1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, after a sharp decline on Tuesday, the stock index showed continuous shrinking - volume oscillations, indicating signs of market stabilization. The Middle - East situation on Monday did not significantly impact the market, but on Tuesday, market risk - aversion sentiment rose, causing a sharp decline in various assets. Only the oil and gas, oil service, and oil transportation sectors in the stock market rose, while the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices tumbled. After the decline, the market entered a phase of shrinking - volume consolidation, and the stock index rebounded slightly. Investor caution prevailed, and sector profit - taking was evident. Even the affected oil and gas sectors oscillated in the second half of the week [6]. - On Friday night, crude oil prices rose again, and the U.S. stock market declined, which will have a psychological impact on the A - share market at the beginning of next week. However, the market is likely to stabilize next week. Firstly, the sharp decline has already occurred, and the short - selling momentum in the market has been significantly released. Secondly, the limited decline in the U.S. stock market despite the sharp rise in crude oil prices indicates that the market is not overly worried about inflation caused by rising oil prices. The U.S. stock market is approaching oversold territory, the U.S. dollar index is stable, and the impact on the stock market is limited. Additionally, with the ongoing Two Sessions, positive expectations are increasing, and the market is still expected to maintain an upward trend in the medium term [6]. 3.

Group 1 - The total market value of A-shares in China exceeds 110 trillion yuan [1] - The central bank plans to flexibly and efficiently utilize various monetary policy tools such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate reductions this year [2] - The Ministry of Commerce states that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's consumer market size will rank first in the world when adjusted for purchasing power parity [2]

Group 1 - The supply and demand for certificates of deposit (CDs) are relatively friendly, supporting stable CD interest rates. Despite some disturbances in the funding environment since 2026, the overall trend of CD interest rates has remained stable, supported by both supply and demand factors [7][16]. - On the supply side, the central bank has injected a significant amount of medium to long-term liquidity, resulting in a noticeable decline in net financing of bank CDs compared to previous years. Since Q4 2025, the central bank has increased liquidity injections through tools like MLF and reverse repos, while also resuming normalized bond purchases [7][16]. - On the demand side, non-bank institutions have shown strong interest in allocating CDs, particularly insurance and wealth management products. The relative advantage of CDs over repos in a liquidity-rich environment has supported this demand [7][16]. Group 2 - Looking ahead, the downward space for CD interest rates may be limited. The central bank's use of quantity-based monetary policy tools is relatively restrained, making further declines in CD interest rates challenging. The main liquidity tools currently in use have shorter maturities, and the central bank has not employed rate cuts since May 2025 [16][30]. - There is a structural differentiation in CDs, with smaller banks facing greater challenges in reducing CD interest rates. Smaller banks typically have higher funding costs and may face demand constraints due to rating limitations. Regulatory changes may also lead to a contraction in CD demand from smaller banks [16][30]. Group 3 - The difficulty in lowering CD interest rates may significantly restrict the motivation for institutions to purchase bonds, especially as expectations for credit easing policies rise after the March Two Sessions. This could narrow the downward space for long-term bond rates, suggesting a cautious approach towards long-duration assets [30]. - In the medium term, the anticipated introduction of credit easing policies may elevate the central tendency of long-term bond rates, while government debt supply remains under pressure. This indicates potential risks for long-duration assets, while mid to short-term credit bonds may still offer attractive value [30].
