Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Current price data remains weak, and domestic demand recovery is limited after excluding seasonal summer effects. The increase in July's core CPI is mainly supported by the summer travel boom and high gold prices. The divergence between PPI production and living materials shows that the policy effects of the national unified market construction are concentrated in upstream industries, and the ineffective recovery of domestic demand restricts PPI's year - on - year recovery. The sustainability of the industrial price increase and its price transmission to downstream industries depend on the improvement of terminal demand. Given the uncertainty in the trade environment, a loose monetary environment is needed to stabilize domestic demand [4][29]. - After the implementation of the VAT policy, the bond market adjustment is limited. With relatively loose funds, the central bank's net injection of 300 billion yuan in 3 - month repurchase agreements on the 8th may help the market recovery. The first - stage interest rate will return to the pre - adjustment level. Whether it can break through the previous low depends on other market performances and fundamental pressures. The recent rise in commodities and the stock market is mainly based on expectations, and the unchanged year - on - year decline in July's PPI indicates slowing demand. For the bond market, the overall pattern of asset shortage remains unchanged. It is expected that the yields of 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds may return to around 1.65% and 1.85% in the short term, and may break through the previous low if other markets rise moderately and demand continues to slow [5][30]. Summary by Related Catalogs CPI Analysis - **Overall CPI Situation**: In July, CPI continued to be low, with the year - on - year growth rate slowing down by 0.1 percentage points to 0%.

Core CPI increased by 0.8% year - on - year, an increase of 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, and 0.4% month - on - month. The growth of core CPI was mainly due to the summer travel demand and high gold prices. After excluding the "other goods and services" item affected by gold prices, the overall price level was still weak [1][2]. - **Non - food CPI**: In July, non - food CPI increased by 0.3% year - on - year, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from the previous month, and 0.5% month - on - month. The rise in summer service prices was the main reason, with service prices increasing by 0.6% month - on - month, contributing more than 60% to the CPI increase [2]. - **Food CPI**: In July, food CPI decreased by 1.6% year - on - year, with the decline expanding by 1.3 percentage points from the previous month, and decreased by 0.2% month - on - month, with the decline narrowing by 0.2 percentage points. The year - on - year decline in pork prices was the main reason for the expanding decline in food CPI. Affected by high - temperature and rainy weather, the prices of fresh vegetables and aquatic products increased month - on - month [13]. PPI Analysis - **Overall PPI Situation**: In July, PPI showed a lagging performance, with a year - on - year decline of 3.6%, the same as the previous month. The decline in the year - on - year and month - on - month production materials PPI narrowed slightly. The prices of most domestic manufacturing raw materials decreased month - on - month, mainly affected by seasonal factors and international trade uncertainties. The prices of industries with high export proportions were under increasing downward pressure, but the month - on - month decline in many industries' prices converged under the influence of the national unified market construction [1][3][23]. - **Production and Living Materials PPI**: In July, the production materials PPI decreased by 4.3% year - on - year, with the decline narrowing by 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, and decreased by 0.2% month - on - month, with the decline narrowing by 0.4 percentage points. The living materials PPI decreased by 1.6% year - on - year, with the decline expanding by 0.2 percentage points from the previous month [23][24]. Bond Market Analysis - After the implementation of the VAT policy, the bond market adjustment was limited. With relatively loose funds, the central bank's net injection of 300 billion yuan in 3 - month repurchase agreements on the 8th may help the market recovery. The first - stage interest rate will return to the pre - adjustment level. The recent rise in commodities and the stock market was mainly based on expectations, and the unchanged year - on - year decline in July's PPI indicated slowing demand. For the bond market, the overall pattern of asset shortage remained unchanged. It is expected that the yields of 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds may return to around 1.65% and 1.85% in the short term, and may break through the previous low if other markets rise moderately and demand continues to slow [5][30].
