Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide a specific industry investment rating [1][3] Core Viewpoints - The more flexible growth target may not change China's interest rate trend. In 2026, the economic growth target is set at 4.5% - 5%. Fiscal policy is more proactive, with an estimated increase of 11.89 trillion yuan in government debt, about 30 billion yuan more than in 2025. However, considering the base effect, the government debt growth rate may decline. If the social financing growth rate slows down, it is beneficial to interest - rate bonds. Meanwhile, the flexibility of monetary policy operations may increase, with possible 1 - 2 reserve requirement ratio cuts of 25BP each and 1 - 2 policy interest rate cuts of 10BP each. Overall, the benchmark interest rate of the bond market in 2026 is likely to fluctuate within a range, and the 10 - year Treasury bond yield may mainly fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.9% [3] - The escalation of the Middle East situation and shipping safety issues disrupt inflation expectations. The attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz on March 6 led to a rapid increase in international oil prices, which affects US inflation expectations and the US Treasury market. However, from a medium - term perspective, the current Middle East situation is likely to have a pulse - like impact [3] Summary by Directory High - frequency Data Scan - This year, the growth rate of government debt may slow down relatively, but the economic growth target is more flexible, with more emphasis on the price level, and the flexibility of monetary policy may also be higher [1] Impact of the Middle East Situation - The attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz on March 6 led to a rapid increase in international oil prices. In January, energy CPI was the only item among the three major components of US CPI that decreased year - on - year, suppressing inflation. Rising oil prices will affect US inflation expectations and the US Treasury market. From a medium - term perspective, the current Middle East situation is likely to have a pulse - like impact. If the conflict de - escalates, the risk of further escalation may decrease [3] Impact of the Growth Target on Interest Rates - The 2026 economic growth target is set at 4.5% - 5%. Fiscal policy is more proactive, with an estimated increase of 11.89 trillion yuan in government debt, about 30 billion yuan more than in 2025. Considering the base effect, if the final increase in government debt is close to last year, the government debt growth rate may decline. If the social financing growth rate slows down, it is beneficial to interest - rate bonds. The flexibility of monetary policy operations may increase, with possible 1 - 2 reserve requirement ratio cuts of 25BP each and 1 - 2 policy interest rate cuts of 10BP each. In 2026, the benchmark interest rate of the bond market is likely to fluctuate within a range, and the 10 - year Treasury bond yield may mainly fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.9%. As of the week of March 7, the 10 - year Treasury bond yield was still below 1.8%. It is difficult for it to continue to decline before the interest rate cut is realized. The Middle East situation affects global inflation and China's imported inflation, so there should not be high expectations for the trend of interest - rate bonds in the near future [3] High - frequency Data Changes - This week, the average prices of Brent and WTI crude oil futures increased by 17.48% and 19.04% week - on - week respectively.

Core Insights - The report indicates a short-term market fluctuation with a transition into a consolidation phase, while maintaining a structural slow bull market outlook for A-shares in the medium term. It emphasizes the need to closely monitor the next "strategic" entry point [2][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The primary observation metric for the impact of the recent military conflict on equity markets is oil prices, which are influenced by geopolitical risks leading to cost shocks. The blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has created a "hard supply gap" for crude oil, shifting price determination from demand to risk premiums and transportation disruptions [3][11]. - The report outlines a three-stage liquidity feedback loop: 1. Cost shocks from geopolitical risks affecting oil supply [11]. 2. Resilience of inflation disrupting the "rate cut logic," with rising oil prices pushing CPI expectations higher, leading to a delay in anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [11][12]. 3. Liquidity shocks in emerging markets, including A-shares, as strong dollar conditions prompt capital withdrawal from high-elasticity emerging markets back to safe-haven assets [12][17]. Group 2: Strategic Investment Points - The report highlights the need to identify the next "strategic" investment point, noting that previous strategic buy points since 2025 were triggered by trade friction and liquidity expectations. The current phase is characterized by a stable domestic economic structure and ongoing trends in the AI industry, which remain unaffected by military conflicts [18][19]. - The A-share index is approximately 4% away from its equity risk premium's upper bound, indicating potential for upward movement despite valuation and regulatory pressures. The report anticipates a slow bull market throughout the year [18][19]. - The structural focus remains on "technology" and "cyclical resources," with the potential for renewed catalysts in the cyclical resource market due to rising overseas uncertainties. The technology sector is expected to face short-term pressures from tightening overseas liquidity, but long-term investment logic remains intact [18][19].
