Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the monetary policy of the central bank, focusing on credit structure and financial stability within the broader economic context. Core Insights and Arguments - The central bank's monetary policy has shifted from "structural wide credit" to "structural stable credit," emphasizing the importance of stabilizing credit support rather than merely increasing credit volume [3][4] - The report highlights the need to optimize the credit structure, particularly focusing on technological innovation and expanding consumption, with a special emphasis on the growth potential of service consumption [4][6] - There is a renewed emphasis on preventing fund diversion and improving fund utilization efficiency, indicating a heightened concern for financial stability [6][8] - The central bank has reintroduced the concept of financial stability re-lending after five years, signaling a strong awareness of potential risks in the current economic environment [6][7] - The interest rate policy remains focused on enhancing execution supervision and conducting on-site evaluations of financial institutions to improve their pricing capabilities, rather than relying on interest rate cuts [9][10] Important but Overlooked Content - The central bank's stricter stance on exchange rates includes three firm commitments to correct pro-cyclical market behaviors, address market disruptions, and prevent excessive currency depreciation [10] - The report indicates a shift in focus from capital markets to the real economy, with less emphasis on structural tools for the capital market, reflecting a broader strategic adjustment [12][13] - The current monetary policy is expected to have minimal direct impact on the stock market due to ample liquidity, while the bond market may experience increased volatility due to the transition from structural wide credit to structural stable credit [14]

Deposit Trends - In July, household deposits decreased by 1100 billion (1.1 trillion) RMB, a year-on-year increase of 780 billion (0.78 trillion) RMB [1][2] - Corporate deposits decreased by 1500 billion (1.5 trillion) RMB in July, a year-on-year decrease of 320.9 billion RMB [1] - Non-bank deposits increased by 2100 billion (2.1 trillion) RMB in July, a year-on-year increase of 1400 billion (1.4 trillion) RMB [1][2] - Government deposits increased by 861.7 billion RMB in July, a year-on-year increase of 358.2 billion RMB [1] - The shift of deposits from residents to non-bank institutions is evident [1][2] Market Implications - Historically, a surge in non-bank deposits often reflects a trend of residents moving savings into the stock market [1] - Increased non-bank deposits are associated with residents directly entering the market via bank-securities transfers and indirectly via investments in equity funds and wealth management products [1][2] - Historically, significant year-on-year increases in non-bank deposits have corresponded with surges in new account openings and rising margin loan balances, often accompanied by positive stock market performance [1] Monetary Environment - The growth of social financing (TSF) in July was supported by government bonds, with the rolling year-on-year growth rate of new TSF continuing to rise [2] - The structure of social financing is relatively weak, with slight declines in short-term and medium-to-long-term loans to both residents and enterprises, indicating relatively sluggish demand for real economy credit [2] - With limited economic activity, resident deposits continue to be activated, with M1 growth continuing to rise in July while the M2-M1 spread continues to narrow [2] - As deposit rates continue to fall this year, coupled with continued improvement in stock market profitability, resident deposits are gradually flowing into the capital market to seek higher returns, and resident investment behavior is showing a gradual trend of becoming more active [2]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that the bond market is currently dominated by risk appetite, leading to a steepening adjustment in yields. This is primarily influenced by the performance of risk assets such as equities and commodities, which have shown a trend of upward movement [3][8][16] - The report highlights four specific scenarios that contribute to the current dominance of risk appetite in the bond market: 1) A trend in risk assets like equities and commodities; 2) A lack of clear direction from policy statements; 3) Interest rates being at historical lows, reducing attractiveness; 4) External market influences affecting sentiment [3][16][21] - The report suggests that if the influence of these factors diminishes, the market will eventually revert to being driven by fundamentals and liquidity conditions. Key indicators to watch include the operational space of monetary policy in the second half of the year and whether social financing (社融) shows signs of a turning point [3][16] Group 2 - The report notes that while there is an increasing expectation of "absence of total easing" in the short term, the core tone of monetary policy remains one of "moderate easing" and "maintaining ample liquidity," indicating that policy space has not been closed off [5][20] - It emphasizes that the urgency for total easing in the third quarter has decreased, with a shift in focus towards structural policies and stabilizing prices. However, the possibility of total policy re-engagement in the fourth quarter remains, especially if the fundamentals come under pressure [5][20] - The report also points out that the current market's expectations for monetary easing are relatively low, suggesting that the likelihood of a significant market adjustment similar to earlier in the year is reduced [5][20][21] Group 3 - The report indicates that the short-term market is influenced by insufficient release of risk appetite and institutional sentiment, leading to weaker performance. However, it cautions against overemphasizing concerns about an upward turning point in interest rates [6][33] - It highlights that the growth rate