Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The "History of Overseas Central Bank Bond Purchases" series systematically analyzes key stages of bond - purchase policies of the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve, and the European Central Bank. Their policies have similarities and differences in approach, implementation timing, and scale [1]. - The Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve's bond - purchase policies evolved from traditional to innovative tools. The Bank of Japan was a pioneer in unconventional monetary policies, starting quantitative easing in 2001. The Federal Reserve launched quantitative easing in 2008. The ECB was more cautious about unconventional policies and started full - scale quantitative easing in 2015 [1]. - The bond - purchase policies of the Federal Reserve, ECB, and the Bank of Japan have been complex. The Federal Reserve ended QE in 2014, then had a slow balance - sheet reduction (QT), which was halted early in 2019. It restarted QE in 2022 due to the pandemic and then QT due to high inflation. The ECB stopped APP net purchases in 2018, restarted in 2019, and ended bond - buying in 2022 and started passive QT in 2023. The Bank of Japan ended negative interest rates and started balance - sheet reduction in March 2024. The Bank of Japan's exit was more cautious and delayed, the Federal Reserve's policy cycle was more flexible, and the ECB's policy shift was more sluggish [2]. - The bond - purchase scales of the three central banks are huge. As of August 20, 2025, the Bank of Japan's scale was 574.8 trillion yen, the Federal Reserve's was $6.5 trillion, and the ECB's was 4.2 trillion euros, accounting for 79.5%, 98.6%, and 69.2% of their total assets respectively. Relative to economic aggregates, the Bank of Japan's balance - sheet expansion was more significant [3]. - The Federal Reserve and the ECB have a wider range of bond - purchase categories. The Federal Reserve mainly buys MBS and Treasury bonds. The ECB's bond - purchase scope includes government bonds, covered bonds, asset - backed securities, and corporate bonds. The Bank of Japan, besides buying Treasury bonds, also buys a large amount of stock ETFs and J - REITs [3]. - The Bank of Japan's YCC policy directly sets an interest - rate ceiling, marking a new stage in monetary policy by shifting from controlling bond - purchase quantity to controlling bond interest rates [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalog First Stage (2009 - 2010): First Attempt during the Sub - prime Crisis - **Macro Background and Bond - purchase Policy Goals**: Provide liquidity to the bond market. After the 2008 financial crisis, the euro - area banking system faced a liquidity crisis, especially in the covered - bond market [14][15]. - **Bond - purchase Method**: Continuously make small - scale purchases in the primary and secondary markets. In May 2009, the ECB announced the CBPP, buying 600 billion euros of covered bonds from July 2009 to June 30, 2010, with a maximum holding of 611.4 billion euros [16]. - **Bond - market Impact Analysis**: The CBPP had a certain boosting effect on the covered - bond market, reducing the yield and spread of bank - issued covered bonds and enhancing bank financing ability. However, due to its limited scale, its impact on the overall bond market and economy was relatively mild [17]. Second Stage (2010 - 2012): Emergency Response during the European Debt Crisis - **Macro Background and Bond - purchase Policy Goals**: Provide liquidity to the bond market. After the Greek debt crisis, market panic spread to peripheral countries, causing a sell - off of their sovereign bonds and a surge in yields. The ECB launched the "Securities Markets Programme" (SMP) to address market liquidity and financing difficulties [22]. - **Bond - purchase Method**: Buy sovereign bonds of troubled countries in the secondary market. The SMP aimed to buy public and private - sector bonds in the secondary market without disclosing the quantity, time frame, or target level. It initially focused on Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, then expanded to Italy and Spain. The ECB also sterilized the injected liquidity. In 2011, SMP was restarted and expanded. The SMP's total reached a maximum of 2,195 billion euros by March 5, 2012. In 2011, the ECB launched CBPP2 with a planned scale of 400 billion euros but only