记者丨叶麦穗 编辑丨包芳鸣 宽松的货币环境下，大额存单利率也步步走低，已经步入"0字头"时代。 业内专家指出，这一现象是结构性降息降准引导与商业银行稳定净息差需求共同作用的结果。 展望2026年全年，业内专家普遍认为，在适度宽松货币环境与银行息差压力持续的双重作用 下， 大额存单利率低位运行将成常态， 这标志着居民资产配置逻辑与银行负债管理模式正在 进行角色转化。 短期产品增加 中国货币网数据显示，当前大额存单发行呈现显著短期化特征，多数银行主打1年期及以下短 期品种， 3年期大额存单发行量锐减，5年期产品近乎绝迹。 例如，招商银行仅提供2年期以内产品，其中1年期（含1年）的产品有三个；中国银行在售产 品期限为1个月、3个月、6个月、1年、2年和3年，1年期以下（含1年）的存期的产品最多。 农业银行的情况如出一辙，多数产品集中在1年期之下，3年期的大额存单产品只有一种，且起 点金额为50万元。建设银行则仅有1年期及以下产品可供选择。 低利率的情况也传导到中小银行，比如蒙自农村商业银行3个月的大额存单，目前的利率为 0.9%，和大行没有差别。勐腊农村商业银行今年第一期个人大额存单3个月存期的利率为 0.93%。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The current deposit-taking competition among banks, particularly small and medium-sized banks, is intensifying as they adjust deposit rates to attract funds, despite a general decline in the enthusiasm for such actions compared to previous years [2][5]. Group 1: Deposit Rate Adjustments - Several small and medium-sized banks have recently raised their fixed deposit rates, albeit by limited margins compared to previous years, reflecting a balance between managing funding costs and maintaining market competitiveness [2][3]. - Specific examples include the increase of the one-year and three-year fixed deposit rates by the DeShang Village Bank in Henan and the adjustment of rates by other banks such as the Jiangsu Bank and Shenyang Bank [3][4]. - The overall trend shows that most banks adjusting rates are smaller institutions, with some offering promotional incentives like shopping cards for depositors [4]. Group 2: Market Dynamics and Strategies - The current market for deposits is generally ample, but small regional banks face significant pressure to attract deposits, leading to temporary rate increases as a marketing strategy rather than a long-term trend [5][8]. - Large state-owned banks are not following suit with rate increases but are instead adjusting the minimum deposit thresholds for their products, indicating a strategic shift towards customer relationship management [6][8]. - The dual pressures of maintaining profitability while complying with regulatory standards are influencing banks' strategies, with many seeking sustainable ways to optimize their funding structures [7][8]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts predict that banks will continue to lower funding costs, with potential downward adjustments in deposit rates as net interest margins remain under pressure [8][9]. - The average cost of deposits may decrease by approximately 35 basis points due to the maturity of high-interest deposits, which could improve net interest margins by 10 to 15 basis points [9].

Group 1 - The 2026 first loan market quotation rate (LPR) remains unchanged for eight consecutive months, with the one-year LPR at 3.0% and the five-year LPR at 3.5% [1] - The seven-day reverse repurchase rate has not changed since its reduction in May 2025, indicating stability in the pricing basis for LPR [1] - Despite signs of stabilization in net interest margins for banks, there is pressure to maintain stable margins due to ongoing efforts to reduce costs for the real economy, limiting the motivation to lower LPR [1] Group 2 - A structural "rate cut" was implemented on January 19, 2026, with a reduction of 0.25 percentage points in re-lending and rediscount rates, resulting in new rates of 0.95%, 1.15%, and 1.25% for various terms [2] - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) indicates there is still room for further policy adjustments, with stable exchange rates and a favorable internal environment for potential rate cuts [2] - Predictions suggest that LPR may decrease in 2026 due to ongoing reductions in deposit rates and the re-pricing of maturing fixed-term deposits, which will lower banks' funding costs [2]

虽然LPR连续持稳，但年内仍有降准降息的可能，进而将带动LPR下行。央行副行长邹澜日前在国新办 举行的新闻发布会上明确表示，今年降准降息仍有一定空间。 此外，银行主动压降LPR加点的动力也不足。东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青对《证券日报》记者表示， 近期包括1年期银行同业存单到期收益率(AAA级)在内的主要中长端市场利率保持稳定，商业银行在货 币市场的融资成本变化不大；在商业银行净息差处于历史最低点的背景下，当前报价行缺乏主动下调 LPR报价加点的动力。 国家金融监督管理总局公布的数据显示，2025年三季度末商业银行净息差为1.42%，与二季度末持平。 尽管净息差有企稳迹象，但仍处于历史低位。 截至目前，两个期限LPR已经连续8个月"按兵不动"。王青认为，2025年6月份以来，LPR保持不变是受 出口持续偏强、以高技术制造业为代表的新质生产力领域较快发展等因素影响；2025年宏观经济顶住外 部波动压力，顺利完成全年增长目标，下半年货币政策得以保持较强定力。 今年首期LPR(贷款市场报价利率)出炉。1月20日，中国人民银行(以下简称"央行")授权全国银行间同业 拆借中心公布，2026年1月20日，1年期LPR为3. ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the stability of the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) in early 2026, indicating that the current monetary policy environment is not conducive to immediate rate cuts, despite some structural easing measures being implemented [3][4][5]. Group 1: LPR Stability - The 1-year LPR remains at 3.0% and the 5-year LPR at 3.5%, consistent with market expectations due to stable policy rates and banks' historical low net interest margins [4][5]. - The LPR has remained unchanged for eight consecutive months since a 10 basis point reduction in May 2025, reflecting a lack of motivation for banks to lower their LPR quotes further [3][4][6]. Group 2: Monetary Policy Context - Recent structural easing measures by the central bank suggest a cautious approach to monetary policy, with a focus on observing market conditions before making further adjustments [4][8]. - The weighted average interest rates for new corporate loans and personal housing loans were approximately 3.1% in December 2025, showing a decline of 2.5 and 2.6 percentage points respectively since the second half of 2018 [7]. Group 3: Future Rate Cut Potential - There is a belief that while there is some room for rate cuts, the urgency for a broad reduction in rates is low, especially with stable net interest margins observed in banks [7][9]. - Analysts suggest that the timing and pace of any potential rate cuts will be critical, with expectations that the overall environment may delay comprehensive rate reductions [8][10]. Group 4: Policy Coordination - The article emphasizes the importance of coordinated macroeconomic policies, where fiscal policy plays a crucial role in incentivizing financial resources to support key sectors, while monetary policy should facilitate this process [10].
