王鹏认为，PPI同比跌幅收窄，既有政策调整、需求韧性等的支撑，也有2024年同期低基数的影响。随 着扩内需、"反内卷"等政策持续落地，相关行业供需格局出现改善，部分行业原材料采购和产品销售价 格有所上涨。 银河期货首席宏观分析师王鹏在接受期货日报记者采访时表示，8月，食品烟酒类价格同比下降2.5%， 影响CPI下降约0.72个百分点。农副产品价格走弱，一方面与近期食品消费较弱、农产品供给技术提升 和居民饮食结构变化有关；另一方面也与农产品基本面有关，从库存消费比看，农副产品整体供应充 足，这是价格上行动力有限的原因之一。 对此，格林大华期货首席专家王骏认为，农产品贸易商和供应企业后期需要加大卖出保值力度，对冲企 业风险敞口。另外，部分生鲜商品正处在收获季节，可根据产量预估情况和新季商品质量进行相应保值 操作。 国家统计局城市司首席统计师董莉娟分析称，随着扩内需、促消费政策持续显效，8月PPI同比下降 2.9%，降幅比上月收窄0.7个百分点，为今年3月以来首次收窄。我国加紧实施更加积极有为的宏观政 策，一些行业价格呈现积极变化。一是国内市场竞争秩序持续优化，带动相关行业价格同比降幅收窄。 全国统一大市场建设纵深 ...

Group 1: Report Title and General Information - Report Title: How to View Price Signals in the Bond Market Correction? - Commentary on August Price Data [1] - Report Type: Commentary Report [6] - Chief Analyst: Hong Ziyan [2] Group 2: Main Viewpoints Data Observation: Characteristics of August Inflation Data - CPI: In August, the CPI year-on-year was -0.4%, down 0.4 pct from the previous month, falling back into the negative range and lower than the market expectation (-0.2%). The CPI month-on-month was 0%, down 0.4 pct from the previous month. The food item dragged down the CPI significantly, while the core CPI continued to rise, significantly pulled by the gold price [2]. - PPI: The PPI year-on-year was -2.9%, with the decline narrowing compared to July but still lower than the market expectation (-2.88%). The PPI month-on-month was 0%, ending the five - month negative trend. The upstream price regulation continued to show its influence, but the price transmission from the production end to the demand end was still not smooth [2][3][4]. In - depth Perspective: Implications of August Price Data - From the perspective of residents' income, the year - on - year decline of the rent level has remained at -0.1% for six consecutive months since March, indicating that the income improvement trend may have stagnated [5]. - In terms of core indicators, the pork price in August dropped year - on - year to -16.1% and month - on - month to -0.5%. The high inventory of breeding sows led to an oversupply of pork, and the decline in pork price also reflected the contraction of demand, which may continue to drag down the CPI [5][7]. - High - frequency data showed that the prices of various commodities declined, and the upward force on the PPI might weaken [7]. Future Outlook: Trends Seen from August Inflation Data - CPI: This month, the CPI declined more than expected, and the support for the core CPI was still weak. The decline in pork price and international oil price may continue to drag down the CPI. Attention should be paid to the boosting effect of policies on the demand side [8]. - PPI: The PPI trend was still dominated by supply - side price regulation, but the upward momentum weakened. Whether the PPI can maintain the current level in the next month depends on the demand - side's ability to absorb [9]. - Bond Market: The CPI and PPI year - on - year were still in the negative range, and the bond market's continuous correction did not match the fundamentals. In the future, the market may return to the fundamentals, and there are still funds waiting to enter the bond market [9][10][12]
