Report Industry Investment Ratings - Steel: Oscillating [1] - Iron Ore: Oscillating with a bearish bias [3] - Coking Coal and Coke: Oscillating [5][6] - Thermal Coal: Stable with a slight upward trend before the holiday, may face pressure after the holiday [7] Core Views - Steel market shows simultaneous weakening of supply and demand, with steel prices oscillating weakly due to pre - holiday inventory growth and lack of raw material drive [1] - Iron ore market has a large supply - demand contradiction, with port inventory slightly decreasing and iron water output rising. If port liquidity issues are resolved, there will be a large supply impact [3] - Coking coal and coke markets have a quiet trading atmosphere before the holiday. Coke prices are expected to oscillate with cost fluctuations, and coking coal prices are expected to be stable with narrow adjustments [5][6] - Thermal coal market has limited trading volume, with prices rising slightly due to supply contraction and expected to be stable and slightly strong before the holiday, but may face pressure after the holiday [7] Summary by Commodity Steel - **Market Analysis**: Futures prices of steel oscillated downward. This week, steel demand dropped significantly, and inventory accumulation accelerated. The output of the five major steel products was 794100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 25800 tons. The inventory was 1.4427 million tons, with an inventory accumulation of 105000 tons (last week's inventory accumulation was 59000 tons). The apparent demand was 689100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 71600 tons [1] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The overall contradiction in the steel market is not prominent. Before the holiday, the construction material terminal is stagnant, and the rebar price is weak. The plate demand is relatively stable, but high inventory restricts the price space of hot - rolled coils. The steel inventory continues to grow before the holiday, and the supply - demand pressure increases slightly. With weak raw material drive, steel prices will oscillate weakly. Later, attention should be paid to winter storage replenishment and raw material price changes [1] - **Strategy**: Unilateral: Oscillating; Other strategies: None [2] Iron Ore - **Market Analysis**: Iron ore futures prices oscillated. In the spot market, the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties in Tangshan Port fluctuated slightly. The daily average molten iron output of 247 steel mills was 330490 tons, a week - on - week increase of 1910 tons. The total inventory of 45 ports was 169.46 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 1.94 million tons [3] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: On the supply side, non - mainstream shipments remain high at high ore prices, and global shipments decline seasonally, with port inventory slightly decreasing. On the demand side, the daily average molten iron output has increased slightly. After steel mills complete replenishment, the support for raw material prices is weak. The supply - demand contradiction is still large. If port liquidity issues are resolved, there will be a large supply impact. Later, attention should be paid to iron ore inventory changes and negotiation progress [3] - **Strategy**: Unilateral: Oscillating with a bearish bias; Other strategies: None [4] Coking Coal and Coke - **Market Analysis**: The futures prices of coking coal and coke oscillated narrowly. The trading atmosphere of coking coal was quiet before the holiday, and the price decreased slightly. The spot price of coke was relatively stable, and most steel mills had completed inventory replenishment. This week, coking coal inventory decreased significantly, and coke inventory increased slightly [5] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: For coke, supply has increased slightly recently. Most steel mills have completed winter storage replenishment. Before the holiday, coking plants adjust production independently, and the price is expected to oscillate and follow cost fluctuations. For coking coal, the molten iron output of steel mills has increased, and the rigid demand maintains resilience. After downstream replenishment is completed, speculative demand shrinks. Before the Spring Festival, coal mines stop production and take holidays one after another, and Mongolian coal customs clearance is suspended during the Spring Festival, so the supply pressure of coking coal is relieved. It is expected that the coal price will be stable with narrow adjustments before the Spring Festival. Attention should be paid to the resumption of domestic coal production after the holiday [6] - **Strategy**: Coking coal: Oscillating; Coke: Oscillating; Other strategies: None [6] Thermal Coal - **Market Analysis**: In the production area, most private coal mines are on holiday, and supply further shrinks. In the port area, most traders are on holiday, and market trading is light. In the import market, the Indonesian policy has not been implemented, and the market pattern remains unchanged [7] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Recently, due to coal mine holidays, supply has shrunk, and downstream factories are also on holiday, so both supply and demand are weak. Affected by supply in the import market, the price of domestic coal continues to rise slightly. It is expected that the Indonesian supply will recover later. Overall, the price increase space before the holiday is limited, and it is expected to run stably and slightly strongly. After the holiday, when coal mine supply recovers and the peak season is approaching the end, coal prices may face pressure [7]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - The steel market shows a pattern of macro - expectation implementation and price fluctuations. The iron ore market has intensifying supply - demand contradictions and wide - range price oscillations. The coking coal and coke market is affected by supply expectations and shows an oscillatory trend. The thermal coal market has weak spot prices and different views at ports [1][2][3][4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Market Analysis**: The main contract of rebar futures closed at 3,074 yuan/ton, and the main contract of hot - rolled coil at 3,233 yuan/ton. Spot steel transactions were average, with prices rising slightly following the futures. National building materials transactions reached 101,217 [1]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Building materials' supply - demand fundamentals are improving, with decreasing production and low inventory pressure. Plate prices are suppressed by high inventory, but demand has resilience. Attention should be paid to demand, exports, production cuts, and profit changes during the off - season [1]. - **Strategy**: The unilateral strategy is to expect price oscillations, and there are no cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, or option strategies [1]. Iron Ore - **Market Analysis**: Iron ore futures prices oscillated. The 2605 contract closed at 753 yuan, down 0.92%. Spot prices fell slightly with few transactions, and steel mills restocked as needed [2]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: This week's iron ore shipments increased by 6.6% week - on - week to 3,592.5 million tons, with Australia up 4.3% and Brazil up 32.7%. Supply - demand contradictions are intensifying, inventory is rising, and some port supplies have weak liquidity, supporting high prices. Some steel mills have started production cuts, and there is an expectation of seasonal decline in molten iron. If port supply liquidity recovers, prices may face pressure [2]. - **Strategy**: The unilateral strategy is to expect price oscillations, and there are no cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, or option strategies [2][3]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Market Analysis**: Coking coal and coke futures prices oscillated strongly, with coking coal prices rebounding significantly. There was strong market wait - and - see sentiment for imported Mongolian coal [3]. - **Logic and Views**: For coking coal, supply is at a low level, and there is no obvious increase. Mongolian coal customs clearance is high, and overall supply - demand contradictions are not prominent. Steel mills' procurement is mainly for刚需, and the market's restocking willingness is weak. For coke, the second price cut has been implemented, profits are shrinking, supply has declined slightly, and demand is weak due to some steel mill overhauls and lack of winter - storage restocking [3][4]. - **Strategy**: Both coking coal and coke are expected to oscillate, and there are no cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, or option strategies [3][4]. Thermal Coal - **Market Analysis**: In the production areas, coal prices are weak, and snow has affected shipments. Some coal mines have stopped production. At ports, there are different views. Some traders think coal prices will stabilize due to increased daily consumption in cold weather, while others are selling at reduced prices due to high inventory and turnover requirements. Import coal has great pressure, and the market is inactive [4]. - **Demand and Logic**: Coal prices have been weak due to lower - than - expected downstream consumption and high inventory. Some coal mines will stop production after completing annual tasks, and supply improvement is difficult. In the long - term, supply pattern changes, non - power coal consumption, and restocking should be monitored [4][5]. - **Strategy**: Attention should be paid to coal mine safety supervision, port inventory changes, daily consumption of power and chemical coal, and other unexpected events [6].
