- The report suggests that the current market adjustment may exceed expectations, driven by the ongoing US-China trade friction and the microstructural rebalancing in the technology sector[1][3][4] - The report recommends switching from technology to dividend stocks in the short term due to the over-optimistic market expectations and the need for further consolidation[1][3][4] - The report highlights the differences between the current market environment and the one in April, noting that the market's position is relatively high, and the technology sector may be entering a phase of expectation realization[3][14] - The report identifies the structural risks in the technology sector, including high financing net inflows and concentrated holdings by public equity funds[4][15] - The report mentions the estimation model for fund positions, showing that the cumulative holdings of the TMT sector by public equity funds have reached the highest level since 2019[4][15] - The report discusses the trading congestion model, indicating that popular sectors like non-ferrous metals, electric power equipment, electronics, and communication are highly congested[4][15] - The report notes that despite the significant adjustment in technology stocks, there is still a divergence in market views on their future performance, suggesting potential opportunities for portfolio rebalancing[5][6][16] - The report includes a timing model based on micro-market structure, showing that the activity of informed traders is cooling down, indicating a cautious attitude towards the future market[18] - The report provides insights into the performance of BARRA style factors, indicating that stocks with high turnover and short-term momentum showed negative excess returns, while high volatility stocks continued to provide positive excess returns[27][28]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views - The calculated September 2025 excess reserve ratio is at a high level compared to the same period in previous years, but the core excess reserve ratio (excluding the central bank's reverse repurchase balance) is at a low level during the same period. This divergence indicates that the current excess reserves of the banking system rely on central bank injections, and the 1.4% 7D reverse repurchase rate of the central bank directly forms the lower limit of DR007 [1][3]. - With the slowdown of government bond issuance and commercial banks' reduced focus on loan - volume targets, the core excess reserve ratio is expected to rise slightly in the fourth quarter [4]. Summary by Directory 1 How to View the Divergence between Excess Reserve Ratio and Core Excess Reserve Ratio - The September 2025 excess reserve ratio (calculated by the five - factor method) is 1.59%, up from 1.22% in August and compared to 1.80% in September 2024. It is the second - highest in September over the past five years [2][11]. - The core excess reserve ratio in September 2025 is 0.64%, while the calculated core excess reserve ratios in September of the past four years were 0.98%, 1.07%, 0.42%, and 1.15%. The divergence shows that the excess reserve level of the commercial banking system depends on the central bank's open - market reverse repurchases, and the central bank's injections affect the level of excess reserves [3][12]. - The impact of loans on excess reserves has been decreasing. From 2022 to Q3 2025, the new RMB loans of commercial banks were 4.4 trillion, 4 trillion, 2.75 trillion, and 1.83 trillion respectively, and the growth rate may remain low in Q4. As of October 17, 2025, the remaining government bond issuance amount is much lower than the quarterly issuance in the first three quarters of 2025 [4][17]. 2 Narrow - sense Liquidity 2.1 Central Bank Operations: Continuous Net Injection of Outright Reverse Repurchases - In the past week (10/13 - 10/17), the central bank's pledged reverse repurchase had a net withdrawal of 3479 billion yuan. As of October 17, the central bank's reverse repurchase balance was 7891 billion yuan, significantly lower than at the end of September, in line with the pattern of "injections at the end of the month and withdrawals at the beginning of the month" [19]. - In October, the total maturity amount of outright reverse repurchases was 13000 billion yuan (8000 billion yuan for 3M and 5000 billion yuan for 6M), and the MLF maturity was 7000 billion yuan. The central bank's net injection of outright reverse repurchases in October was 4000 billion yuan [20]. 2.2 Institution - level Funding Supply and Demand: Strong Supply and Demand - On October 17, large - scale banks' net funding supply (flow concept, excluding same - day maturities) was 4.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 6899 billion yuan from October 10, and the net funding supply balance was 5.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 6170 billion yuan from October 10, both at relatively high levels compared to the same period in previous years. The net funding supply balance of money market funds was 1.3 trillion yuan, a decrease of 5374 billion yuan from October 10, in line with the rule of "less net funding supply in a loose liquidity environment". The net funding supply of joint - stock commercial banks was - 2118 billion yuan, at a low level compared to the same period in previous years [21]. - On October 17, the balance of bonds to be repurchased in the inter - bank pledged repurchase market was about 12.0 trillion yuan, an increase of 3340 billion yuan from October 10. The full - market leverage ratio was 107%, up 0.22 percentage points from October 10, and the leverage ratio of non - legal person products was 113%, up 0.44 percentage points from October 10 [30]. 2.3 Repurchase Market Transaction: Stable Volume and Price - In the past week, the volume and price of the inter - bank pledged repurchase market were stable. The median daily trading volume was about 8 trillion yuan, an increase of 4665 billion yuan compared to October 10 - 11. The median R001 was 1.35%, still at a low level. The median spread between R001 and DR001 decreased by 2.8bp to 3.9bp, and the median spread between GC001 and R001 decreased by 5.5bp to 4bp, indicating low liquidity friction [34]. - The funding sentiment index remained around 50, and the market generally loosened in the afternoon [36]. 2.4 Interest Rate Swaps: Slight Decline - The 1 - year FR007 IRS rate and the 1 - year SHIBOR 3 - month IRS rate increased compared to last week.

