Group 1 - The report indicates that after experiencing the largest valuation correction of the year, convertible bonds have risen against the trend, suggesting a repair in valuation. This correction was anticipated following a sustained increase in valuations, and historically, in a stable equity trend, the opportunities for convertible bonds to recover from valuation corrections outweigh the risks, despite current high valuation levels. The short-term outlook suggests that the valuation correction for convertible bonds has come to a pause, unless there is a significant fluctuation in equities [5][8][15]. - The key to the future performance of convertible bonds lies in the continued upward potential of equities and the demand for fixed income plus strategies. It is expected that the ability to follow the upward trend may weaken. In a slow bull market for equities, the trend for convertible bonds remains unchanged, but the momentum has shifted from a rapid increase driven by both underlying stock performance and valuation to a phase of slow and steady growth, necessitating strategic adjustments, including timely profit-taking on some overvalued convertible bonds and focusing on trading opportunities [5][8][15]. - The equity market experienced fluctuations, initially declining before rebounding after touching the 20-day moving average, with significant volatility observed.
