Group 1: Report's Investment Rating - No information provided on the report's industry investment rating Group 2: Core Views - This week, the simulated portfolio's returns turned negative, with the credit - style portfolio's retracement relatively controllable. Among the interest - rate style portfolios, the short - end sinking of urban investment bonds and the sinking strategy of certificates of deposit (CDs) had relatively high weekly return readings, both around - 0.41%. Among the credit - style portfolios, the short - end sinking of urban investment bonds and the sinking strategy of CDs had smaller retracements, with return readings of - 0.16% and - 0.16% respectively [2][15][16]. - Since July, the CD strategy has a higher odds. The average weekly return of the credit - style CD heavy - position portfolio dropped to - 0.17%, a decrease of about 24bp from last week. It is also one of the few strategies with positive cumulative returns in the past three weeks. The corresponding interest - rate style portfolio underperformed the defensive strategy again after two weeks [2][19]. - In terms of return sources, the coupon of the credit - style urban investment bond heavy - position strategy is approaching the annual low and can hardly withstand recent fluctuations. The coupon contributions of the credit - style portfolio this week generally fell within the range of - 25% to - 5%, and capital gains significantly dragged down the comprehensive return [3][27]. - In the past four weeks, except for the short - end sinking of urban investment bonds, the remaining mainstream strategies generally lacked excess returns. From the perspective of strategy terms, short - term strategies significantly outperformed. Short - term CD strategies outperformed the benchmark, and the excess return of urban investment sinking reached the highest since late June [4][31][33]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Portfolio Strategy Return Tracking 1.1 Portfolio Weekly Return Overview - As of August 15, this year, the cumulative returns of the interest - rate style and credit - style portfolios have significantly lagged behind the same period in the past two years. Among the main credit - style portfolios, the cumulative comprehensive returns of the long - term industrial portfolio, the short - end sinking of urban investment bonds, and the duration portfolio led, reaching 1.48%, 1.39%, and 1.22% respectively. The cumulative returns of the credit - style portfolios all exceeded the corresponding interest - rate style portfolios, while the cumulative returns of the interest - rate style portfolios basically fell back to within 1% [10]. - The average weekly return of the credit - style CD heavy - position portfolio dropped to - 0.17%, a decrease of about 24bp from last week. The weekly return of the urban investment bond heavy - position portfolio decreased by 38.6bp to - 0.27% compared with the previous week. The weekly return of the secondary bond heavy - position portfolio decreased by more than 40bp, but its absolute return performance was slightly stronger than that of the interest - rate style portfolio. The average return of the long - term bond heavy - position strategy dropped to - 0.55%, a decrease of about 64bp compared with the previous week [2][19]. 1.2 Portfolio Weekly Return Sources - The coupons of the main strategy portfolios continued to decline. The coupons of the short - end sinking and dumbbell - shaped portfolios of urban investment bonds were around an annualized 1.92% and 1.97% respectively, less than 5bp away from the annual low. The coupon of the secondary bond duration portfolio was still 14bp away from the low point, and the coupon volatility remained high [3][27]. 2. Credit Strategy Excess Return Tracking - In the past four weeks, the cumulative excess returns of the short - end sinking of urban investment bonds, the bullet - shaped portfolio of commercial financial bonds, and the sinking strategy portfolio of secondary bonds reached 16.2bp, 0.9bp, and 0.6bp respectively, while the cumulative readings of the remaining strategy portfolios dropped to the negative range. This week's weak performance widened the gap between the cumulative returns of the heavy - position strategy of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds and the urban investment bond heavy - position strategy, with the cumulative excess return dropping to below - 22bp [4][31]. - From the perspective of strategy terms, short - term strategies significantly outperformed. Short - term CD strategies outperformed the benchmark, and the excess return of urban investment sinking reached the highest since late June. In the medium - and long - term, all strategies showed negative excess returns, except that the excess return of the short - end sinking of urban investment bonds reached 9.7bp. The negative deviations of Tier 2 capital bonds and the bullet - shaped portfolio of commercial financial bonds from the benchmark were within 2bp, also having a certain defensive property [4][33]. Appendix: Simulated Portfolio Allocation Method - The simulated portfolio has some limitations, including the distortion of the portfolio allocation method and errors in the return calculation method.

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that the bond market is currently dominated by risk appetite, leading to a steepening adjustment in yields. This is primarily influenced by the performance of risk assets such as equities and commodities, which have shown a trend of upward movement [3][8][16] - The report highlights four specific scenarios that contribute to the current dominance of risk appetite in the bond market: 1) A trend in risk assets like equities and commodities; 2) A lack of clear direction from policy statements; 3) Interest rates being at historical lows, reducing attractiveness; 4) External market influences affecting sentiment [3][16][21] - The report suggests that if the influence of these factors diminishes, the market will eventually revert to being driven by fundamentals and liquidity conditions. Key indicators to watch include the operational space of monetary policy in the second half of the year and whether social financing (社融) shows signs of a turning point [3][16] Group 2 - The report notes that while there is an increasing expectation of "absence of total easing" in the short term, the core tone of monetary policy remains one of "moderate easing" and "maintaining ample liquidity," indicating that policy space has not been closed off [5][20] - It emphasizes that the urgency for total easing in the third quarter has decreased, with a shift in focus towards structural policies and stabilizing prices. However, the possibility of total policy re-engagement in the fourth quarter remains, especially if the fundamentals come under pressure [5][20] - The report also points out that the current market's expectations for monetary easing are relatively low, suggesting that the likelihood of a significant market adjustment similar to earlier in the year is reduced [5][20][21] Group 3 - The report indicates that the short-term market is influenced by insufficient release of risk appetite and institutional sentiment, leading to weaker performance. However, it cautions against overemphasizing concerns about an upward turning point in interest rates [6][33] - It highlights that the growth rate of social financing is likely to peak in the fourth quarter, and price increases may be a result of financing expansion rather than a sign of a new cycle [6][33] - The report concludes that while the market's expectations for monetary easing are low, the actual probability of easing remains significant, suggesting that interest rates may form a mid-term top after the current pullback [6][33]
