Investment Recommendations - Going long in the bond market is currently the path of least resistance. In August, the yield of 10Y government bonds may gradually return to around 1.65%, and the yield of 5Y national - joint - stock secondary bonds may fall below 1.9%. With the cooling of anti - involution, weak price growth, the stock market entering a volatile phase, and the possible decline in social financing growth rate, there are few negative factors for the bond market currently [11][88]. - The tax new regulations have relatively increased the scarcity of government bonds and old financial bonds, which may prompt banks' proprietary trading to scramble for government bonds and old financial bonds. The relatively low spread between newly - issued government bonds and existing bonds may temporarily push down yields. Currently, there is a phased overall bullish view on the bond market, bullish on long - duration sinking urban investment and capital bonds, bullish on urban investment dim sum bonds and US dollar bonds, strongly recommending perpetual bonds of Minsheng Bank, Bohai Bank, and Hengfeng Bank, and paying attention to capital bond opportunities of Tianjin Bank, Beibu Gulf Bank, and China Property Insurance [11][88].
