Core Viewpoint - The economic data for August 2025 indicates a slowdown in industrial production, a decline in fixed asset investment, and weaker-than-expected retail sales growth, reflecting the impact of "anti-involution" policies on the actual economy [4][5][6][7]. Industrial Production - The industrial added value for large-scale enterprises grew by 5.2% year-on-year in August, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points from July, marking two consecutive months of declining growth [4][5]. - Month-on-month, the industrial added value increased by 0.37% in August, lower than the growth rates in the same months of 2023 and 2024 [5]. Fixed Asset Investment - The cumulative year-on-year growth rate of fixed asset investment continued to decline, with August showing a significant drop in infrastructure investment [6]. - Real estate investment remains weak, while manufacturing and infrastructure investments have also retreated from their high levels earlier in the year, with negative year-on-year growth for two consecutive months [6]. Retail Sales - The total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 3.4% year-on-year in August, with a month-on-month growth rate of 0.17%, indicating a slight recovery but still below seasonal expectations [7]. - The month-on-month growth rate in August was lower than the corresponding rates in 2023 and 2024, suggesting a weaker consumer spending environment [7]. Bond Market Outlook - In the bond market, there has been a noticeable divergence in government bond yields since August, with short-term yields remaining stable while long-term yields have increased significantly [8]. - The current liquidity is relatively ample, and the bond market is expected to perform well, with the 10-year government bond yield estimated to stabilize around 1.7% [8][9]. - Convertible bonds have not outperformed their underlying stocks since August 25, and while they remain a relatively high-quality asset, their current valuation levels are elevated, necessitating a more strategic approach [9].
