1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not provide the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - The central bank's operations in August are more optimistic than in June. In terms of timing, the purchase - style reverse repurchase was timely, and there was better coordination with fiscal policies. In terms of quantity, the net purchase - style reverse repurchase in August was more than in June, and there was no withdrawal of 6 - month liquidity. The net injection during the tax period was also higher than in June. The funds' central price has declined compared to June [3][16]. - Looking forward, considering the historical low of credit in July, the negative month - on - month growth of social retail and investment in July, the downward trend of bill rates, and the continuous increase in government bond issuance, the central bank will maintain a suitable financial environment, and liquidity can remain optimistic. There is no need to worry about "preventing idle capital circulation" as the central bank focuses on standardizing bank loans rather than raising capital rates [3][21]. - For certificates of deposit (CDs), the net financing of state - owned banks' CDs turned negative again last week. Under the central bank's support, the supply side is not a constraint. The secondary - market trading volume has continued to shrink, and yields have fluctuated within a narrow range. Institutions mostly adopt a configuration strategy. The supply - side pressure is relatively limited, and considering the low - level funds, the configuration value of CDs above 1.65% is not low. CDs may perform well when risk appetite declines and interest rates return to the fundamental logic [23]. 3.
