Core Viewpoint - Recent implementation of 500 billion yuan in new policy financial tools has been completed, with both existing and new policies continuing to exert influence, leading to a gradual stabilization of prices and a potential mild increase in the price center [1] Economic Indicators - CPI is expected to gradually recover from low levels, characterized by strong food prices, weak energy prices, and stable core prices [1] - A slight rebound in pork prices is anticipated due to reduced output plans from major pig farming companies and the arrival of the southern cured meat season [1] - Decreased supply of fruits and vegetables due to falling temperatures is likely to lead to price increases [1] Policy Impact - The year-on-year decline in food CPI is expected to narrow in November due to a high base effect from the previous year [1] - "Anti-involution" measures are expected to continue supporting automobile prices, while industrial consumer goods prices are likely to improve year-on-year, and service prices will remain stable [1] Market Outlook - With continued macro policy support and a recovery in market confidence, the overall price center is projected to rise moderately [1] - CPI is anticipated to enter a mild upward channel, while the year-on-year decline in PPI is expected to continue narrowing, with month-on-month figures likely to maintain a weak balance [1]

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve's decision to halt balance sheet reduction on December 1 aims to address liquidity risks in the money market, marking a significant shift towards a more accommodative monetary policy [1][2]. Background of Policy Adjustment - Signs of liquidity risk are emerging, with overnight rates rising and the Effective Federal Funds Rate (EFFR) and Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) showing significant increases, indicating tightening liquidity in the U.S. banking system [2]. - The reserve levels are nearing critical thresholds, with bank reserves dropping to $2.93 trillion, approximately 9% of GDP, close to the liquidity adequacy threshold of $2.5 trillion to $3 trillion [2]. - Economic pressures include a cooling job market and persistent high inflation, with the September CPI at 3% but core inflation remaining above the 2% target due to tariffs and other factors [2][3]. Impact on U.S. and Global Markets - The cessation of balance sheet reduction is expected to stabilize bank reserves, alleviate short-term financing pressures, and reduce volatility in repo rates [5]. - Demand for U.S. Treasuries may increase as the Fed reallocates maturing MBS funds to Treasuries, easing upward pressure on long-term interest rates, particularly benefiting short-term bonds [5]. - The stock market may see limited support from liquidity improvements, as corporate earnings and the pace of interest rate cuts remain dominant factors [5]. - Globally, the end of liquidity withdrawal could stabilize dollar financing costs, reducing capital outflow pressures in emerging markets, which may benefit from capital inflows and narrowing sovereign debt spreads [5]. - Commodity performance may vary, with gold supported by declining real interest rates, while a strong dollar may suppress overall commodity performance [5]. Potential Risks - Risks include the possibility of recurring inflation; if the U.S. economy proves more resilient than expected, rising inflation could compel the Fed to slow down rate cuts, counteracting the effects of liquidity easing [5]. - Political pressures may challenge the Fed's independence, and aggressive rate cuts could impact the credibility of the dollar [5]. Future Outlook - In the short term, the likelihood of further rate cuts in December remains uncertain, depending on employment and inflation data, with current market expectations at about 70% [6]. - In the medium to long term, if reserves continue to deplete, the Fed may initiate structural quantitative easing to provide deeper economic support, primarily to prevent liquidity crises rather than to stimulate the economy actively [6].
