Core Viewpoint - The Loan Prime Rate (LPR) has been lowered for the first time in 2025, with the one-year LPR at 3.00% and the five-year LPR at 3.50%, both down by 10 basis points from previous levels [1][3]. Group 1: Impact on Financing Costs - The reduction in LPR is expected to lower financing costs for both enterprises and residents. For instance, a 10 basis point decrease in LPR would reduce the monthly payment by approximately 54 yuan and the total repayment amount by around 20,000 yuan for a 1 million yuan mortgage over 30 years [3]. - The recent reduction in public housing loan rates by 0.25 percentage points may create a favorable environment for further adjustments in commercial housing loan rates, thereby reducing the overall cost for homebuyers [3]. Group 2: Market Expectations and Reactions - The market had anticipated this adjustment, following the central bank's announcement of comprehensive "interest rate cuts" measures, including a 10 basis point reduction in the 7-day reverse repurchase rate and a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the reserve requirement ratio [4]. - Major banks, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China, collectively lowered deposit rates across various products, with the one-year fixed deposit rate reduced by 15 basis points to 0.95% [4]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts suggest that if policy rates and deposit rates continue to decline, there remains potential for further reductions in LPR, with future adjustments needing to balance multiple economic objectives [6].

It is recommended to reduce long positions and be vigilant against adjustment risks [7] Group 4: Futures Premium and Discount - The IF, IH, IC, and IM contracts showed different premium and discount rates for different contract periods [8]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - Despite the 0.5% reserve requirement ratio cut on Thursday, the funding situation tightened marginally due to factors such as MLF maturity and increased government bond payments. The fluctuations in the funding situation on these two days are considered temporary shocks [2][3]. - Although the excess reserve ratio remains low, the continuous increase in the central bank's net lending to banks from March to April has led to a marginal loosening of funds, which may indicate that the central bank is regulating the funding situation through implicit support for banks. The central bank may not intend to let the funding rate decline significantly in the short - term, and the target central DR007 rate may still be above 1.5% [3]. - It is expected that the central funding rate next week will not rise significantly, and the central DR007 rate is likely to remain between 1.5% - 1.6% [4]. Summary by Directory I. Money Market 1.1 This Week's Funding Review - The central bank's reverse repurchase had a net withdrawal of 350.1 billion yuan this week, with 125 billion yuan of MLF maturing on Thursday and a 0.5% reserve requirement ratio cut implemented on the same day. The funding rate declined significantly in the first half of the week, with R001 dropping to the range of 1.4% - 1.45%. However, after the reserve requirement ratio cut on Thursday, the funding tightened marginally. On Friday, the central bank made a small - scale net injection, and the DR007 rose to 1.64% [2][7]. - The volume of pledged repurchase first increased and then decreased, with the average daily trading volume rising by 0.33 trillion yuan to 7.14 trillion yuan. The overall scale of pledged repurchase also showed the same trend. The net lending of large - scale banks, joint - stock banks, and city commercial banks decreased on Friday. The new - caliber funding gap index decreased to - 486.5 billion on Wednesday and rebounded to - 102.8 billion on Friday, still lower than last Friday's - 15 [3][16]. - The funding rate turned loose as expected this week, with the overnight rate dropping to around 1.4%. However, after the reserve requirement ratio cut on Thursday, the funding tightened marginally. The main reason for the funding fluctuations may be the net payment of 685.8 billion yuan for government bonds and the net withdrawal of 475.1 billion yuan from reverse repurchase and MLF this week, which are roughly equivalent to the scale of the reserve requirement ratio cut [3][18]. - The excess reserve ratio in April decreased by 0.1 percentage points to 0.9% compared to March, lower than expected. The main reason is the significant decrease in the central bank's claims on other depository corporations. Other factors include the higher - than - expected increase in fiscal deposits, the slower - than - expected cash return, the increase in the central bank's claims on other financial corporations, and the decrease in the central bank's claims on the government [20]. 1.2 Next Week's Funding Outlook - The scale of government bond net payments will decrease from 685.8 billion yuan this week to 437.9 billion yuan next week. The scale of reverse repurchase maturity is 486 billion yuan, and May 22nd is the tax payment deadline. Considering the central bank's attitude of maintaining stability, the probability of a significant increase in the central funding rate next week is limited, and the central DR007 rate is likely to remain between 1.5% - 1.6% [4][39]. - The scale of 10Y coupon - bearing treasury bonds and 50Y special treasury bonds issued in May is higher than expected. The assumption of net treasury bond financing in May is raised to 940 billion yuan, and the assumption of net local government bond financing in May remains at 670 billion yuan. It is estimated that the scale of government bond issuance in May is about 2.42 trillion yuan, and the net financing is about 1.61 trillion yuan [3][4]. II. Inter - bank Certificates of Deposit - The 1 - year Shibor rate decreased by 4.0BP to 1.67%. The 1 - year secondary rate of AAA - rated inter - bank certificates of deposit increased by 1.5BP to 1.675% [40]. - The issuance scale of inter - bank certificates of deposit decreased while the maturity scale increased, resulting in a net repayment of 799 million yuan. The net financing scales of state - owned banks, joint - stock banks, city commercial banks, and rural commercial banks are 90 million yuan, - 848 million yuan, - 63 million yuan, and - 7 million yuan respectively. The issuance proportion of 1 - year certificates of deposit decreased by 14 percentage points to 23%, and the issuance proportion of 3 - month certificates of deposit is the highest at 57%. The maturity scale of certificates of deposit next week is about 74.6 billion yuan, an increase of 15.22 billion yuan compared to this week [4][42]. - The issuance success rates of certificates of deposit of various banks decreased slightly compared to last week but remained close to the average level in recent years. The issuance spread of 1 - year certificates of deposit between city commercial banks and joint - stock banks widened. The demand for certificates of deposit from money market funds and funds weakened, while the willingness of wealth management products and other products to increase their holdings of certificates of deposit increased. The supply - demand relative strength index of certificates of deposit continued to rise, increasing by 3.7 percentage points to 47.7% compared to last week [4][55]. III. Bill Market - The bill rate first decreased and then increased this week. The 3 - month and 6 - month rates of state - owned and joint - stock banks increased by 5BP to 1.14% and 1.13% respectively [62]. IV. Bond Trading Sentiment Tracking - The bond market adjusted this week, and the credit spread narrowed. The willingness of large - scale banks to reduce their bond holdings decreased, mainly for perpetual bonds and policy - bank bonds. The willingness of trading - type institutions to slightly reduce their bond holdings increased, while the willingness of allocation - type institutions such as rural commercial banks, insurance companies, and wealth management products to increase their bond holdings generally increased [65].