bought 164 billion euros. In 2012, the "Outright Monetary Transactions" (OMT) plan was introduced but never activated [23][24]. - **Bond - market Impact Analysis**: The SMP had an immediate positive impact on the bond market, reducing the yields of Spanish and Italian bonds. The OMT had an "announcement effect", significantly reducing the yields of Spanish and Italian bonds. However, as the economic recovery was weak, the effectiveness of the SMP decreased [25]. Third Stage (2013 - 2018): Full - scale Quantitative Easing under Persistent Low Inflation - **Macro Background and Bond - purchase Policy Goals**: Implement QE in the euro area. After the European debt crisis, the euro - area economy recovered slowly, with low inflation and high financing costs. The ECB introduced negative interest rates and launched multiple bond - purchase programs [31]. - **Bond - purchase Method**: Use a combination of measures. In 2014, the ECB announced CBPP3 and the Asset - Backed Securities Purchase Program (ABSPP). CBPP3 bought covered bonds, with a holding of 2,702 billion euros by the end of 2018. ABSPP bought asset - backed securities, with a holding of 276 billion euros by the end of 2018. In 2015, the Expanded Asset Purchase Programme (APP) was launched, including the Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) and the Corporate Sector Purchase Programme (CSPP). The APP ended net purchases in December 2018, with a cumulative net purchase of about 2.65 trillion euros [32][33][35]. - **Bond - market Impact Analysis**: The ECB's large - scale bond purchases led to a significant decline in long - term government bond yields in the euro area. The yields of German 10 - year government bonds fell into negative territory in 2016, and the yields of French bonds also dropped close to zero. The spread between peripheral and core countries generally narrowed [39]. Fourth Stage (2019 - 2023): Emergency Bond - purchase Plan during the Pandemic - **Macro Background and Bond - purchase Policy Goals**: Intervene promptly to maintain financial stability. In 2019, due to economic slowdown and low inflation, the ECB restarted QE. In 2020, the "Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme" (PEPP) was launched to deal with the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic [42]. - **Bond - purchase Method**: Systematically increase purchases. In September 2019, the ECB restarted QE with a monthly purchase of 200 billion euros. In March 2020, an additional 1,200 billion euros of purchases were announced. The PEPP was launched in March 2020 with an initial scale of 7,500 billion euros, which was later expanded to 1.85 trillion euros. The PEPP ended net purchases in March 2022, with a cumulative purchase of about 1.71 trillion euros [43][45]. - **Bond - market Impact Analysis**: The PEPP effectively alleviated market panic, stabilized investor confidence, and reduced excessive market volatility. During the implementation and scale - expansion of the PEPP, the 10 - year bond yields in Europe generally declined. When the purchase speed slowed down, bond yields generally rose [52]. Summary and Insights from Overseas Central Bank Bond Purchases - Similarities and differences exist among the bond - purchase policies of the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve, and the ECB in terms of approach, implementation timing, and scale, as detailed in the core viewpoints above [53].

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: 250-Day New High Distance Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model tracks the distance of stock prices or indices from their 250-day high to identify market trends and hotspots. It is based on the premise that stocks nearing their 52-week high tend to outperform, as highlighted in prior research by George (2004) and others[11][18]. - **Model Construction Process**: The 250-day new high distance is calculated as: $ 250\ Day\ New\ High\ Distance = 1 - \frac{Close_t}{ts\_max(Close, 250)} $ Where: - $ Close_t $ is the latest closing price - $ ts\_max(Close, 250) $ is the maximum closing price over the past 250 trading days If the latest closing price reaches a new high, the distance is 0; otherwise, the distance is positive, indicating the percentage drop from the high[11]. - **Model Evaluation**: This model effectively captures momentum and trend-following strategies, aligning with established theories in quantitative finance[11][18]. 