Group 1 - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of 106.5 billion yuan at a stable interest rate of 1.40%, resulting in a net liquidity withdrawal of 225 billion yuan due to 331.5 billion yuan of reverse repos maturing on the same day [1] - The central bank's net liquidity withdrawal in the previous week was 1.3753 trillion yuan, with daily net withdrawals exceeding 250 billion yuan, indicating a tightening of the funding environment [1] - Despite the accelerated pace of net withdrawals by the central bank, the funding market is showing a seasonal trend of easing, with overnight and 7-day funding rates hitting new lows for the year [1] Group 2 - The upcoming week (July 7-11) will see a decrease in the scale of reverse repos maturing to 652.2 billion yuan, with government bond net payments expected to rise to 251.1 billion yuan, primarily concentrated on Monday [2] - The market is anticipated to experience a "stable period" in funding prices, with overnight rates expected to fluctuate around the OMO ±5 basis points range and 7-day funding rates likely to remain below 1.5% [2] - The central bank has not announced any buyout reverse repos or government bond trading operations for June, with 1.2 trillion yuan of buyout reverse repos maturing in July, creating a potential funding gap [3] Group 3 - The market may face a 1.3 trillion yuan medium- to long-term funding gap until the MLF renewal on July 25, making the central bank's decision on whether to conduct buyout reverse repo auctions a key variable for the funding market [3] - The expectation is that the supply of government bonds in July will not significantly increase compared to June, and the central bank's desire to prevent long-term yields from declining unilaterally remains [3] - The central bank's proactive stance on liquidity and the continued decline in money market rates are seen as the most certain factors, with short-term rates potentially having further room to decline [4]

Group 1 - The report emphasizes that the liquidity environment is currently stable and loose, with the first week of July being the most favorable window for liquidity in the third quarter. Factors such as tax payments and government bond issuances later in July may cause seasonal fluctuations, but overall liquidity is expected to remain stable [3][11][18] - The report indicates that the interbank deposit rates have reached a downtrend, with the one-year NCD rates stabilizing around 1.6%. The expected range for these rates is between 1.4% and 1.8%, with a midpoint of 1.6% [16][19] - The report suggests that public fund positions and durations have risen to high levels, indicating a lack of incremental funds to support further increases. This leads to a strategy of "riding the tiger," where institutions are cautious about making significant changes to their positions [17][18] Group 2 - The report reiterates that if long-term interest rates decline towards the end of the third quarter, it may lead to a "central downtrend market." However, if this occurs earlier, it is likely to be a "trading market." The main themes for the bond market in the third quarter are liability repair and yield recovery [4][20][21] - The report advises institutions to hold positions and wait for potential gains, particularly during the liquidity easing period in early July and the policy negotiation period at the end of the month. The one-year government bond yield is expected to stabilize around 1.3% [5][23] - The report highlights that a significant downward breakthrough in long-term rates requires an "inverted yield curve" scenario, where major banks or the central bank provide incremental buying support for short-term bonds, allowing the one-year government bond yield to drop below 1.3% [5][23][24]

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the impact of currency fluctuations, particularly the appreciation of the Renminbi (RMB) against the US dollar, on the financial market and liquidity conditions in China. The overall trend indicates a loosening of monetary conditions driven by external factors rather than seasonal variations [1][2][5]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Monetary Policy and Liquidity** - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has been guiding liquidity conditions, leading to a significant drop in overnight and 7-day repurchase rates, which are at record lows. This indicates a trend of decreasing funding costs [1][3][4]. 2. **Impact of Currency Appreciation** - The passive appreciation of the RMB is primarily influenced by the depreciation of the US dollar and external economic policies, which have resulted in a more favorable liquidity environment in China [1][5][9]. 3. **Expectations for Future Interest Rates** - There is an expectation that short-term interest rates (DR001 and R007) will continue to decline, potentially reaching levels as low as 1.2. This trend is expected to benefit short-term financial instruments such as certificates of deposit and credit bonds [11][12]. 4. **Market Sentiment and Economic Outlook** - The current liquidity conditions are seen as a positive signal for the economy, with expectations of continued support for the bond market despite a lack of significant improvement in the underlying economic fundamentals [13][14]. 5. **External Factors and Market Dynamics** - The weakening of confidence in the US dollar due to recent US government policies has led to a shift in capital flows towards non-USD currencies, including the RMB. This shift is expected to further influence domestic liquidity and market conditions [8][17]. 6. **Potential for Future Rate Cuts** - If external economic conditions change, the PBOC may need to implement earlier and more substantial interest rate cuts to manage the appreciation of the RMB. Current market pricing does not fully reflect these potential rate cuts [3][16]. 7. **Investor Recommendations** - The period from July to September is anticipated to be favorable for interest rates, with expectations of significant returns across the yield curve. Investors are encouraged to seize opportunities in the upcoming issuance of long-term government bonds [18]. Other Important Insights - The PBOC's recent policy adjustments indicate a more proactive stance on managing exchange rates and liquidity, reflecting a shift in their approach to monetary policy [10]. - The market's optimistic outlook is supported by increased borrowing demand and the stability provided by major banks, despite temporary liquidity tightness observed at the end of the first half of the year [15].

