Core Viewpoint - Several small and medium-sized banks are adjusting their deposit product structures, particularly by canceling long-term fixed deposit products, reflecting the pressure of narrowing net interest margins in the banking industry [2][8].

Group 2: Reasons Behind Adjustments - The adjustments are primarily driven by the pressure of narrowing net interest margins, particularly affecting small and medium-sized banks, which are compelled to reduce high-cost long-term deposits and optimize their liability structures [2][8]. - The overall banking industry is facing challenges with net interest margins, with various types of banks experiencing different degrees of decline [9][10]. Group 3: Investor Behavior and Market Trends - Investors are shifting their asset allocation towards "stable low volatility + high liquidity" products, favoring money market funds, short-term wealth management, and low volatility dividend products [2][12]. - The trend indicates that more small and medium-sized banks are likely to follow suit in adjusting long-term deposit products, as the previous high-interest long-term deposit model is no longer sustainable [10].
