Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the potential introduction of new monetary policy tools in China, particularly focusing on the establishment of ONRRP-like tools and two-way overnight repos to manage liquidity and interest rate fluctuations in the financial market [1][2]. Group 1: New Monetary Policy Tools - The possibility of creating tools aimed at non-bank institutions, similar to the Federal Reserve's ONRRP, is highlighted. These tools would primarily serve to prevent excessively low funding rates [1]. - The central bank has indicated a shift towards providing liquidity to non-bank institutions under specific scenarios, moving from "exploring" to "establishing" such mechanisms [2]. - The new mechanism is expected to be non-regular and specifically target non-bank entities, aiming to reduce funding stratification and volatility [2]. Group 2: Two-Way Overnight Repos - The introduction of two-way overnight repos for commercial banks is seen as a natural extension of DR001 becoming the benchmark interest rate. This would align the new repo with the existing policy rate [3]. - The current weighted average of DR001 has returned to 1.36%, supporting the view that the new repo could replace the 7-day OMO as the primary policy rate [3]. Group 3: Necessity of Short-Term Innovations - The necessity for short-term innovations in monetary policy tools is considered relatively limited, as the 7-day OMO rate is expected to be confirmed as the sole policy rate by mid-2024 [4]. - The overlapping functions of the proposed two-way repos and existing tools suggest that immediate changes to the toolset may not be essential [4]. - The current operational framework, which includes high-frequency OMO and low-frequency reserve requirement ratio adjustments, is deemed effective, indicating that there may not be a pressing need for a complete overhaul of the toolset [4].

ZFX山海证券留意到，近期在去中心化衍生品平台上，白银相关合约的交易活跃度显著上升，其表现已不再只是价格层面的波动，而是反映出交易结构和资 金使用方式的变化。在比特币走势缺乏方向感的背景下，ZFX山海证券认为，部分资金正通过加密衍生品基础设施，寻找更能表达宏观预期的交易标的。 值得关注的是，白银在成交活跃度上已与主流加密资产接近，甚至超过部分传统高人气代币。这种现象并不单纯意味着对白银的乐观预期，而更像是资金在 重新分配风险敞口。当比特币和以太坊难以有效反映宏观不确定性时，交易者开始借助同一套交易系统，切换到更具避险或通胀属性的资产。 在此背景下，比特币本身并未出现剧烈下跌，但也缺乏向上的动能。多项交易指标显示，市场在反弹阶段仍存在抛压，新增需求相对有限，衍生品仓位趋于 谨慎，更多资金选择保护而非进攻。这种状态使得价格维持稳定，却难以形成趋势。 ZFX山海证券同时注意到，以太坊的相对走弱进一步印证了整体风险偏好的收敛。资金并未沿着风险曲线下移，而是选择暂时观望，将注意力放在与宏观环 境关联度更高的资产上。这也解释了为何黄金和白银在不同市场中同时受到关注。 从市场表现来看，白银合约的成交规模和持仓水平持续维持在 ...
