Core Viewpoint - The likelihood of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut has increased, alleviating uncertainties in the A/H stock markets, while the impact of U.S. tariff policies on the Chinese economy is diminishing [1] Group 1: Federal Reserve Interest Rate Cut - Three potential scenarios for the timing of the Fed's rate cut are outlined: 1. A 25 basis point cut in September if August non-farm payrolls are between 50,000 and 150,000, with an unemployment rate of 4.1%-4.4% [3] 2. A 50 basis point cut if non-farm payrolls fall below 50,000 and the unemployment rate exceeds 4.4% [3] 3. No cut if non-farm payrolls exceed 150,000 and the unemployment rate is below 4.1%, along with a CPI increase of over 0.4% [3] Group 2: Impact on Chinese Assets - The Fed's monetary easing is expected to significantly support the A/H stock markets, leading to a substantial increase in foreign capital inflow [3] - The appreciation of the RMB may lead to a "slow bull" market for A/H stocks, particularly benefiting sectors like innovative pharmaceuticals, leading internet companies in Hong Kong, and the new energy industry [3][4] Group 3: Dollar Liquidity Spillover - The spillover effect of U.S. dollar liquidity post-Fed rate cut is expected to positively impact Chinese assets, benefiting both the A/H stock market and the Chinese bond market [4] - The bond market is anticipated to attract more capital, with a trend of simultaneous gains in both stocks and bonds emerging [4] - Chinese concept stocks, especially in technology sectors, are likely to attract more investment due to lower overseas financing costs [4] Group 4: Asset Allocation in A/H Stocks - Current market conditions suggest that A/H stock allocation remains attractive, particularly in growth sectors such as technology, new energy, and innovative pharmaceuticals [5] - The Fed's rate cut is likely to provide additional funding support for these sectors, with expectations of continued benefits from international capital inflows in the coming months [5]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the current state of the financial market, highlighting a balanced and slightly loose liquidity environment, with minor fluctuations in interest rates and a stable manufacturing PMI, leading to a modest rise in the stock market [3][7]. Group 1: Market Overview - The central bank conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of 182.7 billion yuan, with 288.4 billion yuan maturing today, resulting in a net withdrawal of 105.7 billion yuan [4]. - The liquidity environment at the beginning of the month is balanced and slightly loose, with DR001 around 1.31% and DR007 around 1.45% [5]. - The official manufacturing PMI for August was reported at 49.4, aligning with expectations, while the manufacturing PMI for China was at 50.5, indicating a return to the expansion zone [7].

Core Viewpoint - The phenomenon of "deposit migration" is fundamentally an asset price comparison effect following the reduction of deposit interest rates, which has led to increased acceptance of equity assets as funds are released from low-risk investments [1][8]. Group 1: Underlying Logic of Deposit Migration - The driving force behind deposit migration stems from the continuous decline in deposit interest rates, prompting residents to seek new asset opportunities as old asset returns diminish [2][8]. - There exists a clear seesaw effect between resident deposits (especially fixed deposits) and deposits in non-bank financial institutions, with the timing and final flow influenced by the macroeconomic environment and risk appetite [8]. Group 2: Impact on Stock and Bond Markets - The current round of deposit migration began in June 2023, initially flowing into money market funds and bond funds, with a noticeable increase in equity fund inflows only after the "924" policy [2][8]. - Theoretically, the decline in risk-free interest rates should lead to a simultaneous rise in both stock and bond markets, but due to transmission lags or liquidity traps, these markets may experience staggered movements, as seen in previous years [8]. Group 3: Unique Aspects of the Current Deposit Migration - Unlike previous instances, the current liquidity bull market does not aim to devalue the currency, as the central bank has not engaged in extensive monetary easing but rather focused on guiding capital back into the market [2][8]. - The recent increase in risk appetite is a result of significant macroeconomic changes, with the central bank's continuous guidance on exchange rate expectations reinforcing domestic risk appetite and restoring the seesaw effect between stocks and bonds [8].

