1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The recovery of prices will form the fundamental basis for the upward movement of bond yields in 2026. If the PPI month - on - month can maintain 0.15 - 0.2%, it is only a matter of time before the year - on - year price recovery reaches 2%. The "potential inflation 2.0%" will form the lower limit of the 10 - year treasury bond. The 10 - year treasury bond is expected to fluctuate in the range of 2 - 3%, with a central value of 2.5% [1][5]. - The economic recovery falling short of expectations has been disproven. Coupled with possible broad credit and broad fiscal policies at the beginning of 2026, the economic cycle will accelerate its recovery. If there are broad monetary policies, it will be a chance to reduce holdings, similar to 2025. Attention should be paid to whether the PPI month - on - month can remain positive. If inflation rises month - on - month, there is a possibility of tightened funds, and short - term bond yields will also rise. Real estate is a lagging indicator, and it may bottom out after the recovery of various economic indicators and the rise of the stock market [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 2026 January Price Data - CPI: The year - on - year increase in CPI fell, and the month - on - month increase was the same as the previous value. The year - on - year increase was lower than expected, mainly due to the Spring Festival date difference. The core CPI increased by 0.3% month - on - month, showing a mild recovery [3][4]. - PPI: The PPI increased month - on - month for four consecutive months, and the year - on - year decline further narrowed. It is expected that prices will enter a "positive growth" phase, which is one of the expected differences in 2026 [4]. - Price Index Base Period Rotation: The impact of this base period rotation on the year - on - year indices of CPI and PPI is generally small. The weights of service items in the CPI have increased, while those of consumer goods have decreased [4]. 3.2 Market Conditions - On February 11, the long - term yield fluctuated downward. From the divergence index, funds were the main buyers of bonds. After the release of inflation data, the CPI year - on - year increase was lower than expected, and with the buying of trading desks, the active 10 - year treasury bond broke through the 1.79% mark, reaching a minimum of 1.7840% [6].

国家统计局公布的数据显示，2026年1月份我国居民消费价格指数（CPI）环比上涨0.2%，同比上涨 0.2%；扣除食品和能源价格的核心CPI同比上涨0.8%。工业生产者出厂价格指数（PPI）环比上涨 0.4%，同比下降1.4%，同比降幅有所收窄，反映出物价温和回升与需求边际改善。 从CPI表现看，同比涨幅回落主要受春节错月影响，但核心CPI仍保持温和上涨态势。上年1月为春节月 份，食品及部分服务价格上涨较多，导致上年同期对比基数偏高，从而带动本月同比涨幅回落。今年春 节在2月份，预计2月份CPI可能出现一定回升。 总体看，1月份物价温和回升有助于改善市场对需求端的预期，也对资本市场信心形成一定支撑。货币 政策方面，2月10日中国人民银行发布2025年第四季度货币政策执行报告，强调适度宽松的货币政策有 效支撑经济稳中有进，金融总量合理增长，融资成本显著下降，重点领域支持更为精准有力。 报告提出，下一阶段将继续实施好适度宽松的货币政策，强调逆周期与跨周期调节，并灵活高效运用降 准、降息等多种政策工具，保持流动性充裕和社会融资条件相对宽松。2025年末社会融资规模存量与广 义货币供应量（M2）同比增速分别为8.3% ...
