Report Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Views - To reach the level of moderately developed countries by 2035, the official interpretation corresponds to a nominal GDP growth rate of 3.7% or a real GDP growth rate of 4.16% in the next 10 years. The lower - bound requirements for the real GDP growth rate during the 15th and 16th Five - Year Plans are around 4.5% and 4% respectively. The relationship between economic growth and interest rates is positive, but their relative positions are not fixed. Considering inflation, the nominal GDP growth rate in the next 10 years may range from 3% to 6%, and the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate during the 15th Five - Year Plan may range from 1.2% to 2.4%. Based on the neutral interest rate theory, the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate center is 1.5%, and the low point can be lower. The economy may still be in a weak recovery this quarter, and the bond market is in a favorable position. With the upcoming implementation of the new regulations on fund sales, it is recommended to seize the opportunity to go long, and interest rates are expected to hit a new low by the end of the year [2]. - There are two ways to view China's economic growth rate in the next decade: reaching a per - capita GDP of $20,000 and doubling the per - capita GDP compared to 2020 (at 2020 constant prices), corresponding to a nominal growth rate of 3.70% and a real growth rate of 4.16% respectively. By back - calculation, the average annual GDP growth rates during the 15th and 16th Five - Year Plans are about 4.5% and 4.0% [2]. - Comparing with overseas countries, interest rates are positively correlated with nominal GDP growth rates, but there is no consistent conclusion on their relative positions and the spread level, which reflects the strength of endogenous demand and the inflation center. Currently, the quarterly average of China's nominal GDP interest rate minus the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate is about 2%, which is slightly higher than the overseas level this year but neutral compared to overseas history. Combining the golden rule and the neutral interest rate theory, China's actual situation is "real GDP growth rate - 4+1" [2]. - Assuming different inflation scenarios (negative, slightly positive, and normal), the nominal GDP growth rate may range from 3% to 6%. From the lower - bound perspective, if the nominal GDP decreases by 1 percentage point, the interest rate decline should be less than 1 percentage point, with the interest rate lows during the 15th and 16th Five - Year Plans at 1.2% and 0.7% respectively. From the upper - bound perspective, considering the relative position between the nominal GDP high point in 2021 and the interest rate, the interest rate high point is about 2.4% [2]. Summary by Directory 1. Potential Growth Rate and Appropriate Interest Rate Level 1.1 Future Growth Rates in the Next Two Five - Year Plans - Referring to the 2035 long - term goal, two assumptions are considered: reaching a per - capita GDP of $20,000 by 2035, with a 3.90% annual compound growth rate of per - capita nominal GDP in the next 10 years; doubling the per - capita GDP compared to 2020 (at 2020 constant prices), with a 4.36% annual compound growth rate of per - capita real GDP. Considering the population decline, the average annual GDP growth rate requirements by 2035 are a nominal growth rate of 3.70% and a real growth rate of 4.16%. The lower - bound requirements for the average annual real GDP growth rate during the 15th and 16th Five - Year Plans are about 4.5% and 4.0% respectively [6][7][8] 1.2 Relationship between Economy and Interest Rates - **Overseas Comparison**: Static analysis shows a significant positive correlation between GDP growth rates and broad - spectrum interest rates. Dynamically, the centers of nominal GDP growth rates and interest rates are not completely consistent. The relative position between interest rates and nominal GDP depends on monetary policy goals and central bank attitudes, reflecting the strength of endogenous demand and the inflation center. There is no unified conclusion on the appropriate spread between nominal GDP growth rates and long - term interest rates. Different periods in the US, UK, Germany, and Japan have different spreads. In China, long - term interest rates are always lower than the nominal GDP level, showing financial repression, and the spread has been compressing in the long - term but fluctuates annually. In the short - term, the spread is positively correlated with the nominal GDP growth rate [12][13][17] - **Theoretical Level**: Based on the "golden rule" of economic growth theory, the long - term interest rate should be slightly lower than or equal to a country's GDP growth rate. Currently, LPR and general loan interest rates are comparable to the GDP growth rate, while the 10Y Treasury bond interest rate is significantly lower. According to the neutral interest rate theory, emerging market countries' neutral interest rates are about 4 percentage points lower than the GDP growth rate, and nominal interest rates need to add 2% inflation expectations. In China, the long - term interest rate is measured by "real GDP growth rate - 3", indicating that the real GDP growth rate may not reflect the potential growth rate or the inflation expectation is about 1%. Assuming a 4.5% real GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter, the long - term interest rate center can be estimated at 1.5% [22] 1.3 Impact of Declining Economic Growth on Interest Rates - Considering different inflation scenarios (inflation returning to 1 - 2% or higher, 0 - 1%, and remaining negative), the nominal GDP growth rate will change accordingly, and interest rates will fluctuate with the nominal GDP growth rate. In the most optimistic scenario for the bond market during the 15th Five - Year Plan, if the nominal and real GDP growth rate centers decline by 0.5 percentage points, the long - term bond interest rate decline will be less than 0.5 percentage points, and the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate is unlikely to be lower than 1.2%. In the pessimistic scenario, if the nominal GDP rebounds, and assuming a 6% rebound high point, the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate high point will be below 2.4%. According to the neutral interest rate theory, if the real GDP growth rate center reaches 4%, the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate center can gradually decline to 1% [24][25] 2. Central Bank Bond Purchases and Bond Market Interest Rates - From November 3rd to 7th, the yield of the 10Y active Treasury bond fluctuated upward. The 10 - year Treasury bond yield increased by 1.88BP to 1.81%, and the 10 - year national development bond yield increased by 2.35BP to 1.95%. The 1 - year and 10 - year Treasury bond term spread narrowed by 0.31BP to 40.97BP, while the 1 - year and 10 - year national development bond term spread remained at 33.68BP. Various factors such as central bank reverse - repurchase net withdrawal, bond purchase announcements, stock market fluctuations, and policy rumors affected the bond market during the week [27][28][29] 3. Decline in Wealth Management Product Scale - As of November 2nd, the wealth management product scale was 32.52 billion yuan, with a weekly decline of 74.79 million yuan. From October 27th to November 2nd, the new - issue wealth management product scale was 254.44 million yuan. In November, the scale of fixed - income products decreased. By product type, cash - management products decreased by 76 million yuan, fixed - income products decreased by 290 million yuan, and others had different changes. By product risk, low - risk and medium - low - risk products decreased, while medium - risk and medium - high - risk products had small increases. The net - break rate decreased last week. As of November 5th, the 7 - day average annualized yields of money funds and cash - management products were 1.08% and 1.3% respectively [33][34] 4. Decline in Duration and Stable Disagreement Degree - From November 3rd to 7th, the duration of public funds decreased by 0.04 to 2.38 compared to October 31st, with a weekly average of 2.41. The public fund duration disagreement degree on November 7th remained the same as on October 31st at 0.36 [42]

