During March 16 - 22, 2026, the net payment scale of government bonds increased, the yield to maturity of inter - bank certificates of deposit (CDs) declined, the net financing of inter - bank CDs was negative, and the average leverage ratio of the inter - bank bond market decreased slightly. From March 23 - 29, 2026, the expected net payment scale of government bonds is 566.4 billion yuan, and the maturity scale of inter - bank CDs is about 698.2 billion yuan. On March 20, 2026, the median durations of medium - long - term and short - term interest - rate style pure bond funds decreased by 0.23 years and 0.13 years respectively on a weekly basis [2]. Summary by Directory Fundamentals - During the tax - payment period, the central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchase had a small net injection. From March 16 - 20, 2026, the central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchase had an injection of 242.3 billion yuan and a withdrawal of 176.5 billion yuan, achieving a net injection of 65.8 billion yuan; the treasury cash fixed - term deposit had an injection of 180 billion yuan. The maturity scale of the Medium - term Lending Facility (MLF) in March is 450 billion yuan [6]. - The average fund interest rates decreased slightly on a weekly basis. From March 16 - 20, 2026, the average values of DR001 and R001 were 1.32% and 1.40% respectively, down 1.2 basis points and 0.2 basis points compared with March 9 - 13; the average values of DR007 and R007 were 1.43% and 1.49% respectively, down 2.3 basis points and 1.4 basis points compared with March 9 - 13 [6]. - The net financing scale of government bonds increased.

In March, with the net withdrawal of the central bank's outright reverse repurchase and the relatively small scale of 7 - day reverse repurchase injection, the fund interest rates still remained relatively stable, which may reflect that the liquidity of the current banking system is still relatively abundant. Also, from March 18, the 14 - day funds entered the cross - quarter range, but from the trend of the R014 fund interest rate, it only increased marginally by 6BP to 1.59% on March 18 and then declined steadily, which may also indicate that the pressure on the cross - quarter fund situation in March is limited. However, at the end of the quarter, attention should be paid to the possible phased increase in the volatility of fund interest rates. Specifically, first, the fund lending behavior of banks at the end of the quarter may be affected by the end - of - quarter assessment; second, the payment scale of government bonds from March 23 - 29 increased marginally, increasing the frictions on the fund situation; third, attention should be paid to the emotional disturbances on the fund situation caused by the MLF operation scale in March [8].

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the automotive and automotive parts industry is "Positive" and maintained [7] Core Insights - The rise in oil prices, influenced by the Middle East situation, has raised energy security concerns, prompting South Korea to initiate a resource security crisis alert and consider implementing vehicle restrictions [2][17] - The transportation sector accounts for a significant portion of oil consumption in many countries, and the current low penetration of new energy vehicles (NEVs) globally means that reliance on traditional fuel vehicles exacerbates risks associated with energy supply constraints. Diversifying the energy structure can mitigate these risks, and rising oil prices can accelerate the transition to NEVs in the global passenger vehicle market [2][19] - The potential for domestic NEVs to expand internationally is substantial, with projected sales for EVs, PHEVs, and HEVs in regions excluding China, the US, and Japan reaching 3.54 million, 1.4 million, and 4.62 million units respectively by 2025. If domestic NEVs capture 50%-60% of the market share in these categories, it could represent a growth potential of 4.3-5.3 times [23][24] Summary by Sections Global Energy Security Perspective - The recent increase in oil prices has raised energy security issues, with Brent crude oil futures reaching $108.65 per barrel, a 70% increase over the past two months. South Korea has raised its resource security crisis alert level and is considering measures such as vehicle restrictions to manage demand [17][19] New Energy Vehicle Market Potential - The transportation sector's oil consumption is significant, with many countries having low NEV penetration rates. High oil prices can drive the shift towards NEVs, as traditional fuel vehicles' dependence on oil resources increases risks associated with supply constraints [19][20] - Major regions for NEV exports from China include Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, where leading companies like BYD, SAIC, and Geely are currently underrepresented in market share. As NEV penetration increases, these companies are expected to capture a larger share of the market [26][29]
