Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views Index Futures - The U.S. Treasury Secretary believes that the U.S. interest rate should be 150 - 175 basis points lower than the current level. China's new social financing in July was 1.16 trillion yuan, RMB loans decreased by 5 billion yuan, and the M2 - M1 gap narrowed. The central bank's media suggests not over - hyping single - month credit fluctuations. The expectation of a September interest rate cut is strengthened, and the Secretary's statement reinforces the market's anticipation of a larger cut. The index's strength is due to positive policies, continuous capital inflows, and frequent event catalysts. After reaching a short - term high, it may oscillate to wash out floating chips, but the medium - term upward trend remains unchanged [2]. Treasury Bonds - Whether the bond market will continue to rebound or fall needs further observation. The bond market has lacked profit - making opportunities recently, leading to the outflow of some allocation funds. A short - term upward movement may even stimulate more outflows. The bond market may fluctuate in both directions for some time, providing opportunities for flexible funds [3]. Strategy Recommendations Index Futures - Buy on dips [2]. Treasury Bonds - Expect a volatile market [4].

Core Views of the Report - China's social financing and credit data in July showed that the increase in social financing scale was 1.16 trillion yuan, RMB loans decreased by 50 billion yuan, and the M2 - M1 gap narrowed. Analyzing economic and financial situations does not require excessive attention to single - month data [6][7]. - The August USDA report was bullish for US soybeans, tightening the supply - demand balance sheet. Both old and new crop balance sheets tightened, and there is still room for a decline in US soybean production. If the balance sheet remains tight, there is upside potential for US soybeans, which will also open up upside space for domestic soybean meal futures prices [8][9]. - For industrial silicon, upstream factories are gradually resuming production, market sentiment is weakening, and there is a possibility of inventory accumulation, which will drive the price down. It is advisable to adopt a short - selling strategy [10]. - For the container shipping index (European line), near - month special - price cabins and the expectation of extra ships in the distant end have weakened market sentiment.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In June, both social financing and credit showed seasonal rebounds with significant growth. The stock of social financing increased by 4.2 trillion yuan, and RMB loans increased by 2.24 trillion yuan. M2 maintained stable growth, M1 increased significantly, and M0 maintained high growth [3]. - The significant growth of social financing this month was stronger than in previous years, with the increased issuance of government bonds being the core driving force. The structure of new social financing changed from being dominated by government bonds in the previous month to "credit - based, government bonds as a supplement" [4]. - New credit increased seasonally and was slightly higher than the same period last year, mainly driven by short - term corporate loans, and medium - and long - term corporate loans also increased [4]. - The sharp rise of M1 this month may be due to factors such as the May interest rate cut, the central bank's use of outright reverse repurchases, the decline of the ten - year Treasury bond interest rate, and the acceleration of fiscal expenditure flowing into the real economy [5]. - In terms of corporate direct financing, there was differentiation among industries, and attention should be paid to the decline of real estate financing. Corporate bill financing decreased significantly, indicating an improvement in the corporate financing environment [7][8]. - The problem of insufficient currency activation has improved under the continuous acceleration of government leverage, but there are still concerns about the corporate balance sheet. The scissors gap between M2 and M1 has narrowed, but the expansion of the balance sheet of large - scale industrial enterprises depends on debt rather than profit [8]. - The policy combination of "fiscal leadership + monetary support" has achieved significant results. In the future, each sector has room for further development, and the enterprise sector may take over the social financing in the future [9]. - Currently, it is a critical transition period of "government - driven → enterprise takeover → household follow - up". The rebound of M1 this month may be a verification point of the start of recovery, and policy support is still necessary [10]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Data Observation - **Social Financing and Credit**: In June, the stock of social financing increased by 4.2 trillion yuan, with an year - on - year increase of 0.91 trillion yuan. RMB loans increased by 2.24 trillion yuan, with an year - on - year increase of 110 billion yuan. The growth of social financing was mainly driven by the high - growth of government bond financing year - on - year [3][4]. - **Money Supply**: M2 increased by 8.3% year - on - year, 0.4 percentage points higher than last month. M1 increased by 4.6% year - on - year, 2.3 percentage points higher than last month. M0 increased by 12% year - on - year, 0.1 percentage points slower than last month [3]. - **New Credit Structure**: New credit increased seasonally, mainly driven by short - term corporate loans, and medium - and long - term corporate loans also increased. On the supply side, banks tend to increase short - term corporate loans to meet the end - of - quarter assessment requirements. On the demand side, the PMI production and new order indexes in June showed that production and orders were recovering [4]. Depth Perspective - **Fiscal Deposits**: The financing volume of government bonds was slightly lower than in previous years, and the new fiscal deposits were at a historically low level. The difference between new government bond financing and fiscal deposits increased, indicating that government funds were flowing into the real economy [6]. - **Corporate Direct Financing**: There was differentiation among industries in corporate direct financing. The net financing of energy, materials, optional consumption, and information technology industries increased year - on - year, while that of medical, industrial, communication services, and real estate industries decreased. Attention should be paid to the decline of real estate financing [7][8]. - **Bill Financing**: Corporate bill financing decreased significantly this month, and there was no obvious bill - padding phenomenon. The bill financing interest rate center decreased compared with May, indicating an improvement in the corporate financing environment [8]. Future Outlook - **Overall Economic Pattern**: The problem of insufficient currency activation has improved, but there are still concerns about the corporate balance sheet. The scissors gap between M2 and M1 has narrowed, but the expansion of the balance sheet of large - scale industrial enterprises depends on debt rather than profit. The current cycle still depends on policy support to boost household currency activity [8]. - **Policy Level**: The policy combination of "fiscal leadership + monetary support" has achieved significant results. In the future, the government sector can release fiscal space through debt resolution, the enterprise sector can improve its ability to increase leverage through debt structure optimization, and the household sector is in a weak recovery state [9]. - **Bond Market**: Currently, it is still a liquidity - loose pattern dominated by policies. Although social financing has entered the fiscal effect verification period, the weak fundamentals remain unchanged. The downward adjustment space of the bond market may be limited, and investors should actively seize the opportunities brought by emotional changes [10].
