The one-year interest rate of various re-loans was lowered from the current 1.5% to 1.25%, and the interest rates of other maturity levels were adjusted accordingly [12]. - The central bank improved the structural tools and increased support. For example, it increased the quota of re-loans for scientific and technological innovation and technological transformation by 400 billion yuan, the quota of re-loans to support agriculture and small businesses by 500 billion yuan, and established a re-loan for private enterprises under the re-loans to support agriculture and small businesses, with a quota of 1 trillion yuan [12].

Internally, since 2025, the net interest margin of banks has shown signs of stabilization, remaining at 1.42% for two consecutive quarters. In 2026, there will be a large - scale repricing of long - term deposits such as three - year and five - year deposits, combined with the reduction of various re - loan interest rates, which will help reduce banks' interest - paying costs and stabilize the net interest margin, creating room for interest rate cuts [13].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Views of the Report - Recent price fluctuations of domestic and international fuel oils have continued to widen, with the up - down trends reversing frequently. High - sulfur fuel oil may return to a weak situation in the short term, but there may still be support at the bottom due to the decline in Russian high - sulfur exports.

The estimated value range for FU is 2400 - 2590, and for LU is 2900 - 3150. In the short term, fuel oil prices enter a high - volatility environment with an unclear direction. The FU and LU monthly spread structures have returned to backwardation and may return to contango after the geopolitical issues cool down.