Group 1 - The bond market is expected to experience weak fluctuations in the short term due to high market risk appetite and the influence of stock market performance on bond market dynamics [1][4] - Recent policies focus on "anti-involution," promoting consumption, and stabilizing expectations, leading to a strong stock market while the bond market remains weak [1][3] - The "seesaw" effect between stocks and bonds is evident, where optimistic economic expectations lead to increased stock allocation and reduced bond allocation, and vice versa [1][2] Group 2 - Historical data shows that there have been four notable "dual bull" markets in stocks and bonds since 2016, typically lasting less than one month and occurring when economic fundamentals remain stable [2] - The current strong stock market is driven by global liquidity easing and a stable domestic economic and policy environment, attracting steady capital inflow [3][4] - The bond market has shown relative resilience due to stable institutional liabilities and controlled redemption pressures, with a strong demand for government bonds despite rising yields [4]

Group 2: Monetary Policy and Market Sentiment - The central bank has responded to liquidity conditions by increasing reverse repos and MLF, indicating a generally accommodative stance [4]. - The external environment has shifted with Powell's dovish remarks at the Jackson Hole meeting, which may open up more room for domestic monetary easing [4]. - There is a notable divergence in market sentiment, with some institutions opting to remain cautious as public fund durations have decreased [4]. Group 3: Investment Strategy - As the equity market's growth slows, long-term bond yields are expected to enter a downward trend, supported by a loose monetary environment [4]. - The potential for a dual bull market in both stocks and bonds is highlighted, suggesting that investors should focus on duration strategies and consider opportunities in the 10-year government bond ETF (511260) [4].

Group 1 - The core phenomenon of simultaneous rise in stocks and bonds is a rare occurrence, typically indicating a "seesaw" effect between these asset classes, but current liquidity easing signals have led to this unusual market behavior [2][3] - The Federal Reserve's policy shift, particularly the dovish signals from Chairman Powell regarding potential interest rate cuts, has significantly influenced global market liquidity expectations, leading to increased capital flows into emerging markets [2][3] - Historical precedents show that abundant liquidity is a crucial prerequisite for simultaneous gains in both stocks and bonds, as seen during the period from January 2019 to March 2020 in China [3][4] Group 2 - Today's market performance indicates a preference for growth sectors such as computer and communication industries, reflecting a focus on policy-supported areas and technological growth [4] - The bond market benefits from expectations of declining interest rates, attracting funds in a liquidity-rich environment, similar to the stock and bond bull market from September 2014 to June 2015 [4][5] - The simultaneous rise in stocks and bonds is a collective interpretation of the policy environment, suggesting a re-evaluation of emerging market assets in light of global capital flow changes [4][5] Group 3 - Overall, the simultaneous rise in stocks and bonds is a direct response to global liquidity easing expectations, driven by external policy signals and internal funding allocation needs [5] - Understanding the liquidity-driven market characteristics is more crucial for investors than focusing on individual indicators, as liquidity often dictates asset price movements [5]

Core Viewpoint - The current probability of a "deposit migration" from savings to the stock market is high, driven by factors such as declining deposit rates, liquidity expansion, initial asset appreciation effects, and policy catalysts [1][6]. Group 1: Historical Context of Deposit Migration - Historically, there have been seven rounds of deposit migration, with indicators such as annual changes in household savings rates, the growth rate of household deposits compared to M2, and monthly deposit growth rates [2][13]. - The first round of deposit migration occurred from 1998 to 2000, primarily driven by market reforms that increased consumption rather than stock market investments [19][28]. - The second round from 2009 to 2012 saw deposits initially flow into the stock market, followed by a shift to wealth management and trust products [31][33]. Group 2: Triggers for Deposit Migration - Key triggers for deposit migration include the decline of risk-free interest rates and deposit rates, which widen the yield gap between deposits and alternative investment products [3][14]. - Liquidity and credit expansion have historically prompted asset reallocation, as seen during the 2008 "four trillion stimulus plan" and subsequent monetary policy adjustments [3][14]. - The emergence of asset appreciation effects, such as significant stock market gains, has also been a consistent factor in driving deposit migration [3][14]. Group 3: Channels for Deposit Migration - Deposits typically migrate to the stock market, especially during periods of notable stock market gains, as seen in 2009 and 2014-2015 [4][15]. - Other channels include increased consumption due to market reforms, diversified investment channels, and real estate investments [4][15]. - Low-risk products such as bank wealth management and money market funds also attract migrating deposits [4][15]. Group 4: Characteristics of Deposit Migration to the Stock Market - Historical analysis shows that deposit migration to the stock market is often accompanied by significant appreciation in stock indices, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising by 103.4% in 2009 and 159.5% in 2014-2015 [5][16]. - The migration typically occurs after a delay following stock market uptrends, indicating that it is a reaction to market performance rather than a precursor [5][16]. - Increased household deposits entering the stock market can amplify the market's upward momentum, as evidenced by the subsequent rises in stock indices following deposit migrations [5][16]. Group 5: Current Trends and Future Outlook - The current environment suggests a high likelihood of a new round of deposit migration, driven by lower deposit rates, liquidity expansion, and initial stock market gains of 25% since the 2024 policy changes [6][17]. - Initially, deposits are expected to flow into stable assets like bank wealth management products and money market funds, with a gradual shift towards equity assets anticipated in the latter half of 2024 [6][17].

