iron ore market is shifting from a state of slightly tight balance to oversupply. It is recommended to wait and see on single - side trades, with a reference range of 730 - 800. An arbitrage strategy of long - coking coal and short - iron ore is recommended, and it is advisable to buy out - of - the - money put options on the 2601 iron ore contract at high prices [4]. Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: The warehouse receipt costs of some iron ore varieties decreased slightly, while the 01 - contract basis of some varieties increased. The 5 - 9 spread increased by 0.5 to 21.5, an increase of 2.4%, and the 1 - 5 spread decreased by 0.5 to 21.0, a decrease of 2.3% [4]. - **Supply and Demand**: The weekly arrival volume at 45 ports increased by 437.1 to 3045.8, an increase of 16.8%, and the global weekly shipment volume decreased by 71.5 to 3207.5, a decrease of 2.2%. The weekly average molten iron output of 247 steel mills decreased by 0.6 to 241.0, a decrease of 0.2%, and the weekly average port clearance volume at 45 ports decreased by 20.7 to 315.7, a decrease of 6.1% [4]. - **Inventory**: The 45 - port inventory increased by 192.1 to 14278.27, an increase of 1.4%, and the imported iron ore inventory of 247 steel mills decreased by 63.5 to 8982.7, a decrease of 0.7% [4]. Group 3: Coking Coal and Coke Industry Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the coking coal and coke industry report. Core Viewpoints - **Coke**: Last week, coke futures showed a sideways upward trend. The spot market had a second - round price increase proposed by mainstream coking enterprises. On the supply side, coking production decreased due to losses. On the demand side, the molten iron output of steel mills decreased from a high level, steel prices weakened, and steel mill profits declined. In the inventory aspect, coking plants and steel mills reduced inventory, while ports accumulated inventory. Recently, production cuts at Mongolian coal mines, rising prices in Shanxi auctions, and the impact of mine accidents have led to concerns about supply, causing coal - coke prices to rebound from the bottom. Speculative investors are advised to go long on the 2601 coke contract at low prices, with a reference range of 1650 - 1800, and an arbitrage strategy of long - coking coal and short - coke can be considered [6]. - **Coking Coal**: Last week, coking coal futures also showed a sideways upward trend. The spot price in Shanxi recovered, and the prices of some coal types rebounded significantly. After the holiday, the domestic coking coal market began to rebound after a slight decline. On the supply side, although main - producing area coal mines resumed production after the holiday, recent mine accidents have led to expectations of supply reduction. On the demand side, the molten iron output decreased slightly, and coking plant operations decreased slightly but remained at a relatively high level. In the inventory aspect, coal mines, coal - washing plants, coking plants, and steel mills accumulated inventory, while ports and border crossings reduced inventory. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 coking coal contract at low prices in the short term, with a reference range of 1150 - 1300, and an arbitrage strategy of long - coking coal and short - coke can be considered [6]. Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: For coke, the price of Shanxi quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke (warehouse receipt) remained unchanged at 1561 yuan, and the 01 - contract price increased by 4 yuan to 1676 yuan. For coking coal, the price of Shanxi medium - sulfur primary coking coal (warehouse receipt) remained unchanged at 1300 yuan, and the 01 - contract price decreased by 7 yuan to 1179 yuan [6]. - **Supply**: The daily average output of all - sample coking plants decreased by 0.8 to 65.3, a decrease of 1.3%, and the daily average output of 247 steel mills decreased by 0.6 to 241.0, a decrease of 0.2%. The weekly output of Fenwei sample coal mines increased, with the raw coal output increasing by 18.2 to 854.9, an increase of 2.2%, and the clean coal output increasing by 11.8 to 438.2, an increase of 2.8% [6]. - **Demand**: The molten iron output of 247 steel mills decreased by 0.6 to 241.0, a decrease of 0.2%. The daily average output of all - sample coking plants decreased by 0.8 to 65.3, a decrease of 1.3%, and the daily average output of 247 steel mills decreased by 0.6 to 241.0, a decrease of 0.2% [6]. - **Inventory**: The total coke inventory decreased by 17.9 to 891.9, a decrease of 2.0%. The coking coal inventory of Fenwei coal mines decreased, while the coking coal inventory of all - sample coking plants, 247 steel mills, and the available days increased to varying degrees [6].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Steel**: Although steel demand is weak, the cost side provides support. For the January contracts, pay attention to the price supports of 3000 for rebar and 3200 for hot-rolled coils. If the hot-rolled coil apparent demand can recover to the 3.25 million tons level at the end of September, the steel inventory pressure will be low. Rebar production is lower than apparent demand, and with losses in tonnage steel profit, it is expected to maintain a de-stocking trend [2]. - **Iron Ore**: Due to the weak operation of steel prices and the continuous decline in the profitability of steel mills, concerns on the supply side and weakness on the demand side will limit iron ore to fluctuate within a range. Pay attention to whether the steel industry implements the ban on new production capacity and production reduction control in the fourth quarter, as well as the progress of China-Australia iron ore negotiations. Macroscopically, focus on the impact of the China-US tariff war and subsequent negotiations. For strategies, iron ore is still in a balanced and slightly tight pattern, and the weakness of finished products drags down raw materials. Temporarily observe on a single side, with the range referring to 750 - 830, and recommend the arbitrage strategy of going long on iron ore and short on hot-rolled coils [5]. - **Coke**: Speculative investors are advised to go long on Coke 2601 at low prices, with the range referring to 1550 - 1700. The arbitrage strategy is to go long on coking coal and short on coke. Pay attention to the signs of bottom stabilization as the market fluctuates greatly [7]. - **Coking Coal**: It is recommended to go long on Coking Coal 2601 at low prices in the short term, with the range referring to 1080 - 1200. The arbitrage strategy is to go long on coking coal and short on coke. Be cautious as the market fluctuates greatly [7]. 3.
