Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - In early October, the bill rate dropped rapidly. The transfer and discount yield of 3M state-owned and joint-stock bank drafts across the year was only 0.47%. The expectation of real - economy credit supply within the year still needs to be boosted, and narrow - sense liquidity has an endogenous basis for loosening [1][2][10]. - Although narrow - sense liquidity has an endogenous basis for loosening, the central bank still emphasizes "preventing capital idling" in the third - quarter monetary policy meeting. The situation of a "lower limit" for repo rates still holds, and the yield range of 1 - year state - owned and joint - stock bank inter - bank certificates of deposit may be between 1.6% - 1.65% [3][11]. Summary by Directory 1. 10 - early - October Bill Rate Rapid Decline - The "five - factor method" shows that central bank investment, commercial bank credit supply, and fiscal factors may all be favorable to the capital market in the fourth quarter, indicating an endogenous basis for loosening of narrow - sense liquidity. The rapid decline in the transfer and discount yield of 3M state - owned and joint - stock bank drafts across the year in early October implies poor expectations for real - economy credit supply in the fourth quarter by commercial banks, which is favorable to narrow - sense liquidity. On October 9, the transfer and discount yields of overnight, 7 - day, 1M, 3M, and 6M state - owned and joint - stock bank drafts were 1.28%, 1.28%, 1.19%, 0.47%, and 0.77% respectively [2][10]. 2. Narrow - sense Liquidity 2.1 Central Bank Operations: Continuous Net Investment in Outright Repos - Short - term liquidity: In the past week (October 9 - 10), the central bank's pledged repos had a net withdrawal of 16423 billion yuan. As of October 10, the central bank's repo balance was 10210 billion yuan, significantly lower than on September 30 but still slightly higher than the seasonal level in previous years. The commercial bank system's excess reserves still depend on central bank investment [12]. - Medium - term liquidity: In October, the total maturity amount of outright repos was 13000 billion yuan, and the MLF maturity was 7000 billion yuan. On October 9, the central bank renewed 11000 billion yuan of 3M outright repos, with an excess renewal of 3000 billion yuan [13]. 2.2 Institution's Fund Lending and Borrowing Situation: Strong Supply and Demand - Fund supply: On October 10, large - scale banks' net fund lending (flow concept) was 38608 billion yuan, an increase of 14269 billion yuan compared to September 30.

The leverage ratio of non - legal person products was 112%, a decrease of 0.44 percentage points compared to September 30 [26]. 2.3 Repo Market Transaction Situation: Volume Increase and Price Decrease at the Beginning of the Month - Fund volume and price: In the past week, the volume of the inter - bank pledged repo market increased while the price decreased, in line with the seasonal pattern at the beginning of the month.

The median R001 was 1.37%, a decrease of 9bp compared to September 29 - 30. The median spread between R001 and DR001 was 4.4bp, a decrease of 6.3bp; the median spread between GC001 and R001 was 13.2bp, an increase of 2.3bp, indicating small liquidity friction [28][30]. - Fund sentiment index: At the beginning of the month, the fund market was seasonally loose, and the fund sentiment index was around 50, generally loosening in the afternoon [32]. 2.4 Interest Rate Swaps: Slight Increase The 1 - year FR007 IRS interest rate decreased compared to last week. The median 1 - year FR007 IRS this week was 1.56%, a decrease of 2bp compared to last week, and the interest rate was at the 12% quantile since 2020 [33]. 3. Government Bonds: Low Net Payment Pressure for Government Bonds in the Coming Week 3.1 Next Week's Net Payment of Government Bonds - Affected by the holiday, the net payment of government bonds was small in the past week. In the coming week, the expected net payment of government bonds is 852 billion yuan, with a relatively low overall net payment pressure.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The central bank's Q3 monetary policy regular meeting continues the "supportive" monetary policy idea. While "maintaining abundant liquidity", it also "prevents fund idling", and the pattern of "ample quantity and stable price" in narrow - sense liquidity may continue. The mention of "implementing various monetary policy measures and fully releasing policy effects" does not necessarily mean that the focus of monetary policy is on existing policies, and incremental policies can also be expected [1][3]. - The cross - quarter capital market may be relatively loose. The cross - quarter capital price will first rise and then fall. The central bank's injection, fiscal expenditure, and smooth bank financing may contribute to a loose cross - quarter capital pattern [2]. 3.

After the central bank's large - scale injection of 14D reverse repurchase on Friday, the cross - quarter capital market significantly loosened [33]. - **Capital price**: Affected by the new - share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange and the central bank's reverse - repurchase injection falling short of expectations, capital interest rates rose from Tuesday to Thursday.

The net financing scale of core net - financing providers in the non - banking system (money - market funds, wealth - management products, and other institutions) decreased slightly. In terms of different maturities, large - scale banks' net financing is mainly overnight; funds and securities firms' net financing is mainly R001; insurance companies and other products have longer financing maturities, mainly R007; money - market funds have a small amount of net financing in R001 and a large amount of net financing in R007 and R014 [46]. 3.1.5 Inter - bank Certificates of Deposit: Continuous Net Repayment, and the Long - term Liability Pressure of Banks May Be Controllable - **Issuance situation**: In the past week, the total issuance of certificates of deposit was 673.6 billion yuan, with a net repayment of 308.6 billion yuan.
