Investment Rating - The report maintains a recommendation for the industry [6] Core Insights - The concept of "deposit migration" is often misunderstood; it refers to the reallocation of existing deposits into other asset types, reflecting changes in residents' asset allocation rather than a significant decrease in total deposits [2][17] - Historical data shows that total deposits in China have consistently increased, from 120 trillion yuan in 2015 to 327 trillion yuan by the end of 2025, with household deposits rising from 51 trillion to 166 trillion during the same period [2][16] - The report identifies a structural shift in deposit behavior, with a notable transition from corporate and government deposits to household deposits, and from large banks to small and medium-sized banks [3][21] - The trend of increasing time deposits has begun to slow down since 2025, indicating a potential shift towards a decrease in time deposits, similar to trends observed in Japan [3][4][30] Summary by Sections 1.

Market Overview - The A-share market experienced a collective decline, with the Shanghai Composite Index falling by 0.98% to close at 4082.47 points, the Shenzhen Component down 0.75% to 13917.75 points, and the ChiNext Index dropping 1.41% to 3164.37 points.

Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - The Shanghai Composite Index has fallen below 4100 points, approaching the 4000-point value center, which may become a new support level. The potential for protective funds to re-enter the market is contingent on the reduction of panic and selling momentum [7][8]. - Key observations for the near term include developments in the Iranian situation and the performance of global markets, particularly the U.S. stock market, which could influence A-shares.
