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 ...

Group 1: Market Data and Central Bank Operations - DROO1 closed at 1.47 with a 2.26 bp increase, DR007 at 1.55 with a 3.08 bp increase, GC001 at 1.70 with a 46.50 bp increase, and GC007 at 1.60 with a 10.50 bp increase. SHBOR 3M was at 1.55 with a 0.10 bp increase, LPR 5 - year at 3.50 with no change. 1 - year, 5 - year, and 10 - year Chinese treasury bonds were at 1.39 (0.44 bp increase), 1.63 (-0.56 bp decrease), and 1.77 (-1.82 bp decrease) respectively, while 10 - year US treasury bonds were at 4.34 with a 1.00 bp increase [4] - The central bank conducted 580.3 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations, with 114.6 billion yuan of reverse repurchases maturing, resulting in a net injection of 465.7 billion yuan [4] - The central bank released its Q2 2025 monetary policy report. Overseas, US tariff policies increase global economic recovery uncertainty and some economies have sticky inflation. Domestically, with measures to regulate low - price competition and boost consumption, the central bank believes there are more positive factors for a moderate recovery in price levels and expects an improvement. Monetary policy continues the tone of the Politburo meeting at the end of July, emphasizing the implementation of a moderately loose monetary policy [4] Group 2: Stock Index Performance - The CSI 300, SSE 50, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 closed at 4223 (-0.38%), 2812 (-0.93%), 6655.3 (-0.19%), and 7242.8 (0.07%) respectively. The trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets was 2.5884 trillion yuan, a decrease of 175.8 billion yuan from the previous day. Industry sectors showed more gains than losses, with sectors like automobile services, brewing, real - estate services leading the gains, and insurance, electronic chemicals, shipbuilding, and securities leading the losses [5] - Yesterday, stock indices rose first and then fell. Currently, the valuation still provides support. Taking the CSI 300 as an example, although the current P/E ratio has risen to 15.9 (at the 83% historical percentile), the equity risk premium (ERP) remains at a relatively high historical level (about the 68% percentile). This means that from the perspective of the relative cost - effectiveness of stock - bond investment, stocks can still provide higher potential return compensation compared to risk - free assets. With the liquidity support from Huijin, valuation factors are expected to continue to play a supporting role. At the macro level, attention should be paid to the Fed's September interest - rate cut expectation and its potential impact on domestic interest - rate cut space [6] Group 3: Futures Contract Data - For IF, the current - month, next - month, current - quarter, and next - quarter contracts had an annualized premium rate of 2.00%, 1.75%, 1.75%, and 1.84% respectively; for IH, -1.25%, -0.70%, -0.66%, and -0.52% respectively; for IC, 9.79%, 9.18%, 8.65%, and 8.12% respectively; for IM, 10.64%, 9.93%, 9.39%, and 9.26% respectively [7] - The trading volume and open interest of IF, IH, IC, and IM contracts all decreased. IF trading volume decreased by 27.3 to 109,269, and open interest decreased by 5.6 to 258,257; IH trading volume decreased by 15.8 to 62,436, and open interest decreased by 3.3 to 103,724; IC trading volume decreased by 22.3 to 102,352, and open interest decreased by 2.3 to 220,750; IM trading volume decreased by 19.4 to 236,188, and open interest decreased by 4.0 to 376,950 [5]

Recent performance has sparked widespread market discussion and predictions about its future trajectory [1]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The USD/JPY exchange rate is influenced by multiple factors, including the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, Bank of Japan's policy adjustments, global economic growth, and geopolitical uncertainties.

Positive data could lead to a rebound in the dollar, while disappointing figures may prompt a pullback [4][8]. - Future monetary policy directions will be a significant variable affecting market conditions.

Understanding these points is essential for future investment strategies [6]. - Setting reasonable stop-loss levels is crucial for risk management, regardless of whether a breakout or reversal occurs. Observing market volume and price behavior near key pivot points can help assess the validity of breakouts [8].

Core Viewpoint - The LPR (Loan Prime Rate) has remained unchanged for three consecutive months, with the 1-year rate at 3.0% and the 5-year rate at 3.5%, reflecting stability in the current economic environment [3][4]. Group 1: LPR Stability - The unchanged LPR rates align with market expectations, as the central bank's 7-day reverse repurchase rate has also remained stable, indicating no changes in the pricing basis for LPR [4]. - The recent increase in market interest rates and the historical low net interest margins for commercial banks have reduced the motivation for banks to lower LPR quotes [4][5]. Group 2: Economic Context - The stability of LPR is attributed to a moderately strong macroeconomic performance in the first half of the year, reducing the immediate need for adjustments to enhance counter-cyclical regulation [5]. - Both corporate and personal loan rates are currently at low levels, suggesting that lowering the LPR is not an urgent priority [5]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Experts suggest that the marginal effects of interest rate cuts are diminishing, and alternative methods to reduce overall financing costs, such as lowering non-interest costs, may be more effective [5]. - If the Federal Reserve lowers rates in September, it could create a more favorable external environment for adjustments in China's monetary policy, potentially leading to a decrease in LPR [5]. - There is an expectation for stronger policies to stabilize the real estate market, with potential targeted reductions in the 5-year LPR to alleviate high mortgage rates and stimulate housing demand [5].
