Report Information - Report Name: Treasury Bond Daily Report [1] - Date: January 20, 2026 [2] - Researchers: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [3] Report Highlights - **Report Industry Investment Rating**: Not provided - **Core View**: In January, the bond market is entering a phase where negative factors are gradually materializing. Although the short - term possibility of a second interest rate cut is low and the policy expectations are not high, the central bank still has room for reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts this year, with a loose orientation unchanged. The supply - demand mismatch in the first quarter may present allocation opportunities, and the market may remain volatile in the short term [11][12] Summary by Section 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Performance**: GDP data released in the morning met expectations. Despite the marginal weakening of economic activities in December, the short - term possibility of a second interest rate cut is low, and policy expectations are not high. Coupled with the increased disturbance of the tax period to the capital market this week, treasury bond futures fluctuated weakly and closed slightly lower across the board [8] - **Interest Rate Bonds**: The yields of major inter - bank interest rate bonds with various maturities changed within a narrow range. The decline of long - term active bonds was within 1bp. By 16:30 pm, the yield of the 10 - year treasury bond active bond 250016 reported 1.8405%, down 0.25bp [9] - **Capital Market**: The inter - bank capital market was stable. The net reverse repurchase investment in the open market today was 7.22 billion yuan. The inter - bank capital sentiment index changed little. The overnight DR in the inter - bank deposit market fluctuated within a narrow range around 1.32%. The 7 - day capital interest rate rose 3.42bp to 1.48%. The medium - and long - term capital was stable, and the 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit interest rate fluctuated within a narrow range around 1.63% - 1.64% [10] - **Conclusion**: In January, the bond market's negative factors are gradually being realized. However, the central bank still has room for reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts this year. The supply - demand mismatch in the first quarter may bring allocation opportunities. In the short term, after the release of economic data this week, there will be a 1.5 - month data window period. The implementation of the structural interest rate cut last week may mean entering a policy observation period, and the easing expectations may not significantly increase before the Two Sessions in March, and the market may maintain a volatile trend [11][12] 2.

Core Viewpoint - The Loan Prime Rate (LPR) has remained unchanged for eight consecutive months, aligning with market expectations, with the one-year LPR at 3.0% and the five-year LPR at 3.5% as of January 20, 2026 [1][9]. Summary by Relevant Sections LPR Announcement - The latest LPR was announced by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) on January 20, 2026, with the one-year LPR set at 3.0% and the five-year LPR at 3.5% [1][6]. - This marks the eighth month in a row that the LPR has remained stable since June of the previous year [9]. Mechanism of LPR Calculation - The LPR is determined by 20 banks submitting quotes based on the open market operation rates, with the final rate calculated by removing the highest and lowest quotes and averaging the rest [4][8]. - The LPR serves as a reference for bank loan pricing and is published on the 20th of each month [4]. Recent Monetary Policy Changes - On January 15, 2026, the PBOC announced a reduction in the re-lending and rediscount rates by 0.25 percentage points, with new rates for various terms set at 0.95%, 1.15%, and 1.25% for 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year re-lending respectively [4][10]. - This structural "rate cut" differs from a comprehensive rate cut, as it does not directly lower the LPR but aims to reduce financing costs for banks, which can then offer lower rates to small and micro enterprises [10]. Future Monetary Policy Outlook - The PBOC's vice governor indicated that there is still room for further reductions in reserve requirements and interest rates this year [5]. - Analysts suggest that the recent structural rate cut may reduce the immediate necessity for further rate cuts, and the likelihood of additional cuts may be decreasing to prevent overheating in asset prices [5][11]. - Future monetary policy is expected to remain moderate, with potential adjustments in policy rates anticipated to be limited to 10 basis points and possibly occurring once or twice [11].

Core Viewpoint - The Loan Prime Rate (LPR) remains unchanged for the eighth consecutive month, with the 1-year LPR at 3.0% and the 5-year LPR at 3.5%, aligning with expectations due to stable reference rates [1][6]. Group 1: LPR and Interest Rates - The LPR's stability is attributed to the unchanged 7-day reverse repurchase rate, making a decrease in LPR unlikely [3][8]. - As of December 2025, the weighted average interest rates for new corporate loans and personal housing loans are approximately 3.1%, reflecting a decline of 2.5 and 2.6 percentage points since the second half of 2018 [3][8]. Group 2: Monetary Policy and Future Expectations - The Deputy Governor of the People's Bank of China, Zou Lan, indicated that there is still room for reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cuts and interest rate reductions this year, supported by stable exchange rates and a steady net interest margin for banks [4][9]. - Experts suggest that the recent structural interest rate cuts may delay the timing for a comprehensive interest rate reduction, as the urgency for total rate cuts is not high due to the current economic conditions [4][9]. - Analysts from various institutions expect that any future RRR cuts or interest rate reductions will be implemented flexibly based on real economic conditions [5][10].

【导读】LPR连续8个月保持不变，符合市场预期 中国基金报记者 晨曦 这是LPR自去年6月份以来连续8个月保持不变，符合市场预期。 贷款市场报价利率由各报价行按公开市场操作利率加点形成的方式报价，由全国银行间同业 拆借中心计算得出，为银行贷款提供定价参考。目前，LPR包括1年期和5年期以上两个品 种。 刚刚，最新LPR公布！ 1月20日9时，中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心公布，2026年1月20日贷款市场报 价利率（LPR）为：1年期LPR为3.0%，5年期以上LPR为3.5%。以上LPR在下一次发布LPR 之前有效。 据介绍，这种结构性"降息"与全面降息有很大区别，不是通过下调政策利率带动LPR下行。 再贷款是央行对银行的贷款，不是央行直接向企业发放贷款。下调再贷款、再贴现利率后， 拿到更低成本资金的银行，或以更低利率向小微企业、科技创新、绿色转型等重点领域发放 贷款，降低实体经济综合融资成本。 中国人民银行副行长邹澜1月15日在国新办新闻发布会上表示，今年降准降息还有一定空间。 中国人民银行下调各项再贷款利率有助于降低银行付息成本、稳定净息差，为降息创造一定 空间。 中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬近 ...
