Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2) Core View of the Report - The price of finished steel products is in a small - range shock consolidation, with a doji candlestick in price, and the weak downstream demand is the key factor dragging down steel prices. As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, the spot market is gradually entering the holiday rhythm, and there may still be funds leaving the market, leading to a decline in market trading. The macro - level is calm and has little impact on prices. The raw materials are expected to run weakly in a shock, and attention should be paid to the 3000 support level for rebar. [2][4] 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Finished Steel Products - As of February 11, 2026, only two domestic hot - rolled strip steel producers have introduced winter storage preferential policies, both for internal agreement customers and surrounding strategic customers, and the rest of the steel mills have not introduced such policies and will follow the usual sales policies during the Spring Festival. This week, the average tax - free hot - metal cost and the average tax - included billet cost of mainstream sample steel mills in Tangshan have decreased slightly, and the loss per ton of steel mills has increased by 10 yuan compared with the ex - factory price of common billets at 2,900 yuan/ton. [3] - The price of finished steel products is in small - range shock consolidation, and the weak downstream demand drags down prices. As the Spring Festival approaches, the spot market enters the holiday rhythm, with possible fund outflows and reduced trading. The macro - level is calm and has little impact on prices. [2][4] Raw Materials - The raw materials are expected to run weakly in a shock, and attention should be paid to the 3000 support level for rebar. The later - stage concerns are macro policies and downstream demand. [4]

Core Viewpoint - The domestic steel processing industry is facing significant challenges due to price volatility, mismatched procurement and sales cycles, and complex risk management operations, particularly for a national high-tech enterprise in Hebei that consumes over 100,000 tons of steel annually [1][2]. Group 1: Company Overview - The company is recognized as a benchmark in the steel processing sector, having been selected as a "specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative" demonstration enterprise, with a comprehensive quality management system and 75 national patents [1]. - The company’s products have been awarded as city brand products, but it faces challenges due to raw material costs constituting 70% of its expenses, making it vulnerable to steel price fluctuations [1]. Group 2: Challenges Faced - The inherent contradiction between "sales-based production" and "market-based procurement" exposes the company to price risks, compounded by the time lag in bidding processes [2]. - The company has historically been forced into passive procurement due to a reluctance to maintain raw material exposure, leading to difficulties in profit locking and cash flow management [2]. Group 3: Futures Market Strategy - The company, previously inexperienced with futures trading, aims to hedge against procurement price volatility and stabilize raw material costs through a tailored futures strategy designed by Huazheng Futures [2][3]. - The correlation coefficients between the spot price of Tangshan Q235 hot-rolled coil and futures prices are 0.97 over six months and 0.90 over one year, indicating effective hedging potential [2]. Group 4: Implementation and Results - In September 2024, the company adopted a "spot + futures" strategy for a 1,500-ton hot-rolled steel order, purchasing 500 tons as spot and the remaining 1,000 tons through futures [3]. - The company executed futures trades that resulted in a procurement cost 10 yuan per ton lower than the spot price, demonstrating the dual value of futures in mitigating raw material price risks and enhancing profitability [3]. Group 5: Industry Trends - The steel processing industry is experiencing increased concentration, with larger firms seeking to leverage derivative tools for cost reduction and efficiency [3][4]. - The fair pricing mechanisms of rebar and hot-rolled coil futures, along with innovative strategies like "virtual procurement" and "rolling hedging," are reshaping traditional trading models [3][4]. Group 6: Conclusion - The case illustrates that effective utilization of the futures market can help companies overcome challenges related to high inventory, costs, and volatility, transforming these issues into competitive advantages [4].
