Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The time point for the certificate of deposit (CD) interest rate to return to a downward trend may be earlier than market expectations. Despite the existence of factors such as increased supply of interest - bearing bonds, deposit rate cuts, and the end - of - June factor that cause marginal tightening pressure on the capital market, the market has made preparations. The outflow of bank deposits due to rate cuts may increase the demand for CD allocation, and the CD issuance rhythm and bank behavior also support the earlier return of CD rates to a downward trend. If so, it will also bring a repair opportunity for the bond market interest rate to decline steeply [4][7][9]. Summary According to the Directory 1 Fixed Income Market Observation and Thinking - Market concerns about the upward risk of CD interest rates have resurfaced, mainly due to increased supply of interest - bearing bonds, deposit rate cuts increasing bank liability pressure, and the end - of - June factor. However, the market has prepared, and the CD interest rate may return to a downward trend earlier than expected [4][7]. - Deposit rate cuts may lead to bank deposit outflows, but the funds are likely to enter fixed - income asset management products, increasing CD allocation demand and potentially pushing CD rates down [4][7]. - From the perspective of CD issuance rhythm, if banks expect tight funds at the beginning of the year and increase CD financing, the CD rate may decline earlier when facing the end - of - June factor [4][8]. - Bank behavior shows that the slowdown in the expansion pressure of inter - bank liabilities relative to assets helps stabilize CD rates [4][8]. 2 Fixed Income Market Outlook 2.1 This Week's Attention and Important Data Release - This week, China will release the official manufacturing PMI for May, the US will release the core PCE for April, and the eurozone will release the industrial sentiment index for May [17][18]. 2.2 This Week's Interest - Bearing Bond Supply Scale Estimation - This week, it is expected to issue 328.2 billion yuan of interest - bearing bonds, which is at a relatively low level compared to the same period.