2. Model Name: Stable New High Stock Screening Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model identifies stocks with stable momentum characteristics, emphasizing smooth price paths and consistent new highs. It builds on research showing that smoother momentum stocks outperform those with jumpy price paths[25]. - **Model Construction Process**: Stocks are screened based on the following criteria: - **Analyst Attention**: At least 5 "Buy" or "Overweight" ratings in the past 3 months - **Relative Strength**: 250-day return in the top 20% of the market - **Price Stability**: - **Price Path Smoothness**: Measured by the ratio of price displacement to the total price path length over the past 120 days - **New High Continuity**: Average 250-day new high distance over the past 120 days - **Trend Continuity**: Average 250-day new high distance over the past 5 days The top 50 stocks based on these metrics are selected[25][27]. - **Model Evaluation**: This model emphasizes the temporal characteristics of momentum, providing a refined approach to identifying high-momentum stocks with stable trajectories[25][27]. --- Backtesting Results of Models 1. 250-Day New High Distance Model - **Indices' 250-Day New High Distance**: - Shanghai Composite: 0.33% - Shenzhen Component: 0.43% - CSI 300: 0.57% - CSI 500: 0.00% - CSI 1000: 1.04% - CSI 2000: 1.56% - ChiNext Index: 1.09% - STAR 50 Index: 1.95%[12][13]. 2. Stable New High Stock Screening Model - **Selected Stocks**: 50 stocks were identified, including New Yisheng, Shenghong Technology, and Industrial Fulian. - **Sector Distribution**: - Cyclical and technology sectors had the highest representation, with 17 stocks each. - Within the cyclical sector, the chemical industry dominated, while the electronics industry led the technology sector[28][32]. --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods 1. Factor Name: 250-Day New High Distance - **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures the relative position of a stock's price to its 250-day high, capturing momentum and trend-following signals[11]. - **Factor Construction Process**: $ 250\ Day\ New\ High\ Distance = 1 - \frac{Close_t}{ts\_max(Close, 250)} $ Where: - $ Close_t $ is the latest closing price - $ ts\_max(Close, 250) $ is the maximum closing price over the past 250 trading days[11]. - **Factor Evaluation**: This factor is simple yet effective in identifying stocks with strong momentum characteristics[11]. 2. Factor Name: Price Path Smoothness - **Factor Construction Idea**: Quantifies the smoothness of a stock's price trajectory, emphasizing stable momentum over jumpy movements[25]. - **Factor Construction Process**: $ Price\ Path\ Smoothness = \frac{Price\ Displacement}{Total\ Price\ Path\ Length} $ Where: - $ Price\ Displacement $ is the absolute change in price over the period - $ Total\ Price\ Path\ Length $ is the sum of absolute daily price changes over the same period[25]. - **Factor Evaluation**: This factor highlights stocks with consistent upward trends, reducing noise from volatile price movements[25]. 3. Factor Name: New High Continuity - **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures the consistency of a stock's proximity to its 250-day high over time[27]. - **Factor Construction Process**: $ New\ High\ Continuity = Average\ (250\ Day\ New\ High\ Distance\ Over\ Past\ 120\ Days) $ This factor is calculated as the mean of the 250-day new high distance over a rolling 120-day window[27]. - **Factor Evaluation**: This factor captures the persistence of momentum, favoring stocks that consistently remain near their highs[27]. --- Backtesting Results of Factors 1. 250-Day New High Distance - **Indices' 250-Day New High Distance**: - Shanghai Composite: 0.33% - Shenzhen Component: 0.43% - CSI 300: 0.57% - CSI 500: 0.00% - CSI 1000: 1.04% - CSI 2000: 1.56% - ChiNext Index: 1.09% - STAR 50 Index: 1.95%[12][13]. 2.