Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Transcript Industry Overview - **Industry**: Macro Research focusing on tariffs, central bank policies, and housing market outlook in the US Key Points and Arguments 1. **Tariff Impacts**: - The US has announced a 15% tariff on Japan and a 19% tariff on the Philippines and Indonesia, indicating a trend of increasing tariffs. The effective US tariff rate is expected to rise by a total of 17 percentage points (pp) by 2027 [1] - This increase in tariffs is estimated to boost US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) prices by approximately 1.7% cumulatively over the next few years, leading to revised core PCE inflation forecasts of 3.3%/2.7%/2.4% year-over-year (yoy) for December 2025/2026/2027, compared to previous forecasts of 3.4%/2.6%/2.0% [1][1] - Higher tariffs are projected to lower GDP growth by around 1pp/0.4pp/0.3pp yoy over the next three years, as a smaller trade deficit offsets the growth drag from reduced consumption and investment [1] 2. **Central Bank Policies**: - The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to maintain unchanged rates and limited shifts in communication, with a potential last rate cut to 1.75% in September [6] - The Federal Reserve (Fed) is anticipated to cut rates in September, with two additional 25 basis point cuts later this year and next year, leading to a terminal rate of 3-3.25% [7] - The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to cut rates at its next meeting due to cumulative disinflation progress in the UK [8] 3. **US Housing Market Outlook**: - The US housing market is facing challenges with a weak spring selling season and rising mortgage rates, leading to expectations of weak residential investment growth for the remainder of the year [12] - National home prices are forecasted to rise only 0.2% this year and 0.8% next year (December-over-December) [12] 4. **US Immigration Trends**: - US net immigration is estimated to have declined from an annualized pace of 0.6 million in April to 0.5 million in June, stabilizing at around 0.5 million annually, down from the pre-pandemic trend of 1.0 million [12] - This slowdown in immigration is expected to lower the breakeven rate of payroll job growth needed to keep the unemployment rate stable to 70,000 per month by the end of 2025, down from an estimated 90,000 currently [12] 5. **Japanese Political Landscape**: - Following recent Upper House elections, the ruling coalition in Japan has lost its majority, leading to expectations of a minority government that will require cooperation with opposition parties for legislative passage [12] - The focus of opposition parties on proposals to cut consumption taxes and increase social security measures suggests an expansionary bias in fiscal policy ahead [12] Additional Important Content - The macroeconomic outlook includes a cautious view on inflation and growth forecasts, with risks skewed slightly to the upside for inflation and downside for growth through 2027 [1] - The ECB's readiness to respond to changes in the economic outlook due to trade policy developments indicates a proactive approach to monetary policy [6] - The overall sentiment reflects a complex interplay between tariff policies, central bank actions, and macroeconomic indicators that could influence investment strategies moving forward [1][6][7][12]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The central bank's mention of "canceling the freeze on pledged bonds" has a neutral impact on the bond market, further confirming the central bank's limited easing attitude. The possibility of significant fluctuations in the money market is low. While the central bank continuously improves monetary policy tools to support government bond issuance and maintain liquidity, it does not want interest rates to decline rapidly, which could lead to increased interest rate risks [6][8][21]. - The current "anti - involution" campaign is in its early stage and has not directly affected the bond market. It mainly affects the bond market indirectly through the stock market, suppressing further declines in bond market interest rates. Whether it will have a significant impact on the bond market in the future depends on the implementation of specific industry policies and their impact on PPI, the boost of price improvements on demand and potential demand - side stimulus policies, and changes in the central bank's monetary policy attitude [6][21]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Market Marginal Changes - **Central Bank's Monetary Policy Attitude**: On July 18, the central bank proposed to cancel the freeze on pledged bonds for bond repurchases. This move can relieve institutional debt pressure, enhance the liquidity of pledged bonds, and improve secondary - market trading activity. It can also prevent short - term interest rates from falling too quickly during subsequent treasury bond trading operations. Overall, it has a neutral impact on the bond market, indicating the central bank's limited easing stance [8]. - **"Anti - Involution" Implementation**: After the central government emphasized "anti - involution" and relevant articles were published, industries such as automobiles, photovoltaics, and cement started to take action. The market associated this with the 2015 - 2016 supply - side reform, which led to rising commodity and stock prices and suppressed the bond market. During the 2015 - 2016 supply - side reform, bond market interest rates first declined and then increased. The factors influencing the change in interest rates included rising commodity prices and continuous improvement in PPI, the implementation of shantytown renovation monetization and a booming real - estate market, and the tightening of the central bank's monetary policy. In the current "anti - involution" campaign, due to incomplete policy implementation, high household leverage ratios, and the central bank's continued loose monetary policy, it has not directly affected the bond market but mainly influenced it through the stock market [12][13][20].

