Subsidy Structure - The subsidy program is divided into two main categories: scrapping and replacement. Consumers can receive 12% of the new car price (up to 20,000 yuan) for scrapping eligible old vehicles and purchasing new energy vehicles, while scrapping old fuel vehicles yields a 10% subsidy (up to 15,000 yuan) [4]. - For replacement, purchasing new energy vehicles offers an 8% subsidy (up to 15,000 yuan), and fuel vehicles provide a 6% subsidy (up to 13,000 yuan) [4]. Regional Adaptations - Local governments are implementing dynamic adjustments and innovative measures like lottery systems for subsidy distribution to address previous issues of fund exhaustion and uneven distribution [5][6]. - For example, Hubei province has introduced a monthly funding plan to ensure stable policy benefits throughout the year [4]. Fairness and Market Dynamics - The new policy emphasizes fairness by prohibiting regional protectionism and ensuring that consumers are not forced to sell old vehicles to designated companies [6]. - The shift to proportional subsidies is expected to reduce the attractiveness of low-end vehicles, as subsidies for models priced below 100,000 yuan will significantly decrease [10]. Market Impact - The new policy is anticipated to reshape the competitive landscape, pressuring low-cost micro electric vehicle manufacturers while benefiting mid-to-high-end market players [12][13]. - Data from January indicates that the average price of new cars participating in the trade-in program exceeded 160,000 yuan, reflecting a shift towards value-driven competition [13]. Future Outlook - The automotive market is expected to stabilize and gradually differentiate throughout the year, with the new subsidy policy focusing on quality growth rather than mere sales volume [14].

Content in the Government Work Report Related to "Reducing Supply" - The government pointed out "strong supply" issues since December 2025, different from previous years [4][14]. - The work deployment includes "continuously expanding domestic demand and optimizing supply", which actually means "eliminating overcapacity" [4][14]. - The inflation target aims to improve the general supply - demand relationship, including supply - side measures [4]. - The anti - involution measures now prioritize capacity control [4][15]. - The dual - carbon part involves actions to improve quality, reduce costs and carbon emissions in key industries and accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity [4][16]. 2. "Optimizing Supply" Needs to Be Coordinated with the "GDP Target Downgrade" - Since GDP is calculated by the production method, optimizing supply will reduce production to some extent, leading to a decline in GDP growth. Similar to 2016 - 2017, the GDP target was also lowered in 2026 [5][18]. 3. Logic of Supply - side Structural Reform - The goal of supply - side structural reform is to "focus on improving the quality and efficiency of development", and the 2026 policy orientation of "seeking progress while maintaining stability and improving quality and efficiency" is similar [19]. 4. Effects of Supply - side Structural Reform from 2016 - 2017 - The effects of supply - side structural reform from 2016 - 2017 were: rising prices → improved corporate profitability → increased household income → consumption upgrading [21]. - The PPI fixed - base index can more accurately reflect the price trend, and since September 2025, it has been on an upward trend [21][23]. - There is a strong correlation between price levels and corporate profitability, and the median ROE of non - financial companies in the Wind All - A Index rebounded slightly in Q3 2025 [22]. - Since July 2025, China's prices have been rising, and it is expected that prices will enter an accelerated upward trend in 2026, leading to "improved corporate profitability and a resurgence of consumption upgrading" [26]. 5. Convertible Bond Market: The Direction of Prices and Corporate Profitability Determines the Style of the Convertible Bond Market - Although the equity market bull market since September 2024 is similar to the 2013 - 2015 bull market in appearance, the key factors are the directions of prices and corporate profitability [7][27]. - In 2013 - 2015 and 2024 - H1 2025, prices and corporate profitability were both declining.

It is expected that a similar change will occur in 2026 [27]. - In the equity market, it is recommended to focus on technology stocks with performance, and non - technology sectors such as non - ferrous metals and chemicals are expected to rise. Large - finance and large - consumption sectors may reverse, and related convertible bonds may achieve excess returns [7][27]. 6. Bond Market Viewpoint: The Bond Market Is Expected to Emerge from the Low - Interest - Rate Era - Bond yields are determined by the direction of prices (or price expectations) and the direction of capital interest rates (the central bank's attitude) [8][28]. - Historically, the directions of prices and capital interest rates often converge, but there are also some deviations. In such cases, the bond market follows the central bank's attitude [28]. - In H1 2026, capital interest rates may remain stable, short - term yields may stay low, while prices will rise more significantly, and long - term bond yields may trend upward [28]. - If the 12 - month average of PPI month - on - month can be maintained at around 0.2%, the year - on - year PPI will rise above 2%, and the 10 - year Treasury bond yield is expected to return to the 2 - 3% range, with a central level of 2.5% [29][30].
