1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In February 2026, the central bank slowed down its bond - buying pace and lowered the forward foreign exchange sales risk reserve ratio. The overall liquidity in February was stable during the Spring Festival, and the capital performance before the Spring Festival was more stable under the central bank's active support. The capital gap in March is not significant, and the central bank is expected to maintain a relatively active investment state [1][3][4]. - The impact of exchange - rate appreciation on liquidity is basically offset. The central bank's reduction of the forward foreign exchange sales risk reserve ratio to 0% will help ease the RMB appreciation rate. The inter - bank self - regulatory supervision may be further refined, and in the short term, some banks may use certificates of deposit to undertake, which is beneficial for banks to reduce liability costs in the long term [5][74][78]. 3. Summary by Directory 2.1 February Capital and Liquidity Review: Stable across the Spring Festival 2.1.1 Capital Review: Narrow - range Fluctuation of Capital - In February 2026, the overnight capital fluctuation range narrowed compared with the previous month, and the 7D capital fluctuation range slightly expanded. The overnight capital fluctuated within a range of 0.12%, and the 7D capital basically ran stably between 1.45% - 1.55%. There was no inversion between overnight and 7D capital this month [12]. - At the beginning of the month, 70 billion yuan of 3M repurchase expired, and the central bank over - renewed 10 billion yuan. From February 5th to 12th, the central bank injected 1.4 trillion yuan of short - term funds through 14 - day reverse repurchase. On the 13th, the central bank over - renewed 50 billion yuan of 6M repurchase. Affected by factors such as pre - holiday cash withdrawal, government bond issuance, and new share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange, the capital price fluctuated briefly, with DR007 rising to 1.55%. By the end of the month, the capital market remained stable [13]. - The capital stratification pressure in February was at a seasonal low. The volatility of the spread between R007 and DR007 during the Spring Festival was smoothed out, and the spread between GC007 and DR007 rose from about 5bp at the beginning of the month to 10bp at the end of the month, both at seasonal lows [20]. - The volatility of overnight and 7D capital was at a seasonal low. The daily average trading volume of inter - bank pledged repurchase in February decreased compared with the previous month, with a monthly total of about 117 trillion yuan. The net lending scale of banks decreased, and the net lending scale of money market funds was relatively low [26][27][30]. 2.1.2 Liquidity Review: Temporary Consumption of Liquidity by Government Bond Payment and Spring Festival Cash Withdrawal - **Liquidity Aggregate**: In February, the base money increased by about 63 billion yuan. The government deposit consumed about 24 billion yuan of base money, the central bank's net investment was 82.19 billion yuan, and foreign exchange funds had a net investment of 5 billion yuan. After considering factors such as reserve freezing, cash withdrawal, and non - financial institution deposit changes, the excess reserve at the end of the month decreased by about 500 billion yuan, and the excess reserve ratio was about 0.93%, at a seasonal low. The narrow - sense excess reserve level after deducting reverse repurchase was about 0.37%, close to the seasonal level [32]. - **Open - market Operations**: In February, the central bank slightly withdrew short - term reverse repurchase in the open market, with a net investment of - 12.05 billion yuan and a reverse repurchase balance of 164 billion yuan at the end of the month, at a seasonal neutral level. The MLF investment was 60 billion yuan, with 30 billion yuan due, and the MLF balance was 7.25 trillion yuan. The net investment of 3M and 6M repurchase was 60 billion yuan, with a balance of 7.4 trillion yuan. The central bank's net purchase of government bonds was 5 billion yuan, 5 billion yuan less than the previous month. Other tools included a 15 - billion - yuan treasury time - deposit operation, with 15 billion yuan due, and PSL and other structural tools had an investment of 0 billion yuan and - 7.6 billion yuan respectively [34][40][43]. 2.2 February Monetary Policy Tracking: Slower Bond - buying Pace by the Central Bank and Lowered Forward Foreign Exchange Sales Risk Reserve Ratio - The central bank's bond - buying scale in February decreased to about 5 billion yuan, slightly lower than market expectations. The 10 - year government bond yield was relatively low, and the decrease in the central bank's bond - buying volume may reflect a relatively cautious attitude [50]. - The fourth - quarter monetary policy meeting in 2025 continued the moderately loose tone, with relatively limited incremental information. The central bank emphasized guiding short - term interest rates to operate around policy rates. The central bank decided to lower the forward foreign exchange sales risk reserve ratio from 20% to 0% starting from March 2nd to ease the RMB appreciation expectation [49][54]. 2.3 March Gap Prediction: Limited Capital Gap Pressure 2.3.1 Rigid Gap: Slight Consumption of Excess Reserves by Reserve Requirements and Slight Recovery of 3M Repurchase - In March, as it is a large - deposit month, the increase in general deposits will consume about 44 billion yuan of excess reserves. The MLF due amount is 45 billion yuan, slightly larger than the previous month. The total due amount of repurchase in March is 1.6 trillion yuan, including 1 trillion yuan for 3M and 600 billion yuan for 6M. Currently, 80 billion yuan of 3M repurchase has been renewed [58]. 