1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Although the central bank is gradually downplaying quantitative targets and transitioning towards price - based tools, social financing and M2 are not decoupled from the bond market. The transformation takes time, and the central bank does not completely abandon quantitative targets. A decline in social financing is inherently favorable for the bond market. In 2026, the growth rate of social financing is expected to decline in a volatile manner, with the first and fourth quarters being relatively stable and the second and third quarters facing greater downward pressure. In particular, the disturbance of social financing to the bond market will significantly bottom out in the first quarter, so the bond market can be somewhat optimistic [2]. - The predicted growth rate of social financing in 2026 is 7.6%, corresponding to a new social financing of around 33.5 trillion yuan. The growth rate of M2 is expected to be around 7.1% [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Total Perspective on Social Financing and M2 in 2026 3.1.1 How to View the Growth Rates of Social Financing and M2 with the Downplaying of Quantity and Optimization of Intermediate Variables? - In November 2025, the central bank proposed to optimize intermediate variables of monetary policy and gradually downplay the focus on quantitative targets. This sets the tone for the adjustment of the intermediate target of monetary policy in 2026. The growth rate of financial aggregates will decline naturally due to the large base and the shift from high - speed to high - quality economic growth [10][13]. - Downplaying quantitative targets does not mean having no requirements for social financing and M2. The transformation of the intermediate target of monetary policy takes time, and in the short term, the central bank still adheres to the "basic matching" principle [15]. 3.1.2 What Changes are There in the "Basic Matching" Principle? - Reasons for setting the "basic matching" principle: It is conducive to cross - cycle policy design, stabilizing the monetary aggregate in the long term, providing a scientific "anchor" for macro - policies, guiding market expectations, and stabilizing the macro - leverage ratio [15]. - Understanding of "basic matching": It does not mean "exactly equal"; it requires comprehensive consideration of nominal economic growth, potential output, and economic growth targets; and it is a medium - to - long - term concept, not a short - term one [19]. - By taking annual data as an example, the years when the growth rates of social financing and M2 were mentioned as "basically matching" with the nominal GDP growth rate are 2018, 2019, and 2021. The annual intervals for the "basic matching" of the growth rate differences between social financing and nominal GDP and between M2 and nominal GDP are [- 0.2%, 3.2%] and [- 2.4%, 1.2%] respectively. When refined to quarters, the time periods when the central bank quantitatively mentioned "basic matching" cover the third quarter of 2018 to early 2020, 2021 - 2023 (related to the economic cycle), and 2024 (switched to "economic expected targets") [20][22][23]. 3.2 Forecast of Social Financing and M2 in 2026 3.2.1 Total Forecast - Based on the predicted nominal GDP growth rate of about 4.5% in 2026, referring to the "basic matching" principle, the predicted growth rate of social financing is around 7.6%, corresponding to a new social financing of around 33.5 trillion yuan. Considering the strong base effect of M2 in 2026, the growth rate of M2 is expected to be around 7.1% [26][27]. 3.2.2 Sub - item Analysis of Social Financing in 2026 - **Credit**: The new credit in 2026 is expected to be around 15.2 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of around 5.6%. The rhythm is expected to be high in the front and low in the back, and the structure will continue to focus on the "Five Major Articles" [30][31]. - **Government Bonds**: The net financing of government bonds in 2026 is expected to be around 15.5 trillion yuan. The issuance rhythm is expected to be balanced and front - loaded, with the possibility of an increase in the fourth quarter [34][35]. - **Corporate Bonds**: The net financing of corporate bonds in 2026 is expected to be around 1.7 trillion yuan, with a rhythm of low in the front and high in the back [40]. - **Other Items**: The net financing of off - balance - sheet items is expected to be around 0 trillion yuan, and the total of stock financing, credit write - offs, ABS, and foreign currency loans is expected to be around 1.1 trillion yuan, with a rhythm of low in the front and high in the back [41]. 3.2.3 Forecast of the Rhythm within the Year - The overall new social financing is 33.5 trillion yuan, corresponding to a stock growth rate of 7.6%. The rhythm of social financing and M2 is expected to be high in the front, low in the middle, and stable in the back. The predicted credit growth rates/ social financing growth rates/M2 growth rates for Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 are (6.3%/5.7%/5.8%/5.6%)/(8.1%/7.8%/7.6%/7.6%)/(7.6%/7.2%/6.8%/7.1%) [4][5]. 3.3 How to View Interest Rates When Social Financing is at a Low Level and Credit is Declining? - Currently, policies are downplaying the focus on financial aggregates, and the intermediate variables of monetary policy are shifting from quantitative to price - based tools [45]. - However, the relationship between social financing, M2, and interest rates does not change with monetary policy. A downward trend in social financing growth allows for moderate optimism in the bond market. The bond market is under less pressure in the first quarter [46].