Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the text about the report industry investment rating. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The money market in October was looser than in September, with overall downward movement in money market rates, and the rates basically returning to the historical fluctuation range. The weak credit demand and the central bank's resumption of treasury bond trading alleviated the tightness of the money market in October [2][11][16]. - It is expected that the money market in November will remain stable compared to October. The central bank's resumption of treasury bond trading may have a short - term impact on the money market, but in the long run, it may "crowd out" the quota of other liquidity tools, and the money market rates will return to be priced by regular factors such as the central bank's attitude and fundamental conditions [5][40][48]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 10 - Month Review: Looser than September - Money Market Rates: In October, the operating centers of DR001, DR007, and DR014 decreased by 5bp, 4bp, and 5bp respectively compared to the previous period, and those of R001, R007, and R014 also decreased by 5bp, 4bp, and 8bp respectively. The proportion of time that DR001 ran below the policy rate increased by 31 percentage points to 83%, and that of DR007 running below "policy rate + 10bp" rose by 7 percentage points to 72%. The upward deviation of DR007 from the OMO 7 - day rate in October was 6bp, narrowing from 10bp in September [2][11]. - Return to Historical Fluctuation Range: After experiencing an unexpected tightening in the first quarter, the money market rates gradually declined in the second quarter and basically returned to the historical fluctuation range in the third quarter. In October, the rates further declined, returning to the historical average level both year - on - year and month - on - month, with the monthly average deviation of DR007 from the policy rate reaching a new low in 2025 and falling into the historical "normal" fluctuation range [13]. - Reasons for the Decline in Money Market Rates: In October, the central bank's total capital injection was only 4.7 billion, far less than the average of 253.7 billion in the past five years. The reasons for the decline in money market rates may be the weak credit demand in October (as indicated by the rapid decline of the six - month transfer discount rate of national and joint - stock banks approaching 0%) and the announcement on October 27 by Governor Pan Gongsheng about resuming open - market treasury bond trading, which alleviated the tightness of the money market at the end of the month [3][16]. - Performance of Interbank Certificates of Deposit (CDs): Most inter - bank CD yields declined in October, except for a 1bp increase in the average yield of 3M CDs compared to September. The 1Y CD issuance rates of various banks showed an inverted V - shaped trend in October, rising in the first half of the month and falling significantly after the expectation of resuming treasury bond trading was realized [23]. - Fund Stratification Pressure: The spreads between R001 and DR001, and between R007 and DR007 in October were basically the same as in September, and the fund stratification pressure remained at a low level within the year [28]. 11 - Month Outlook: May Remain Stable Compared to October - Central Bank's Treasury Bond Trading: In 2024, the central bank net - bought 1 trillion in treasury bonds, including 1.4 trillion in short - term bonds and sold 400 billion in long - term bonds, with a net injection of 1 trillion in liquidity into the market. If calculated based on the proportion of the central bank's short - term bond purchases to the large banks' net purchases in 2024, the central bank may inject nearly 1 trillion in liquidity through treasury bond purchases in the future. In addition, large banks' net purchases of 3 - 5 - year treasury bonds in August and September 2025 may indicate that the central bank may also buy treasury bonds with maturities over 3 years in the future, further increasing the liquidity injection. In October, the central bank net - bought 200 million in treasury bonds, a relatively low scale [4][34]. - Relationship between MLF, Reverse Repos, and Treasury Bond Trading: Historically, MLF and reverse repos have mostly shown an inverse relationship. Treasury bond trading may also "crowd out" the scale of other liquidity tools. Although the central bank net - injected 3.7 trillion through treasury bond trading and outright reverse repos from August to December 2024, reverse repos and MLF net - withdrew 2.8905 trillion, and the total injection scale was not high compared to the same period in previous years. The impact of the central bank's resumption of treasury bond trading on the money market may be short - term, and in the long run, the central bank will make "trade - offs" among different liquidity tools [5][37][38]. - Government Bond Net Financing Pressure: In November, due to the decline in the maturity scale of treasury bonds, the net financing pressure of government bonds will increase month - on - month. It is estimated that the net financing scale of treasury bonds in November will be about 739.8 billion, and that of local bonds will be about 231.8 billion, with a total net financing scale of about 1.23 trillion, significantly higher than the 528.1 billion in October [41]. - Excess Reserve Ratio: In November, fiscal expenditures may support the money market, but the increase in currency issuance and required reserve base will basically offset this support. Considering the maturity of MLF, outright reverse repos, and treasury cash fixed - term deposits in November, the liquidity gap is about 2 trillion. Assuming equal - amount roll - overs of these monetary tools, the estimated excess reserve ratio in November is about 1.08%, which may be the same as in October [44][46]. - Overall Outlook: It is expected that the money market in November will remain stable compared to October, with DR001 mostly running below the policy rate and DR007 continuing to run at the 1.5% level [48].
