Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the liquidity in the stock market remains abundant, which is favorable for the sustained development of a slow bull market in A-shares [1] - The current A-share market shows a distinct characteristic of "rotating upward and low-level replenishment" since the "623" rally, contrasting with last year's "924" rally [1] - The continuous profitability effect is better, which is conducive to attracting external funds into the market [1] Group 2 - As of the latest data, the financing balance of A-shares has risen to around 2 trillion yuan, with the financing balance accounting for 2.3% of the circulating market value, which is at the median level for this year [1] - This indicates that the source of incremental funds in this round of market rally is quite broad, with increased participation from public and private equity institutions in addition to financing funds [1]

Group 1 - The recent U.S. employment data shows a seemingly strong recovery with 147,000 new jobs added in June, surpassing the expected 106,000, and an unemployment rate dropping to 4.1% [3] - However, a closer look reveals that 73,000 of the new jobs were from government sectors, while the private sector only added 74,000, marking a near two-year low [3] - Concerns arise from increased layoffs in small businesses and a rebound in long-term unemployment, with the median duration of unemployment nearing pandemic highs [3] Group 2 - The expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have shifted significantly, with the probability of a July cut dropping from 25% to nearly zero, and the September cut probability falling from 98% to below 80% [3] - The importance of liquidity in the stock market is emphasized, as it is considered the primary driver of market performance [4] - Historical data indicates that during bull markets, retail investors often incur significant losses, while institutional investors achieve substantial gains [5][6] Group 3 - The disparity in performance between institutional and retail investors is attributed to the ability to track capital flows effectively [8] - Specific examples of stock performance post-September 24, 2024, illustrate the differences in institutional interest, with one stock experiencing a decline while another continued to rise [10][14] - The analysis of institutional inventory data reveals that stocks with sustained institutional interest tend to perform better over time [16] Group 4 - The implications of U.S. employment data extend to global liquidity conditions, influencing the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and, consequently, global capital market performance [18] - The structural risks hidden within the strong employment figures suggest potential challenges for future monetary policy decisions [18]

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Treasury's increased issuance of short-term debt may be necessary to sustain the current bull market, as historical patterns indicate that high net issuance of medium to long-term debt correlates with stock market stagnation or decline [1][2][5]. Group 1: Current Market Conditions - The net issuance of medium to long-term debt is approaching 100% of the fiscal deficit, with long-term debt net issuance accounting for 80% [2][5]. - The combination of high net issuance and slowing growth in total debt issuance is creating a challenging environment for the stock market, as the liquidity squeeze from medium to long-term debt issuance is undermining upward momentum [2][5]. Group 2: Historical Context - Historical data shows that when net issuance of medium to long-term debt exceeds 85% of the fiscal deficit and total issuance growth declines, the S&P 500's performance over the next 1-12 months is significantly below average [5][7]. Group 3: Short-Term Debt as a Solution - In 2023, the former U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen successfully revitalized the market by significantly increasing short-term debt issuance, which helped to draw down over $2 trillion in idle funds from the Federal Reserve's reverse repo (RRP) tool [10]. - Simon White suggests that to prevent a market collapse, the Treasury must reduce the net issuance of long-term debt and restart total issuance growth, implying a substantial increase in short-term debt issuance [11]. Group 4: Repo Market Dynamics - The relationship between short-term debt and the stock market is closely tied to the explosive growth of the repo market, which has become increasingly liquid and resembles a "near-money" asset [12][13]. - The growth in government debt issuance, particularly as repo collateral, has a positive correlation with stock market performance, but this relationship is more pronounced in total issuance rather than net issuance [13][14]. Group 5: Potential Challenges - Restarting short-term debt issuance may not be without consequences, as it could raise interest costs and inflation risks, complicating the Treasury's fiscal management [15]. - The current interest expenditure on U.S. debt has surpassed $1 trillion annually, and further shortening the average debt maturity could exacerbate inflationary pressures [15][17].

However, in May, the situation improved with a net inflow of 1942 million, raising the net inflow ratio to 0.5% [13][17]. - The financing balance saw a significant decrease in April, dropping by 1226.21 million, but rebounded slightly in May with an increase of 211.58 million [18][19].