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core View - The possibility of a trend - based economic recovery in 2026 is low. To cope with uncertainties, monetary policy still needs to have aggregate - based loosening. The report maintains the judgment of two interest rate cuts next year, and the bond market can be optimistic. In the short term, the bond market adjustment may have basically ended, and the bond market pressure in the first quarter of next year may be lower than expected. The bond market interest rate may break through the previous low [4]. Summary by Related Catalog Economic Goal - The economic growth target for next year may remain at around 5%, but there are still many old problems and new challenges, and it will be difficult to achieve [6]. Fiscal Policy - Compared with last year, the expression of fiscal policy has weakened. The deficit rate may remain at 4%, with 5 trillion yuan in new special bonds, 2 trillion yuan in special treasury bonds, and 2 trillion yuan in special refinancing bonds. Considering macro uncertainties, some new special bonds may be revitalized in the second half of the year. The net financing of government bonds may be about 1.5 trillion yuan more than this year [7]. Local Finance - Changing from "increasing local autonomous financial resources" to "attaching importance to solving local fiscal difficulties" does not provide more incremental information [8]. Debt Resolution - Debt resolution remains the focus of local work next year. The meeting requires actively and orderly resolving local government debt risks, urging localities to take the initiative to resolve debts, and not allowing illegal new implicit debts, and also requires accelerating the clearance of arrears to enterprises [10]. Monetary Policy - The tone of monetary policy is still "implementing a moderately loose monetary policy", and the modifier for reserve - requirement ratio and interest rate cuts has changed from "opportunistically" to "flexibly and efficiently". The central bank may not conduct aggregate - based loosening based on financial data changes but anchor economic growth, inflation, and boosting social confidence. There may be structural policies to support key areas. The report expects two interest rate cuts next year, one at the beginning of next year [11]. Expanding Domestic Demand - The expression of expanding domestic demand has weakened. Although it mentions "promoting investment to stop falling and stabilize", the "optimization - based" means seem insufficient. "Continuing to play the role of new policy - based tools" and "deeply promoting energy - saving and carbon - reduction transformation in key industries" may be important measures next year [12]. Real Estate - In the arrangement of key work, the priority of real estate has dropped, and the expression has also weakened. The urgency of real - estate work has decreased [13]. Anti - Involution - Anti - involution continues to be steadily promoted. It emphasizes that anti - involution needs to be based on the construction of a national unified market. Regulating tax incentives and fiscal subsidy policies may reduce duplicate production capacity initiated by local governments, but demand will also be affected, and price recovery may face certain resistance [14]. Reform of Small and Medium - sized Financial Institutions - The reform of small and medium - sized financial institutions will accelerate mergers. The trend of large institutions merging small and medium - sized ones is clear. More than 350 small and medium - sized banks have exited the market this year, and state - owned large banks have participated in integration activities [15]. Policy Rhythm - The demand for policies to be implemented earlier has weakened, and the possibility of a good start in the first quarter of next year needs further observation [16].

Group 1: Automotive Market Overview - In November, the national retail sales of passenger cars reached 2.225 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 8.1% and a month-on-month decrease of 1.1%, aligning with the initial forecast of a "low start, medium growth, and stable end" trend for the year [5][11][20] - Cumulative retail sales for the year reached 21.483 million units, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 6.1%. The growth rate fluctuated throughout the year, with a notable slowdown in the fourth quarter due to high base effects from the previous year [5][11][20] - The "old-for-new" subsidy policy has been a significant driver for growth, with over 11.2 million applications for subsidies by the end of October, although the average daily subsidy scale dropped to 30,000 units in November due to the suspension of subsidies in various regions [5][11][20] Group 2: Intelligent Driving Developments - NVIDIA has officially open-sourced its new Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, Alpamayo-R1, marking a significant shift in autonomous driving technology from mere behavior imitation to deeper causal reasoning [6][33] - The model's dataset, approximately 100TB in size, has been uploaded to the open-source community, indicating a move towards more accessible high-end autonomous driving models [6][33] Group 3: Investment Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on companies with strong positions in automotive intelligence and leading software capabilities, including Rui Ming Technology, Dao Tong Technology, Hei Zhi Ma Intelligent, Horizon Robotics, and others [8][39]

