温彬进一步谈到，一方面，降准释放更充足的长期流动性，在后续政府债券供给高峰时可熨平资金面波 动，强化货币与财政政策的协同效应，稳定社融增长；另一方面，降准有助于优化银行负债结构、节约 负债成本，在一定程度上缓解净息差收窄压力，为降低实体经济融资成本创造空间。此外，为银行体系 提供长期低成本资金，稳定信用扩张，提升对消费、外贸、科技创新、小微民企等特定领域和薄弱环节 的支持力度，增强服务实体经济的动力和可持续性。 中信证券首席经济学家明明分析认为，尽管4月份流动性相对宽松，但5月份政府债供给压力增大，超长 期特别国债、商业银行注资特别国债均有落地，或贡献一定流动性缺口，央行选择在5月份降准，一方 面能进一步降低商业银行负债成本，另一方面也是为了配合财政端发力。 5月15日，降准正式落地。 中国人民银行（以下简称"央行"）5月7日发布公告宣布，自2025年5月15日起，下调金融机构存款准备 金率0.5个百分点（不含已执行5%存款准备金率的金融机构），下调汽车金融公司和金融租赁公司存款 准备金率5个百分点。 此次下调存款准备金率0.5个百分点，向金融市场提供长期流动性约1万亿元。据央行行长潘功胜在5月7 日国新办新 ...

Report Information - Report Title: "Curve: Can It Flatten After Steepening? — Interest Rate Weekly (Week 2 of May)" [1] - Report Date: May 12, 2025 [2] - Chief Analyst: Yan Ziqi [2] - Research Assistant: Hong Ziyan [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Views - The current short - end downward movement depends more on the central bank's stance and operations, as well as the decline of funding rates and certificate of deposit rates. If the marginal indicators improve, the short - end downward space may open up [6] - The long - end is likely to oscillate in the short term, and a downward trend requires catalytic factors. The current bond market is favorable, but more catalysts are needed for interest rates to decline. It is advisable to maintain duration and wait for opportunities, and appropriate leverage can be added under the background of falling funding rates [8][9] Summary by Related Catalogs Short - end Interest Rate Analysis - After the double - cut policy was announced last week, the interest rate curve steepened, with the short - end down nearly 5bp and the long - end flat. The central bank's funding rate DR007 dropped significantly to 1.54% on May 9 [2] - Historically, after the reserve requirement ratio cuts were implemented since 2021, the short - end interest rates declined, oscillated, and increased 3, 2, and 3 times respectively. The necessity of short - end decline after reserve requirement ratio cuts may not be high [2] - Currently, non - bank institutions are buying short - term bonds, but large - bank - dominated allocation disks have not entered the market. Banks have been net sellers in recent weeks. However, large banks' funds lending has increased recently, and if the inter - bank certificate of deposit rate further approaches the policy rate, the short - end downward space may open up [4] - The key factor for the short - end to decline further lies in the central bank's stance and operations, as well as the decline of funding rates and certificate of deposit rates [6] Long - end Interest Rate Analysis - This year, the long - term bond has a high probability of short - term oscillation and needs catalytic factors to decline due to factors such as the weakening of broad - money expectations, repeated tariffs, and narrow term spreads [8] - The central bank's Q1 2025 monetary policy implementation report has relatively neutral impacts on the bond market. Although it mentions secondary trading of treasury bonds, new expressions are put forward to prevent interest rate risks [8] - The April inflation data is in line with expectations. The core CPI maintains a 0.5% positive growth. The real interest rate is close to the historical lower quartile, but the further downward space is limited [8]