2.3.2 Exogenous Shocks: Post - holiday Return of Cash Withdrawal and Non - financial Institution Deposits - Referring to previous years with a late Spring Festival, the "currency issuance" item in the central bank's statement may supplement about 44.07 billion yuan of excess reserves in March. The non - financial institution deposits may also supplement about 10.55 billion yuan of excess reserves [63]. 2.3.3 Fiscal Factors: Limited Government Bond Issuance and Season - end Fiscal Expenditure as a Benefit - Considering factors such as bond payment, tax revenue, and fiscal expenditure, the government deposit is expected to supplement about 64.15 billion yuan of liquidity in March [64]. 2.3.4 Comprehensive Judgment: Limited Season - end Liquidity Pressure - Overall, the capital gap in March is not significant. The main pressures come from quarter - end reserve requirements and tool maturities. Considering the central bank's current operation ideas, it is expected to maintain a relatively active investment state, and the capital pressure is limited [67]. 2.4 Other Factors - The impact of exchange - rate appreciation on liquidity is basically offset. The increase in market settlement demand leads to an increase in RMB deposits, and the reserve requirements freeze about 74.4 billion yuan of liquidity. However, the central bank's foreign exchange funds increased by 5 billion yuan in January, which basically offsets the impact on narrow - sense liquidity [5][72]. - The central bank's reduction of the forward foreign exchange sales risk reserve ratio to 0% will help ease the RMB appreciation rate. The inter - bank self - regulatory supervision may be further refined. If high - interest inter - bank deposits are reduced, banks may use certificates of deposit as a substitute. If the supply demand for certificates of deposit increases in March, the pricing may be slightly adjusted upwards, but the adjustment range is relatively controllable [74][78].

Core Conclusions - The government work report continues the previous "dual expansion" monetary and fiscal policy framework, creating a favorable macroeconomic environment for the stock market to maintain its upward trend. The economic growth target for 2026 is set at 4.5%-5%, which is more pragmatic; the fiscal policy is "more proactive" with an increased deficit scale: a deficit rate of 4%, with a deficit size of 5.9 trillion yuan, an increase of 230 billion yuan from the previous year; the monetary policy is "moderately loose," providing space for reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate reductions to create liquidity easing [3][25]. - Greater expectations are placed on the performance of listed companies in 2026. The report explicitly states the goal of "promoting the overall price level from negative to positive, with consumer prices reasonably and moderately rebounding." The monetary policy also emphasizes "promoting stable economic growth and reasonable price recovery as important considerations." A 4% deficit rate and a 5.9 trillion yuan fiscal deficit imply an expected nominal GDP growth rate of about 5%, suggesting a potential rebound in the GDP deflator to 0-0.5%. The return of inflation is expected to drive up the performance of listed companies, thereby digesting the currently relatively high static valuations, shifting the stock market's main logic from liquidity-driven financial re-inflation in the first half to EPS-driven physical re-inflation in the second half [3][25]. - Focus on cyclical and technological innovation sectors. 1) Cyclical: Major engineering projects during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and fiscal policies are expected to provide new demand support for cyclical assets, with performance likely to continue improving under tight supply constraints. 2) Technological innovation: The 2026 government work tasks explicitly propose to develop emerging pillar industries such as integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, and low-altitude economy; cultivate future industries like future energy, quantum technology, embodied intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and 6G, which are expected to enhance the risk appetite for technological innovation [3][25]. Theme Word Frequency Distribution - From 2010 to 2026, the government work reports show a shift from "macroeconomic layout" to "precise policies and support," with "investment" and "support" gaining significant weight, becoming core to most themes. The term "high quality" runs through various fields, indicating a deepening of development requirements from "quantity" to "quality." The frequency of terms like "safety, governance, employment, and security" highlights a stronger emphasis on bottom-line guarantees and people's livelihood concerns while promoting development [4][7]. Policy Strength Analysis - In 2026, the policy strength score for "economic situation judgment" and "expanding domestic demand" themes remains stable compared to last year, reflecting the continuity of previous policies aimed at stabilizing growth and expanding domestic demand. The themes of "macroeconomic policy" and "opening up" also generally follow previous trends [14][19]. - The policy strength score for "risk prevention" is the only theme that saw both an increase in strength and a rise in its share of the