After the "anti - involution" policy in July, short - term low - grade steel bonds performed better [64]. - The credit spreads of 1 - 3Y medium - and high - grade steel bonds have continued to decline and are close to a historically low level. The current value of further credit - rating downgrading is not high, and high - grade bonds can appropriately extend the duration to about 3Y [68][70]. - For steel enterprises, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. and Shougang Group can appropriately extend the duration, within 1.5Y, Hebei Iron & Steel Group and Shandong Iron & Steel Group can be considered, and Liuzhou Iron & Steel Group can also be of interest to investors with high return requirements [73]. 2.4 Recent Characteristics of Secondary Market Transactions - Coal bonds have active trading, with the weekly number of traded bonds hitting a new high this year.
