1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core View of the Report Supply strength may increase, but in the context of relatively abundant short - term funds, it may not create pressure for "raising prices to increase volume". The cumulative net financing of certificates of deposit (CDs) since the beginning of the year is -1.2 trillion. Due to relatively sufficient central bank injections and stronger - than - expected bank deposit growth, the willingness to issue CDs is relatively limited. However, from a weekly high - frequency perspective, the weekly issuance volume has remained at a relatively high level of 70 - 80 billion yuan since March. In April, under the influence of upgraded inter - bank supervision, there may be a short - term increase in the willingness to issue CDs. On the demand side, April is a seasonal peak month for wealth management, and high - interest current deposits may partially flow into CDs. The pressure of capital fluctuations is controllable, and with the protection of allocation power, the pressure to raise CD prices may be limited. The overall operation may maintain a low - level shock, and the adjustment pressure above 1.55% may be limited [2][47]. 3. Summary According to the Directory Supply: Net financing turns slightly positive, and the term structure continues to narrow - This week (March 23 - 29), the CD issuance volume was 772.02 billion yuan, and the net financing was 73.82 billion yuan (last week was -404.17 billion yuan). In terms of supply structure, the issuance proportion of state - owned banks increased from 16% to 30%, and that of joint - stock banks increased from 31% to 34%. The weighted issuance term of CDs continued to shorten to 7.86 months (previous value was 7.98 months) [2][5]. - Next week (March 30 - April 5), the maturity volume will decrease significantly to 151.33 billion yuan, a weekly decrease of 546.87 billion yuan. The maturities are mainly concentrated in joint - stock banks and city commercial banks. In terms of term, the maturity amounts of 3M and 1Y CDs are relatively high, at 70.58 billion yuan and 55.3 billion yuan respectively [2][5]. Demand: Large - scale banks are the main secondary - market allocators, and the primary - market subscription rate remains unchanged - In the secondary - market allocation, the weekly net purchase of small and medium - sized banks increased from 12.115 billion yuan to 44.775 billion yuan; that of large - scale banks decreased slightly from 54.007 billion yuan to 50.119 billion yuan; the weekly net sale of money market funds increased from 47.498 billion yuan to 81.25 billion yuan; the weekly net purchase of wealth management increased from 2.714 billion yuan to 21.071 billion yuan; the weekly net purchase of other types was 20.535 billion yuan, a decrease of 15.802 billion yuan compared with last week (36.337 billion yuan) [2][14]. - In the primary - market issuance, the overall market subscription rate (15DMA) remained at 92%. By institution, the subscription rates of rural commercial banks and state - owned banks remained unchanged at 93% and 96% respectively. The subscription rate of joint - stock banks decreased from 94% to 93%, and that of city commercial banks increased from 87% to 88% [2][14]. Valuation: The primary and secondary pricing of CDs continues to fluctuate at a low level - In primary pricing, the weighted issuance rate of 1Y joint - stock bank CDs remained unchanged at 1.53%. Specifically, the 3M and 9M CDs of joint - stock banks increased by 1bp each compared with last week, around 1.52%. The 1Y variety pricing continued to fluctuate at a low level, remaining unchanged at 1.53%. In terms of term spread, the 1Y - 3M term spread of joint - stock banks was 4.57bp, at the 13% historical quantile. In terms of credit spread, the spread between 1Y city commercial banks and joint - stock banks was 10.21BP, with the spread quantile around 14%; the spread between rural commercial banks and joint - stock banks was 12.18BP, with the spread quantile around 38% [2][18]. - In secondary yields, the yields of AAA - rated CDs remained in a low - level shock. Specifically, the 6M, 9M, and 1Y varieties increased by 1bp each compared with last week, with the 1Y variety around 1.53%. The 1M and 3M varieties decreased by 4bp and 1bp respectively compared with last week. In terms of term spread, the 1Y - 3M term spread of AAA - rated CDs was 7bp, at the 21% historical quantile level [2][28]. Comparison: The spreads between CDs and Treasury bonds and policy - bank bonds have slightly widened - The spread between the 1Y AAA - rated CD yield and the DR007:15DMA capital spread widened from 7.35BP to 8.38BP; the spread with the R007:15DMA capital spread widened from 1.42BP to 2.53BP; the spread between CDs and Treasury bonds increased slightly from 25.82BP to 27.32BP, with the quantile rising to 31%; the spread between CDs and policy - bank bonds increased from 4.41BP to 6.48BP, with the quantile rising to around 7%. In addition, the spread between AAA medium - and short - term commercial paper and CDs narrowed from 1.72BP to 1.68BP, with the quantile dropping to around 9% [2][33].