The DR001 dropped from 1.34% at the Monday close to 1.29%. The active 10 - year Treasury bond showed no significant change from last Friday's close, fluctuating around 1.69%. Generally, the credit spreads of most industries and ratings narrowed to varying degrees, and only a few industries' credit spreads widened slightly. For urban investment bonds, the credit spreads of those within 1 year compressed slightly, while the spreads of other terms widened slightly. For industrial bonds, the credit spreads fluctuated slightly within 5 BP overall, and the long - end spreads were under pressure for adjustment. For bank capital bonds, the credit spreads of bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds showed differentiation, but the overall fluctuation range was not large [42]. - The redemption of bond funds eased this week, and the new tax policy increased the cost - effectiveness of general credit bonds, which was a short - term positive for long - duration credit bonds. From the perspective of credit spread positions, the long - end risk - free interest rate has been in a downward channel since July 2024, and the yields of ultra - long - term credit bonds followed suit. The credit spreads reached an extreme in July last year, and currently, the compression of ultra - long - term credit bond spreads has not reached last year's low. From the perspective of secondary trading sentiment, the proportion of low - valuation transaction volumes and TKN transactions has increased this year. However, affected by the strong equity market in July and the sharp rise in commodity futures prices catalyzed by the "anti - involution" sentiment, the bullish sentiment in the bond market has declined, indicating that there is room for the buying sentiment to recover. In addition, with the concentrated listing of Sci - tech Innovation Bond ETFs on July 17th, the spreads of medium - and short - end component bonds have been compressed to an extreme. Driven by the "asset shortage" in the low - interest - rate environment this year, the market trend may further develop towards long - duration assets [43]. - From the timing signal of ultra - long - term credit bonds, using the spread between the yield to maturity of AAA+ ChinaBond Medium - and Short - Term Notes and the Treasury bond rate of the same term as the observation object and constructing a Bollinger Band with the 60 - day average spread ± 2 standard deviations, as of August 8th, the 10 - year spread touched the 60 - day moving average but did not form an effective breakthrough; the 15 - year and 20 - year spreads have effectively broken through the average and touched the upper limit of the channel since the adjustment in late July; the 30 - year spread is still hovering near the lower limit of the channel without an obvious trend. In terms of the term structure, the 15 - 20 - year ultra - long - term credit bonds have relatively high cost - effectiveness after the adjustment catalyzed by the "anti - involution" market. The ranking of the allocation value of ultra - long - term credit bonds from high to low is 15Y > 20Y > 10Y > 30Y [44]. - Specifically, issuers with relatively large outstanding volumes, more than 50 cumulative transactions from January 1st to August 5th, and a weighted average yield to call of over 2% in industrial bonds, urban investment bonds, and bank Tier 2 capital bonds are recommended. In industrial bonds, State Grid Corporation of China has the largest outstanding volume of ultra - long - term credit bonds and active trading, but its yield level is relatively low. China Chengtong Holdings Group Co., Ltd., Sinochem Group Co., Ltd., Aluminum Corporation of China Limited, and Guangzhou Yuexiu Group Co., Ltd. have both yield levels and activity, and are relatively more cost - effective. In urban investment bonds, most have better static coupon rates than industrial bonds, but the range of available outstanding bonds is relatively narrow. Attention can be paid to the further compression opportunities of the spreads of ultra - long - term bonds of issuers such as Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Transportation Holding Group Co., Ltd., Yantai Guofeng Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., and Sichuan Expressway Construction and Development Group Co., Ltd. In bank Tier 2 capital bonds, the outstanding ultra - long - term bonds are mainly concentrated in several large state - owned and joint - stock commercial banks, and their yield levels are relatively less cost - effective compared to industrial and urban investment bonds [49].
