Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The key to the settlement and sale of foreign exchange surplus in December lies in the real return of trade cash flow rather than sentiment. The surge in exports directly boosts the bottom - line of foreign exchange settlement, with the supply side clearly dominant. Enterprises' behavior is more in line with business logic than exchange - rate speculation. Forward hedging is active without squeezing spot foreign exchange settlement, indicating that the market is mainly focused on stable hedging. The US dollar against the RMB is expected to decline slowly, and in the short - term, it may test the 6.90–6.95 range, with limited room for the US dollar to rebound [2]. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Supply - Demand Relationship Analysis Foreign Exchange Market Supply - Demand Balance - In December 2025, the surplus of bank settlement and sale of foreign exchange significantly expanded to 1000.67 billion US dollars (bank settlement of 3179.60 billion US dollars and sale of 2178.93 billion US dollars), indicating a strong end - of - year supply of foreign exchange settlement. This is closely related to high - level export and cross - border payment activities, and the large trade surplus provides strong support for the RMB [9]. - The significant increase in the customer - side foreign exchange settlement momentum is the core of the surplus structure change. The surplus of bank customer - related settlement and sale of foreign exchange jumped to about 999.34 billion US dollars, reflecting the concentrated release of the real demand of domestic enterprises and institutions for foreign exchange settlement [10]. Forward Foreign Exchange Settlement and Purchase Willingness - In December, in the context of a stronger RMB and active trading in the spot market, enterprises' spot trading behavior became more rational. The average spot value of the US dollar against the RMB decreased by about 1.17% compared with November. The spot inquiry trading volume decreased to 345.59 billion US dollars, while the settlement rate of received foreign exchange rose to 61.01% and the purchase rate of paid foreign exchange dropped to 55.41% [13]. - In December, both forward signing and performance increased, reflecting the enhanced demand for cross - period risk management and real - demand matching. Forward foreign exchange sales signing increased to 169.66 billion US dollars, and forward foreign exchange settlement signing rose to 524.32 billion US dollars. The performance on the execution side also strengthened, indicating that enterprises' foreign exchange layout focuses on cash - flow matching and exchange - rate risk management [14]. Analysis of Settlement and Sale of Foreign Exchange Structure Bank's Own Settlement and Sale of Foreign Exchange - In the macro - data analysis of bank settlement and sale of foreign exchange, the bank's internal settlement and sale of foreign exchange activities, mainly including dividend payments, profit repatriation, and capital injection, have a small scale and are seasonal, with limited impact on the overall trend [18]. Bank Customer - Related Settlement and Sale of Foreign Exchange - In December, the surplus of domestic bank customer - related cross - border payments and receipts in the current account significantly expanded. The current - account surplus increased from 552.38 billion US dollars to 1024.65 billion US dollars. The goods - trade surplus increased from 726.66 billion US dollars to 1259.22 billion US dollars, while the service - trade deficit expanded to - 85.34 billion US dollars, and the deficits in income and current transfer items deepened [22]. - In December, the capital and financial account turned from deficit to surplus, with net inflows from securities and other investments as important driving factors. The securities investment account turned from a deficit of 345.99 billion US dollars to a surplus of 108.15 billion US dollars, the direct - investment deficit slightly narrowed, and other investment accounts turned from deficit to surplus [22]. Deconstruction of December's Settlement and Sale of Foreign Exchange Securities Investment - In December, the trading volumes of north - bound and south - bound funds both decreased, indicating a wait - and - see attitude in cross - border equity asset allocation, with limited impact on foreign exchange supply and demand. The trading volumes of the Shanghai - Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect decreased to 43563.02 billion yuan and 15900.50 billion yuan respectively, reflecting a slowdown in trading rhythm [28]. Goods Trade - Amid the differentiation in domestic and foreign economic climates, China's manufacturing momentum marginally recovered, supporting export expectations and foreign exchange settlement willingness. In December, China's manufacturing PMI rose to 50.10, back above the boom - bust line, while the US PMI dropped to 51.80 and the eurozone's to 48.80 [34]. - In December, imports and exports rebounded more than expected, and the annual trade surplus reached a record high of 1.2 trillion US dollars. High - tech product exports increased by 13.2% year - on - year, with industrial robots, lithium batteries, and wind - power equipment showing high growth. However, the intensity of foreign exchange settlement is restricted by enterprises' "demand - based foreign exchange" strategy and the relative attractiveness of US dollar interest rates [35].
