1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not provide the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - The central bank's operations in August are more optimistic than in June. In terms of timing, the purchase - style reverse repurchase was timely, and there was better coordination with fiscal policies. In terms of quantity, the net purchase - style reverse repurchase in August was more than in June, and there was no withdrawal of 6 - month liquidity. The net injection during the tax period was also higher than in June. The funds' central price has declined compared to June [3][16]. - Looking forward, considering the historical low of credit in July, the negative month - on - month growth of social retail and investment in July, the downward trend of bill rates, and the continuous increase in government bond issuance, the central bank will maintain a suitable financial environment, and liquidity can remain optimistic. There is no need to worry about "preventing idle capital circulation" as the central bank focuses on standardizing bank loans rather than raising capital rates [3][21]. - For certificates of deposit (CDs), the net financing of state - owned banks' CDs turned negative again last week. Under the central bank's support, the supply side is not a constraint. The secondary - market trading volume has continued to shrink, and yields have fluctuated within a narrow range. Institutions mostly adopt a configuration strategy. The supply - side pressure is relatively limited, and considering the low - level funds, the configuration value of CDs above 1.65% is not low. CDs may perform well when risk appetite declines and interest rates return to the fundamental logic [23]. 3. Summaries According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Keep an Optimistic Judgment on Funds - Last week, except for the last trading day, the weighted DR001 funds price remained at 1.31%, and state - owned banks' net lending remained high.

Second, the marginal tightening of funds on August 15 was a normal tax - period fluctuation. Medium - and long - term funds remained stable and loose, and based on the fundamentals and the central bank's operating style, one can remain optimistic about funds [15][16]. 3.2 Weekly Funds and CDs Tracking and Key Point Reminders - This week (August 11 - 15), the central bank's OMO had a net withdrawal of 4149 billion yuan, with 7 - day OMO funds of 7118 billion yuan issued and 11267 billion yuan withdrawn.

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - In August, liquidity has become a key factor in the bond market. The linkage between risky assets and the bond market has continued for some time, and in the medium - to long - term, the bond market is still priced based on fundamentals. Risky assets' strength is a short - term disturbance. If liquidity is stable, changes in funds flowing to risky assets are not the key to the bond market. An abundant liquidity environment is more likely to lead to a "double - bull" market for stocks and bonds. Attention should be paid to the central bank's operations, large banks' net lending levels, and the liability - side stability of bond funds and other broad - based funds [1][2]. - Although there are disturbances such as government bond supply, certificate of deposit (CD) maturities, and tax payments in August, there are also clear supporting factors. It is expected that the central bank will use various tools to maintain the stability of the money market, and the central level of money market rates will remain in a low - level volatile pattern, but special - time fluctuations need attention [4]. Summary by Directory 1. August: Liquidity Becomes a Key Factor in the Bond Market - Since July, the linkage between stocks, commodities, and bonds has attracted market attention. Liquidity plays a dual role in the stock - bond market linkage. Abundant liquidity benefits both markets, while changes in risk appetite and equity returns drive asset reallocation, causing some bond market funds to flow into stocks and commodities [1][8]. - In late July, high inter - bank liquidity demand and the rise of stocks and commodities suppressed the bond market. At the beginning of August, loose liquidity led to a "double - bull" market for stocks and bonds. From August 11 - 13, the relationship between stocks and bonds changed from a "seesaw" to a "double - bull" situation. On August 11, the central bank's large - scale net withdrawal in the open market and the strength of risky assets dragged down bond market sentiment. On August 13, the bond market showed resilience [1][8][9]. - In the second half of August, the bond market lacks a new narrative. Liquidity will continue to be crucial. The sustainability of risky assets' performance remains to be seen. If liquidity is stable, it won't be the key to the bond market. An abundant liquidity environment is more likely to lead to a "double - bull" market. Attention should be paid to the central bank's operations, large banks' net lending levels, and the liability - side stability of bond funds [2][14]. 2. July: Turbulence in the Money Market - In July, the money market had a "roller - coaster" ride, with funds loosening at the beginning, tightening in the middle, and then fluctuating again in the late stage. The central bank's operations were more targeted, with more precise and flexible liquidity injections [15]. - In terms of money prices, overnight money rates often ran below the policy rate but rose during tax payments and at the end of the month. The 7 - day money rate's central level declined, and the 7 - day money rate's stratification phenomenon was more prominent, while the overnight money rate's stratification was similar to the previous month [17]. - In terms of money quantity, the net lending of large state - owned banks decreased, while the lending of money market funds and wealth management products increased. The microstructure of money lending changed, increasing the volatility of overnight money rates [30]. - Factors affecting money supply and demand in July included precise and targeted open - market operations, government bond issuance (which decreased month - on - month but remained high year - on - year), high CD maturities with stable issuance prices, and a structural differentiation in credit in July after an unexpected increase in June [35][40][46]. 3. Current Concerns about the Money Market - Historically, August has a relatively low central level of money market rates in the second half of the year. In 2022 and 2023, there were large fluctuations at the end of August due to external policy variables [53]. - Currently, there are several concerns: high CD maturities above 3 trillion yuan in August, but banks' liability - side pressure is neutral, and the demand for price - increasing issuance is limited; continued government bond supply pressure, with the central bank likely to use various tools to maintain money market stability; and over 1.2 trillion yuan of medium - to long - term liquidity maturing in August, but a 70 - billion - yuan 3 - month buy - out reverse repurchase was carried out on August 8 [61][62][64]. - Although there are disturbances in August, there are also supporting factors such as seasonal factors and the central bank's support. It is expected that the central level of money market rates will remain low - level volatile, but attention should be paid to fluctuations at special times [66].
