EBSCN· 2026-01-06 05:58
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Prudent control of the scale of bond net - buying is the most appropriate approach at the initial stage of restarting bond purchases to avoid the superposition and resonance of the two channels affecting bond yields [1][3] - The ideal state is that investors treat information on treasury bond trading operations like daily open - market reverse repurchase operations, and the central bank can flexibly use open - market treasury bond trading tools to inject base money and adjust bank - system liquidity without overly affecting bond yields [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Why did the central bank only purchase 50 billion yuan of treasury bonds? - On January 5, 2026, the People's Bank of China announced the liquidity injection situation of the central bank's various tools in December 2025, showing a net liquidity injection of 50 billion yuan through open - market treasury bond trading tools. Compared with the monthly net purchases of 100 - 300 billion yuan from August to December 2024, the monthly net purchases of 20 - 50 billion yuan since the restart of treasury bond trading in October 2025 are relatively small. Prudent control of the purchase scale is appropriate in the initial months after restarting bond purchases [1] Impact of open - market treasury bond trading on bond yields - Open - market treasury bond trading affects bond yields through two channels. The asset - liability - sheet channel is that the central bank's trading of treasury bonds changes market supply - and - demand relations, and the expected channel is that investors trade on the information of the central bank's treasury bond trading, increasing the volatility of bond yields. The decline in yields largely comes from the expected channel [2] Measures to suppress the impact of the expected channel - The way to suppress the second channel is to dilute investors' attention to the central bank's bond purchases and weaken the relationship between the central bank's bond purchases and yields. At the beginning of restarting bond purchases, it is necessary to control the scale of bond net purchases to avoid the superposition of the two channels. When the market no longer overly focuses on the central bank's bond - purchase scale, the central bank can gradually increase the scale [3]

EBSCN· 2026-01-05 07:05
1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Beijing optimized and adjusted housing purchase restriction policies, and "Qiushi" emphasized that real - estate policies should not adopt a piecemeal approach. The continuous introduction of real - estate policies further supports demand, and the pace of subsequent policy introduction may accelerate. Although the new construction of the real - estate chain still faces multiple pressures, the industry bottom is approaching as the base gradually decreases. Sales data (new + second - hand houses) remains the leading indicator for driving the sector's valuation [3][7]. - Anti - involution is the main line for cyclical products. In the new field, attention should be paid to electronic cloth, clean rooms, and commercial aerospace. For the cement and glass industries, the effective reduction of supply is the key point to observe in the next stage. The glass fiber sector has relatively good profitability, and there is a possibility of a staged price increase. In the new field, the high - growth of the AI supply chain in 26H1 is the most certain direction, and the semiconductor/storage capital expenditure at home and abroad drives the performance and valuation of the clean - room sector. The theme investment in commercial aerospace is constantly catalyzed [4][8]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Anti - involution is the Main Line for Cyclical Products, and Attention is Paid to Electronic Cloth, Clean Rooms, and Commercial Aerospace in the New Field - **Real - estate Policy**: On December 24, 2025, Beijing optimized real - estate policies, including relaxing the conditions for non - Beijing households to purchase houses, supporting the housing needs of multi - child families, optimizing personal housing credit policies, and adjusting the project approval method for real - estate development. On January 1, 2026, "Qiushi" proposed that policies should be sufficient at one time to avoid a game between the market and policies [3][7]. - **Cyclical Products**: For the cement and glass industries, with demand declining, the effective reduction of supply is crucial. Currently, the average profitability of the cement and float glass industries has fallen below the break - even line. The cold - repair reduction of glass production capacity in Q1 will determine the price recovery space of float glass from March to April. The glass fiber sector has relatively good profitability, with stable demand growth and potential for staged price increases [4][8]. - **New Fields**: The high - growth of the AI supply chain in 26H1 is the most certain direction. Special electronic cloth has high demand elasticity and limited short - term supply, so its price is elastic. The increasing semiconductor/storage capital expenditure at home and abroad drives the performance and valuation of the clean - room sector. The theme investment in commercial aerospace is constantly catalyzed [4][8]. 3.2 Profit Forecast and Valuation of Main Covered Companies The report provides the profit forecast, valuation, and investment ratings of 28 companies from 2024 to 2027, including Punaite, China Jushi, and Conch Cement. Most of the investment ratings are "Buy" or "Increase", and all ratings remain unchanged [10]. 3.3 Weekly Market Review - **Industry Index**: The construction index, building materials index, etc. had different changes. The construction index decreased by 1.4%, and the building materials index decreased by 0.6% [13]. - **Sub - sectors of Construction**: The building decoration II index increased by 9.33%, and the garden engineering index increased by 1.92%, while some sub - sectors had negative growth [15]. - **Infrastructure Public REITs**: The report provides the weekly, monthly, and annual - to - date price changes of 70 infrastructure public REITs. The average weekly decline was 0.47%, and the average annual - to - date increase was 9.29% [23][24][25]. 3.4 Aggregate Data Tracking - **Real - estate Data**: It includes the cumulative year - on - year changes in real - estate new construction, construction, completion, and sales areas, land transaction data, real - estate transaction data, social financing data, and infrastructure investment growth rates [28][37][47]. - **New Contracts of Eight Major Construction Central Enterprises**: The report shows the quarterly new contract amounts and year - on - year growth rates of eight major construction central enterprises from 2022Q1 to 2025Q3 [73]. - **Special Bond Issuance**: It shows the monthly and cumulative issuance amounts of new and replacement special bonds from 2022 to 2025 [75][77]. 3.5 High - frequency Data Tracking - **Building Materials Data**: It includes the price trends, cost - profit differences, inventory, and other data of cement, float glass, photovoltaic glass, glass fiber, carbon fiber, magnesium sand, alumina, and other building materials [83][90][98]. - **Upstream Raw Material Prices**: It shows the price trends of asphalt, waste paper, PVC, HDPE, etc. [137][138]. - **Physical Workload Data**: It includes the price trends of acrylic acid, titanium dioxide, and the rental rate of high - altitude machines, asphalt average start - up rate, etc. [144][147].