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The document does not provide the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overseas stagflation trading pattern continued this week but eased marginally. Oil prices stabilized at a high level, the US dollar strengthened moderately, and global risk appetite further declined. The expectation of interest rate hikes by major overseas central banks intensified, leading to a fiercer competition for liquidity in the financial market and amplifying market volatility, with the VIX breaking through the 30 mark [2]. - The financial market presented a pattern of "stable oil and weak stocks." Brent crude oil fluctuated narrowly at a high level; global stock markets generally weakened, with the US technology sector leading the decline, European stocks being relatively resilient, and Chinese assets falling less than US stocks; US Treasury yields rose slightly, there was significant selling pressure on the long - end of Japanese bonds; Chinese bonds declined against the trend; the US dollar index returned above 100, and non - US currencies were moderately pressured; precious metals showed divergence, with gold flat and silver falling; credit spreads widened [2]. - In terms of high - frequency data, the US economic outlook continued to decline. GDP Now decreased from 2.33% to 2.00%; the employment market remained stable, with initial jobless claims at 210,000 and continuing claims at 1.819 million remaining unchanged; on the consumption side, the Redbook retail year - on - year increased from 6.4% to 6.7%, showing a slight improvement, but the gasoline retail price rose another 6.4% to $3.956, suppressing consumer confidence; the 30 - year mortgage rate rose from 6.29% to 6.38%, continuing to suppress housing demand. The US FCI dropped sharply from 0.123 to 0.019, approaching the zero axis, and the eurozone FCI decreased from 0.975 to 0.697, with financial conditions tightening significantly [2]. - In terms of overseas policies, officials from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank continued to adopt a hawkish tone. Federal Reserve Vice - Chairman Jefferson closely monitored the dilemma of energy prices on inflation and consumption, expecting the unemployment rate to remain around 4.4% but with a downward risk; the European Central Bank sent a more hawkish signal, with Lagarde stating that the soaring energy prices would have a ripple effect for several months, and German Central Bank President Nagel saying that an interest rate hike in April was a possibility; the Bank of Japan released an estimated range of the neutral interest rate from - 0.9% to + 0.5%, and the current 0.75% policy rate was already above the upper limit of the range [2]. - In terms of geopolitical situations, the Trump administration's military actions against Iran were not without a plan. From a series of arrangements such as promoting the production increase of interceptor missiles several months in advance, deliberately setting obstacles in the nuclear negotiations, and controlling Venezuelan oil to hedge energy risks, the US may have anticipated the direction of the Middle East conflict early. In the short term, Iran still had sufficient counter - attack capabilities, but in the long term, its national strength would be irreversibly consumed under long - term air saturation bombing; the US was currently considering sending an additional 10,000 ground troops, and Trump might hope to use the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip to seek a phased "victory" and withdraw, but the war was still difficult to end quickly in the short term [2]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Weekly Overview: Intensified Liquidity Competition Increases Market Volatility - The global financial market continued the stagflation trading logic this week, but the increase in oil prices narrowed significantly, and the market entered a high - level oscillation stage. The financial market presented a pattern of "stable oil and weak stocks." Brent crude oil fluctuated narrowly at a high level, rising only 0.34% to $112.57 per barrel, and WTI rose 1.34% to $99.64; global stock markets generally weakened, with the US technology sector leading the decline, the Nasdaq falling 3.23%, and the M7 index dropping 5.00%, European