Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The growth rate of social financing may face pressure in the second half of the year. If there is no additional budget, government bonds will shift from year - on - year increase in the first half to year - on - year decrease in the second half, and non - government bond social financing has been weak due to high real interest rates [2][3][20]. - The low - base effect supports the continued significant rebound of M1 growth rate, and the rebound of social financing growth rate drives the rebound of M2 growth rate. Attention should be paid to the subsequent changes in fiscal deposits [3][4]. - The current stock market rise requires a low - interest - rate environment, and the impact on the bond market from capital flow is limited. The bond market has limited adjustment space, and it is a better allocation opportunity after adjustment. It is expected that bond yields will decline again, and a long - duration position and a dumbbell - shaped allocation are recommended [5][21]. Summary by Related Content Credit Situation - In June, new credit was 2.24 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 110 billion yuan. Corporate short - term credit demand increased, while the improvement of household credit demand was still limited. Corporate medium - and long - term loans and short - term loans increased year - on - year, and bill financing decreased year - on - year. Household medium - and long - term and short - term loans also increased year - on - year, but high - frequency data showed weak real - estate sales [1][8]. Social Financing Situation - In June, new social financing was 4.1993 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.9008 trillion yuan, and the year - on - year growth rate of social financing stock was 8.9%, 0.2 percentage points higher than the previous month. Government bonds were still the main support item. However, if there is no additional budget, subsequent bond supply will decrease year - on - year, and social financing growth rate may decline [2][13]. - In the first half of this year, the increase in social financing mainly came from government bonds. The annual budget increment of government bonds is 13.86 trillion yuan. After deducting the issued part in the first half, the net financing scale in the second half is expected to be about 6.1 trillion yuan, compared with about 8 trillion yuan in the same period last year [3][20]. M1 and M2 Situation - In June, the new - caliber M1 increased by 4.6% year - on - year, a rebound of 2.3 percentage points from May, mainly due to the low - base effect last year [3][15]. - In June, M2 increased by 8.3% year - on - year, a rebound of 0.4 percentage points from the previous month. The increase in social financing growth rate promoted the rebound of M2 growth rate. With the slowdown of government bond issuance in the second half, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing the capital supply in the market [4][18]. Stock and Bond Market Situation - The recent rise in the stock market is mainly driven by valuation recovery and requires a low - interest - rate environment. The impact of the stock market on the bond market's capital is limited. The bond market has limited adjustment space, and it is expected that bond yields will decline again. A long - duration position and a dumbbell - shaped allocation are recommended, with the 10 - year Treasury bond yield expected to fall to 1.4% - 1.5% [5][21].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The economic negative cycle of "housing price slump, stock market slump - wealth shrinkage - consumption downgrade" in the past two years has ended. Despite unfavorable factors such as the weak real - estate market, the economy is expected to stabilize. The interest - rate bonds may have a narrow - range and phased oscillation, and there is a positive view on long - duration credit bonds with a yield of over 2%. It is recommended to conduct band operations on interest - rate bonds by closely monitoring the capital situation and defend once the capital tightens. Since early June, there has been a continuous positive view on long - duration sinking urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - debt, and strong recommendations have been made for long - duration capital bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng. Attention should also be paid to investment opportunities in Hong Kong - listed bank stocks and China Property Insurance's capital - supplementing bonds [3]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Financial Data in June 2025 - On the afternoon of July 14, the central bank disclosed the financial data for June 2025: new loans reached 2.24 trillion yuan, and social financing was 4.2 trillion yuan.

New Loans in June 2025 - New loans in June increased slightly year - on - year, which may be related to banks' efforts to boost credit scale. Generally, April and May in the second quarter are off - peak months for credit delivery, while June is a peak month. The credit data in the first half of the year was affected by the replacement of implicit debts. The low stock mortgage interest rate and the stable stock market alleviated the pressure of early mortgage repayment. However, the significant reduction in deposit interest rates may exacerbate the pressure of early mortgage repayment. In June, individual loans increased by 59.76 billion yuan, including a 26.21 - billion - yuan increase in short - term individual loans and a 33.53 - billion - yuan increase in medium - and long - term individual loans, with a slight year - on - year increase. In June, short - term corporate loans increased by 1.16 trillion yuan, medium - and long - term corporate loans increased by 1.01 trillion yuan, and bill financing decreased by 410.9 billion yuan. Due to issues such as low capacity utilization in the manufacturing industry, weak real - estate investment, and limited infrastructure investment space, credit demand may be weak in the long term. After banks boosted credit scale in June, new loans in July are expected to be low [3]. 3. M2 and M1 Growth Rates in June 2025 - Both the M2 and M1 growth rates rebounded in June.

As of the end of June 2025, the balance of the new - caliber M1 reached 113.95 trillion yuan.
