Viewpoint: concussion arrangement. Today, RB1910 hit a new high of 4094 in the year, after the fall, out of the roller coaster market, from the data point of view, this week thread social inventory increased and steel mill inventory decreased, indicating that steel factory shipments are smooth, plant warehouse has signs of transfer to the social database. At the same time, thread production also fell again, indicating that under the implementation of environmental protection measures to limit production, supply-side shrinkage expectations began to become a reality. In the later period, there will be another 70th anniversary, and the suppression of environmental protection on supply is still worth looking forward to. At present, the factor restricting the market is that with the sharp rise in futures prices, the basis has converged, calculated at today's highest price has been close to the flat water, there is a need to fall back and adjust in the short term, and the further rise of the later futures price also needs the spot price to follow up to promote. In terms of iron ore, shipments have rebounded significantly in the last week, and the decline in port inventories has also narrowed, but futures are still deeply discounted and still have strong support for market prices. In terms of coke, today, Shandong Laigang Yongfeng also cut the purchase price of coke by 100, and the scope of the second round of raising and lowering is constantly expanding. At the same time, Hebei Tangshan steel plant blast furnace began to stop, limit production, the overall coke demand has a downward trend, for the short-term price rise has been suppressed, but with the second round of landing, downgrade cycle or come to an end, the price can stop falling and pick up. Strategy: RB1910 contract to see the range (3850, 4100); I1909 contract to look at the range (750850), more single Fenggao reduction, fall back and then pick up, rolling operation.

BHP-Amazon copper EAC pilot draws mining-sector interest in lower-carbon labelling
Spanish-language mining media report that BHP and Amazon have rolled out the first lower-emissions copper pilot at Escondida using Environmental Attribute Certificates, certifying emissions reductions within the mining setting rather than offsetting them elsewhere. Unveiled on 22 September 2026, the pilot leverages Escondida's renewable electricity and desalinated water, with Amazon retiring the certificates to match lower-carbon attributes to its AI infrastructure. Escondida produces about 1.2 million tonnes of copper annually as the world's largest mine, and the label is expected to serve growing demand for low-carbon metal procurement.
