Group 1 - The report indicates that in the short term, global risk assessment is rising, risk-free interest rates are increasing, risk appetite is declining, and profit expectations are being revised downwards, posing significant challenges to global capital markets.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided about the industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the context of supply exceeding demand, certificates of deposit (CDs) may fluctuate at a low level in the range of approximately 1.5% - 1.55% in the short term, and attention should be paid to the marginal changes in funds at the end of the quarter [2][46]. - The current liquidity environment is relatively stable, but considering the repurchase operations of reverse repurchase, the room for further loosening of funds is limited. Without the expectation of interest rate cuts, the 1yMLF and the funds price (DR007) impose a lower - bound constraint on CDs, and there may be a small - scale net repurchase situation similar to the reverse repurchase operation in this month's MLF operation. However, in an environment with strong short - term allocation demand, the market remains in a state of supply falling short of demand, which may support the low - level operation of CD interest rates [2][46]. 3.

Specifically, the 1M and 6M varieties decreased by 4bp compared with last week, the 3M and 9M varieties decreased by 3bp and 2bp respectively, and the 1Y variety decreased by 2bp, around 1.52%.
