存款利率下调的影响尚未被充分定价

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Report's Core View - This time the deposit rate cut is the largest since 2022, and its impact on the bond market may not be fully priced. The main impact may be on financial disintermediation, which is beneficial to credit bonds. Although short - term frictions and government bond supply shocks increase the pressure on certificate of deposit (CD) supply, CD yields are expected to gradually decline. The bond market is expected to gradually recover after short - term fluctuations [2][6][56] Summary by Directory I. This time the deposit rate cut is the largest since 2022 - Since 2021, China's deposit rate formation mechanism has been adjusted multiple times. In 2021, the deposit rate ceiling was changed from a multiple to a point - based system; in 2022, banks were required to adjust deposit rates with reference to the 10 - year Treasury yield and 1 - year LPR; in 2023, the central bank tightened its constraints on bank deposit rates [7][8][11] - The decline in deposit rates is often greater than that of policy rates. Due to the narrowing of bank spreads, the central bank cut interest rates in May 2025, pushing the LPR down by 10BP, followed by a new round of deposit rate cuts. This time, the deposit rate ceiling was cut by the largest margin since 2022, reflecting the central bank's goal of protecting bank spreads and promoting a decline in social financing costs [15][23][26] II. The impact of deposit rate adjustment on bank liabilities requires the cooperation of liquidity environment and asset - side shocks - The decline in deposit rates mainly causes structural impacts on bank liabilities, such as funds flowing from some banks to others or being used to buy non - bank products. However, this time, all types of banks cut rates simultaneously, so the impact on each bank is relatively smooth, and the main impact may be increased financial disintermediation [28] - For the impact on the entire banking system to expand, two conditions are generally required: tight liquidity and asset - side shocks. For example, in the second half of 2020, the reduction of structured deposits, combined with tight liquidity and increased supply of credit and government bonds, led to a significant increase in CD rates; in April 2024, after the ban on manual interest subsidies, large - bank deposits decreased, but the stable liquidity environment limited the increase in CD rates [29][30][32] III. The core contradiction of this deposit rate cut may still be financial disintermediation, and its impact has not been fully priced - From the perspective of the money market, although there were fluctuations after the RRR cut and interest rate cut, they can be attributed to exogenous factors such as government bond net financing and tax - period disturbances. The central bank's short - term target DR007 center may have dropped to the 1.5% - 1.6% range, and the spread between the money market rate and the policy rate has been narrowing since March, with the possibility of further narrowing in June [33][36] - From the asset side, the decline in bank credit in April may be due to weakening credit demand after the concentrated lending in the first quarter, rather than the replacement of credit by special refinancing bonds. There is still about 1.3 trillion yuan of special refinancing bonds to be used after May, which may restrict new credit. The supply of government bonds in May increased, which, combined with the frictions caused by the deposit rate cut, may be the reason for the recent fluctuations in CD rates. However, the impact of government bond supply is expected to weaken marginally in the future [45][49][56]
