·The central bank's foreign exchange 'reserve requirement reduction'·
► Guojin Securities: The decrease in the reserve requirement ratio for foreign exchange deposits, the strengthening of the US dollar under the impact of US bond supply, and the outflow of funds due to insufficient domestic energy are the main reasons for the depreciation of the RMB. On the one hand, the supply shock combined with the Federal Reserve's hawking has led to a 40bp increase in the 10-year US Treasury bond interest rate in August to 4.37%, and a rapid appreciation of 2.4% in the US dollar index, which has suppressed the Chinese yuan. On the other hand, the endogenous momentum of the domestic economy still needs to be boosted. The central bank lowered interest rates by another 15bp in August, and the inverted interest rate difference between China and the United States deepened the outflow of foreign investment. The reduction in the reserve requirement ratio for foreign exchange deposits has a direct effect on releasing the supply of foreign exchange funds and easing the liquidity constraints on bank foreign currency loans. This adjustment is another addition to the 'stable exchange rate' package of policies, with a strong signaling effect. Recently, the central bank has continuously increased its measures to stabilize exchange rates.
Galaxy Securities: Since July, the central bank has been intensively using foreign exchange adjustment tools to demonstrate its attitude and stabilize expectations for the RMB exchange rate. Stabilizing the RMB exchange rate is one of the important tasks of the central bank. The central bank's foreign exchange operations will not change the trend, and we need to wait for the Federal Reserve to stop raising interest rates in the fourth quarter of this year. After entering the interest rate reduction cycle again in the second half of next year, the misalignment of China US monetary policy cycles will improve accordingly. The PMI data has rebounded for three consecutive months, with PPI, commodities, inventory, and exports all at the bottom of their own cycles. The upward combination of endogenous economic cycles and the force of countercyclical policies will jointly promote the domestic economy to gradually break out of the trough in the fourth quarter, easing the pressure on the RMB exchange rate caused by economic fundamentals. It is expected that the RMB exchange rate will fluctuate widely within the 7.2 to 7.3 range this year. The central bank will continue to monitor the exchange rate market and use foreign exchange management tools again if necessary.
► Caitong Securities: The policy transmission channels for stabilizing exchange rates are as follows. Firstly, in terms of direct channels, release domestic foreign currency fund supply, improve the turnover and yield of foreign currency funds, reduce the opportunity cost of holding foreign currency funds, thereby improving the willingness to hold foreign currency funds and easing the downward pressure on the RMB exchange rate. Secondly, in terms of indirect channels, the central bank immediately sends policy signals to the market to prevent the RMB exchange rate from falling too quickly and excessively, guiding the market to maintain neutral expectations and correcting the unilateral expectations and herd behavior that may be caused by the RMB exchange rate decline. After reviewing the operating history of this tool in recent years, it can be seen that adjusting the foreign exchange reserve requirement ratio has a good countercyclical adjustment effect.
Huachuang Securities: Lowering the foreign exchange reserve ratio can release approximately $16.4 billion in foreign exchange liquidity. At the same time, increasing the supply of onshore US dollars is equivalent to reducing the attractiveness of the US dollar, while once again releasing the signal of the central bank's intention to 'stabilize', which helps to further stabilize market expectations and maintain the basic stability of the RMB at a reasonable and balanced level. Regarding exchange rates, policy signals are stronger than specific measures. The central bank may have greater significance in releasing clear policy signals and guiding market expectations towards stability by reducing the reserve requirement ratio for foreign exchange. For equity, the exchange rate is to some extent an indicator of A-share sentiment, and the stock market often comes under pressure during periods of RMB depreciation. For bonds, the central bank deliberately guides exchange rate stability or brings about tightening of interbank liquidity.