of social financing is likely to peak in the fourth quarter, and price increases may be a result of financing expansion rather than a sign of a new cycle [6][33] - The report concludes that while the market's expectations for monetary easing are low, the actual probability of easing remains significant, suggesting that interest rates may form a mid-term top after the current pullback [6][33]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "relocated" deposits remain as deposits and do not reduce the allocation power in the bond market. Even if residents' deposits move to the stock market, they still exist in the form of margin deposits, so the overall bank deposits do not decrease, and the asset - side allocation power will not decline [1]. - Credit showed negative growth and relied on bills, indicating weak financing demand. Both corporate and household credit demand was weak in July, with high - frequency data showing a weakening in real - estate sales [2][9]. - Government bonds are still the main support for social financing. However, if there is no new fiscal budget, government bond supply may decrease year - on - year in the future, and social financing may face pressure again [3][4][14]. - The base effect pushed up the M1 growth rate, and non - bank deposits drove the M2 growth rate to rebound. As the government bond issuance pace slows down, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing market liquidity [5][20]. - The bond market may experience short - term or periodic fluctuations and is waiting for a breakthrough. As the commodity and stock markets cool down, the bond market is expected to oscillate in the short term, and interest rates may break through downward as the fundamentals change and the asset shortage evolves, more likely around or in the fourth quarter [6][23]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents Credit Situation - In July, new credit was - 500 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 310 billion yuan. Corporate long - term loans decreased year - on - year, short - term loans were flat compared with the previous year, and bill financing increased year - on - year. Household new long - term and short - term loans both decreased year - on - year, and high - frequency data showed weak real - estate sales and household credit demand [2][9]. Social Financing Situation - In July, new social financing was 1.16 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 389.3 billion yuan, with a year - on - year growth rate of 9.0%. Government bonds were the main support, with an increase of 555.9 billion yuan year - on - year to 1.244 trillion yuan. Non - government bond social financing growth was weak, and if there is no new budget, government bond supply may decrease year - on - year in the future, putting pressure on social financing growth [3][4][14]. Monetary Supply Situation - In July, the M1 growth rate rebounded from 4.6% to 5.6% mainly due to the base effect, and there was no trend - like increase in the two - year compound growth rate. The M2 growth rate was 8.8%, a 0.5 - percentage - point increase from the previous month, mainly driven by the year - on - year increase in non - bank deposits. As the government bond issuance pace slows down, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing market liquidity [5][17][20]. Bond Market Outlook - The bond market may experience short - term or periodic fluctuations. As the commodity and stock markets cool down, the 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds are expected to oscillate in the short term.

Group 1: Report Overview - Report title: "社融多增与信贷少增？——7月中国金融数据点评20250814" [1] - Report date: August 14, 2025 [2] - Analysts: Yan Ziqi, Hong Ziyan [2] Group 2: Main Views Data Observation - In July, both social financing and credit showed seasonal declines, with a slight negative growth in credit. The new social financing stock scale in July was 1.16 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.38 trillion yuan. RMB loans decreased by 0.05 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 310 billion yuan [2]. - In terms of money supply, the growth rates of M2 and M1 both increased, with a more significant increase in M1, while the growth rate of M0 slowed down slightly. M2 increased by 8.8% year-on-year, up 0.5 pct from the previous month. M1 increased by 5.6% year-on-year, up 1.0 pct from the previous month, showing a significant marginal increase. M0 increased by 11.8% year-on-year, down 0.2 pct from the previous month [2]. Reasons for Social Financing Growth - The seasonal decline in social financing growth in July was still stronger than in previous years, and the increase in government bond issuance remained the core driving force. Due to the faster issuance of government bonds this year, July was still a peak period for government bond supply. Meanwhile, the negative growth of the monthly credit scale this month was lower than in previous years, leading to a further increase in the proportion of government bond issuance in the new social financing this month [3]. Reasons for Credit Shortfall - The new credit in July showed a seasonal decline, and the credit shortfall might be due to seasonal patterns. July is usually a month with the smallest credit increment in a year. Looking back at credit - weak months such as February, April, and May this year, their performance was weaker than in previous years. Therefore, the credit increment in July also continued this trend, reaching the lowest level in recent years. However, according to seasonal patterns, there is still room for recovery next month [4]. - From the supply side, banks' willingness to lend may have shrunk, as the BCI corporate financing environment index dropped to 46.09% (49.12% last month), a significant decline. From the demand side, the PMI index in July dropped to 49.3%, with the new order index shrinking to 49.4% and the procurement index shrinking to 49.5%. Both production demand and procurement willingness were weak, and corporate business expectations were under pressure. In addition, the PMI of