Core Insights - The report highlights a rare phenomenon of "crowded" trading in a volatile market, where trading activity has increased despite stable interest rates and unclear market direction [3][8] - The micro trading sentiment index has risen from 36% to 58% over the past 20 trading days, indicating a significant increase in trading enthusiasm [8][27] - The report questions whether the rising trading heat necessarily indicates valuation imbalance, suggesting that high trading activity does not inherently mean that pricing is unreasonable [5][16] Trading Characteristics - Recent market trading behavior shows a clear warming trend, particularly in two dimensions: consistent duration extension and consistent yield spread compression [4][14] - The market is exhibiting a unified behavior of extending duration, with fund durations rising to high levels and a decrease in the divergence of holding durations [4][14] - There is a notable shift of funds towards less active bonds, leading to a significant increase in their trading volume, reflecting a strong trading willingness despite limited downward space for interest rates [4][14] Valuation Assessment - The report argues that high trading heat does not equate to pricing imbalance, emphasizing that the rationality of interest rate pricing is based on macro fundamentals, liquidity, and policy expectations [5][16] - Current interest rates have not broken previous lows, indicating that the market retains a degree of caution regarding fundamental directions and policy expectations [5][16] - The report's constructed micro trading indicators show significant differences in crowdedness metrics, with trading heat indicators at 63% and pricing matching indicators at only 26%, suggesting that the risk of significant pricing imbalance is manageable [17][24] Liquidity and Market Dynamics - Marginal improvements in liquidity provide a foundation for interest rate compression, with a notable decline in funding costs since June [6][19] - The report indicates that the current round of yield spread convergence is not solely due to trading "involution," but is supported by an improved funding environment [6][19] - The relationship between funding prices and economic marginal trends has been highlighted, with a successful signal identification model showing a high success rate in predicting funding rate directions based on PMI data [20][21] Historical Context - The report draws parallels to the 2022 interest rate fluctuation phase, where high trading heat coexisted with reasonable pricing, suggesting that current trading characteristics may not trigger systemic adjustments [27][28]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - The inter - bank market's funding situation remained loose on Thursday, with overnight rates oscillating at a low level around 1.36%. The 7 - day weighted average rate dropped 3.79bp to 1.4674%. The central bank's liquidity injection is expected to stay loose due to external uncertainties from trade frictions, but the scope for further loosening of the funding situation is limited as long - term bond yields are relatively low and the inter - bank bond market leverage ratio has risen above 108% [4]. - The stock index continued to fluctuate and rise. The US - Vietnam trade agreement may have a negative impact on China's re - export trade, while the lifting of export restrictions on China by three US chip design software suppliers will boost the relevant A - share electronics sector. In the short term, the stock index may present a volatile pattern due to shrinking trading volume and lackluster domestic and foreign positive factors. In the long term, the Politburo meeting in late July will set the policy tone for the second half of the year. Given the possible deterioration of real estate sales and investment and the overall weakness of consumption, policies are expected to further support domestic demand. Additionally, the uncertain US tariff policy, the approaching Fed rate - cut time, and changes in overseas liquidity and geopolitical patterns will bring phased trading opportunities for the stock index [6]. 3.

