Summary by Sections Credit Market Analysis - In April, new credit was 280 billion yuan, a decrease of 450 billion yuan year-on-year, attributed to the seasonal nature of credit in this period and the impact of debt replacement [4]. - Corporate loans saw a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.5 trillion yuan, reflecting weak demand in the corporate sector [4][15]. - Retail credit demand remains under pressure, with a net decrease of 521.6 billion yuan in household loans, indicating a lack of sustained momentum in the housing market [4][18].

Core Viewpoint - The financial data for April indicates a significant impact on credit due to external factors, with bills becoming a major support for credit growth [2][6].

Group 2: Deposits - Total RMB deposits decreased by 440 billion in April, with significant changes in the structure, particularly in non-bank financial institutions which saw an increase of 1.57 trillion [12]. - The increase in non-bank financial deposits is attributed to a shift in investment preferences due to volatility in the bond market [12]. Group 3: Social Financing - Social financing increased by 1.16 trillion in April, with a growth rate of 8.7%, marking a significant rise due to a low base effect [13]. - Government bonds played a crucial role, with new issuance reaching 9.76 trillion, a year-on-year increase of approximately 1.07 trillion [13]. Group 4: Conclusions and Implications - The April data reflects a seasonal decline in credit, exacerbated by tariff impacts, with expectations of a potential decline in growth rates as base effects fade [6][17]. - The central bank is responding by increasing structural relending quotas to stimulate credit demand in the service sector [17].

Core Insights - The report emphasizes that identifying the performance turning point is crucial for the market to move out of the bottom-seeking phase, with market bottoms typically leading performance turning points by 1-2 quarters [2] - The report highlights the importance of combining leading indicators with coincident indicators for better economic bottom assessments, as relying solely on coincident indicators may lead to delayed confirmations [2] - The key to breaking out of the bottom-seeking phase lies in the sustainability of M1 recovery, with household medium and long-term loans being a more critical indicator [2] Economic Indicators - The April manufacturing PMI significantly dropped to 49%, indicating a contraction for the first time since February, down from 50.5% [4] - M1 showed a slight year-on-year decline, while M2 increased, and the total social financing stock rose year-on-year, indicating a rebound in excess liquidity [7] - The total social financing increment in April was 1.16 trillion yuan, which is 12.243 billion yuan more than the same period last year, with a slight recovery in new government bonds but a negative year-on-year change in new RMB loans [9] Leading Indicators - The report notes that M2 leads M1, which in turn leads the stock market bottom, with M2 showing a year-on-year increase of 8% in April, up from 7% [7] - The social financing pulse increased to 26.16% in April, up from 25.41%, with new government bonds showing a slight recovery while new RMB loans turned negative [9] - The report indicates that the decline in household medium and long-term loans is closely related to the real estate sales cycle, with April showing a year-on-year decrease of 12.97% for household medium and long-term loans [12] Monetary Policy and Market Sentiment - The report discusses that the narrowing of the decline in household and corporate loans is essential for market recovery, with the April average DR007 rate marginally dropping to 1.73% [15] - The central bank's recent decision to lower the reserve requirement ratio and policy interest rates is aimed at stabilizing the market [15] - The report mentions that the recovery in social financing and M2, along with improved export performance, reflects a resilient Chinese economy despite the macroeconomic downturn [18]

Core Viewpoints - The recovery in March credit data is primarily driven by an increase in short-term loans from enterprises, while the growth of medium- to long-term loans, which reflect enterprise investment demand, remains relatively subdued. The total new credit in March reached 3.64 trillion yuan, significantly exceeding the market expectation of 2.93 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 550 billion yuan [2][8][47] - The year-on-year growth rate of social financing stock rebounded by 0.2 percentage points to 8.4%, mainly driven by the advance of fiscal financing, which may become a key feature of fiscal policy execution this year. In March, net financing from government bonds reached 1.48 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.02 trillion yuan year-on-year [2][14][47] Credit and Financing Data - In March, new credit totaled 3.64 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 550 billion yuan, primarily due to the rise in short-term loans from enterprises.

Investment Rating - The report indicates a positive outlook for M1 growth, suggesting a potential upward trend in the coming quarters [11][35]. Core Insights - M1 growth showed a rebound trend in Q4 2024, but experienced a decline again in early 2025 due to the Spring Festival effect. The report explores the factors driving M1 growth changes and whether a new upward trend has begun [11][35]. - The report identifies five key factors influencing M1 growth: fiscal policy, monetary policy, entity activity, financial system, and external factors. It highlights that fiscal policy has become the primary driver of M1 growth, especially in 2024 [20][35]. - The report emphasizes that the contribution of entity demand to M1 growth has weakened significantly since 2018, while fiscal policy's contribution has increased, reaching 7.3 percentage points in 2024 [35][41]. Summary by Sections 1. Changes in M1 - M1 growth rebounded starting October 2024, reaching 1.2% in December, but slowed to 0.4% in January 2025. The government bond issuance accelerated from August 2024, contributing to M1's recovery [11][12][35]. - The new M1 calculation includes personal demand deposits, which smooths out the impact of seasonal factors like the Spring Festival [11][13][35]. 2. Factors Driving M1 Growth: Insights from the Five-Factor Model - The report notes that the average annual contribution of entity demand to M1 growth has dropped to 2.2 percentage points in 2024, compared to an average of 10 percentage points from 2018 to 2021 [20][35]. - The financial system's contribution to M1 growth has been negative in recent years, reflecting the drag from interbank fund circulation [35][41]. 3. Is M1 Entering an Upward Cycle? - Historical data shows that M1 growth has typically rebounded significantly during previous cycles, with increases of over 10 percentage points lasting more than a year [41][45]. - The report suggests that while fiscal policy may drive M1 growth, the current recovery in entity demand remains weak, and the central bank's monetary policy focus is on stabilizing bank interest margins rather than large-scale liquidity injections [45][49].
