Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market continued its recovery this week, with most interest rates declining to varying degrees, especially short - term and credit interest rates. The short - term interest rate's further downward breakthrough momentum is weak, and the bond market may experience short - term phased oscillations, with the subsequent interest rate more likely to break through downward [1][4] - Although other markets and some policies have short - term impacts on the bond market, the continuous loosening of funds provides protection, and the overall pattern of asset shortage in the bond market remains unchanged [2][3][4] Group 3: Summary by Related Content Bond Market Current Situation - This week, the bond market continued its recovery, with short - term and credit interest rates declining more significantly. The 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit rate dropped 1.8bps to 1.62%, and the 1 - year and 5 - year AAA - secondary capital bonds decreased by 2.7bps and 0.7bps respectively. The 10 - year Treasury bond rate fell 1.7bps to 1.69%, while the 30 - year Treasury bond rate rose slightly by 1.1bps to 1.96%. The 10 - year Treasury bond rate has recovered most of its decline from the impact of the stock and commodity markets [1][8] Factors Restraining the Downward Breakthrough of Interest Rates - Other markets still suppress the bond market sentiment. The recent strong performance of the stock market affects the bond market sentiment, especially long - term bonds. The 30 - year Treasury bond has been weak recently due to this factor [2][9] - Institutional caution and the implementation of some growth - stabilizing policies will short - term constrain the bullish forces. In the second quarter of this year, the duration of funds increased significantly, and high positions made institutions operate more cautiously. The relaxation of purchase restrictions in Beijing may also affect the downward force of interest rates [2][11] Factors Protecting the Bond Market - The continuous loosening of funds provides market protection, making it difficult for interest rates to rise significantly. The overnight interest rate is around 1.3%, and R007 is around 1.4%, protecting the overall market. During the market recovery since July 29, short - term interest rates have declined more significantly [3][11] - In the future, funds will remain loose. Financing demand may continue to slow down, government bond supply will decrease, and fund supply is sufficient. The central bank has stated that it will maintain ample liquidity [3][12] Future Outlook for the Bond Market - The bond market may experience short - term phased oscillations. As the fundamentals and asset supply - demand change, the interest rate is more likely to break through downward. From the fundamental perspective, low interest rates are needed to boost domestic demand, and from the asset supply - demand perspective, the decrease in asset supply and continuous loosening of funds will increase the pressure of asset shortage [4][13] - After the phased cooling of the stock and commodity markets, the 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bonds may oscillate when approaching the pre - adjustment levels of 1.65% and 1.85%. Subsequently, as the fundamentals change and the asset shortage evolves, the interest rate may break through downward, more likely near or in the fourth quarter [4][18]

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%. The month - on - month growth rate was 0.4%, an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous month. 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].