report, indicating a growing concern for the health of the capital market and its sustainable development [19][20]. AI Interpretation of Government Work Report: 2026 Economic and Social Development Overall Requirements and Policy Orientation - The report emphasizes that 2026 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan," with the core of government work being to adhere to the work guideline of seeking progress while maintaining stability, fully implementing the new development concept, and accelerating the construction of a new development pattern. The focus is on promoting high-quality development through more proactive macro policies, enhancing policy coordination, and continuously expanding domestic demand [26]. - The main expected targets for 2026 include an economic growth target of 4.5%-5%, a target urban survey unemployment rate of around 5.5%, and a target consumer price increase of about 2%, aiming to promote a positive turnaround in prices. Other key targets include a grain output of around 1.4 trillion jin and a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by about 3.8% [26][27]. 2026 Government Work Tasks - The core task is to coordinate the promotion of consumption and investment. On the consumption side, special actions to boost consumption will be implemented, including a special fund to support the replacement of consumer goods. On the investment side, the focus will be on new quality productivity and major projects, with specific funding allocated to stimulate private investment [27]. - The report emphasizes the need to develop new quality productivity tailored to local conditions, support the upgrading of traditional industries, and cultivate emerging and future industries, including integrated circuits and quantum technology [27]. - The report also highlights the importance of enhancing independent innovation capabilities, strengthening original innovation and key core technology breakthroughs, and promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation [27].

Group 1: Key Changes in Bond Market - 2025 is identified as a turning point for bond assets, shifting from strong to weak due to three main factors[1] - The first factor is the transition of residents' investable assets from "contraction" to "expansion," which reduces the attractiveness of fixed-income assets[1] - The second factor is the improvement in economic circulation, leading to upward pressure on bond yields as corporate cash flow improves and deposit growth increases[1] - The third factor is the change in monetary policy stance, with a shift from a focus on quantity to a focus on structure, limiting the bullish outlook for bonds[1] Group 2: Investable Assets and Economic Impact - Since 2018, residents' investable assets have been in a "contraction" phase, leading to a preference for risk-free government bonds[1] - In 2025, the expansion of investable assets is driven by technological breakthroughs and stable stock market policies, encouraging risk-taking for higher returns[1] - The distribution of deposits is crucial for economic circulation; when deposits move from residents to enterprises, it enhances economic activity[8] - The ratio of new deposits to M2 has significantly decreased, indicating that less money is being locked in residents' accounts and more is flowing into the real economy[8] Group 3: Monetary Policy and Future Outlook - The monetary policy framework is expected to remain moderately accommodative, but the likelihood of a return to unconventional easing is decreasing[12] - Historical data suggests that significant interest rate cuts typically occur during periods of negative profit growth, which is less likely as profit expectations improve[12] - The shift in economic structure, with new economy sectors surpassing old economy sectors, reduces the necessity for aggressive monetary policy interventions[12]

Group 1: Impact of Oil Prices on China's Inflation - A 10% increase in oil prices is estimated to raise China's PPI by approximately 0.3-0.4 percentage points[2] - The oil chain industry, which includes oil and gas extraction and refining, contributes about 12% to the overall PPI, leading to a 10% oil price increase potentially raising PPI by about 0.36 percentage points[10] - A 10% rise in oil prices is expected to increase China's CPI by around 0.14 percentage points, with refined oil prices rising by approximately 3.9%[15] Group 2: Impact of Oil Prices on U.S. Inflation - A 10% increase in oil prices is projected to raise U.S. CPI by about 0.15 percentage points, with gasoline prices increasing by approximately 5.2%[20] - Gasoline accounts for about 3% of the U.S. CPI, thus a 10% rise in oil prices translates to a 0.15 percentage point increase in CPI[20] - Mainstream research indicates that short-term oil price shocks have limited lasting effects on U.S. inflation, lacking significant second-round effects[21] Group 3: Scenarios for Oil Price Trends and Inflation - If oil prices drop to $65 per barrel, China's CPI is expected to stabilize around 0.9% and PPI around -0.1%[26] - If oil prices remain at $80 per barrel, China's CPI could rise to approximately 1.1% and PPI to about 0.5%[26] - Should oil prices surge to $108 per barrel, China's CPI may reach around 1.6% and PPI approximately 1.5%[26] Group 4: U.S. CPI Predictions Based on Oil Prices - If oil prices fall to $65 per barrel, U.S. CPI is projected to be about 2.8%[31] - If oil prices stabilize at $80 per barrel, U.S. CPI could increase to around 3%[31] - A rise to $108 per barrel may push U.S. CPI to approximately 3.5%[31]
