1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "relocated" deposits remain as deposits and do not reduce the allocation power in the bond market. Even if residents' deposits move to the stock market, they still exist in the form of margin deposits, so the overall bank deposits do not decrease, and the asset - side allocation power will not decline [1]. - Credit showed negative growth and relied on bills, indicating weak financing demand. Both corporate and household credit demand was weak in July, with high - frequency data showing a weakening in real - estate sales [2][9]. - Government bonds are still the main support for social financing. However, if there is no new fiscal budget, government bond supply may decrease year - on - year in the future, and social financing may face pressure again [3][4][14]. - The base effect pushed up the M1 growth rate, and non - bank deposits drove the M2 growth rate to rebound. As the government bond issuance pace slows down, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing market liquidity [5][20]. - The bond market may experience short - term or periodic fluctuations and is waiting for a breakthrough. As the commodity and stock markets cool down, the bond market is expected to oscillate in the short term, and interest rates may break through downward as the fundamentals change and the asset shortage evolves, more likely around or in the fourth quarter [6][23]. 3.

Non - government bond social financing growth was weak, and if there is no new budget, government bond supply may decrease year - on - year in the future, putting pressure on social financing growth [3][4][14]. Monetary Supply Situation - In July, the M1 growth rate rebounded from 4.6% to 5.6% mainly due to the base effect, and there was no trend - like increase in the two - year compound growth rate. The M2 growth rate was 8.8%, a 0.5 - percentage - point increase from the previous month, mainly driven by the year - on - year increase in non - bank deposits. As the government bond issuance pace slows down, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing market liquidity [5][17][20]. Bond Market Outlook - The bond market may experience short - term or periodic fluctuations. As the commodity and stock markets cool down, the 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds are expected to oscillate in the short term.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - A-share index has a clear bottom line, and the trading volume in the two markets has increased, driving the index to fluctuate upwards. The "anti-involution" policy has led to a full recovery of theme stocks. The 1.2 trillion hydropower project in the Yarlung Zangbo River has directly promoted the entire infrastructure industry chain such as water conservancy and building materials to strengthen. The market shows the characteristic of "blue-chip stocks setting the stage, and theme stocks performing". Futures index should be intervened after a pullback [3]. - Although the international situation is complex, the current market expectations are sufficient, and the disturbances caused by Sino-US and Iran-Israel issues are limited. The US has lifted the restrictions on H20 chips. The external influence is mainly the Fed's interest rate decision. A rate cut is beneficial for the appreciation of the RMB, the return of foreign capital, and the inflow of new incremental funds, which may start as early as September. Currently, policies to stabilize the capital market are positive, the bottom line of the stock index is clear, and new technologies and new consumption are promoting the economic expectation to stabilize and recover. After the risk-free interest rate drops to a low level, the entry of medium and long-term funds and residents into the market will enter a new cycle. A breakthrough must be accompanied by an increase in trading volume. This week, the trading volume in the two markets exceeded 1.5 trillion (MA5), and the index still has upward momentum [4].
