Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The report is optimistic about the subsequent bond market. It believes that incremental funds for the bond market may come from the expansion of fixed-income asset management products and the increase in insurance allocation willingness. When market concerns fade, bond market interest rates may follow the decline of funding rates [5][15]. Summary According to Related Catalogs 1. Interest Rate View: Where Do the Incremental Funds in the Bond Market Come From? - Since June, the funding situation has been looser than expected, with both funding rates and bond yields declining, but the decline in bond yields is smaller. The market is mainly worried about two issues: no more incremental funds in the bond market in the second half of the year and the unsustainability of the loose funding situation [5][8]. - The report is optimistic about the first issue, believing that there will still be incremental funds in the bond market in the second half of the year, mainly from two sources. First, fixed-income asset management products will continue to expand due to factors such as the lack of low-risk, high-return financial assets, stable market risk preferences, and the cyclical nature of fixed-income asset management products. Second, the insurance allocation demand will increase. The impact of the insurance product interest rate cut on premiums may be limited, and factors such as the deposit maturity rhythm and the search for capital gains in a low-interest rate environment may increase insurance bond allocation [5][8][11]. 2. Fixed Income Market Outlook: Release of Domestic Economic Data 2.1 This Week's Attention Points and Important Data Releases - This week, China will release economic data for May and the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) for June, while the US will announce its interest rate decision for June [16][17]. 2.2 This Week's Estimated Supply of Interest Rate Bonds - This week, it is expected to issue 841.8 billion yuan of interest rate bonds, which is at a high level compared to the same period.

The central bank plans to conduct an outright repurchase injection of 40 billion yuan for six months on June 16 [23]. - Funding rates have shown slight fluctuations. The trading volume of interbank pledged repurchase has continued to rise, and the medium- and long-term secondary yields of certificates of deposit (CDs) have declined rapidly [24][26]. 3.2 The Funding Situation is Favorable for the Bond Market - Last week, the bond market fluctuated slightly around the China-US trade talks. The progress was slightly lower than expected, which was favorable for the bond market. Coupled with the loose funding situation and the central bank's support, most bond yields declined. On June 13, the yields of 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, and 10-year treasury bonds decreased by 1bp, 1bp, 0.1bp, 0.6bp, and 1.1bp respectively compared to the previous week [39]. 4.
