Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for treasury bonds is "oscillation" [4] Core Viewpoints - Next week, most fundamental data is expected to be weak, but the M1 growth rate may continue to rise, and the market is relatively insensitive to fundamental data. The bond market in Q3 has seasonal patterns, with adjustment pressure increasing in the middle and late months. The decline in constraints on domestic incremental policies after the Fed's rate cut and the potential for an anti - involution market may suppress bond market sentiment. It is recommended to take a bearish approach to the bond market next week, continue to focus on short - hedging strategies, and consider steepening the yield curve strategies [2] Summary by Directory 1. One - Week Review and Views 1.1 This Week's Trend Review - From September 1st to September 7th, treasury bond futures oscillated.

Fundamental data is concentrated, but the market is insensitive to it. The M1 growth rate may rise, and the risk appetite may increase. The approaching tax period will lead to marginal tightening of the capital side. The Fed's rate - cut expectation and the potential anti - involution market may suppress bond market sentiment. It is recommended to take a bearish approach, focus on short - hedging strategies, and consider steepening the yield curve strategies [2][11][12] 2.

Suggests focusing on 10Y China Development Bank bonds, 30Y treasury bonds, and 5Y capital bonds [3] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs New Loans - Due to weak credit demand, new loans in the beginning of the quarter are usually low. The low 1 - month term transfer discount rate at the end of August reflects average credit issuance.

Core Viewpoint - The recent continuous rebound in M1 growth is primarily driven by significant increases in both corporate and household demand deposits, indicating a shift in asset allocation in a low interest rate environment [2][3][4]. Group 1: M1 Growth Analysis - In July, M1 year-on-year growth reached 5.6%, continuing the upward trend since the fourth quarter of last year [2]. - The rebound in M1 growth is largely attributed to a sharp increase in corporate and household demand deposits, with corporate demand deposits recovering significantly since June [3]. - The rapid issuance of government bonds, exceeding 1.88 trillion yuan, has contributed to the recovery of corporate demand deposits as these funds are held in the accounts of repayment entities [3]. Group 2: Factors Influencing M1 Growth - The decline in interest rates and the low base effect from last year are key factors driving the current M1 growth, differing from previous cycles that were more influenced by the real estate sector [4]. - The cancellation of manual interest subsidies last year has created a low base effect that will persist until October this year, after which M1 growth will depend more on improvements in the economic fundamentals [4]. - The current policy support is expected to stabilize confidence and improve corporate cash flow, but its effectiveness in stimulating real investment and consumption remains to be seen [4].

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Industry Overview - The discussion revolves around the phenomenon of "deposit migration" in the Chinese banking sector, particularly focusing on the shift of funds from fixed deposits to demand deposits and investments in the stock market. Core Insights and Arguments - **M1 Growth and Economic Indicators**: M1 growth has risen to 5.6% in July, indicating improved monetary liquidity and suggesting a potential bottoming out of economic demand and inflation, typically leading by about six months [2] - **Deposit Migration Drivers**: The migration of deposits is driven by several factors including a recovery in the stock market, changes in long-term economic expectations, and a resurgence in the financial assets of high-net-worth individuals [10] - **Excess Savings**: Approximately 5 trillion yuan of excess savings accumulated between 2022 and 2024 is a significant source for potential market entry, supported by a liquidity-rich environment and government leverage [5][20] - **Stock Market Activity**: Since August, A-share trading volume has exceeded 2 trillion yuan, indicating increased trading activity, although the number of new accounts opened is still below last year's peak [6] - **Shift in Loan Composition**: The proportion of loans for mechanical manufacturing and green finance has increased from 40% to 70%, while real estate loans have dropped to 0%, reflecting a shift in financial resource allocation [3][7] Additional Important Content - **Impact of Fixed Deposits**: A significant amount of fixed deposits, particularly those maturing in 2025, is expected to be reallocated, with about 70 trillion yuan in total fixed deposits maturing, including 7 trillion yuan in three-year fixed deposits [14][13] - **Financial Disintermediation**: The phenomenon of financial disintermediation has led to a significant outflow of deposits towards non-bank financial products, with an estimated drag on physical deposits of about 12 trillion yuan, which has since reduced to 8 trillion yuan [8] - **Contribution to Deposit Creation**: The contribution of fiscal measures to deposit creation has increased from 25% in 2023 to 53% currently, while the contribution from entity credit has decreased from 73% to 41% [9] - **Potential Market Entry Funds**: The potential funds available for market entry are estimated to be between 5 to 7 trillion yuan, influenced by macroeconomic conditions, policy expectations, and external environments [11][21] - **Liquidity and Investment Trends**: The trend of residents and enterprises activating their deposits is expected to enhance market liquidity and stimulate investment activities, with a projected increase in M1 growth to around 10% [17][18] This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, highlighting the dynamics of deposit migration, market conditions, and potential investment opportunities within the Chinese financial landscape.

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that the bond market is currently dominated by risk appetite, leading to a steepening adjustment in yields. This is primarily influenced by the performance of risk assets such as equities and commodities, which have shown a trend of upward movement [3][8][16] - The report highlights four specific scenarios that contribute to the current dominance of risk appetite in the bond market: 1) A trend in risk assets like equities and commodities; 2) A lack of clear direction from policy statements; 3) Interest rates being at historical lows, reducing attractiveness; 4) External market influences affecting sentiment [3][16][21] - The report suggests that if the influence of these factors diminishes, the market will eventually revert to being driven by fundamentals and liquidity conditions. Key indicators to watch include the operational space of monetary policy in the second half of the year and whether social financing (社融) shows signs of a turning point [3][16] Group 2 - The report notes that while there is an increasing expectation of "absence of total easing" in the short term, the core tone of monetary policy remains one of "moderate easing" and "maintaining ample liquidity," indicating that policy space has not been closed off [5][20] - It emphasizes that the urgency for total easing in the third quarter has decreased, with a shift in focus towards structural policies and stabilizing prices. However, the possibility of total policy re-engagement in the fourth quarter remains, especially if the fundamentals come under pressure [5][20] - The report also points out that the current market's expectations for monetary easing are relatively low, suggesting that the likelihood of a significant market adjustment similar to earlier in the year is reduced [5][20][21] Group 3 - The report indicates that the short-term market is influenced by insufficient release of risk appetite and institutional sentiment, leading to weaker performance. However, it cautions against overemphasizing concerns about an upward turning point in interest rates [6][33] - It highlights that the growth rate of social financing is likely to peak in the fourth quarter, and price increases may be a result of financing expansion rather than a sign of a new cycle [6][33] - The report concludes that while the market's expectations for monetary easing are low, the actual probability of easing remains significant, suggesting that interest rates may form a mid-term top after the current pullback [6][33]
