1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Overall**: The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the steel industry, including weekly market reviews, forecasts for the black market, and detailed data on various steel - related products [12][14][16]. - **成材**: Driven by raw materials, it is expected to fluctuate strongly. The cost has some support, and in the long - term, downstream demand should be focused on [12][13]. - **铁矿石**: The price is in a high - level oscillation. Although the short - term supply - demand relationship has marginally improved, the long - term supply - demand is expected to be loose. It is recommended to operate within a range and sell out - of - the - money call options [14]. - **煤焦**: The fundamental situation is still supply - strong and demand - weak, but overseas geopolitical conflicts have affected the market sentiment, causing the price to fluctuate sharply. It is advisable to wait and see [15]. - **铁合金**: The demand is rising slightly, and the price is running strongly. Manganese silicon is affected by high inventory, while ferrosilicon is in a tight balance [16]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog 01 周度行情回顾 - **Futures and Spot Prices**: The report presents the closing prices and price changes of futures and spot prices of various steel - related products from March 13 to March 20, 2026, including rebar, hot - rolled coil, iron ore, coke, coking coal, manganese silicon, ferrosilicon, and scrap steel [8]. 02 本周黑色行情预判 成材 - **Logic**: The blast furnace iron - making capacity utilization rate of 247 steel mills increased by 2.61 percentage points, and the steel mill profitability rate increased by 1.29 percentage points. The average capacity utilization rate of 94 independent electric arc furnace steel mills increased by 6.13 percentage points. The cost fundamentals have little change, and the raw material price increase provides cost support. The steel price follows the raw material fluctuations in the short - term, and downstream demand should be focused on in the long - term [13]. - **View**: It is expected to fluctuate strongly [13]. - **Later Concerns**: Macro - policies and downstream demand [13]. 铁矿石 - **Logic**: The macro - drive is weak. The price is in a high - level oscillation due to concerns about limited domestic spot trade liquidity, a decrease in short - term domestic supply intensity, an increase in demand, and an increase in costs caused by the Middle East conflict. The long - term supply - demand is expected to be loose [14]. - **View**: The short - term supply - demand relationship has marginally improved, but the price is not determined by fundamentals. It is recommended to operate within a range and sell out - of - the money call options. The expected price range is 104 - 109 US dollars/ton (61% index), corresponding to 790 - 825 yuan/ton for the 05 contract of Dalian iron ore futures [14]. - **Later Concerns**: Middle East war conflicts, supply - side stability, and long - term agreement negotiation results [14]. 煤焦 - **Logic**: The coking coal futures price fluctuated weakly last week but rose sharply on Friday night. The driving force is mainly the energy concerns caused by the Middle East conflict, and the fundamental upward drive is limited. The supply is still in a high - production and high - import pattern, and the demand is in the process of recovery, showing a weak balance of supply - strong and demand - weak [15]. - **View**: The price fluctuates sharply in the short - term. It is advisable to control risks and wait and see [15]. - **Later Concerns**: Linkage with the energy - chemical sector, production rhythm of coking and steel enterprises, and changes in imported coal customs clearance [15]. 铁合金 - **Logic**: Overseas, the US core PCE data in January strengthened inflation concerns. Domestically, the economic data from January to February was positive. The alloy sector performed relatively strongly. The supply of silicon manganese decreased slightly, and the supply of ferrosilicon increased. The demand for both increased. The inventory of silicon manganese increased, while that of ferrosilicon decreased. The cost of silicon manganese and ferrosilicon is strongly supported [16]. - **View**: The upward space of silicon manganese price is restricted by high inventory, but it will still fluctuate strongly. Ferrosilicon is in a tight balance and will fluctuate slightly in the short - term. Attention should be paid to terminal demand and steel mill profits [16]. - **Later Concerns**: Domestic macro - policies, downstream demand recovery, steel mill profits, and production conditions [16]. 03 品种数据 成材 - **Rebar**: - **Production and Apparent Demand**: The weekly production was 203.33 tons, a week - on - week increase of 8.03 tons and a year - on - year decrease of 22.88 tons.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoint - Steel prices are expected to fluctuate strongly due to rising costs, but the high inventory level in the supply - demand aspect restricts significant price increases. Steel mill profits may be continuously compressed, and attention should be paid to the 5 - 10 positive spread arbitrage [3][5] Summary by Directory 1. Domestic Macro - The macro - environment is generally warm. In 2026, the government set the GDP growth target at 4.5% - 5%, the urban surveyed unemployment rate at around 5.5%, and the CPI increase at around 2%. Key fiscal and monetary policy tools include a fiscal deficit rate of about 4%, issuing 1.3 trillion yuan in ultra - long - term special treasury bonds, arranging 4.4 trillion yuan in local government special bonds, and 755 billion yuan in central budget - internal investment [6][8] 2. Industry Chain - **Supply - demand perspective**: The high inventory level of steel restricts price increases, and the supply - demand relationship drives prices downward [5][9][11] - **Cost perspective**: The cost of steelmaking is rising. Iron ore prices are rising due to factors such as near - end delivery, inventory structural contradictions, and rising freight costs. Coking coal prices are firm due to energy substitution expectations [5][13][17] 3. Rebar Fundamental Data - **Basis and spread**: Last week, the Shanghai rebar spot price was 3230 (- 20) yuan/ton, the 05 - contract price was 3123 (- 19) yuan/ton, the 05 - contract basis was 107 (- 1) yuan/ton, and the 05 - 10 spread was - 28 (- 5) yuan/ton. As demand enters the peak season, attention should be paid to the positive spread arbitrage [19][23] - **Demand**: Second - hand housing transactions remain high, indicating rigid demand, but new - house transactions are at a low level, showing weak market confidence. Land transaction area also remains low. Overall, rebar demand is slowly recovering [24][28][29] - **MS weekly data**: Demand is rising, and inventory is slightly decreasing. Long - and short - process supply and inventory data show different trends [32][33][35] - **Production profit**: Due to rising raw material prices, rebar production profit is being compressed.
