Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The most crucial aspect of the new land - use policy in Document No. 38 issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources is that the annual new urban - rural construction land should be less than or equal to the area of revitalized stock land, and new construction land is not to be used for commercial real - estate development in principle. In the short term, the impact on local land transfer and real - estate enterprises' land acquisition is limited. In the medium term, there may be downward pressure on land auction revenues and real - estate enterprises' land acquisition, with varying impacts on different cities. In the long term, if the policy helps the real - estate market stabilize and recover, it could be beneficial to the land and real - estate markets [2][40]. - In 2025, the national land auction market remained weak, with a cumulative transaction of 335.47 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 11%, and the decline continued to widen. Twelve provinces (municipalities) saw positive year - on - year growth in land transaction volume, with partial provinces in the west and northeast showing obvious recovery, while most provinces in the east and central regions were still in adjustment [3][41]. - Document No. 38 may affect local land auction revenues and increase the interest - payment pressure on less - developed regions, thus influencing the debt - repayment ability of local urban investment companies. In 2025, the interest - payment pressure in key provinces showed obvious improvement in some regions, but increased in others [3][43]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. How does the Ministry of Natural Resources Document No. 38 affect land supply? - Document No. 38's principle of "determining new construction based on stock" will promote local governments to revitalize stock land. In the short term, effective supply can be formed through measures like accelerating the land - use planning adjustment of "available but unused" land, without directly negatively impacting local land transfer revenues or real - estate investment. In the medium term, the space for local governments in small and medium - sized cities to obtain fiscal revenues through land transfer will narrow significantly [7]. - The new construction land refers to the land converted from non - construction land (mainly agricultural and unused land) through legal procedures and included in the national annual new construction land plan. The state's control over new construction land has evolved from specific object requirements to a comprehensive hard constraint [8][9]. - In the short term, the policy's impact on land transfer revenues and new housing projects is limited. In the medium term, it will have a certain impact on local land transfer revenues, especially in small and medium - sized cities. For real - estate enterprises, the policy's impact on high - tier cities is relatively limited, while the impact on low - tier cities is mild. In the long term, if the real - estate market stabilizes, it will be beneficial to the land market and real - estate investment [11][12][13]. 2. How was the land transaction situation in 2025? - Nationally, the land auction market was weak. In December 2025, the land transfer fee was 79.29 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 23.5%. The cumulative transaction in 2025 was 335.47 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 11%, and the decline continued to widen. The national state - owned land transfer revenue in 2025 was 415.18 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 14.75%, the fourth consecutive year of decline since 2022, but the decline slightly narrowed [16][19]. - Twelve provinces and municipalities achieved positive year - on - year growth in land transaction volume in 2025, with partial provinces in the west and northeast showing obvious recovery. Provinces with high year - on - year growth in land transaction volume included Chongqing, Jilin, Yunnan, Ningxia, Guizhou, Xinjiang, and Heilongjiang. Provinces with significant year - on - year declines included Anhui, Shaanxi, Guangxi, Henan, Shandong, and Jiangsu [22]. - In 2025, the proportion of urban investment companies' land acquisition generally decreased. At the prefecture - level city level, cities with high land transaction volumes in 2025 were concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, Chengdu - Chongqing, and Pearl River Delta regions. A small number of cities showed obvious recovery, while most were still in deep adjustment [23][25]. 3. Pay attention to regions with high interest - payment pressure - Document No. 38 may affect local land auction revenues. Although the package debt - resolution policy has helped local governments save interest expenses, the real - estate market adjustment has led to a continuous decline in local government land transfer revenues, and the contradiction between local fiscal revenue and expenditure remains prominent [28]. - In terms of the absolute scale of interest, the total interest expenditure on local debts and urban investment companies' interest - bearing debts in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Sichuan was much larger than in other regions, with an annual total interest - payment scale exceeding 300 billion yuan. The ability of land finance to cover local debt interest showed strong regional differentiation [29][32]. - The interest expenditure of urban investment companies decreased comprehensively. In 2025, the interest - coverage ratio of land revenue to urban investment companies' interest in key provinces showed obvious improvement in some regions, while it decreased in others. At the prefecture - level city level, the interest - payment pressure of some cities was controllable, while others faced large interest - payment gaps [34][36][37]. 4. Summary - The new land - use policy in Document No. 38 has limited short - term impact on local land transfer and real - estate enterprises' land acquisition. In the medium term, there may be downward pressure on land auction revenues and real - estate enterprises' land acquisition, with different impacts on different cities. In the long term, it may be beneficial to the land and real - estate markets if the policy helps the market stabilize [40]. - In 2025, the national land auction market was weak, with some provinces showing positive growth and others in decline. The interest - payment pressure in some key provinces improved in 2025, while it increased in others [41][43].

- The report discusses a quantitative model that outputs probabilities for short-term movements in bond yields or stock indices. The model's output is expressed as a percentage, representing the likelihood of upward movement in yields or indices at the end of the trading day. Thresholds are set at 40% and 60% to classify the market view as "bullish," "bearish," or "neutral" [6][7] - The model uses a moving average (MA5) of the daily timing signals to smooth out short-term fluctuations and provide a more stable view of market trends. For example, the MA5 values are calculated for various assets, such as 30-year government bonds, 2-year government bonds, and stock indices like the CSI Dividend Total Return Index and the Wind Microcap Index [6][7] - The model's predictions are tested across multiple assets, including government bonds (2-year, 10-year, 30-year), stock indices (e.g., CSI Dividend Total Return Index, Wind Microcap Index, Hang Seng Tech Index, STAR 50 Index), and commodities (e.g., COMEX Gold, IPE Brent Oil). The predictions are categorized into "bullish," "bearish," or "neutral" based on the thresholds mentioned above [6][7] - The report provides detailed results for each asset, including the daily timing signal, MA5 value, and the model's market view. For instance, the 2-year government bond has a daily signal of 20.57% and an MA5 of 13.86%, leading to a "bullish" view sustained for over 10 trading days. Similarly, the CSI Dividend Total Return Index has a daily signal of 36.60% and an MA5 of 24.23%, also classified as "bullish" for over 10 trading days [6][7] - The model's performance is evaluated over a 10-day period for each asset, with the report highlighting changes in market views and the duration of these views. For example, the 30-year government bond shifted from "neutral" to "bearish" with a daily signal of 68.41% and an MA5 of 63.62%, sustained for one trading day. The Hang Seng Tech Index remained "neutral" with a daily signal of 71.60% and an MA5 of 55.90%, sustained for two trading days [6][7]
