Core Viewpoint - The LPR (Loan Prime Rate) for both 1-year and 5-year terms remains unchanged at 3.0% and 3.5% respectively, aligning with market expectations and reflecting stable policy rates [1][2]. Group 1: LPR Quotation Analysis - The unchanged LPR quotations for August indicate a lack of significant changes in the pricing basis, as the central bank's 7-day reverse repurchase rate has remained stable [2]. - The continuous stability of LPR for three months is attributed to a relatively strong macroeconomic performance in the first half of the year, reducing the necessity for immediate downward adjustments [2][3]. Group 2: Future Expectations - There is potential for a downward adjustment in policy rates and LPR quotations in the fourth quarter, driven by efforts to stimulate domestic demand and stabilize the real estate market [3][4]. - The central bank may implement new rounds of interest rate cuts, which could lead to lower loan rates for businesses and households, thereby boosting internal financing demand [3]. Group 3: Real Estate Market Implications - Enhanced policies to stabilize the real estate market are anticipated, with expectations for a targeted reduction in the 5-year LPR to alleviate high mortgage rates and stimulate housing demand [4].

中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬认为，自5月降息之后，近期政策利率持稳，使得LPR报价的定价基础未变。他还 提到，虽然5月存款利率下调对稳息差起到较好作用，但内卷式竞争下贷款利率下行趋势不改，银行息差压力持续 显现。在此背景下，综合考虑资金、风险、运营、资本、税收等成本的相对刚性，政策利率未降的情况下，LPR 报价单独下调的空间和动力不足。 "后续，破除内卷式竞争，优化存贷定价自律执行，反对中间业务价格战，稳定银行经营，将成为重要监管方 向。"温彬表示。 在央行最新发布的二季度货币政策执行报告中，报告基调调整为"落实落细适度宽松的货币政策"。对此，温彬解 读称，尽管货币政策延续"适度宽松"基调，但指向后续货币政策的重心在于抓好落实，短期内继续加码宽松的概 率不高。 今天（8月20日）上午，中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心公布最新一期贷款市场报价利率（LPR），1 年期LPR和5年期以上LPR均维持不变。也就是说，3.0%的1年期LPR和3.5%的5年期以上LPR，"按兵不动"三个月 了。 就此，受访专家对南都N视频记者表示，当前处于政策的观察期，短期内政策加码必要性不强。 LPR品种历史走势图。图片来源：中 ...

"从根本上说，LPR报价连续三个月保持不动，主要源于上半年宏观经济稳中偏强，短期内通过引导 LPR报价下调强化逆周期调节的必要性不高，当前处于政策观察期。"王青说。 期货日报网讯(记者曲德辉见习记者肖佳煊)中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心今日公布，2025 年8月贷款市场报价利率(LPR)为：1年期LPR为3.0%，上月为3.0%；5年期以上LPR为3.5%，上月为 3.5%。以上LPR在下一次发布LPR之前有效。 中国人民银行日前发布的《2025年第二季度中国货币政策执行报告》显示，上半年货币政策逆周期调节 效果较为明显，金融总量平稳增长，社会融资成本处于低位，信贷结构不断优化，人民币汇率在合理均 衡水平上保持基本稳定。报告同时明确了下一阶段货币政策的主要思路：落实落细适度宽松的货币政 策。 "8月两个期限品种的LPR报价保持不变，符合市场预期。"东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青在接受期货日 报记者采访时表示，8月以来政策利率(央行7天期逆回购利率)保持稳定，意味着当月LPR报价的定价基 础没有变化，已在很大程度上预示8月LPR报价会保持不动。另外，受反内卷牵动市场预期等影响，近 期市场利率有所上行，在商业 ...