Core Viewpoint - The global economic outlook is increasingly uncertain, with many central banks maintaining a cautious stance and extending their easing policies in response to external risks and weakening demand [1][12]. Group 1: Central Bank Policies - The Federal Reserve has resisted pressure from President Trump to raise interest rates, keeping the federal funds rate steady at 4.25%-4.50% amid concerns over economic uncertainty [2][12]. - The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England have both lowered interest rates, with the ECB reducing rates by 50 basis points in recent months, while the Bank of England has room for a potential 25 basis point cut [4][5]. - The Bank of Japan has maintained its policy rate at 0.50% and slowed its bond purchase reduction, indicating a cautious approach to monetary policy normalization [4][12]. Group 2: Inflation and Economic Growth - Inflation pressures have eased in the Eurozone, with the annual inflation rate dropping to 1.9%, prompting the ECB to lower rates to stimulate economic growth [5][12]. - The UK economy contracted by 0.3% in April, influenced by U.S. tariff policies, leading to a cautious approach from the Bank of England regarding future rate cuts [5][12]. - Emerging markets have shown a mixed response, with countries like Russia and Mexico cutting rates significantly, while Brazil and Turkey have unexpectedly raised rates due to inflation concerns [7][11]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts expect that the global economic downturn risks will continue to rise, but weakening demand may alleviate inflation pressures, leading to a cautious continuation of easing policies by various central banks [1][12]. - The Federal Reserve and ECB are anticipated to keep their easing windows open until at least September, while the Bank of England may also consider further cuts if economic conditions do not improve [1][12].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The expected expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the potential for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, continuous gold purchases by central banks worldwide, and persistent geopolitical risks may make precious metal prices more likely to rise than fall.

Global Asset Price Performance - Global bond yields have generally risen, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increasing by 6 basis points due to strong employment data reducing rate cut expectations [1] - Major global stock markets showed mixed performance, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq indices rising by 1.7%, 2.3%, and 1.6% respectively [1][3] - Commodity prices for gold and crude oil have rebounded this week, while the U.S. dollar index fell by 0.1% [1] Major Central Bank Monetary Policies - Strong employment data has led to a decrease in rate cut expectations from the Federal Reserve, with the probability of a rate cut in July dropping from 20.7% to 4.7% [4] - The Bank of Japan's governor indicated that while inflation is above the 2% target, the underlying inflation rate remains slightly below target, reducing expectations for rate hikes [4] U.S. Economic Dynamics - In June, non-farm payrolls increased by 147,000, with government jobs contributing half of the new positions, while private sector job growth slowed significantly [12] - The unemployment rate decreased to 4.1%, but the labor force participation rate fell to 62.3%, indicating a trend of cooling employment [12] - The ISM Manufacturing PMI rose slightly to 49, but new orders continued to contract for the fifth consecutive month due to tariff policies [12] Economic Dynamics in Other Regions - Eurozone inflation has shown signs of stabilizing, with the CPI rising slightly to 2%, and the ECB is expected to consider a rate cut by the end of the year [29] - In the UK, a failed welfare reform has raised concerns about potential tax increases and borrowing, leading to a significant rise in long-term bond yields [29] - Japan's consumer spending increased by 4.7% year-on-year in May, driven by higher expenditures on automobiles and dining out [30]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - In June, the capital market was loose with a slight downward shift in the capital center under the central bank's care. In July, the capital market may continue to be moderately loose due to favorable factors, but it may not loosen significantly [2][4][6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 6 - Month Review: Central Bank's Care Leads to Slight Downward Shift in Capital Center - **Capital Market Looseness**: In June, the capital market remained loose, with most - term capital centers moving down. DR001, DR007, and DR014 operation centers decreased by 11bp, 2bp, and 1bp respectively compared to May. DR001 mostly operated below the policy rate, and the deviation of DR007 from the policy rate "anti - seasonally" narrowed [2][12]. - **Central Bank's Warm Attitude**: The central bank showed a warm attitude. It conducted two outright reverse - repurchase operations in June with early announcements, net - injecting 2000 billion yuan. MLF continued to increase, with a net injection of 118 billion yuan in June. The central bank's total net - injected funds in June were the second - highest among the same periods since 2018 [16]. - **Inter - bank Certificate of Deposit (NCD)**: In June, the maturity scale of NCDs reached a record high, and the issuance scale was the second - highest in history. However, the NCD issuance rate, after rising in mid - to - late May, started to decline in June under the central bank's long - term capital injection. The R - DR spread seasonally widened [3][19][21]. 3.2 7 - Month Outlook: Capital Market May Continue to be Moderately Loose under Favorable Factors - **Historical Seasonal Pattern**: Historically, capital rates in July tend to decline seasonally. Since 2018, the capital market in July has been more relaxed than in June, mainly manifested by the narrowing of the deviation of DR007 from the policy rate [4][24]. - **Exchange Rate Factor**: The recent dissipation of RMB depreciation pressure and the exchange rate approaching 7.15 mean that the current exchange - rate environment no longer restricts the central bank's monetary easing [4]. - **Central Bank's Mention of "Preventing Capital Idling"**: Although the central bank mentioned "preventing capital idling" in the second - quarter monetary policy meeting, since 2024, when this statement was made, the capital rate did not rise significantly. The central bank's frequent mention of it in 2025 may not be directly related to a change in its attitude [5][31][32]. - **Liquidity Gap**: In July, the net financing pressure of government bonds will slightly increase by 80 billion yuan compared to June. The increase in government deposits may widen the liquidity gap. Considering the maturity of monetary tools, the liquidity gap will be 2.06 trillion yuan. Assuming the central bank conducts equal - amount roll - overs, the estimated excess - reserve ratio in July is about 1.3%, slightly lower than in June [6][37][42].
