7月金融数据点评：弱现实延续，债市阶段性脱敏

Core Insights - The report highlights a continuation of weak economic conditions, with a notable decline in new RMB loans in July 2025, amounting to -0.05 billion compared to 2.24 billion in June 2025. New social financing (社融) was 1.16 billion, down from 4.20 billion in June 2025, while the year-on-year growth rate of social financing was 9%, slightly up from 8.9% in June 2025 [3][4][5]. Group 1: Social Financing and Government Debt - Government debt continues to support the growth of social financing in July, with net financing reaching 1.25 billion, although this is a decrease from 1.41 billion in June. This high level of government debt financing has effectively supported social financing growth despite weak credit demand from the real economy [3][5]. - The report indicates that corporate short-term loans were low, while bill financing saw significant growth. This is attributed to a rapid decline in bill rates, which created a substitution effect with short-term loans, and effective measures to clear overdue accounts [3][4][5]. Group 2: Household and Corporate Credit Demand - Both household and corporate credit demand in July were below seasonal levels, reflecting low consumer willingness to spend and weak housing demand. The implementation of personal consumption loan subsidies and childcare allowances may stimulate future household consumption, but improvements in housing demand remain uncertain due to inventory and pricing factors [3][4][5]. - The report notes that new non-bank deposits increased to a seasonal high in July, indicating a trend of residents moving deposits to equity markets, influenced by favorable performance in the equity market and a seasonal decline in wealth management products [3][4][5]. Group 3: Monetary Indicators - M1 and M2 growth rates both increased, with the M1-M2 spread narrowing, suggesting a marginal improvement in economic activity. The increase in M1 is attributed to several factors, including a low base effect from previous financial data adjustments and significant net fiscal spending [3][4][5]. - The report also mentions that the bond market's pricing of fundamentals and liquidity has weakened, with a flattening yield curve reflecting pessimistic expectations for the economy. The bond market has shown weakness following the release of financial data, indicating a potential shift of funds from bonds to equities [3][4][5]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The report anticipates that the bond market may face pressure in August, coinciding with a peak in government debt supply. The coordination of monetary policy with fiscal liquidity may be challenging, and if bond market adjustments intensify, there is a possibility that the central bank may restart bond purchases [3][4][5]. - The report concludes that the third and fourth quarters may present risk windows, as a decline in government debt supply could reduce liquidity support, while inflation risks may rise [3][4][5].
