Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The People's Bank of China's mention of "preventing idle capital circulation" aims to correct the irrational credit structure and aligns with the overall spirit of "anti-involution." It is expected that the growth rate of social financing has gradually peaked, and credit will decline year-on-year in the second half of the year. Interest rate cuts may be more inclined to "effectively cope with external shocks." The bond market is currently intertwined with bullish and bearish factors, and is likely to continue its weak oscillation pattern in the near future [1][7]. Summary by Related Catalogs What is "Idle Capital Circulation"? - The first type of idle capital circulation refers to the situation where the base currency does not convert into social financing according to the full money multiplier but accumulates in the financial system. For example, it can be retained through the non-bank loan - interbank deposit method. When the marketization degree of interbank deposit interest rates is insufficient, it is prone to trigger various arbitrage models. However, normal "deposit transfer" by residents will also boost the growth rate of non-bank deposits, which is a normal credit expansion function of non-bank institutions, and M2 will decrease in this process [7][13][14]. - The second type of idle capital circulation is related to the credit structure of the real economy. In reality, due to greater economic downward pressure, the financing demand of small and medium - sized enterprises is not strong, but banks have a natural inclination for loan scale. Therefore, they conduct "large - customer stacking" through "involution - style" lending, concentrating excessive credit on large enterprises and potentially reducing credit interest rates in an "involution - style" manner. This violates the People's Bank of China's emphasis on "preventing idle capital circulation and maintaining a balance between financial support for the real economy and self - health" [7][20][21]. How to View Social Financing and Credit, and Will There Be an Interest Rate Cut? - It is expected that the growth rate of social financing has gradually peaked, and credit will decline year - on - year in the second half of the year. After the "large - customer stacking" credit funds are released, the overall real - economy financing demand is still weak, so it is difficult for other types of enterprises to fully absorb these funds. As the peak of government bond issuance passes, the growth rate of social financing is expected to gradually peak [7][22]. - Short - term fluctuations in credit do not directly constitute a necessary reason for an interest rate cut. In the context of certain downward pressure on the economic operation and the adjustment of the real estate market, the effective loan demand is weak, and the correlation between loan interest rates and loan growth has significantly weakened in recent years. Interest rate cuts may have limited effect on directly boosting credit. With the further development of "reciprocal tariffs," subsequent interest rate cuts and other aggregate tools may be more inclined to "effectively cope with external shocks" [7][25]. - The current bond market is intertwined with bullish and bearish factors, with insufficient odds in the short term and lacking a basis for significant adjustment. The stock - bond "see - saw" effect may continue, and it is expected that the bond market may continue to maintain a weak oscillation pattern in the near future [1][7][25].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Fundamentally, the manufacturing PMI in August improved compared to the previous month but remained below the boom-bust line. Both supply and demand showed a month-on-month improvement, and the price level rebounded under the "anti-involution" policy. However, the export may face pressure in the future as the effect of pre-exporting weakens. In terms of funds, the central bank maintains an attitude of supporting funds, and it is generally expected that the funds will remain loose in the future. Looking ahead, with weak domestic demand recovery and the likelihood of continued loose funds, interest rates are expected to have downward room. However, in terms of rhythm, attention should be paid to the seesaw effect between stocks and bonds, and the bond market is expected to be in a short-term volatile pattern. The bond market should be considered for long positions on dips in the medium to long term [15]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Monthly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Economic and Policy Environment**: The manufacturing PMI data in August showed a slight overall improvement, with both supply and demand ends recovering. The "anti-involution" policy boosted price expectations, but the coordination between demand and production needs further observation. In terms of exports, although the import and export data in July exceeded expectations due to the pre-exporting effect, exports may face pressure in the future due to the overdraft of pre-exporting and the rising base in the second half of the year. Overseas, the market has strong expectations for a US interest rate cut in September, which is beneficial for financial market liquidity. On September 5, the central bank conducted a 10000 - billion - yuan outright reverse repurchase operation with a term of 3 months to maintain sufficient liquidity in the banking system [14]. - **Liquidity**: This week, the central bank conducted 10684 billion yuan in reverse repurchase operations, with 22731 billion yuan in reverse repurchases maturing, resulting in a net withdrawal of 12047 billion yuan.

The core driving logic is loose monetary policy and the difficulty of credit improvement [17]. 2.