stocks being relatively resilient, and Chinese assets falling less than US stocks; US Treasury yields rose slightly, there was significant selling pressure on the long - end of Japanese bonds, the 10 - year Japanese bond yield rose 11bp to 2.388%, and the 30 - year Japanese bond yield rose 19bp to 3.722%; Chinese bonds declined against the trend, with the 10 - year Chinese bond yield falling 2.1bp to 1.818%; the US dollar index rose 0.51% and returned above 100, non - US currencies were moderately pressured; precious metals showed divergence, with gold flat and silver falling, and the London silver dropping 6.32%; credit spreads widened, and the spread of US high - yield bonds widened 19bp to 3.31% [6]. - In terms of high - frequency data, the US economic outlook continued to decline, the employment market remained relatively stable, the cost pressure on the consumption side increased, and financial conditions tightened significantly. In terms of economic outlook, the US economic surprise index fell from 28.2 to 22.1, continuing the downward trend; the eurozone's improved from - 10.40 to - 4.49, showing marginal stabilization but still in negative territory; China maintained a relatively high positive level of 14.70; GDP Now decreased from 2.33% to 2.00%, and the market's expectation for US economic growth continued to cool. In terms of employment, initial jobless claims were 210,000, slightly up from 205,000 in the previous week, still at a low level; continuing claims were 1.819 million, remaining unchanged, and there were no significant signs of cooling in the labor market. In terms of consumption, the Redbook retail year - on - year increased from 6.4% to 6.7%, showing a slight improvement in growth; however, the gasoline retail price rose from $3.718 to $3.956, an increase of about 6.4%, and the subsequent pressure on consumer confidence and inflation expectations was worthy of attention. In terms of real estate, the 30 - year mortgage rate rose from 6.29% to 6.38%, rising for several consecutive weeks and continuously suppressing housing demand. In terms of financial conditions, the US FCI dropped sharply from 0.123 to 0.019, approaching the zero axis, resonating with the jump in VIX and the widening of high - yield spreads, and the financial environment tightened rapidly; the eurozone FCI decreased from 0.975 to 0.697, falling below 1.0 and continuing to decline, with a significant tightening amplitude [7]. - In terms of overseas policies, officials from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank continued to adopt a hawkish tone, focusing on the secondary effects of energy price shocks. The Federal Reserve's Deputy - Chairman Jefferson closely monitored high energy prices, believing that if they persisted, it would worsen inflation and drag down consumption and corporate spending, posing challenges to the central bank's dual mandate, and expecting the unemployment rate to remain around 4.4% but with a downward risk; Miran discussed the prospect of balance - sheet reduction, believing that it was reasonable for reserves to return to a level between scarcity and abundance, and it was reasonable for the Federal Reserve's balance - sheet to account for about 18% of GDP. The European Central Bank sent a more hawkish signal. Lagarde clearly stated that the soaring energy prices would have a ripple effect for several months, and if it led to a significant but temporary inflation surge, the European Central Bank could consider a measured policy adjustment; Chief Economist Lane adjusted the assessment of the energy shock from "moderate" to "moderately large"; German Central Bank President Nagel said that an interest rate hike in April was a possibility. The Bank of Japan released an estimated range of the neutral interest rate from - 0.9% to + 0.5%, which did not change much from before. The current 0.75% policy rate was already above the upper limit of the natural interest rate to some extent, providing a reference for further interest rate hikes but also adding complexity [8]. - In terms of geopolitical situations, from a systematic strategic perspective, the Trump administration's military actions against Iran may not have been impromptu but a well - planned and clearly - targeted systematic arrangement. In terms of military preparations, the US promoted a four - fold expansion of the THAAD system's production capacity and a three - fold increase in the delivery volume of PAC3 interceptor missiles several months before the conflict; in terms of diplomatic cover, the US may have deliberately sent unprofessional personnel to participate in the Iran nuclear negotiations, creating conditions for subsequent military actions through the negotiation process; in