Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The current weighted average rate of R007 is around 1.50%. Its pricing includes DR007, representing the central bank's desired pricing, and the "bank - non - bank" liquidity friction (the spread between R007 and DR007). It's not advisable to hold overly optimistic expectations [1]. - The R007 weighted average rate around 1.50% is reasonably priced. DR007 is unlikely to deviate significantly below the central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchase rate, and 1.40% effectively forms the lower limit of DR007. The spread between R007 and DR007 is at a low level. Considering the increase in the large - scale current deposit rate of non - legal person products, R007 should not be lower than 1.50%. This also means that the current yield levels of inter - bank certificates of deposit and short - term credit bonds are reasonable [2][3]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1 R007 weighted average rate 1.50% high? - R007 is a key indicator for measuring the cost of funds for non - bank institutions and products in the inter - bank market. Its pricing consists of DR007 and the "bank - non - bank" liquidity friction. DR007 reflects the central bank's expected management and fluctuates around the central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchase rate. R007 is generally higher than DR007, and the friction varies with market liquidity [11]. - In the past week, the R007 weighted average rate around 1.50% is reasonably priced. DR007 is unlikely to deviate significantly below the central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchase rate, with 1.40% as the lower limit. The spread between R007 and DR007 is low. From the perspective of opportunity cost, R007 should not be lower than 1.50%. The current yield levels of inter - bank certificates of deposit and short - term credit bonds are also reasonable [12][13]. 2 Narrow - sense liquidity 2.1 Central bank operations - Short - term liquidity: The central bank conducts short - term liquidity operations to smooth out peaks and troughs.
