Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report is that there are six major misconceptions regarding stablecoins in the current market [1][2] Group 2 - Misconception 1: The value of stablecoins is absolutely stable. In reality, stablecoins are credit extensions anchored to assets, and their value is subject to technical de-pegging risks and fluctuations in the underlying assets [1] - Misconception 2: All fiat currencies can issue stablecoins in large quantities. The development of different fiat stablecoins depends on the acceptance of the underlying currency, leading to a "winner-takes-all" scenario for the most trusted fiat stablecoins [1] - Misconception 3: Dollar stablecoins will weaken the credit of the US dollar. The rapid development of dollar stablecoins will not undermine the dollar system but will further strengthen the dollar's position by expanding its functionality and usage [1] - Misconception 4: Dollar stablecoins are a "lifeline" for US Treasury bonds. The dollar stablecoin market can only slightly alleviate the pressure on short-term US debt, while the overall impact on the US bond market is minimal [2] - Misconception 5: Dollar stablecoins will significantly increase the supply of US dollars. While the issuance authority of dollars is partially delegated to issuing companies, the Federal Reserve remains the main participant in controlling the total dollar liquidity [2] - Misconception 6: Stablecoins will rapidly promote the development of the RWA market. The support of stablecoins for RWA is more evident at the transaction level, and the development of the RWA market ultimately depends on the quality of the underlying assets [2]

Group 1 - The report indicates that the U.S. Treasury market experienced a "V" shaped reversal in yields due to rising oil prices amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with the 10-year Treasury yield declining by a total of 10.7 basis points during the week [3][10][74] - The May CPI data showed a year-on-year increase of 2.4%, while core CPI and PPI data were below expectations, indicating limited inflationary pressure from tariffs [4][54][75] - The report forecasts that the 10-year Treasury yield will fluctuate between 4.2% and 4.6% in the coming months, with a high allocation value at the 4.5% yield level, corresponding to a price of 110 [4][74][76] Group 2 - The supply side of the Treasury market remains stable, with the Treasury Department maintaining a net financing scale of $514 billion for Q2 and $554 billion for Q3, while short-term T-Bill issuance continues to be high [19][23][20] - Demand for U.S. Treasuries remains strong despite high short positions, with the total short position in 2-year Treasuries rising to $420.2 billion, reflecting ongoing basis trading [28][24][32] - The liquidity in the Treasury market is observed to be adequate, with the SOFR rate averaging 4.28% and the ON RRP usage increasing to $183.35 billion per day [37][43][46] Group 3 - The macroeconomic environment shows that inflation is not expected to rebound significantly, with the report suggesting that the economic downturn pressure outweighs inflationary pressures [66][75][76] - The report highlights that the Federal Reserve may misjudge inflation trends, potentially leading to a resumption of quantitative easing if financial stability risks increase [73][74][76] - The overall economic outlook indicates that the U.S. economy may face two scenarios: increased pressure from trade wars or financial stability risks due to declining stock and bond markets [75][76]

Core Viewpoint - The simultaneous occurrence of the $39 billion 10-year U.S. Treasury auction and the critical Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is expected to create significant market volatility, breaking the recent calm in the U.S. Treasury market [1][4][6] Group 1: CPI Data Impact - The upcoming CPI report for May is a key indicator of U.S. inflation, directly influencing consumer living costs, business production costs, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy direction [3][5] - If the CPI data exceeds market expectations, it may lead to increased inflation pressure, raising expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, which could result in falling bond prices and rising yields [5] - Conversely, if the CPI data is below expectations, it may ease inflation pressure, enhancing the appeal of U.S. Treasuries as a safe-haven asset, leading to rising bond prices and falling yields [5] Group 2: Treasury Auction Dynamics - The outcome of the 10-year Treasury auction will reflect market demand for U.S. Treasuries, influencing yields and the overall bond market [3][4] - A strong auction demand, indicated by a high bid-to-cover ratio, would suggest high market confidence in U.S. Treasuries, potentially stabilizing yields [5] - Conversely, weak auction results, such as a low bid-to-cover ratio or even a failed auction, could lead to a significant rise in yields and spread panic in the market [5] Group 3: Market Outlook - The combination of the CPI report and the Treasury auction is likely to signal the end of the recent period of calm in the U.S. Treasury market, prompting investors and financial institutions to reassess their strategies [4][6] - Global investors, financial institutions, and policymakers need to closely monitor these events, as they will influence future market dynamics and economic policies [6]
