2025年10月价格数据点评：重视通胀数据上行的可能性

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The inflation reading is likely to rise in the next six months, considering factors such as base dislocation and anti - involution policies. The market, especially the bond market, has not priced in the possibility of a significant inflation rebound. There are risks in the judgment that "inflation is difficult to maintain an upward trend." In the bond market, economic expectations are being revised, and bond yields are expected to rise trend - wise. For stock and bond allocation, it is advisable to pay attention to the potential for a rebound in bond yields and the potential upside of pro - cyclical sectors in the stock market [5][6]. Summary According to Related Contents Event Review - In October 2025, the CPI rose 0.2% month - on - month (previous value: 0.1%) and 0.2% year - on - year (- 0.3% previously); the core CPI rose 0.2% month - on - month (0.0%) and 1.2% year - on - year (1.0%); the PPI rose 0.1% month - on - month (0.0%) and fell 2.1% year - on - year (- 2.3%). The CPI year - on - year increase was significantly higher than the market expectation, with the median forecast of 21 institutions surveyed by Wind being - 0.1% and the maximum only 0.1% [3]. Factors Affecting Inflation CPI Factors - Gold price changes have a relatively large impact on the current CPI year - on - year increase, with gold and platinum jewelry price changes roughly contributing a 0.3% pull to the CPI year - on - year. Gold prices may remain at a high level year - on - year in the next few months [3]. - The anti - seasonal rise in vegetable prices has led to base dislocation. The impact of vegetable prices on the CPI year - on - year may continue to increase, potentially adding an extra 0.2% to the November CPI year - on - year [4]. - Pork prices are still at historical lows, but there are signs of a bottom, and the base is starting to decline, so the negative drag on the CPI may gradually decrease. The situation of eggs is similar. The price of high - priced protein such as beef has risen significantly since April, and the beef CPI year - on - year in October was 5.6% [4]. PPI Factors - The PPI turning positive month - on - month is a positive signal. The improvement in supply - demand relations and input factors led to the first positive month - on - month PPI in October 2025 since November 2024. Future PPI trends depend on oil prices (which may have bottomed out as OPEC's production increase may end) and the effectiveness of anti - involution policies, as prices of coal, lithium, etc. have already risen [4]. Market Implications Bond Market - If inflation returns to 2% in 2026, bond yields will rise. Currently, most bond market investors are skeptical about a significant inflation rebound. If inflation readings rise, market expectations may reverse, which could lead to a 1 - 2 - month impact on the bond market and a yield increase of about 20bp, as seen in 2016 Q2 and 2019 [5]. Stock Market - The logic of paying attention to the possibility of inflation data rising also applies to the stock market. Believing in the "normalization of inflation" in advance can help capture the potential upside of pro - cyclical sectors [6].