terms of energy hedging, the US took control of Venezuelan oil sales rights one month before the war, hedging the risk of the Strait of Hormuz being blocked in advance. In the short term, Iran still had sufficient missile and drone counter - attack capabilities, but in the long term, it faced long - term air saturation bombing by the US and Israel, and its national strength would be irreversibly consumed. The US was currently considering sending an additional 10,000 ground troops, and Trump might hope to exchange islands for the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and seek a phased "victory" exit window, but the war was still difficult to end quickly in the short term. Meanwhile, Israel took advantage of the window period when the US focused on Iran to promote military and colonial expansion in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank [9][10]. 3.2 Financial Markets: Increased Market Volatility, VIX Breaks 30 - This week, crude oil was generally stable, and precious metals showed divergence. Brent crude oil rose slightly from $112.19 to $112.57, with a weekly increase of only 0.34%, maintaining a narrow - range oscillation at a high level; WTI crude oil rose 1.34% to $99.64, approaching the $100 mark. In terms of precious metals, London gold rose slightly from $4492.42 to $4494.09, basically unchanged; London silver declined significantly by 6.32% to $67.80, with a significant divergence in the trends of gold and silver, and the gold - silver ratio widened significantly. Industrial metals showed strong performance, with LME copper rising 2.23% to $12195 and LME aluminum rising 2.52% to $3296, reflecting a marginal improvement in the market's expectation for manufacturing demand [13]. - This week, the global equity market generally weakened, with the US technology sector leading the decline and European stocks showing relative resilience. Specifically, the three major US stock indexes declined collectively, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.90%, the S&P 500 fell 2.12%, the Nasdaq fell 3.23%, and the M7 index dropped significantly by 5.00%, with obvious selling pressure on technology stocks; the VIX index jumped from 26.78 to 31.05, reflecting a further weakening of market risk appetite. In Europe, the German DAX fell slightly by 0.74%, the French CAC was basically flat (+ 0.08%), the Stoxx 600 fell slightly by 0.04%, and the UK FTSE was basically flat (- 0.03%). European stocks generally performed significantly better than US stocks, indicating that funds may have re - balanced from the US to Europe. In the Asia - Pacific region, the Nikkei 225 fell 1.58%, the South Korean KOSPI fell significantly by 6.49%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell 1.78%. In terms of Chinese assets, the CSI 300 fell 1.51%, the Hang Seng Index fell 1.28%, the Hang Seng Tech Index fell 1.93%, and the MSCI China Index fell 1.24%, with an overall decline less than that of the US and South Korean markets, showing certain relative resilience [14][15]. - This week, global bond yields showed mixed trends, and the pressure on the long - end of Japanese bonds was particularly prominent. In the US, the 10 - year US Treasury yield rose about 5bp from 4.380% to 4.428%, the 30 - year rose about 3bp from 4.938% to 4.965%, and the 2 - year rose about 1bp from 3.900% to 3.912%, with a limited overall increase. In Europe, the 10 - year German bond yield rose about 5bp to 3.094%; the 10 - year UK bond yield fell slightly by 2bp to 4.974%, being one of the few major markets with a decline in yields this week. In Japan, the 10 - year Japanese bond yield rose about 11bp to 2.388%, and the 30 - year rose significantly by about 19bp to 3.722%. There was significant selling pressure on the long - end of Japanese bonds, which may be related to the market's expectation of the Bank of Japan's policy adjustment. In China, the 10 - year Chinese bond yield fell slightly by 2.1bp to 1.818%, and the 30 - year fell 4.0bp to 2.354%. Chinese interest rates declined against the trend, forming a sharp contrast with the rising overseas interest rates. The MOVE index rose slightly from 108.84 to 111.95, an increase of 2.9%, and the bond market volatility remained at a relatively high level [17][18]. - This week, the US dollar index strengthened slightly, and non - US currencies were moderately pressured. The US dollar index rose from 99.65 to 100.15, with a weekly increase of 0.51%, and re - stood above the 100 mark. The euro against the US dollar fell from 1.1572 to 1.1509, a decline of 0.54%; the British pound against the US dollar fell 0.61% to 1.3259; the US dollar against the Japanese yen rose from 159.23 to 160.31, and the Japanese yen depreciated 0.68%.
