非银存款新增1.18万亿，流向了哪儿？券商观点现分歧

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in non-bank deposits by 1.18 trillion yuan in August, a year-on-year increase of 550 billion yuan, has sparked significant market interest, with differing opinions among analysts regarding the reasons behind this growth [1][2]. Group 1: Reasons for Non-Bank Deposit Increase - One perspective suggests that the increase in non-bank deposits is primarily due to the growth in stock account margins, as residents shift their savings into brokerage margin accounts and equity mutual funds [3]. - According to China International Capital Corporation (CICC), the increase in non-bank deposits correlates with a decrease in resident deposits, which grew by only 110 billion yuan in August, a year-on-year decrease of 600 billion yuan. This shift is attributed to the active capital market environment [3]. - Another viewpoint from Everbright Securities indicates that the "wealth effect" from a strong equity market has led to a transfer of resident deposits into non-bank deposits, with trading volumes in the stock market nearing peak levels [4]. Group 2: Alternative Explanations - Some analysts, like those from Xinda Securities, argue that the increase in non-bank deposits may also stem from a rising willingness to hold cash in non-bank products, especially given the weak bond market conditions in August [5]. - Huaxi Securities highlights that while the stock market's performance has driven some deposits into brokerage accounts, the overall speed of capital inflow into the market may not meet expectations, as evidenced by the number of new stock accounts opened in August [5]. - Additionally, data from the top 14 wealth management companies shows a net increase in their balances, suggesting that a portion of the funds may have flowed into non-bank deposits from wealth management products [6]. Group 3: Historical Context and Future Implications - Historical analysis by Galaxy Securities indicates that signs of a "deposit migration" are emerging, with a continuous decline in resident deposit growth and a potential shift towards equity assets [7]. - The correlation between non-bank deposit growth and the performance of the CSI 300 index has been noted, suggesting that the recent increase in non-bank deposits may reflect a broader trend in the equity market [8].