Economic Overview - The economy in July shows signs of weak recovery, with a potential trend of high-to-low performance throughout the year, indicating increased volatility due to external uncertainties[1] - The nominal GDP is projected to reach around 140 trillion yuan, with limited elasticity in growth rates and GDP deflator index in the second half of the year[12] Industrial Growth - In July, the industrial added value increased by 5.7% year-on-year, slightly below market expectations, while month-on-month growth was 0.38%[14] - Manufacturing demand is recovering but showing signs of marginal slowdown, with the new orders index at 49.4%, indicating a decrease in manufacturing market demand[16] Consumer Spending - The retail sales of consumer goods in July grew by 3.7% year-on-year, down from 4.8% in June, with a notable decline of 1.1 percentage points[19] - Factors affecting retail sales include reduced funding for the "old-for-new" policy, which decreased from 162 billion yuan in the first half of 2025 to 138 billion yuan in the second half[21] Fixed Asset Investment - From January to July, fixed asset investment (excluding rural households) totaled 288.229 billion yuan, growing by 1.6%, which is below market expectations of 2.7%[29] - Infrastructure investment grew by 3.2%, while real estate development investment saw a significant decline of 12.0%[29] Employment Trends - The urban surveyed unemployment rate in July was 5.2%, slightly up from the previous month, reflecting seasonal pressures from the graduation season[6] - Employment policies are being implemented to mitigate youth unemployment, including support for job creation in various sectors[6] Investment Outlook - Manufacturing investment growth was 6.2% year-on-year, but July recorded a negative growth of -0.3%, the first negative reading since July 2020, primarily due to high base effects and uncertainties from trade tensions[45] - The overall investment environment remains cautious, with private investment declining by 1.5% year-on-year, particularly in the real estate sector[29]

Market Overview - The A-share market has shown strong upward momentum, with the Shanghai Composite Index breaking through the key level of 3674.40 points, reaching a new high since the "9·24" rally last year, with a year-to-date increase of nearly 10% [1] - On August 14, the index continued to rise, surpassing 3700 points, marking the highest level since December 2021, with trading volume in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets reaching 2.18 trillion yuan, indicating a significant increase in market activity [1][2] Equity Market Dynamics - The current rally in the equity market is driven by multiple factors, including improved expectations from "anti-involution" policies, increased participation from retail investors, institutional funds, and foreign capital, as well as resilient macroeconomic fundamentals and proactive fiscal policies [2] - Various sectors are experiencing structural opportunities, with significant gains in securities, semiconductors, and insurance, indicating a shift away from a market dominated solely by bank stocks [2] Bond Market Analysis - The bond market has shown a mixed performance, with the yield on 10-year government bonds rising from 1.6855% on August 11 to 1.7350% on August 13, reflecting a lack of clear catalysts for bond price increases [1][2] - The bond market is currently influenced by two main factors: the strong performance of the equity market reducing the willingness of bond investors to increase positions, and a divergence in institutional behavior, with funds and brokerages being net sellers while banks and insurance companies are net buyers [3][5] Tax Policy Impact - The recent restoration of value-added tax on interest income from newly issued government and local bonds has led to an increase in selling pressure from funds, impacting their future bond allocation strategies [5][6] - Despite the tax changes, the overall impact on the bond market is expected to be limited, as the demand for fixed-income products remains relatively stable [8] Future Outlook - The bond market is perceived to be in a "top and bottom" range, with limited potential for significant yield declines due to the strong equity market and investor risk appetite, while still supported by a loose monetary policy [7] - Analysts suggest that the "look at stocks, do bonds" strategy may continue, but the coexistence of a "dual bull" market for stocks and bonds is also possible as the capital market recovers [7][8]
