Report Title - "2025 December Inflation Data Review: Steady Price Recovery and Policy Room" [1] Report Date - January 9, 2026 [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - Nominal GDP growth rate may be an important indicator for interest rate cuts [1][3] - Demand - side policies still have room to play in 2026, and monetary policy may be the focus of incremental policies [3] - It is expected that there may be two 10BP policy interest rate cuts in monetary policy this year [3] Summary by Content Inflation Data in December 2025 - CPI year - on - year increase widened to 0.8%, food prices rose 1.1%, non - food prices rose 0.8%, consumer goods prices rose 1.0%, and service prices rose 0.6% [3] - Among the eight categories of prices, the year - on - year increases of food, tobacco and alcohol, household goods and services, education, culture and entertainment, healthcare, and other goods and services expanded compared with November; the year - on - year increases of clothing, housing, and transportation and communication shrank (or the year - on - year declines expanded) [3] - PPI monthly increase widened and year - on - year decline narrowed, indicating that the recovery of upstream prices was transmitted to downstream as policies to expand domestic demand and promote consumption continued to show effects [3] - Core CPI continued to stabilize and recover, with a year - on - year increase of 1.2%, and the increase was basically the same as the previous month [3] - Food price year - on - year increase expanded to 1.1%, higher than the increase of edible agricultural product prices, and there may be room for further expansion [3] - Rent CPI monthly decline narrowed, and year - on - year decline slightly expanded, reflecting that the supply and demand of urban housing may still be in a balanced state [3] Monetary Policy Outlook - The Central Economic Work Conference in 2025 required that promoting stable economic growth and reasonable price recovery be important considerations for monetary policy, and flexibly and efficiently use various policy tools such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts to maintain sufficient liquidity [3] - Considering the requirements of stable economic growth and reasonable price recovery, nominal GDP growth rate may become an important reference for monetary policy [3] - In 2025, China's GDP had ideal real growth in the first half of the year and good price recovery in the second half, but the two did not show a trend of strengthening simultaneously.

If the Q4 2025 economic data shows that the nominal GDP year - on - year growth rate is stronger than 3.7% in Q3, the interest rate cut may be later; if it is lower than 3.7%, an interest rate cut in the near future cannot be ruled out [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - In 2025, Chinese USD corporate bonds delivered high - single - digit returns (6.87%), showing overall resilience but slightly underperforming the broader Asia ex - Japan USD corporate bond universe (7.47%) due to the Vanke onshore debt maturity extension talks at year - end [4][5][6]. - Chinese IG bonds performed marginally stronger than HY bonds. The decline in sub - 10 - year US Treasury yields supported Chinese IG bonds, and their spread tightening outpaced that of HY bonds [4][15][24]. - The issuance volume in the Chinese USD bond primary market rebounded in 2025, but the net issuance was still deeply negative due to large - scale maturities, redemptions, and buybacks [4][39][40]. Summaries by Related Catalogs Performance Analysis - Chinese corporate bonds had a total return of 6.87% in 2025, lower than the 7.47% of the Asia ex - Japan corporate bond index and 7.75% of the iBoxx Global USD Corporate Bond Index [5][6]. - The iBoxx USD China IG Index posted a 6.87% total return, outperforming Chinese HY bonds but trailing the 7.51% return of the Asia ex - Japan IG index. Chinese HY bonds had a 6.70% return, significantly below the 9.38% of the Asia ex - Japan USD HY index [7][10][14]. Market Analysis - In 2025, the decline in sub - 10 - year US Treasury yields supported Chinese IG bonds. The Fed cut rates in September, October, and December and restarted balance - sheet expansion in December [15][19]. - By year - end, 2 - year, 5 - year, and 10 - year Treasury yields declined by 77bps, 66bps, and 40bps respectively, while the 30 - year yield edged up 6bps, steepening the yield curve [16][19]. - In 2026, the actual number of Fed rate cuts may exceed expectations due to a potentially more dovish voting committee [17][19]. Spread Analysis - Chinese IG bond spreads tightened by 24bps to 47bps in 2025, driven by negative net issuance and strong investor demand. Chinese HY bond spreads tightened by 16bps [24][25][28]. High - Yield Financing Environment - Some HY industrial and property developers returned to the primary market in 2025 with over - subscriptions, but Vanke's onshore bond extension affected other HY property developers' offshore refinancing [30][33]. - The government focused on stabilizing the property market. Developers' operations continued to diverge, and the sector was in a bottoming - out phase. Quality SOE and central SOE property bonds are preferred [31][33]. - Chinese developers' default resolution and restructuring deepened, and creditors shifted focus to more sophisticated claims protection [32][33]. Sector Performance - In IG, tech, property, and AMC bonds had returns over 8% as spreads narrowed. Central SOE perpetual and bank senior bonds had lower returns. In non - defaulting HY, HY industrial bonds had 15.9% returns, and HY property bonds had 8.8% returns despite the Vanke incident. Bank AT1 bonds underperformed with 5.5% returns [37][41]. - In the broader Asia ex - Japan credit market, bank, basic materials, and consumer services sectors had total returns above 8% [38][41].

Net issuance was deeply negative due to US$155.5bn of maturities, redemptions, and buybacks [4][39][42]. - Chinese issuers' activity in the Asia ex - Japan USD bond market increased slightly, accounting for 47% of total issuance volume compared to 43% in 2024. Non - Chinese Asia ex - Japan issuers' issuance volume grew 7.6% to US$116.4bn [40][42]. - Monthly issuance peaks were in February, May, September, and November, supported by financial and sovereign issuers. IG non - financial corporates' issuance was sensitive to USD interest rates. Rated HY bond volume increased, with non - property issuers dominant. Unrated bonds mainly came from LGFVs, small - scale leasing companies, and property restructuring [44][46]. - In 2025, issuance was mainly under 4 years (76.3%), but demand for longer - term funding emerged. The industrial sector became the largest issuer group (41%), overtaking the financial sector (32.7%). Property sector issuance was 22.4%, mainly for debt restructuring. LGFV issuance decreased to 29.8%. SOEs dominated new issuance (72%), and non - SOE issuers' proportion rose to 28% [45][47].