Economic Overview - During the "14th Five-Year Plan" (2021-2025), China's nominal GDP is expected to exceed 140 trillion yuan, an increase of over 35 trillion yuan compared to the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" [3] - The average annual growth rate of real GDP from 2021 to 2024 is projected at 5.5%, while nominal GDP is expected to grow at an average of 6.9% [3] - By the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan," nominal GDP growth is anticipated to be lower than real GDP growth, indicating a need for price level recovery [4] Future Growth Targets - To achieve the goal of reaching a per capita GDP of 27,000 USD by 2035, the average annual nominal GDP growth during the "15th Five-Year Plan" (2026-2030) should be at least 5% [5] - The ideal target for nominal GDP growth could be around 6%, providing a buffer against uncertainties such as exchange rate fluctuations [5] - The average annual growth rate of real GDP should ideally be maintained at approximately 4.8% during the "15th Five-Year Plan" [46] Policy Recommendations - It is suggested to set clear economic growth targets during the "15th Five-Year Plan" to address demand insufficiency and promote supply-demand balance [50] - A comprehensive target system is proposed, including a nominal GDP growth target of 5%, real GDP growth of 4.8%, and a shift in overall price growth from negative to positive [52] - Specific targets for consumption and income growth include a 6.5% annual increase in resident consumption and a 6% increase in resident income [52]

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the bond market and financial data predictions for August 2025, highlighting the expected decline in social financing growth and its potential negative impact on economic growth and fixed asset investment [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Social Financing Growth**: - Social financing growth is expected to decline significantly from 9.0% at the end of July to approximately 8.1% by year-end, which may negatively affect economic growth and fixed asset investment [2][3]. - Historical data indicates that social financing growth typically leads nominal GDP growth by one to two quarters [3][4]. 2. **Bond Market Outlook**: - The bond market is anticipated to remain volatile, with the 10-year government bond yield expected to fluctuate between 1.6% and 1.8% [1][5]. - Current bond market conditions are characterized by low revenue growth for listed companies, aligning with the bond market's performance [1][5]. 3. **Stock Market Performance**: - Despite the stock market outperforming expectations, with the All A index doubling since last year, the operating performance of listed companies has not significantly improved [6]. - The actual growth rate of the Chinese economy remains low, indicating that the bond market may continue to experience volatility [6]. 4. **Government Leverage and Financing Demand**: - There is a lack of motivation for individuals and market-oriented enterprises to increase leverage, leading to a reliance on government leverage to drive financing demand [7]. - The anticipated increase in government bond issuance may not offset the ongoing weakness in other financing demands, posing challenges to the overall financial environment [7]. 5. **Investment Recommendations**: - A bullish stance on 30-year long-term government bonds is recommended, with a focus on high-value products such as 30-year national development bonds and 10-year capital bonds [12][13]. - Investors with lower risk tolerance are advised to consider long positions in 10-year national development bonds due to potential price increases when yields decline [12][13]. 6. **Southbound Trading Expansion**: - The expansion of southbound trading requires attention to the choice of custody models and the liquidity of the offshore RMB market, which can impact offshore RMB bond yields [14][16]. - The differences between multi-level direct custody and global custody models are highlighted, with implications for investment range and associated costs [15]. 7. **Regulatory Environment**: - The progress of domestic debt replacement for offshore debt is hindered by existing barriers, with few successful cases reported [17]. - Continuous observation of regulatory attitudes is necessary to determine if channels for domestic replacement can be opened, which would support the reduction of offshore credit risk [17][18]. Additional Important Points - The central bank's loose monetary policy and declining bank liability costs support the value of government bond allocations [1][9]. - The average cost of bank liabilities is expected to decrease further, enhancing the attractiveness of government bonds [9]. - The liquidity of the offshore RMB market is a critical factor influencing offshore RMB bond yields, with current conditions indicating manageable risks [16]. This summary encapsulates the essential insights and forecasts from the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the current financial landscape and investment strategies.

