Core view
Securities companies: the central bank decided to reduce the deposit reserve ratio by 0.25 percentage points on April 25, and reduce an additional 0.25 percentage points for some qualified urban commercial banks and rural commercial banks.
At the liquidity level, the RRR reduction released a total of about 530 billion yuan of long-term funds and reduced the capital cost of financial institutions by about 6.5 billion yuan. Overall, the RRR reduction has further enriched the market liquidity and promoted the improvement of market trading volume. At the same time, it also reduces the financing cost of securities companies and helps to improve the overall leverage ratio of the industry. On the other hand, the range of this RRR reduction is 0.25bp narrower than the two RRR reductions in 2021, mainly because the liquidity of China's market has basically remained reasonably abundant, the main obstacle to the recovery of the real economy lies in the downturn of financing demand, and the scale of direct and indirect financing in the market in April was significantly lower than that in the same period last year. The improvement of financing demand still needs to be combined with industrial policy regulation, which needs to be further tracked and observed.
In terms of market sentiment, on April 13, the executive meeting of the State Council announced that it would timely use monetary policy tools such as RRR reduction to reduce comprehensive financing costs. Therefore, this RRR reduction basically met market expectations. However, due to the outbreak of the epidemic in March, the downward pressure on China's economy further increased, and many industries such as consumption, infrastructure construction and real estate were affected. Combined with the impact of multiple factors at home and abroad, such as the upside down of interest rate difference between China and the United States, the recovery of foreign production capacity and the narrowing of export surplus, the market sentiment remained depressed and the transaction volume continued to decline. The combination of this comprehensive and targeted RRR reduction not only reflects the precise regulation role of China's monetary policy, but also reflects that the central bank is expected to use monetary policy for further precise regulation in the future, which will help restore market confidence.
For the brokerage industry, on the one hand, the decline of social financing costs has a certain positive effect on the bond market. At the same time, the initial realization of monetary policies such as the reduction of reserve requirements is also conducive to further abundant market liquidity, promote the recovery of market confidence, and then boost the brokerage business. On the other hand, the landing of RRR reduction and the certainty of accurate regulation of monetary policy in the future are expected to promote the market to usher in a structural rebound, and the undervalued sector has greater growth space and certainty.