The issuance progress of new local government bonds was 84%, with 0.83 trillion yuan of remaining issuance space (excluding the proposed 5000 - billion - yuan local government bond quota balance). The issuance of refinancing special bonds has completed the annual task. The supply of government bonds slowed down in October, and future issuance depends on the issuance rhythm of the 5000 - billion - yuan local government bond quota balance and the early allocation of the new local government debt quota in 2026 [48]. 4 Inter - bank Certificates of Deposit: Significantly Reduced Net Financing, and the Long - term Liability Pressure of Banks May Be Controllable 4.1 Absolute Yields - On October 17, the SHIBOR quotes for overnight, 7 - day, 1M, 3M, 6M, 9M, and 1Y were 1.32%, 1.42%, 1.56%, 1.58%, 1.64%, 1.66%, and 1.67% respectively.

Factors Influencing Bank Bond Trading Behavior - Passive allocation behavior involves using remaining liquidity to participate in the secondary market, enhancing fund utilization [9] - Active allocation behavior is driven by performance pressures, leading banks to adjust positions to enhance revenue or mitigate risks [10] - Risk indicator constraints require banks to adjust their bond maturity structure based on liquidity and interest rate risks [11] 2. Reasons for Significant Bond Selling in March to June 2025 - The primary reason for the significant bond selling was the performance pressure on small banks, which needed to realize gains from OCI/AC accounts to improve earnings [12] - Remaining liquidity did not significantly decrease during this period, indicating that the selling behavior was more related to active management rather than passive allocation [13] - The performance pressure was particularly acute for small banks, which had to sell older bonds to support their revenue [17][18] 3. Different Motivations for Bond Trading Among Bank Types - State-owned banks are primarily constrained by remaining liquidity and are expected to focus on buying bonds [3] - Joint-stock banks are experiencing significant performance pressure, leading to a reduction in AC account sizes [3] - City and rural commercial banks are also facing performance pressures, resulting in a contraction of both AC and OCI account sizes [3] 4. Future Expectations for Bank Bond Selling - In the coming months, large banks are expected to focus on buying bonds, while small banks may continue to sell older bonds to improve their performance [3] - The passive allocation behavior is anticipated to remain strong due to increased remaining liquidity, while small banks may increase their selling activities [4] - Risk indicator pressures are expected to ease as supply pressures diminish, leading to a reduction in bond selling by state-owned banks [4] 5.

Core Insights - The current bond market is experiencing a bottom consolidation for 5-year and 10-year government bonds, while the ultra-long end is still in the process of clearing last chips, leading to a lag in stabilization for the ultra-long end compared to the medium and short ends. Investors are advised to strategically position in 5-10 year mid-long term varieties while waiting for signals of redemption disturbances to ease and risk appetite to decline [1][2][32] Historical Context - Historical instances of "medium-short end stabilizing first, ultra-long end lagging in decline" provide insights into the current bond market. Notable periods include September 2013 during the "money shortage," May 2020 at the onset of "bond bull to bear," and November 2022 during the "redemption wave" [1][2][9] Market Dynamics - The core driving forces behind the current market dynamics can be summarized as: "short end driven by liquidity, long end driven by supply, and ultra-long end driven by the last chips." The market since August 2025 is replicating this script, with the "chips" now being influenced by new fund fee regulations and cautious sentiment under rising risk appetite [2][32] Investment Strategy - Investors are encouraged to focus on the 5-10 year mid-long term bonds as the ultra-long end continues to clear out last chips. The recommendation is to wait for signs of easing redemption disturbances and a decline in risk appetite before making significant moves [1][2][32]
