Core Insights - In September, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.1% month-on-month, while year-on-year it decreased by 0.3%. The core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose by 1.0%, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth and the first time in 19 months it returned to 1% [1][3] - The Producer Price Index (PPI) remained flat month-on-month and decreased by 2.3% year-on-year, with the decline narrowing by 0.6 percentage points compared to August [1][5] CPI Analysis - The month-on-month CPI increase was driven by a 0.7% rise in food prices, which contributed approximately 0.13 percentage points to the CPI increase. Industrial consumer goods prices, excluding energy, rose by 0.5%, contributing about 0.12 percentage points [2] - Year-on-year, the CPI decline of 0.3% was primarily influenced by a 4.4% drop in food prices and a 2.7% decrease in energy prices, which together accounted for a significant portion of the CPI decrease [2][3] Core CPI Insights - The core CPI's year-on-year increase of 1.0% reflects a sustained improvement, with industrial consumer goods prices, excluding energy, rising by 1.8%. Notably, gold and platinum jewelry prices surged by 42.1% and 33.6%, respectively [3] - The increase in core CPI is attributed to the effects of consumption promotion policies, with rising prices in home appliances and mobile phones contributing positively [3] PPI Insights - The PPI's year-on-year decline of 2.3% shows signs of stabilization in certain industries, with improved supply-demand dynamics leading to reduced price declines in sectors like coal processing and non-metallic mineral products [5] - The expected annual PPI decline is projected at 2.7%, influenced by ongoing market competition optimization and the effects of "anti-involution" policies [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The CPI showed a slight improvement in September 2025, with limited improvement in both year - on - year and month - on - month growth rates. The core CPI's year - on - year increase has been expanding for five consecutive months. The PPI's month - on - month growth rate remained flat for two consecutive months, and the processing industry's prices decreased month - on - month. The PPI's year - on - year growth rate may be at the bottom and on the rise, but there is obvious structural differentiation [2][7]. - Regarding interest - rate bonds, since August 2025, the yield curve of treasury bonds has steepened, with short - term yields being stable and long - term yields rising significantly. The current bond market should be viewed more optimistically, and the duration selection can be from short to long, maintaining the view that the fluctuation center of the 10Y treasury bond yield is 1.7%. For convertible bonds, although they are relatively high - quality assets in the long run, they are currently in a high - level valuation compression stage and require more attention to structure [3][19][28]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event - On October 15, 2025, the National Bureau of Statistics released the CPI and PPI data for September 2025. The CPI decreased by 0.3% year - on - year (previous value: - 0.4%), the core CPI increased by 1.0% year - on - year (previous value: 0.9%), and the PPI decreased by 2.3% year - on - year (previous value: - 2.9%) [1][6]. 3.2 Comment 3.2.1 CPI - In September 2025, the CPI's year - on - year and month - on - month growth rates improved to some extent compared with the previous month, but the improvement was limited. The month - on - month growth rate was within the seasonal fluctuation range [7]. - Structurally, food prices improved month - on - month (with a month - on - month growth rate of 0.7%, up from 0.5% last month), energy and service prices decreased month - on - month (energy prices decreased by 0.8% month - on - month, and service prices decreased by 0.3% month - on - month), and the core CPI's year - on - year increase continued to expand [8]. 3.2.2 PPI - In September 2025, the PPI's year - on - year decline narrowed, and the month - on - month growth rate remained flat for two consecutive months. Among the production materials, the year - on - year decline of the mining, raw materials, and processing industries all narrowed, but the processing industry's prices decreased month - on - month [13][14]. - Looking forward, with the continuous implementation of the "anti - involution" policy, the PPI's year - on - year growth rate may be at the bottom and on the rise, but there is obvious structural differentiation, and the price increase of upstream mining has not been effectively transmitted to the mid - and downstream industrial products [17]. 3.3 Bond Market Viewpoint 3.3.1 Interest - rate Bonds - Since August 2025, the yield of treasury bonds has shown obvious differentiation, with short - term yields being stable and long - term yields rising significantly. Since the end of September, the yield spread between 10Y and 1Y treasury bonds has narrowed, while the spread between 30Y and 10Y treasury bonds has widened. Currently, the capital market is relatively loose, and the bond market should be viewed more optimistically, with the duration selection from short to long, and the fluctuation center of the 10Y treasury bond yield is maintained at 1.7% [19][22]. 3.3.2 Convertible Bonds - As of October 14, 2025, the CSI Convertible Bond Index had a return of + 15.7% since the beginning of the year. Currently, the valuation quantiles of convertible bonds are close to or exceed historical highs, so an oscillatory pattern is inevitable. In the long run, convertible bonds are relatively high - quality assets, but at present, more attention should be paid to the structure [28].

Group 1: CPI Analysis - In September, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.1% month-on-month and decreased by 0.3% year-on-year, with the core CPI (excluding food and energy) rising by 1% year-on-year, marking the first return to this level in 19 months [1][4] - The year-on-year decline in CPI was primarily due to a "tail effect," with food prices dropping by 4.4%, significantly impacting the overall CPI [4][5] - The increase in core CPI is attributed to the effects of consumption promotion policies and rising prices in appliances and mobile phones, which offset the decline in food prices [4][5] Group 2: PPI Analysis - The Producer Price Index (PPI) remained flat month-on-month in September, with a year-on-year decline of 2.3%, a reduction in the decline by 0.6 percentage points compared to the previous month [6][7] - The flat PPI reflects weak domestic demand despite stable international oil prices and rising copper prices, with certain export-heavy industries facing price pressures [6][7] - Future PPI trends are expected to remain flat in October, with a year-on-year decline projected to be around 2.2%, indicating challenges in turning positive by year-end [6][7]