It restarted the RMP Treasury bill purchase process with an initial monthly amount of $40 billion [6]. - Three voting members opposed the resolution, showing increased internal differences. However, most members agreed on the 25 - basis - point rate cut, indicating a consensus on labor - market weakness [12]. - The market's immediate reaction was mild as it had almost fully priced in the rate cut. The S&P 500 slightly rose, 2 - year Treasury yields declined, 10 - year yields rose, gold prices increased, and the US dollar index oscillated [3][13]. 3.1.2 Dot Plot: One - Time Rate Cuts in 2026 and 2027 - The December 2025 Fed economic forecast showed a moderate economic recovery, with upward - adjusted economic growth expectations and downward - adjusted inflation expectations for this and next year.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - After achieving duration neutrality in cross - variety arbitrage, the market aims to earn term spread returns, but the net basis often has a greater impact on the portfolio value. The report tries to help investors solve this problem by finding the net basis rules of different portfolios [3] - The fluctuations of the duration - neutral cross - variety arbitrage portfolio mainly come from term spread and net basis fluctuations. The net basis fluctuation dominates the impact on the overall value. After subtracting the net basis, the portfolio value fluctuation fits the term spread better, indicating that the net basis is the main factor affecting the portfolio's tracking of the term spread [4] - The short - term fluctuations of the portfolio's net basis have weak regularity, but in the long run, it has certain characteristics. It has a fixed historical fluctuation range and mean - reversion characteristics. Curve trading can be considered when the net basis is at a historical high or low to avoid potential impacts [5] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalog 1. Cross - Variety Arbitrage's Duration Neutrality 1.1 Portfolio Value Fluctuations Mainly Come from Basis and Term Spread - Since May, the short - end of government bonds has been stable, and the long - end has adjusted significantly, with term spreads widening. Common arbitrage portfolios have significant duration gaps, so a portfolio without a duration gap is considered to track the term spread. When a×D(A)×A = b×D(B)×B, the portfolio's duration is 0 [10][12] - To keep the arbitrage portfolio duration - neutral, the position ratio of the varieties in the portfolio should be adjusted over time, but it is difficult to do so daily in practice [15] - To observe the impact of net basis fluctuations on portfolio value, a duration - neutral arbitrage portfolio is created near the main contract switching date and tracked until the next switch. The portfolio ratio remains unchanged during this period [20] - After achieving duration neutrality, the portfolio's value fluctuations mainly come from tracking term spreads and net basis fluctuations. The net basis causes portfolio value changes. From 2018 to now, except for 2020, the price fluctuations of most arbitrage portfolios in the main contracts within 3 months are usually within 1 yuan, and the net basis fluctuations are usually within 0.6 yuan. The net basis amplitude often reaches 100% - 200% of the portfolio price amplitude, and since the 2412 contract, this proportion has decreased but remains high [22][24] - The correlation between portfolio value and net basis is unstable. Due to net basis disturbances, the arbitrage portfolio often deviates from tracking term spreads, but after subtracting the net basis, the tracking effect is greatly improved [33][37][39] 1.2 What Are the Disturbing Factors of the Net Basis? - In the strategy of rotating every 3 months, the net basis is the main disturbing factor. In 2024, bond market interest rates were positively correlated with the net basis, but since 2025, the trend has diverged. Since May 2025, there has been a certain negative correlation [42] - The net basis of the portfolio is generally positively correlated with the funding rate, but the rule for the T - TL portfolio is unstable, possibly due to the stronger trading nature of the TL contract [42] - Trading activity is positively correlated with the portfolio's net basis in the general trend, and the rule is more obvious when measured by trading volume divided by open interest. The T - TL rule is relatively less obvious [53] - Similar to the net basis of a single variety, the portfolio's net basis has cyclical fluctuations and mean - reversion characteristics. Curve trading can be considered when the net basis reaches a historical high or low [53] 2. Cross - Variety Arbitrage Example - The 30Y - 7Y term spread has widened since early June. A cross - variety arbitrage portfolio was created on May 30 to track it. From May 30 to August 21, the term spread widened by 5.25bp, the futures portfolio value increased by about 0.03 yuan, and the net basis caused a loss of about 0.06 yuan, accounting for 63% of the loss. The net basis on May 30 was not at an extreme value, and interest rate increases during the period led to potential net basis declines and additional losses [62][64]

Core Insights - The report maintains a positive outlook on the agricultural sector, particularly in the livestock and pet industries, while highlighting ongoing challenges in pig farming due to supply pressures and price adjustments [2][5][9]. Livestock Industry Overview - Pig farming is experiencing downward price adjustments due to increased supply from smallholders and insufficient demand for cured products, leading to a supply-demand struggle [9][18]. - The number of breeding sows decreased by 0.38% in November, indicating a potential acceleration in capacity reduction [21][9]. - As of December 4, the average price for market pigs was 11.30 CNY/kg, reflecting a week-on-week decline of 1.57% [32][33]. - The profitability of pig farming remains negative, with losses of 167.69 CNY per head for self-bred pigs and 259.39 CNY per head for purchased piglets reported [39][42].
