Summary of Industrial Demand Trends in Bond Market Weekly Report (2023 Q3)

Real Estate Market: After a surge in late August due to sales promotions, this week's data shows a cooling in new and second-hand property markets. New home sales volume decreased seasonally, while second-hand prices fell more sharply in second and third-tier cities, with first-tier cities stabilizing. The goldilocks nature of the market remains, requiring further policy monitoring for potential year-end stimulus.
Industrial Sector: Industrial demand is showing early signs of summer peak season. Steel prices rose significantly (e.g., rebar up 15%), driven by increased production cuts and higher consumption. Cement exports also improved due to weather-normalized demand from construction projects, but prices fell amid inventory buildup. Asphalt production ramped up, adding to the seasonal optimism, though sustainability of gains needs evaluation.
Inflation: Food-related inflation moderated, with pork prices declining and vegetable costs rising minimally. Overall price indices display controlled growth, reducing near-term inflation risks.
Imports and Exports: Global shipping data indicates a mixed scene, with container shipping indices declining amid weak demand, but dry bulk shipping indices rising due to supply constraints. Weather events like typhoons affected regional transport, yet international commodity prices held steady.
Consumption and Risk: Consumer indicators like Pasenger vehicle sales recovered modestly in August (+2% yoy), but public transit data suggests lower-than-anticipated travel trends. A key risk highlighted is the potential for strong September sales data to amplify credit easing expectations, particularly in real estate-related sectors, contingent on policy implementation and data validation.
