Core Viewpoint - The new personal consumption loan interest subsidy policy, effective from September 1, aims to provide targeted support for the portion of loans actually used for consumption, differing from previous practices of subsidizing the entire loan amount [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Implementation and Impact - The first batch of loan processing institutions includes 18 national commercial banks and 5 other personal consumption loan providers, selected for their ability to accurately identify the consumption portion of loans [2]. - The policy requires financial institutions to enhance their information systems to ensure that subsidy funds are used for actual consumption, which presents new technical challenges and opportunities for product innovation in the consumer finance sector [1][2][3]. - The policy is expected to significantly impact the market, prompting financial institutions to expand their business by collaborating directly with merchants to better control the flow of funds [1][4].

Group 3: Market Trends and Strategic Directions - Consumer finance companies are increasingly encouraged to explore various consumption scenarios, with a focus on high-frequency consumption areas such as electronics, home appliances, and travel [6]. - The subsidy policy is expected to lower loan interest rates, thereby expanding the cost space for consumer finance companies to seek partnerships with merchants [6][7]. - Collaboration with major channels and large-scale consumption scenarios will become a priority for consumer finance companies, as they aim to leverage their flexibility in developing diverse and refined consumption scene partnerships [7].

Group 1: Investment Ratings - No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The recent rise in the stock market is mainly due to three logics: long - term, the market anticipates more fiscal policies to promote consumption and a recovery in domestic inflation after the easing of Sino - US relations, with foreign capital flowing in and usually buying large - cap growth stocks; medium - term, the anti - involution trend and infrastructure investment on the demand side benefit upstream cyclical sectors; short - term, the capital market has relatively abundant liquidity due to RMB appreciation under a weak US dollar and improved corporate deposit and loan data [1]. - For treasury bond futures, in the short term, the bond market is under pressure due to the recovery of risk appetite, but with no significant changes in the capital and fundamental aspects, it should be treated with a volatile mindset in the long term [3].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, the US PPI in July increased significantly, and the Fed's rate - cut expectations cooled, causing the US dollar index to rebound and global risk appetite to decline. Domestically, the manufacturing PMI in July decreased, and economic growth slowed, but policies may boost consumption, and the extension of the tariff truce period reduced short - term tariff risks, leading to an increase in domestic risk appetite [2]. - Different asset classes have different trends.