small enterprises showed a large decline for two consecutive months, and the industry faced corporate clearance pressure [4]. M2 and M1 Trends - M2 and M1 continued to grow, indicating an abundant total amount of market funds. Since September 2024, M1 has shown an upward trend in the range, and the M2 - M1 gap has been continuously narrowing. In July, M1 continued its rapid upward trend, reaching 5.6% year - on - year, the highest value since March 2023. On the one hand, July is a large month for local government debt financing, and the central bank conducted 1.4 trillion yuan in outright reverse repurchases to guide a loose capital environment. On the other hand, the popularity of the equity market and commodity market continued, facilitating the activation of money in the investment field [5]. Highlights in July Financial Data - In terms of fiscal deposits, the government bond financing volume was higher than in previous years, and the new fiscal deposits were at a relatively high historical level. The difference between the new government bond financing volume and the new fiscal deposits decreased compared with the previous month but was higher than the seasonal level, indicating that the transmission speed of funds from the government sector to the real economy was still faster than in the same period of previous years [6]. - In terms of corporate direct financing by industry, the bond financing of real - sector enterprises increased year - on - year, with significant year - on - year increases in net financing in the energy, optional consumption, and healthcare sectors. Financial financing decreased slightly year - on - year, and real estate net financing showed signs of recovery. Large enterprises with the ability to finance from the bond market still had good net financing performance this month [7][8]. - In terms of bill financing, bill financing took the lead in the new credit in July, showing an obvious shift from short - term loan volume - boosting to bill volume - boosting by banks. Due to the increased corporate operation risks this month, banks, under the pressure of assessment, chose bill financing again to increase the total credit scale, leading to a significant decline in bill interest rates on July 28. In other credit sub - items, both short - term and long - term corporate loans declined significantly, and the suppressed financing demand was transformed into a significant increase in bill financing, and the corporate financing structure developed in a non - benign direction [8]. Future Outlook - In the current economic situation, with the continuous acceleration of government leverage, the money side continues to be activated, but there are still concerns about corporate balance sheets. In terms of money circulation, the M2 - M1 gap continued to narrow, and M1 continued its upward trend, indicating significant capital activation. The year - on - year growth of the total assets and total liabilities of industrial enterprises above the designated size began to recover, and the balance - sheet expansion momentum was restored. However, the equity growth rate was lower than the asset growth rate, reflecting insufficient internal accumulation, and the balance - sheet expansion relied on debt rather than profit support. There is also a contradictory problem of "increased social financing" but "credit contraction" at the corporate level [8]. - The policy is guiding the economy from "over - capacity" to "industry clearance." Recently, multiple measures have been accelerating the clearance of inefficient enterprises, and further standardizing corporate operations through new regulations on social security contributions and housing rent taxes. During this process, the economy may face structural adjustments, and the economic fundamentals may show increased volatility [9]. - Fiscal and monetary policies are coordinated to further strengthen credit supply. On the household side, a consumer loan interest subsidy policy has been introduced, showing the intention to support household leverage. On the corporate side, an operating entity loan interest subsidy policy has been introduced, showing the intention to support small enterprises relying on bank financing and reflecting the principle of "helping in an emergency rather than rescuing the poor." From the perspective of the leverage chain of "government - driven → enterprise - taking - over → household - following," in the second half of the year, the government's leverage - increasing is coming to an end, and it is a critical turning point for enterprises and households to take over. The loose attitude of the monetary side may continue, and the loose financing environment may still be guaranteed [9]. - Regarding interest rate cuts, a dialectical view is needed. Although the recent interest subsidy policies have led to speculation in the market about a lower probability of future interest rate cuts, the weak US non - farm payroll data and the reduced inflation risk have increased the expectation of a Fed interest rate cut in September, providing policy space for China's interest rate cut. There is still a possibility of interest rate cuts both at home and abroad in the second half of the year [9]. - From the perspective of banks' reluctance to lend, the central bank may further guide a loose capital environment to promote the flow of funds to the real economy. To cooperate with government bond issuance, the central bank may still use various tools such as outright reverse repurchases, increased reverse repurchase issuance, restarting treasury bond purchases, and MLF over - renewal to ensure the liquidity of the banking system [10]. - For the bond market, there may still be twists and turns in the process of the fundamentals moving from "capacity clearance" to "demand recovery," which will bring about long - and short - term differences in the market. The volatility of the bond market is expected to increase. It is recommended to pay attention to changes in market sentiment to seize trading opportunities brought about by increased volatility [10][12]
