固定收益定期：利率为何能突破前低

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Interest rates are expected to reach new lows, with a new downward trend possibly starting from mid - to late June. The report believes that the 10 - year treasury bond could reach 1.4% - 1.5% within the year [5][18]. 3. Summary by Related Content Bond Market Performance This Week - The bond market fluctuated strongly this week, with most interest rates across different tenors declining. At the beginning of the month, funds became looser, with the R001 rate dropping to around 1.45% and the R007 rate to around 1.55%. The 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bond rates decreased by 1.7bps and 2.0bps to 1.65% and 1.88% respectively. The 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit rate fell 2.3bps to 1.68%, and the 3 - year and 5 - year AAA - secondary capital bond rates dropped 3.2bps and 1.9bps [1][8]. Alleviation of Market Concerns - Market concerns about the bond market have eased. Big banks have limited pressure to sell bonds, and there is no obvious need to realize floating profits at the end of the quarter. Although a large number of certificates of deposit will mature in the coming weeks, due to the limited liability pressure of banks, they are still lending a large amount of funds, and the certificate of deposit rates remain low. The central bank's repurchase operation at the beginning of the month also helps stabilize market expectations [1][8]. Factors Driving Interest Rate Decline - The main driver of interest rate decline is the decrease in the real - economy return rate. The weakening trend of prices in the next few months is expected to lead to a reduction in the financing cost that the real economy can accept. Empirical data shows a high correlation between industrial enterprises' EBIT/ total assets and the weighted average loan interest rate. The recent weakening of industrial product prices indicates a possible decline in corporate profitability in the next few months, which means the corporate - acceptable financing cost may continue to fall [2][9]. Manifestation of Interest Rate Decline - The decline in broad - spectrum interest rates is reflected in both the decrease in liability costs and the narrowing of net interest margins. The liability cost decline is evident in various financial institutions, with the yields of deposits, money market funds, wealth management products, and insurance products showing a downward trend. For example, the 1 - year and 5 - year deposit rates of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have decreased by 50bps and 70bps respectively since the end of 2023, and were further reduced by 15bps and 25bps in May this year. The 7 - day average interest rate of Yu'E Bao has dropped below 1.2%, hitting a record low [3][12][13]. - Financial institutions' earnings are also on a downward trend. The net interest margin of banks has been decreasing over the past few years, dropping from 1.91% at the end of 2022 to 1.43% in the first quarter of this year, a decrease of 9bps compared to the end of last year, and it may continue to decline. Insurance's fee - difference loss may also be shrinking, and the management fees of various fixed - income asset management institutions may be under continuous pressure [4][15]. Short - term Driving Variables - In addition to the fundamental - driven decline in broad - spectrum interest rates, changes in asset supply and demand and the central bank's liquidity support will be the main short - term variables driving interest rates to break previous lows. The supply of government bonds will slow down in the next few months, while the supply of funds will remain abundant. The central bank has increased its support for liquidity, conducting repurchase operations in early June to maintain capital stability. The bond market may once again experience a situation where demand exceeds supply, and the asset shortage may reappear [4][17][18].
