Report Industry Investment Rating - The report is bullish on the bond market, predicting that the yield of the 10Y Treasury bond will fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.8% in the second half of 2025 and may gradually return to around 1.65%, and the 5Y national stock secondary will fall below 1.9%.

Report's Core View - In July 2025, credit demand was weak, with a rare negative growth in new loans. The growth rates of M2 and M1 both rebounded. Social financing increased year - on - year, but its growth rate may have reached a phased peak. The report is bullish on the bond market [1][2]. Summary by Relevant Content Credit Situation - In July, new loans were - 500 million yuan, a rare negative growth, indicating weak credit demand. The near - zero interest rate of 1 - month term transfer discount at the end of July reflected poor credit delivery. The reduction of time deposit rates in May may increase the pressure of early mortgage repayment. Individual loans decreased by 48.93 billion yuan, including a decrease of 38.27 billion yuan in short - term individual loans and 11 billion yuan in medium - and long - term individual loans. Corporate short - term loans decreased by 55 billion yuan, corporate medium - and long - term loans decreased by 26 billion yuan, and bill financing increased by 87.11 billion yuan. Credit demand may be weak in the long term due to low capacity utilization in manufacturing, weak real estate investment, and limited infrastructure investment space [2]. M2 and M1 Situation - Since January 2025, the central bank has adopted a new M1 caliber, which further includes personal current deposits and customer reserves of non - bank payment institutions on the basis of the previous M1. As of the end of July 2025, the balance of the new - caliber M1 reached 111.06 trillion yuan. The new - caliber M1 growth rate in July was 5.6%, a 1 - percentage - point increase from the end of the previous month, related to the stock market recovery and a low year - on - year base. The M2 growth rate in July was 8.8%, a 0.5 - percentage - point increase from the previous month [2]. Social Financing Situation - In July, the social financing increment was 1.16 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.39 trillion yuan, mainly from the net financing of government bonds and corporate bonds. The increment of RMB loans to the real economy was - 42.63 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 34.55 billion yuan; undiscounted bank acceptance bills were - 16.38 billion yuan; corporate bond net financing was + 27.91 billion yuan; government bond net financing was 1.24 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.56 trillion yuan. The social financing growth rate at the end of July was 9.0%, a 0.1 - percentage - point increase from the end of the previous month and a 1 - percentage - point increase from the beginning of the year. It is expected that in 2025, new loans will be similar year - on - year, government bond net financing will increase significantly year - on - year, social financing will increase significantly year - on - year, the social financing growth rate may rise first and then fall, and may reach about 8.2% at the end of the year. Due to the misalignment of government bond issuance rhythms, the social financing growth rate may have reached a phased peak in July and may decline in the next few months [2]. Bond Market Outlook - The financial data in July reflected weak financing demand in the real economy. The recent bond market correction was mainly due to the non - bank sentiment fluctuations caused by the strong stock market, rather than changes in the economic fundamentals. In 2025, the bond market lacks a trending market and requires correct band operations. The report predicts that the yield of the 10Y Treasury bond will fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.8% in the second half of the year, and currently, with the central bank's continuous easing, it is fully bullish on the bond market [2].
