Group 1: Current Offerings - ICBC is currently offering a 3-year large-denomination CD with a minimum deposit of 1 million yuan and an interest rate of 1.55% [1][2]. - The latest 3-year fixed deposit products from ICBC have an interest rate of up to 1.55%, with a minimum deposit requirement of only 50 yuan [1]. - Other banks have similar offerings, with 3-year CDs at 1.55% and 1-year and 2-year products at 1.20% [9]. Group 2: Market Trends - Major state-owned banks have completely stopped offering 5-year large-denomination CDs, with a noticeable trend towards shorter-term products across the banking sector [9]. - The exit of 5-year CDs is seen as a response to pressure on banks' interest margins, which may influence future loan rate adjustments and redirect funds towards capital markets [10]. - Analysts suggest that the reduction in deposit rates could lead to a "deposit migration" effect, where funds move from banks to higher-yielding investments in stocks, bonds, and funds, potentially benefiting the direct financing market [10].
