Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the industry investment rating in the given report. Core Viewpoint The bond market sentiment remains in a wait - and - see period, and it is still recommended to participate in ultra - long credit bonds cautiously [5][42]. Summary by Directory 1. Super - long Credit Bond Trading Sentiment 1.1 Stock Market Characteristics - Ultra - long credit bond prices continued to decline this week. Although the bond market recovered during the week, the market sentiment towards ultra - long bonds remained cautious, and the yields of ultra - long credit bonds further increased. The number of outstanding ultra - long credit bonds with yields of 2.4% - 2.5% increased significantly compared with last week [2][12][13]. 1.2 Primary Issuance Situation - The supply of new ultra - long credit bonds maintained low growth. The total issuance scale of new ultra - long credit bonds this week was 6.25 billion, remaining at a low level. This might be because the issuance cost of long - term bonds was still relatively high, and bond - issuing entities were waiting for a better opportunity. Although the coupon rate of new ultra - long credit bonds decreased significantly in the latest week, the absolute value was still at a relatively high level within the year. Driven by the recovery sentiment and the reduction of available bond assets, the subscription enthusiasm for new ultra - long credit bonds rebounded this week [3][22]. 1.3 Secondary Transaction Performance - The index price of ultra - long credit bonds did not recover. In the first half of the week, the bond market showed a slight recovery, and the weekly change rate of the over - 10 - year treasury bond index returned to positive, but the index of ultra - long credit bonds continued to fall.
