Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - In August, liquidity has become a key factor in the bond market. The linkage between risky assets and the bond market has continued for some time, and in the medium - to long - term, the bond market is still priced based on fundamentals. Risky assets' strength is a short - term disturbance. If liquidity is stable, changes in funds flowing to risky assets are not the key to the bond market. An abundant liquidity environment is more likely to lead to a "double - bull" market for stocks and bonds. Attention should be paid to the central bank's operations, large banks' net lending levels, and the liability - side stability of bond funds and other broad - based funds [1][2]. - Although there are disturbances such as government bond supply, certificate of deposit (CD) maturities, and tax payments in August, there are also clear supporting factors. It is expected that the central bank will use various tools to maintain the stability of the money market, and the central level of money market rates will remain in a low - level volatile pattern, but special - time fluctuations need attention [4]. Summary by Directory 1. August: Liquidity Becomes a Key Factor in the Bond Market - Since July, the linkage between stocks, commodities, and bonds has attracted market attention. Liquidity plays a dual role in the stock - bond market linkage. Abundant liquidity benefits both markets, while changes in risk appetite and equity returns drive asset reallocation, causing some bond market funds to flow into stocks and commodities [1][8]. - In late July, high inter - bank liquidity demand and the rise of stocks and commodities suppressed the bond market. At the beginning of August, loose liquidity led to a "double - bull" market for stocks and bonds. From August 11 - 13, the relationship between stocks and bonds changed from a "seesaw" to a "double - bull" situation. On August 11, the central bank's large - scale net withdrawal in the open market and the strength of risky assets dragged down bond market sentiment. On August 13, the bond market showed resilience [1][8][9]. - In the second half of August, the bond market lacks a new narrative. Liquidity will continue to be crucial. The sustainability of risky assets' performance remains to be seen. If liquidity is stable, it won't be the key to the bond market. An abundant liquidity environment is more likely to lead to a "double - bull" market. Attention should be paid to the central bank's operations, large banks' net lending levels, and the liability - side stability of bond funds [2][14]. 2. July: Turbulence in the Money Market - In July, the money market had a "roller - coaster" ride, with funds loosening at the beginning, tightening in the middle, and then fluctuating again in the late stage. The central bank's operations were more targeted, with more precise and flexible liquidity injections [15]. - In terms of money prices, overnight money rates often ran below the policy rate but rose during tax payments and at the end of the month. The 7 - day money rate's central level declined, and the 7 - day money rate's stratification phenomenon was more prominent, while the overnight money rate's stratification was similar to the previous month [17]. - In terms of money quantity, the net lending of large state - owned banks decreased, while the lending of money market funds and wealth management products increased. The microstructure of money lending changed, increasing the volatility of overnight money rates [30]. - Factors affecting money supply and demand in July included precise and targeted open - market operations, government bond issuance (which decreased month - on - month but remained high year - on - year), high CD maturities with stable issuance prices, and a structural differentiation in credit in July after an unexpected increase in June [35][40][46]. 3. Current Concerns about the Money Market - Historically, August has a relatively low central level of money market rates in the second half of the year. In 2022 and 2023, there were large fluctuations at the end of August due to external policy variables [53]. - Currently, there are several concerns: high CD maturities above 3 trillion yuan in August, but banks' liability - side pressure is neutral, and the demand for price - increasing issuance is limited; continued government bond supply pressure, with the central bank likely to use various tools to maintain money market stability; and over 1.2 trillion yuan of medium - to long - term liquidity maturing in August, but a 70 - billion - yuan 3 - month buy - out reverse repurchase was carried out on August 8 [61][62][64]. - Although there are disturbances in August, there are also supporting factors such as seasonal factors and the central bank's support. It is expected that the central level of money market rates will remain low - level volatile, but attention should be paid to fluctuations at special times [66].

Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) is conducting a buyback reverse repo operation of 500 billion yuan to maintain liquidity in the banking system, indicating a relatively loose monetary policy in August 2023 [1][2][3]. Group 1: Reverse Repo Operations - The PBOC will conduct a buyback reverse repo operation of 500 billion yuan with a term of 6 months on August 15, 2023, following a previous operation of 700 billion yuan on August 8 [1][2]. - In August, there are 4 billion yuan of 3-month and 5 billion yuan of 6-month buyback reverse repos maturing, with a total of 3 billion yuan of Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) also maturing [2][3]. - The total net injection of funds through the 3-month buyback reverse repo will be 3 billion yuan, while the 6-month variety will be fully offset [2]. Group 2: Market Liquidity and Policy Signals - The PBOC's actions are seen as a response to the upcoming government bond issuance peak and the large scale of maturing certificates of deposit, with a focus on encouraging financial institutions to increase credit supply [3][4]. - Analysts suggest that the PBOC will continue to use MLF and buyback reverse repos to inject medium-term liquidity, indicating a commitment to maintaining ample liquidity in the banking system [4]. - The average weighted interest rate for the interbank market has decreased, reflecting a continued decline in funding costs, which is influenced by various factors including monetary policy operations and market demand for funds [5][6].

Core Viewpoint - The significant increase in non-bank deposits in July reflects a trend of residents shifting their savings towards financial products, influenced by the recent bullish stock market and declining interest rates [1][2][5]. Group 1: Non-Bank Deposits - In July, non-bank deposits increased by 2.14 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.39 trillion yuan, while household deposits decreased by 1.1 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of nearly 0.8 trillion yuan [2]. - From January to July, non-bank deposits cumulatively increased by 4.69 trillion yuan, which is 1.73 trillion yuan more than the same period last year [2]. - Analysts suggest that the increase in non-bank deposits is driven by the end of the mid-year bank assessment period and the recent rise in the stock market, leading to a large-scale return of household savings to financial products [2][5]. Group 2: Money Supply and Liquidity - The growth rate of M2 (broad money) in July increased by 0.5 percentage points to 8.8%, exceeding market expectations of 8.3%, while M1 (narrow money) growth rate rose to 5.6%, marking a significant rebound over three consecutive months [2]. - The narrowing of the M1-M2 spread to -3.2% indicates enhanced liquidity, suggesting that households and businesses are converting time deposits into demand deposits for consumption or investment [3]. Group 3: Capital Market Expectations - There is a strong market expectation that capital markets will become a significant outlet for household deposits, with historical trends showing that each bull market is accompanied by a migration of bank deposits to capital markets [4][5]. - The estimated maturity of fixed-term deposits is substantial, with approximately 105 trillion yuan maturing by 2025 and 66 trillion yuan thereafter, which could lead to significant liquidity impacts if these funds flow into asset markets [4]. Group 4: Monetary Policy Outlook - Despite recent market optimism, July's financial data indicates slow recovery in demand, with new credit showing a negative growth for the first time in 20 years, highlighting the core contradiction in the current economic environment [7]. - The implementation of fiscal subsidy policies is expected to reduce the need for aggressive monetary easing, with analysts suggesting that the probability of interest rate cuts may decrease due to the effectiveness of targeted fiscal measures [8].
