增量转存量，货币政策重心转移但基调不改

Core Viewpoint - The recent meeting of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) highlighted a series of key policy signals, indicating a flexible adjustment of monetary policy amid low inflation and marginal improvements in macroeconomic indicators [1][3]. Economic Situation - The external economic environment is becoming increasingly complex, with weakening global growth and rising trade barriers. Despite challenges such as insufficient domestic demand and low inflation, China's economy is showing signs of stability and improvement [3][4]. - The core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.9% year-on-year in August, marking the fourth consecutive month of growth, while the Producer Price Index (PPI) decreased by 2.9% year-on-year, with a narrowing decline compared to July [3][4]. Monetary Policy Direction - The meeting emphasized the need for a moderately loose monetary policy, focusing on utilizing existing resources effectively rather than introducing new measures. This shift indicates confidence in the effectiveness of previously implemented policies [6][7]. - The PBOC aims to enhance the dual functions of monetary policy tools, promoting economic stability and maintaining reasonable price levels through better coordination with fiscal policy [6][7]. Future Expectations - There is a possibility of new growth-stabilizing policies in the fourth quarter, including potential interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratio reductions to stimulate consumption and investment [7][9]. - Structural monetary policy tools will be prioritized to support key sectors such as technology innovation, green development, and small and micro enterprises [8][9]. Bond Market Insights - The meeting reiterated the importance of monitoring long-term bond yields, with the 10-year government bond yield recently rising to 1.8%. The PBOC is cautious about large-scale government bond purchases, preferring to manage liquidity and utilize existing policy tools [9][10]. - The potential for resuming government bond purchases will depend on market conditions and external economic influences, with a focus on stabilizing market expectations and guiding interest rates downward [10][11].
