1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current price increase is not a comprehensive upward movement, and it is difficult to have a trend impact on interest rates. The structural recovery of prices due to supply - side issues makes the foundation for overall economic recovery and comprehensive price increases unstable. The central bank may keep the monetary policy stable or make only minor adjustments, and the bond market pressure is limited [5][29] 3.