Group 1: Bond Market Performance - The bond market shows a relatively strong trend post-quarter, with long-end contracts outperforming short-end contracts. As of July 2, the main contracts TL, T, TF, and TS increased by 0.40%, 0.14%, 0.07%, and 0.03% respectively [1] Group 2: Manufacturing PMI - The official manufacturing PMI for June rose by 0.2 percentage points to 49.7%, indicating a continued recovery in domestic manufacturing sentiment. Key sub-indices showed improvement, with the production index at 51.0% and the new orders index at 50.2%, both reflecting stable performance [2] - The increase in the new orders index was primarily driven by domestic demand, while new export orders saw a limited rebound to 47.7%. The raw material inventory index rose by 0.6 percentage points to 48.0%, suggesting an increased willingness among manufacturers to replenish stocks [2] - Manufacturing prices also showed signs of recovery, with the factory price index and major raw material purchase price index rising to 46.2% and 48.4%, respectively, both up by 1.5 percentage points from the previous month [2] Group 3: Funding Conditions - Post-quarter, the funding environment is trending towards looseness, with DR001 and DR007 rates falling to approximately 1.37% and 1.54%.

However, further easing may depend on adjustments to policy rates [3] Group 4: Investment Strategy - The recommendation is to maintain a neutral to slightly bullish stance in trading strategies. Given the current flat yield curve, a loosening of funding conditions is necessary for short-term rates to decline, suggesting a strategy of accumulating TS positions on dips [4] - Attention should be paid to potential profit-taking as bond prices rise significantly, and the existence of a yield spread between new and old 30-year government bonds provides some protection for the bond market [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - In June, the capital market was loose with a slight downward shift in the capital center under the central bank's care. In July, the capital market may continue to be moderately loose due to favorable factors, but it may not loosen significantly [2][4][6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 6 - Month Review: Central Bank's Care Leads to Slight Downward Shift in Capital Center - **Capital Market Looseness**: In June, the capital market remained loose, with most - term capital centers moving down. DR001, DR007, and DR014 operation centers decreased by 11bp, 2bp, and 1bp respectively compared to May. DR001 mostly operated below the policy rate, and the deviation of DR007 from the policy rate "anti - seasonally" narrowed [2][12]. - **Central Bank's Warm Attitude**: The central bank showed a warm attitude. It conducted two outright reverse - repurchase operations in June with early announcements, net - injecting 2000 billion yuan. MLF continued to increase, with a net injection of 118 billion yuan in June. The central bank's total net - injected funds in June were the second - highest among the same periods since 2018 [16]. - **Inter - bank Certificate of Deposit (NCD)**: In June, the maturity scale of NCDs reached a record high, and the issuance scale was the second - highest in history. However, the NCD issuance rate, after rising in mid - to - late May, started to decline in June under the central bank's long - term capital injection. The R - DR spread seasonally widened [3][19][21]. 3.2 7 - Month Outlook: Capital Market May Continue to be Moderately Loose under Favorable Factors - **Historical Seasonal Pattern**: Historically, capital rates in July tend to decline seasonally. Since 2018, the capital market in July has been more relaxed than in June, mainly manifested by the narrowing of the deviation of DR007 from the policy rate [4][24]. - **Exchange Rate Factor**: The recent dissipation of RMB depreciation pressure and the exchange rate approaching 7.15 mean that the current exchange - rate environment no longer restricts the central bank's monetary easing [4]. - **Central Bank's Mention of "Preventing Capital Idling"**: Although the central bank mentioned "preventing capital idling" in the second - quarter monetary policy meeting, since 2024, when this statement was made, the capital rate did not rise significantly. The central bank's frequent mention of it in 2025 may not be directly related to a change in its attitude [5][31][32]. - **Liquidity Gap**: In July, the net financing pressure of government bonds will slightly increase by 80 billion yuan compared to June. The increase in government deposits may widen the liquidity gap. Considering the maturity of monetary tools, the liquidity gap will be 2.06 trillion yuan. Assuming the central bank conducts equal - amount roll - overs, the estimated excess - reserve ratio in July is about 1.3%, slightly lower than in June [6][37][42].
