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].

Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In June, the overall social financing and credit exceeded expectations. The year-on-year growth rate of social financing stock rebounded by 0.2 pct to 8.9%, and credit data improved significantly, becoming one of the main supporting items for social financing [1][6]. - The improvement in short-term loans for enterprises and residents reflects the marginal boost in corporate business activities and residents' spending willingness. However, the impact of seasonal factors needs attention. The positive trend of medium- and long-term loans for residents and enterprises requires attention to its sustainability [1][6]. - The improvement in June's credit data indicates that incremental policies are gradually taking effect, and the economic fundamentals show "resilience." However, structural pressures still exist and may require further policy support [1][6]. - In the bond market, the overall favorable environment for the bond market in the third quarter has not fundamentally changed. The current prominent stock-bond "seesaw" effect is more of a disturbing factor. Long-term interest rates are expected to fluctuate narrowly around 1.65%, and there is no need to overly worry about adjustment risks [1][6]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1.1. In terms of total volume, government bonds and credit form support - In June, the new social financing was 419.93 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 90.08 billion yuan. The year-on-year growth rate of social financing was 8.9%, up 0.2 pct from the previous month. The social financing growth rate (excluding government bonds) was 6.1%, up 0.078 pct from the previous month [7]. - Government bonds remained the core driving force for social financing and are expected to support the economic performance in the second quarter. Fiscal front-loading has been in place since the beginning of the year, and government bond issuance has increased significantly year-on-year. In the second quarter, the net financing of government bonds significantly exceeded the seasonal level [7]. - In June, the new RMB loans (social financing caliber) increased by 16.73 billion yuan year-on-year, exceeding expectations. The improvement in credit supply is due to the seasonal increase in banks' credit supply demand in the end-of-quarter month and the positive factors in economic operation with the continuous implementation of a package of stable growth policies [2][7]. 1.2. In terms of structure, short-term corporate loans performed brightly - In June, the new RMB loans were 224 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11 billion yuan. Among them, short-term loans for residents increased by 1.5 billion yuan year-on-year, medium- and long-term loans for residents increased by 1.51 billion yuan year-on-year, short-term loans for enterprises increased by 49 billion yuan year-on-year, and medium- and long-term loans for enterprises increased by 4 billion yuan year-on-year [13]. - Residents' willingness to increase leverage improved moderately. The "618" promotion and summer travel plans in June may have led to the concentrated release of household consumption demand, and policies such as trade-in of consumer goods also provided support [13]. - Medium- and long-term loans for residents are a comprehensive reflection of the relief of early mortgage repayment pressure and the year-on-year decline in real estate transactions. The reduction of existing mortgage rates may reduce early mortgage repayment, but the reduction of deposit rates in May may increase the pressure [13]. - Short-term corporate loans continued to improve year-on-year, becoming the main supporting item for new credit. This may be due to the end-of-quarter impulse and the implementation of structural monetary policy tools in early May [14]. - The impact of replacement bond issuance on medium- and long-term corporate loans was marginally relieved. The low base in the same period last year and the improvement in corporate operations, as reflected in the PMI data, also contributed to the increase [14]. 1.3. Under the low-base effect, the year-on-year growth of M1 was high - In June, the year-on-year growth rate of M2 was 8.3%, up 0.4% from the previous month and 2.1% from the same period last year. The year-on-year growth rate of M1 was 4.6%, up 2.3% from the previous month and 6.3% from the same period last year [22]. - The increase in residents' deposits was 247 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33 billion yuan. Non-financial corporate deposits increased by 177.73 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 77.73 billion yuan. Fiscal deposits decreased by 82 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 700 million yuan. Non-bank deposits decreased by 52 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34 billion yuan [22]. - The year-on-year and month-on-month growth rates of M1 and M2 both improved, and the year-on-year growth of M1 was significant. This is mainly due to the low-base effect caused by the "manual interest compensation" rectification in April last year and the bond bull market, which led to a decline in M1 and M2 growth last year [22]. - The continuous fiscal efforts at the end of the quarter also supported the growth of M1 and M2. The net financing scale of government bonds in the second quarter this year was significantly higher than that in the same period last year, and fiscal expenditure was strong [23]. - The phased easing of external tariff games and the continuous strengthening of domestic stable growth policies boosted corporate business expectations and residents' consumption confidence, which may have promoted the activation of general deposits [23].
