Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has maintained the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) unchanged for five consecutive months, indicating a stable macroeconomic environment and a low necessity for further adjustments in the short term [2][4]. Summary by Sections LPR Rate Announcement - As of October 20, the 1-year LPR remains at 3%, and the 5-year LPR is at 3.5%, unchanged from previous rates [2]. Economic Context - The stability in LPR is attributed to a moderately strong macroeconomic performance in the first half of the year, reducing the urgency for rate cuts [4]. - PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng highlighted that China's economic growth continues to be among the highest globally, and the central bank will maintain a moderately loose monetary policy to support consumption and investment [4]. Future Expectations - Several institutions anticipate that the PBOC may implement new interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratio reductions in the fourth quarter, which could lead to lower loan rates for businesses and households [4]. - This potential adjustment is seen as a crucial measure to stimulate domestic financing demand and counteract the slowdown in external demand [4]. A-Share Market Reaction - A table summarizing the A-share market performance following previous LPR adjustments indicates varying impacts on the Shanghai Composite Index, with some adjustments leading to positive returns over different time frames [5].

Core Viewpoint - The expectation is that the LPR (Loan Prime Rate) will remain unchanged in October, as various analysts believe there is no urgent need for a reduction given the current economic conditions and credit data [1][5][6]. Group 1: LPR Stability - Analysts predict that both the one-year and five-year LPR will hold steady in October due to stable policy interest rates and positive credit data [1][2]. - The current low levels of corporate and personal loan rates suggest that lowering the LPR is not a priority at this time [3][6]. - The pressure on bank interest margins and the need to meet year-end credit targets are factors contributing to the expectation of no change in the LPR [5][6]. Group 2: Future Rate Adjustments - Some analysts anticipate a potential reduction of 10 to 30 basis points in the LPR by the end of the year, particularly if external economic pressures, such as U.S. tariff policies, continue to impact global trade [4][10]. - The possibility of a rate cut is also supported by the need to stimulate credit demand and stabilize the real estate market [10][11]. - The recent actions of the People's Bank of China, including significant reverse repurchase operations, indicate a cautious approach to interest rate adjustments, aiming to avoid excessive pressure on bank margins [6][8]. Group 3: External Influences - The recent 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve is seen as a factor that could influence future LPR adjustments, although its immediate impact is limited [7][8]. - Analysts note that the domestic banking sector's pressure on interest margins may necessitate a prior reduction in deposit rates before any LPR cuts can effectively lower loan rates [8][10]. - The overall economic environment, including inflation levels and credit demand, will play a crucial role in determining the timing and extent of any future LPR adjustments [9][11].

标普：中国房地产市场仍在探底。预计2025年全国新房销售额将下降8%至8.8-9万亿元，2026年将下降6%-7%。土地收购大幅超额，加上2025-2026年销售额低于预期，可能会对一些开发商的信用状况造成风险。购房者信心依然脆弱。因此预计政府可能会推出进一步的措施来支持需求。然而，额外的支持措施可能只会逐步推出，并且会根据具体城市的具体情况而定。五年期LPR今年仅调降10基点，不及去年全年的60基点，表明政府没有像过往一样加大放松力度。租金下降也将压低房价。随着租金持续下跌，预计投资者需求将持续低迷。潜在购房者也可能选择租房而非购房。🗒️标普此前预期今年销售额下降3%。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) is expected to maintain a moderately loose monetary policy, potentially implementing reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cuts and interest rate reductions, but large-scale rate cuts are deemed unrealistic [1][5][6]. Monetary Policy Outlook - PBOC will utilize various monetary policy tools to ensure ample liquidity and lower overall financing costs, supporting economic recovery [1]. - The current Loan Prime Rate (LPR) has remained unchanged at 3.0% for one-year and 3.5% for five-year loans for four consecutive months, indicating a cautious approach to rate adjustments [1][4]. - The recent U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts provide a more favorable external environment for China's monetary policy, potentially easing pressure on interest rates and the RMB exchange rate [3][5]. Interest Rate Dynamics - The average interest rate for new corporate loans in August was approximately 3.1%, down about 40 basis points year-on-year, while the average for new personal housing loans was also around 3.1%, down 25 basis points [4]. - The necessity for LPR reductions is questioned, as current rates are already at historical lows and the recent market operations have not indicated a need for immediate changes [4][5]. Constraints on LPR Changes - Factors limiting LPR adjustments include bank interest margins, which have decreased to 1.42%, and the already low deposit rates, which may restrict further reductions [3][5]. - The PBOC's focus will be on balancing internal and external factors while maintaining a stable economic environment, with RRR cuts prioritized over interest rate cuts [5][6]. Future Expectations - A potential RRR cut of 0.25 to 0.5 percentage points is anticipated in the fourth quarter, aimed at enhancing market liquidity [6]. - If policy and deposit rates continue to decline, there remains a possibility for LPR to decrease by 5 to 10 basis points later this year, although expectations should be tempered [6]. Structural Support Measures - Beyond lowering LPR, reducing non-interest costs and providing more policy support for key sectors will be essential for lowering overall financing costs [7]. - The collaboration between monetary policy and fiscal measures, such as interest subsidies and risk compensation, will be crucial in enhancing financial support for consumption and domestic demand [7].

不过，LPR变动仍然受到多方面因素的影响和制约。董希淼表示，首先是银行息差方面的约束。如果 LPR下降过快，银行息差加快收窄，不利于保持银行体系稳健性和服务实体经济持续性。其次是存款利 率方面的约束。今年存款利率多次下调之后，大型商业银行存款挂牌利率创新低，未来降低存款利率的 空间已经不大。而且，当前新发放贷款利率在上年同期较低的水平上继续下降，已经处于历史低位。 董希淼预计，央行将坚持"以我为主"，兼顾内外平衡，继续实施适度宽松的货币政策，降准降息都还有 较大可能和一定空间，但降准会优于降息。如果政策利率和存款利率继续降低，金融机构资金成本持续 下行，LPR仍有下降的可能。未来一段时间，LPR的变动需兼顾短期与长期、内部与外部等因素，努力 在稳增长、稳息差、稳外贸等多重目标之间保持动态平衡。 展望未来，业内专家认为，随着美联储开启新一轮降息，我国货币政策操作空间进一步拓宽。招联首席 研究员董希淼表示，近期美联储开启2024年12月以来的首次降息，为全球市场提供更宽松的流动性环 境。而且，美联储年底前还可能继续降息。在这种趋势下，中美利差压力和人民币汇率压力将有所减 轻，外部约束减弱，将为中国货币政策带来更为 ...