Macro Strategy - The core viewpoint is that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a nominal GDP growth rate of at least 5.5% is crucial to achieve the long-term goal of reaching the per capita GDP level of a moderately developed country by 2035 [1][17] - The recovery of nominal GDP growth is primarily dependent on price levels, with a target of returning the GDP deflator index to an average annual growth of +1.7% from 2012 to 2025, combined with a real GDP growth rate of over 4.4% [1][17] - The report emphasizes the importance of boosting consumer demand to address the historical negative growth in service prices, which is not effectively resolved by supply-side policies alone [1][17] Fixed Income Analysis - The report highlights that non-ETF component bonds of the Sci-Tech bonds exhibit higher valuation yields and credit spreads compared to ETF component bonds, indicating a relative value in switching to these non-component bonds [3][4] - It is noted that 14.79% of the non-ETF component bonds have credit spreads exceeding 40 basis points, suggesting a larger selection of bonds with potential spread compression compared to ETF component bonds [4] - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to have a more profound and longer-lasting impact compared to previous supply-side reforms, with a focus on market-driven measures rather than heavy administrative intervention [5][6] Company-Specific Insights - Satellite Chemical's H1 2025 revenue reached 23.46 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.9%, with net profit of 2.74 billion yuan, up 33.4% year-on-year, indicating strong performance [10][11] - The company has resolved supply chain risks related to U.S.-China ethane trade, allowing for stable operations moving forward [11] - The high-performance catalyst new material project has officially launched, with plans to invest 3 billion yuan, which is expected to drive future growth [11] Industry Performance - The report on Guizhou Moutai indicates a stable revenue growth of 9.2% year-on-year in H1 2025, with a net profit increase of 8.9%, although series liquor sales faced pressure [16] - The company maintains a profit forecast of 93.2 billion yuan for 2025, with slight adjustments for 2026 and 2027, reflecting a stable outlook despite market challenges [16] - The report on 361 Degrees shows steady growth driven by e-commerce and offline efficiency improvements, maintaining a profit forecast of 1.3 billion yuan for 2025 [13]

Economic Growth Targets - The nominal GDP growth target during the 14th Five-Year Plan period is set at no less than 5.5% to ensure the achievement of the 2035 vision goal[1] - To reach the 2035 goal of per capita GDP at the level of a moderately developed country, nominal GDP growth must average at least 5.4% over the next decade[1] - The average nominal GDP growth over the past eight quarters was only 4.2%, indicating a gap from the medium- to long-term target[1] Inflation and Economic Growth - The key to recovering nominal GDP growth lies in the price level; if the GDP deflator returns to the average level of 1.7% from 2012 to 2025, nominal GDP growth could reach 6.1%[1] - The GDP deflator averaged -0.9% over the past eight quarters, with a significant negative growth in service prices, necessitating a boost in consumer demand to recover service prices[1][2] Long-term Economic Strategy - The long-term economic growth strategy consists of three levels: the highest is the "three-step" strategy, the middle is the doubling target, and the lowest is the annual growth target[1] - Achieving the doubling target requires an average annual growth rate of 4.4% from 2020 to 2035, with a projected average growth rate of 5.4% for 2021-2025[1] Risks and Considerations - Risks to achieving the 2035 goals include potential long-term appreciation of the RMB against the USD, which could enhance the dollar-denominated per capita GDP[2] - Changes in real estate, consumption, exports, and population dynamics could significantly impact future economic growth and price levels[2]

Attention is drawn to the impact of tariff conflicts on companies establishing overseas warehouses for cross-border stockpiling, which may disrupt export rhythms [5] - The macroeconomic deep report highlights that the economic recovery in June shows a good momentum, with the actual GDP growth in the second quarter at 5.2%. The growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in June increased by 6.8% year-on-year, indicating a significant divergence between supply and demand [6]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the economic performance in the second quarter, highlighting the need for a rebalancing of quantity and price in GDP growth, with a focus on consumer spending and investment control measures [1][5]. Group 1: Economic Growth Analysis - In Q2, GDP growth was 5.2%, slightly down from 5.4% in Q1, while the cumulative growth for the first half of the year was 5.3% [3][19]. - The nominal GDP growth rate for Q2 was 3.9%, with a significant contribution from quantity at 132% and a negative contribution from price at -30.6% [3][19]. - The contribution rates to GDP growth were as follows: final consumption expenditure at 52.3%, capital formation at 24.7%, and net exports at 23% [22].
