Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Volume-Price Fingerprint Model **Model Construction Idea**: Inspired by large language models, the volume-price fingerprint model treats market transaction data as a special "language" and uses self-supervised learning to extract semantic features from intraday volume-price behavior [1][8][9] **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Minute-level Feature Preprocessing**: Select 32 dimensions of minute-level features, including price features (e.g., high, low, close, price position) and transaction features (e.g., turnover, order cancellation, fund flow). Standardize these features to eliminate dimensional and historical volatility effects [1][16][17] - Price feature standardization formula: $$\tilde{p}_{t,d}=\frac{p_{t,d}}{p_{\mathrm{open}}}-1$$ [16] - Transaction feature standardization formula: $${\tilde{f}}_{t,d}={\frac{f_{t,d}}{S_{d}}},\quad S_{d}={\frac{1}{N_{\mathrm{hist}}}}\sum_{i=1}^{N_{\mathrm{hist}}}\sum_{t=1}^{T}f_{t,d}^{(i)}$$ [17] 2. **Dual-task Self-supervised Learning Framework**: - **Forward Causal Prediction Task**: Predict price features causally using past transaction and price information. A triangular attention mask ensures strict causality [18][21] - **Backward Feature Reconstruction Task**: Randomly mask transaction features and reconstruct them using global sequence information [18][22] 3. **Anti-collapse Regularization**: Introduce diversity, orthogonality, and uniformity regularization terms to ensure high differentiation, low redundancy, and rich information in fingerprint vectors [1][43][44][46] - Total loss function: $${\mathcal{L}}_{\mathrm{total}}=\lambda_{f}{\mathcal{L}}_{\mathrm{forward}}+\lambda_{b}{\mathcal{L}}_{\mathrm{backward}}+{\mathcal{L}}_{\mathrm{diversity}}+{\mathcal{L}}_{\mathrm{orthogonality}}+{\mathcal{L}}_{\mathrm{uniformity}}$$ [47] **Model Evaluation**: The model provides a structured representation of market dynamics, capturing semantic features beyond traditional numerical predictions [1][9][14] - **Model Name**: GRU Model with Volume-Price Fingerprint **Model Construction Idea**: Use GRU to predict future stock returns based on volume-price fingerprint features [2][50][51] **Model Construction Process**: 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the document. 2. Core View of the Report - The structural monetary policy remains the main focus. The central bank has cut the interest rates of various structural monetary policy tools by 0.25 percentage points and increased the scale of structural tools. The bond market is expected to gradually recover as the structural interest rate cut may open up the space for interest rate decline [2][6][9][19]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Central Bank's Monetary Policy Direction - **Structural Monetary Policy**: The central bank has cut the interest rates of various structural monetary policy tools by 0.25 percentage points, such as reducing the one - year re - loan interest rate from 1.5% to 1.25%. It has also increased the scale of structural tools, adding 500 billion yuan of agricultural and small - business re - loans and raising the science and technology innovation and technological transformation re - loans from 800 billion yuan to 1.2 trillion yuan [2][9]. - **Interest Rate and Reserve Requirement Ratio Adjustment**: There is room for interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratio cuts, and they will be used flexibly and efficiently according to the actual situation. If there are unexpected risk events or macro - policy changes that require interest rate cuts, the central bank will implement them efficiently [3][10]. - **Bond - buying Operation**: The central bank will dynamically adjust the bond - buying scale according to market conditions to prevent sharp market fluctuations. It is estimated that the monthly bond - buying scale may be maintained at several billion yuan [3][10]. - **Price and Exchange Rate**: The central bank is optimistic about prices, believing that the current price decline is mainly due to cyclical factors, while prices in some industries are rising. The exchange rate is expected to remain stable at a reasonable level, with limited risk of rapid appreciation [4][11]. 3.2 December 2025 Financial Data - **Credit**: In December 2025, new social financing was 2.2 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 646.2 billion yuan.

Corporate credit increased by 107 billion yuan, with short - term and medium - to - long - term loans showing significant increases. However, compared with December 2023, the medium - to - long - term corporate loans decreased by 531.2 billion yuan. Resident loans have been negative for three consecutive months, and the year - on - year increase has been decreasing for six consecutive months, which is in line with the slowdown in real estate sales [5][12][13]. - **Money Supply**: In December 2025, the year - on - year growth rate of M1 continued to decline by 1.1 percentage points to 3.8%, while the year - on - year growth rate of M2 was 8.5%, an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous month. The increase in deposits was mainly due to the significant reduction in the year - on - year decrease of non - bank deposits, which was caused by the low base after the implementation of the inter - bank deposit self - regulatory mechanism last year [6][15][17]. 3.3 Bond Market Outlook - The bond market has been fluctuating recently. With the expectation of an overall interest rate cut, the adjustment space is limited. After January 15, the central bank cut the interest rates of various structural monetary policy tools by 0.25 percentage points. With the increase in bond interest rates, the relative cost - effectiveness of bonds has improved, and the bond market is expected to recover under the expectation of monetary easing [6][19].
