Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Views - The main contract price of rebar declined weakly with a daily decline of 0.79%, and both trading volume and open interest contracted. Currently, rebar production has significantly increased, supply has grown, while demand is weak, leading to the accumulation of fundamental contradictions. Steel prices are under pressure during the off - season. The relatively positive factor is the warm commodity sentiment. The subsequent trend will continue to oscillate at a low level, and attention should be paid to inventory changes [5]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil fluctuated weakly with a daily decline of 0.60%, and both trading volume and open interest contracted. Currently, the supply of hot - rolled coil has declined, but inventory is high and the pressure remains. Demand resilience is weakening, and industrial contradictions are likely to accumulate, putting pressure on prices. The relatively positive factor is the decent speculative demand. It is expected that the trend will continue to oscillate, and attention should be paid to demand performance [5]. - The main contract price of iron ore fluctuated weakly with a daily decline of 0.51%, trading volume decreased while open interest increased.