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core View - Similar to the Bank of Japan, the Fed's bond - buying policy was initially a tool for liquidity adjustment. In 2008, the sub - prime mortgage crisis led to systemic financial risks and exhausted traditional interest - rate cut space, prompting the Fed to turn to QE. In 2020, the COVID - 19 outbreak restarted QE. In the short term, the impact of the QE policy on Treasury yields evolves more through investors' expectations, while in the long term, the US QE significantly affects long - term Treasury yields. Large - scale bond purchases provide liquidity to the financial market and drive down interest rates to some extent [1][66]. Summary by Different Stages First Stage (Before 2008): Traditional Monetary Policy Tool for Providing Liquidity - **Macro Background and Policy Objectives**: To meet the continuous expansionary demand for base money, the Fed used open - market operations (permanent and temporary) to control the money supply and influence interest rates. Asset purchases mainly supported currency issuance, while repurchase transactions smoothed liquidity disturbances [14][15]. - **Bond - buying Method**: One - way purchases in the primary and secondary markets. The Fed usually conducted weekly bond - buying operations in the secondary market through the SOMA. From 2004 - 2006, it carried out 40, 24, and 39 cash - bond transactions respectively, with average single - time increases of $1.28 billion, $1.04 billion, and $0.92 billion [20]. - **Impact on the Bond Market**: The Fed's bond - buying had a relatively limited impact on the bond market as its core goal was to limit the impact on normal market functions and the purchase scale was generally small. US Treasury yields were mainly determined by market expectations of future economic growth, inflation, and policy rates [38]. Second Stage (2008 - 2014): Quantitative Easing after the Sub - prime Mortgage Crisis - **Macro Background and Policy Objectives**: The 2008 sub - prime mortgage crisis led to a liquidity crisis. The Fed implemented QE to stabilize the financial and real - estate markets, lower long - term interest rates, and stimulate the economy by purchasing assets and expanding its balance sheet [39][40]. - **Bond - buying Method**: Continuous purchases in the secondary market. The QE process included three rounds and a twist operation. QE1 (2008.11 - 2010.3) had a total scale of $1.725 trillion; QE2 (2010.11 - 2011.6) involved buying $600 billion of long - term Treasuries; the twist operation (2011.9 - 2012.12) sold short - term Treasuries and bought an equal amount of long - term Treasuries; QE3 (2012.9 - 2014.10) was an open - ended plan. The Fed started tapering in 2013 [41][44]. - **Impact on the Bond Market**: The actual bond - buying operations had inconsistent effects on bond yields. After the QE policy was introduced, the bond market traded more based on investors' expectations. In the long run, the QE policy significantly reduced US bond yields. From October 2008 to October 2014, the yields of 1 - year and 10 - year Treasuries dropped by 124BP and 166BP respectively [47][48]. Third Stage (2015 - 2018): Difficult Exploration of Normalization - **Macro Background and Policy Objectives**: With the US economy's moderate recovery, the Fed aimed to exit the ultra - loose policy through passive balance - sheet reduction to avoid asset price bubbles and financial risks [49][50]. - **Bond - buying Method**: No reinvestment after bond maturity. The Fed raised interest rates 9 times from the end of 2015 to the end of 2018 and started QT in October 2017, gradually reducing its bond holdings [51][52]. - **Impact on the Bond Market**: After the QT policy was implemented, US Treasury yields continued to rise. It is believed that balance - sheet reduction increased Treasury yields as it meant less demand for US Treasuries and occurred during the late stage of the interest - rate hike cycle [55]. Fourth Stage (2019 - 2022): Unprecedented Response to the Pandemic - **Macro Background and Policy Objectives**: The COVID - 19 outbreak in 2020 led to an economic slowdown and market panic. The Fed launched an "unlimited QE" to start the crisis - response mode [56][57]. - **Bond - buying Method**: Unlimited QE - Taper - Balance - sheet reduction. The Fed cut interest rates to zero in March 2020, launched a $700 billion QE plan, and then an "unlimited QE". It started tapering in November 2021 and planned to end QE in mid - 2022. Balance - sheet reduction started in May 2022 [58][60][61]. - **Impact on the Bond Market**: After the "unlimited QE" was announced, US bond yields declined. However, due to factors such as investors' expectations and economic fluctuations, the ultimate impact of the Fed's bond - buying was limited. In 2022, the Fed's bond - buying failed to lower bond yields [63][65].
