Core Viewpoint - The major state-owned banks in China have completely stopped offering 5-year large denomination certificates of deposit (CDs), leading to a significant reduction in the availability of long-term deposit products in the market [1][2][6]. Group 1: Bank Actions - Six major state-owned banks, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications, and Postal Savings Bank of China, have ceased the sale of 5-year large denomination CDs [1][2]. - The remaining available terms for large denomination CDs have shifted to shorter durations, with the longest being 3 years, which has a rate of 1.55% [2][6]. - The trend of discontinuing long-term deposit products is not limited to national banks; local commercial banks and private banks are also following suit, as seen with the announcements from banks in Inner Mongolia [10][11]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The withdrawal of 5-year CDs is attributed to the current downward trend in interest rates, which discourages banks from offering higher rates for long-term deposits [10]. - There is a notable increase in the overall deposit scale due to high savings enthusiasm among residents, while the demand for loans remains weak, leading banks to be less inclined to attract long-term deposits [10]. - Many banks are also reducing deposit rates, with some institutions cutting rates by as much as 65 basis points, reflecting a broader strategy to optimize their liability structure under pressure from interest margins [10][11]. Group 3: Investor Sentiment - The reduction in long-term deposit products has created a dilemma for ordinary depositors, as they struggle to find stable investment options [11]. - A survey indicates a slight decline in the proportion of depositors preferring to save more, suggesting a shift in asset allocation strategies among investors in a low-interest-rate environment [11]. - Financial experts recommend that investors adjust their expectations for returns and consider diversifying their asset allocation to include cash management products, money market funds, and government bonds [11].

Core Viewpoint - A-shares have lower trading costs and better market liquidity compared to H-shares, with a current premium of about 20% for A-shares as indicated by the Hang Seng AH Premium Index (HSAHP) being above 120. However, certain companies like CATL have shown a reverse phenomenon where H-shares are priced higher than A-shares [2][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The phenomenon of H-shares trading at a premium over A-shares is attributed to the smaller market capitalization of H-shares compared to A-shares, leading to relative scarcity in liquidity [5]. - Among the six companies exhibiting this "inversion," three are newly listed, resulting in lower liquidity for H-shares, which can lead to inflated prices due to concentrated holdings by large institutions [5][6]. - As institutional investors gradually exit their positions, the liquidity of H-shares is expected to increase, potentially narrowing the premium of H-shares over A-shares [5]. Group 2: Characteristics of A-H Share Companies - Companies with inverted pricing typically share common traits: they are large enterprises with stable operating histories and solid financials, often in traditional industries like finance and energy [6]. - The valuation of these companies tends to be higher in the A-share market, reflecting differing expectations from overseas investors regarding future growth potential [6][8]. Group 3: Foreign Investment Preferences - Foreign investors prefer industry leaders that have a competitive edge in the market, which are often scarce in the international market [8]. - These leading companies usually possess strong brand recognition, stable profitability, and good governance structures, aligning with foreign investors' long-term investment criteria [8][9]. - The preference for H-shares over A-shares is also influenced by the perceived monopolistic characteristics of certain companies, which can lead to higher valuations in the H-share market [9].

Core Viewpoint - The phenomenon of "AH share premium inversion" is observed in six companies, where H-shares are priced higher than A-shares, attributed to low liquidity and foreign investors' preference for industry leaders [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The Heng Seng AH Share Premium Index (HSAHP) remains above 120, indicating a 20% premium of A-shares over H-shares [1]. - The six companies experiencing this inversion include CATL, China Merchants Bank, Hengrui Medicine, Weichai Power, WuXi AppTec, and Midea Group [2]. - The market sees a preference for newly listed stocks in the H-share market, which have lower liquidity, leading to higher valuations [2]. Group 2: Liquidity and New Listings - The "inversion" stocks are characterized by a high proportion of newly listed shares, with three of the six companies listed for less than a year [2]. - The market capitalization of H-shares is often significantly smaller than that of A-shares, contributing to the liquidity scarcity and price inversion [2]. - As institutional investors gradually exit their IPO allocations, the liquidity in the H-share market is expected to increase, potentially narrowing the premium [2]. Group 3: Foreign Investment Preferences - Foreign investors show a strong preference for industry leaders that have established market positions and stable financials [3][4]. - These companies typically operate in traditional sectors such as finance, energy, and infrastructure, which have predictable profit models [3]. - The preference for H-shares is also driven by the perception of higher growth potential and better governance structures in these companies [4]. Group 4: Examples of Inversion - BYD and China Merchants Bank are highlighted as typical examples of companies where H-shares occasionally exhibit a premium over A-shares [5]. - The presence of monopolistic characteristics in H-shares can attract foreign investment, as these companies are often seen as irreplaceable in the global market [5].
