Core Viewpoint - The report discusses the ongoing trend of household deposits migrating to the equity market, highlighting the gradual process and current status of this migration [2][33]. Group 1: Deposit Migration Progress - The trend of deposit migration continues, with a notable increase in the M1 growth rate to 6.0% in August, up by 0.4 percentage points from July, while M2 growth remains stable at 8.8% [3][5]. - The decrease in growth rates for both household and corporate time deposits indicates a shift towards more liquid forms of deposits, driven by lower interest rates on maturing deposits and active capital market performance [3][12]. - Non-bank deposits increased by 550 billion yuan year-on-year in August, although this growth rate has slowed compared to July's 1.39 trillion yuan increase, suggesting that the migration to equity markets is a significant factor [12][19]. Group 2: Capital Market Activity - The capital market showed increased activity in August, with the average daily trading volume in A-shares reaching 2.3 trillion yuan, a 29% increase from July [19]. - The number of new accounts opened on the Shanghai Stock Exchange rose by 35% to 2.65 million in August, indicating heightened investor interest and participation [19][24]. - The ratio of household deposits to total A-share market capitalization remains at a historically moderate level of around 157%, down from a high of approximately 210% earlier this year, reflecting the impact of the recent stock market rally [19][24]. Group 3: Liquidity and Economic Factors - The liquidity environment remains ample, with the central bank's liquidity injection in August increasing by 400 billion yuan year-on-year, keeping interbank market rates low at around 1.5% [24][28]. - However, the growth of real deposits in August was 1.7 trillion yuan, which is 600 billion yuan less than the previous year, primarily due to weakened credit demand and reduced government bond issuance [24][31]. - The pace of cross-border capital inflow has slowed, with the cumulative foreign exchange settlement surplus indicating a shift in capital flow dynamics, although the year-on-year increase in August was still significant at 14.5 billion USD [30][31]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The report suggests that while the trend of deposit migration continues, the pace may slow due to several factors, including reduced deposit creation capacity from fiscal and credit measures, increased investor divergence post-stock market rally, and a slowdown in export growth affecting capital inflows [33]. - The estimated potential for deposit migration remains between 5 to 7 trillion yuan, indicating that this trend may continue to evolve in the medium term [33].
