Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the document. Core View of the Report - In October 2025, CPI turned positive year-on-year for the first time this year, and PPI increased 0.1% month-on-month. Core CPI continued to rise, potentially driven by the "Investing in People" policy, supported by both service and industrial consumer prices. The drag from food and energy weakened. The prices of upstream extraction and processing and key manufacturing industries for capacity management in PPI stabilized and rebounded, with marginal improvement in the supply-demand relationship. The low-price environment continued to improve, but due to the holiday demand in October, the transmission from industrial products to consumer goods needed further observation. Prices were expected to continue a mild improvement, but the bond market had already priced in price expectations to a certain extent, so the impact of prices on the bond market within the year might be limited. The yield of the active 10-year Treasury bond (tax-free) was expected to decline to 1.65%-1.7%, and the yield of the taxable bond to 1.7%-1.75% [2].
