流动性周报：降准后的资金紧怎么看？-20250519

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Maintain the conclusion that "funding may be looser than expected." Although short - term fluctuations occur in the current funding situation, the optimistic expectation for liquidity should not change, and there is still room for the funding price to decline [2]. - The bank's liability growth has returned to normal, and the objective environment for funding regulation has changed. The so - called "central bank's attitude" speculated by institutions is unreliable, and the central bank's attitude has also changed [3]. - After the RRR cut, the easing effect had been overdrawn before the actual implementation. The comprehensive impact of released funds and the overdrawn effect on the actual implementation day may not lead to an obvious change in the lent funds [3]. - The impact of government bond payments and the maturity of repurchase agreements exists, but the replacement of high - cost funds with cheaper RRR - cut funds still has an easing effect [3]. - There will be support from excess structural tools in the future, including a confirmed increase of 1.1 trillion in various re - loans and the possible re - activation of PSL, which has shrunk by 1.3 trillion since 2024 [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 1. How to View the Tightening of Funds after the RRR Cut - Previous Views on the Bond Market and Funds: Microscopically, the bond market is recovering; macroscopically, there are still opportunities in the bond market. The key to the subsequent bond market trend is whether the funding price center can break through 1.4%. There is a possibility that the funding will be looser than expected [10]. - Current Situation of Funds after the RRR Cut: The RRR cut was implemented on May 15th, and the funding tightened marginally. The funding price center dropped to around 1.5% after the RRR cut was announced in early May, but did not decline further after May 15th [11]. - Reasons for Not Being Pessimistic about the Funding: - Change in the Bank's Liability Environment: The bank's liability growth has returned to normal, and the so - called "central bank's attitude" speculated by institutions is unreliable. Even if the central bank continues to regulate, the funding center will be lower than before [14]. - Overdrawn Easing Effect: Before the actual implementation of the RRR cut, the easing effect had been overdrawn. The actual scale of the RRR cut may be affected by the change in the deposit base, and the lent funds may not change significantly on the implementation day [16]. - Impact of Other Factors: The large - scale government bond payments in the short term will consume excess reserves, and the maturity of repurchase agreements also needs to be considered. However, the replacement of high - cost funds with cheaper RRR - cut funds still has an easing effect [17]. - Support from Structural Tools: There will be support from excess structural tools in the future, including a confirmed increase of 1.1 trillion in various re - loans and the possible re - activation of PSL, which has shrunk by 1.3 trillion since 2024 [20]. - Conclusion: It is not advisable to be pessimistic about the funding. In most cases, the funding price will decline in the two weeks after the RRR cut. The bank's liability has returned to normal, and the central bank's attitude has also returned to stable and loose [22].
