Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The current price increase has not driven corporate profit improvement, and monetary policy has difficulty responding to exogenous price changes, so the overall impact on interest rates is limited. The bank - led allocation market is still the main trend, which may be more obvious after the end of the quarter [5][30] Summary by Related Content CPI Analysis - In February, affected by the Spring Festival misalignment effect, CPI increased significantly. The year - on - year increase expanded by 1.1 percentage points to 1.3%, the highest in nearly three years, and the month - on - month increase was 1.0%, the highest in nearly two years. After excluding the Spring Festival factor, the CPI year - on - year growth rate was 0.7%, showing that inflation was stable. Whether the CPI can continue to rise in March needs further observation [1][8] - The price of gold still has a significant impact on CPI. In February, the other supplies and services industry increased by 15.4% year - on - year. The continuous high growth of this item may be supported by the rising gold price. After excluding this item, the year - on - year CPI and core CPI in February were 0.9% and 1.1% respectively [1][10] - Affected by the Spring Festival, food prices rose, but the month - on - month increase was lower than the seasonal level. In February, food prices increased by 1.7% from a 0.7% decline in the previous month, affecting the CPI to rise by about 0.30 percentage points year - on - year. The month - on - month increase affected the CPI to rise by about 0.33 percentage points [16] - Affected by the concentrated release of consumer demand during the long Spring Festival holiday, service prices rose significantly. In February, non - food CPI increased by 1.3% year - on - year, the highest since October 2022, and the service price increased by 1.6% year - on - year, affecting the CPI to rise by about 0.75 percentage points [18] PPI Analysis - The recovery speed of industrial product prices is still high, mainly due to the rising prices of imported non - ferrous metals and crude oil. In February, the prices of non - ferrous metal mining and dressing, and non - ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industries increased by 7.1% and 4.6% month - on - month respectively. The prices of the domestic oil and gas extraction, refined petroleum products manufacturing, and organic chemical raw materials manufacturing industries increased by 5.1%, 0.7%, and 1.3% respectively.

Brent crude oil prices soared from $71.1 per barrel at the end of February 2026 to $94.4 per barrel on March 6, with a weekly increase of more than 30% [3][23] - The current K - shaped price increase may not have an obvious impact on interest rates. On the one hand, the price increase is concentrated in a few industries such as non - ferrous metals, and corporate profits have not improved, so the financing demand has not increased accordingly. On the other hand, the domestic monetary policy has limited ability to adjust to this input - type price change and may not tighten [4][27] - The current changes in oil prices and prices have limited impact on the bond market. The bank - led allocation market is the main trend, which may be more obvious after the end of the quarter. The lack of financing demand and high savings willingness lead to an increase in deposits and a decrease in loan growth. Banks are still in an environment short of assets, which will lead to loose funds and limit the upper limit of interest rates [5][30]
