Investment Rating - The industry rating is "Outperform the Market" (maintained rating) [6] Core Viewpoints - The divergence between domestic power generation and industrial added value growth since 2025 is primarily due to a significant slowdown in electricity consumption growth in the secondary industry, particularly in the mid-to-lower reaches of the equipment manufacturing and downstream consumer goods sectors [2][40] - The current power generation growth slowdown is linked to reduced energy consumption and low operating rates in certain sub-sectors, while industrial added value continues to grow rapidly, supported by the relative high prosperity of large enterprises [2][3] - Historical comparisons indicate that the divergence between power generation and industrial added value growth has occurred multiple times in the past, with the need for capacity clearance and profit improvement to narrow the gap [3] Summary by Sections Section 1: Power Generation and Industrial Added Value Divergence - Since 2025, the cumulative year-on-year growth of domestic power generation is +0.8%, compared to +5.2% in the same period of 2024, indicating a significant decline in growth [27] - The divergence has been observed in four distinct periods over the past 20 years, with the most recent being influenced by external shocks such as financial crises and pandemics [28][30] Section 2: Factors Influencing Power Generation and Industrial Added Value - The slowdown in electricity consumption growth in the secondary industry is a major factor contributing to the divergence, with a year-on-year growth of only +2.4% in the first half of 2025 [36][55] - The contribution rate of electricity consumption growth from the secondary industry has significantly decreased, indicating its role as a drag on overall electricity consumption growth [36] Section 3: Coal Supply and Demand Dynamics - The domestic coal supply-demand balance has been relatively loose since 2025, with power coal prices rebounding due to supply reductions from safety and environmental checks, as well as increased demand from high temperatures [4][13] - The report anticipates that the target price for power coal at ports may reach 700-750 RMB/ton by the end of the year, depending on the effectiveness of policy measures [4] Section 4: Historical Context and Future Outlook - The report draws parallels between the current situation and the period from 2012 to 2016, suggesting that a similar recovery in industrial profits and capacity utilization may be necessary to improve the current divergence [3][52] - The report emphasizes the importance of monitoring the performance of various sub-sectors within the secondary industry, particularly those with low energy consumption and operating rates, as they significantly impact overall electricity demand [47][52]

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - In August, liquidity has become a key factor in the bond market. The linkage between risky assets and the bond market has continued for some time, and in the medium - to long - term, the bond market is still priced based on fundamentals. Risky assets' strength is a short - term disturbance. If liquidity is stable, changes in funds flowing to risky assets are not the key to the bond market. An abundant liquidity environment is more likely to lead to a "double - bull" market for stocks and bonds. Attention should be paid to the central bank's operations, large banks' net lending levels, and the liability - side stability of bond funds and other broad - based funds [1][2]. - Although there are disturbances such as government bond supply, certificate of deposit (CD) maturities, and tax payments in August, there are also clear supporting factors. It is expected that the central bank will use various tools to maintain the stability of the money market, and the central level of money market rates will remain in a low - level volatile pattern, but special - time fluctuations need attention [4]. Summary by Directory 1. August: Liquidity Becomes a Key Factor in the Bond Market - Since July, the linkage between stocks, commodities, and bonds has attracted market attention. Liquidity plays a dual role in the stock - bond market linkage. Abundant liquidity benefits both markets, while changes in risk appetite and equity returns drive asset reallocation, causing some bond market funds to flow into stocks and commodities [1][8]. - In late July, high inter - bank liquidity demand and the rise of stocks and commodities suppressed the bond market. At the beginning of August, loose liquidity led to a "double - bull" market for stocks and bonds. From August 11 - 13, the relationship between stocks and bonds changed from a "seesaw" to a "double - bull" situation. On August 11, the central bank's large - scale net withdrawal in the open market and the strength of risky assets dragged down bond market sentiment. On August 13, the bond market showed resilience [1][8][9]. - In the second half of August, the bond market lacks a new narrative. Liquidity will continue to be crucial. The sustainability of risky assets' performance remains to be seen. If liquidity is stable, it won't be the key to the bond market. An abundant liquidity environment is more likely to lead to a "double - bull" market. Attention should be paid to the central bank's operations, large banks' net lending levels, and the liability - side stability of bond funds [2][14]. 2. July: Turbulence in the Money Market - In July, the money market had a "roller - coaster" ride, with funds loosening at the beginning, tightening in the middle, and then fluctuating again in the late stage. The central bank's operations were more targeted, with more precise and flexible liquidity injections [15]. - In terms of money prices, overnight money rates often ran below the policy rate but rose during tax payments and at the end of the month. The 7 - day money rate's central level declined, and the 7 - day money rate's stratification phenomenon was more prominent, while the overnight money rate's stratification was similar to the previous month [17]. - In terms of money quantity, the net lending of large state - owned banks decreased, while the lending of money market funds and wealth management products increased. The microstructure of money lending changed, increasing the volatility of overnight money rates [30]. - Factors affecting money supply and demand in July included precise and targeted open - market operations, government bond issuance (which decreased month - on - month but remained high year - on - year), high CD maturities with stable issuance prices, and a structural differentiation in credit in July after an unexpected increase in June [35][40][46]. 3. Current Concerns about the Money Market - Historically, August has a relatively low central level of money market rates in the second half of the year. In 2022 and 2023, there were large fluctuations at the end of August due to external policy variables [53]. - Currently, there are several concerns: high CD maturities above 3 trillion yuan in August, but banks' liability - side pressure is neutral, and the demand for price - increasing issuance is limited; continued government bond supply pressure, with the central bank likely to use various tools to maintain money market stability; and over 1.2 trillion yuan of medium - to long - term liquidity maturing in August, but a 70 - billion - yuan 3 - month buy - out reverse repurchase was carried out on August 8 [61][62][64]. - Although there are disturbances in August, there are also supporting factors such as seasonal factors and the central bank's support. It is expected that the central level of money market rates will remain low - level volatile, but attention should be paid to fluctuations at special times [66].
