1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Chinese economy had a good start in the first half of the year, and it is not difficult to achieve the annual target of 5%. The market's expectation of strong policies is rising, and the improvement of risk appetite may cause the bond market pricing to remain entangled. Given the limited space for adding duration, the market needs time to wait for incremental funds to digest the existing supply. During this process, the decline in capital interest rates may reopen the interest rate spread space, and continuing to explore coupon assets may be the best strategy [5]. - In the second quarter, GDP increased by 5.2% year - on - year, higher than expected, and the economy in the first half achieved an unexpected growth rate of 5.3%. The economic data in June continued the characteristic of "strong supply and weak demand" since the first quarter. The exchange rate pressure is relatively controllable in the short term, and the loose monetary policy will continue to cooperate with fiscal bond issuance in the second half of the year [68]. - In July, there are few foreseeable negative factors. The fundamental data is still mixed, and the indication of the interest rate direction is not strong. The smooth downward trend of long - term interest rates may occur after the cross - quarter period. High - cost - performance varieties can be preferentially selected [67]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 Bond Market Performance Review - **Interest Rate Bond Market**: The curve became slightly steeper, and long - term interest rates showed a V - shaped trend during the week.

With the support of the central bank's large - scale capital investment, the capital market gradually stabilized, and the overnight interest rate returned below 1.5% [25]. - **Interest Rate Changes**: The weekly average values of R001 and R007 increased by 13bp and 3bp respectively compared with the previous week. The overnight and one - week Shibor interest rates closed at 1.46% and 1.49%, changing by + 15.3bp and + 4bp respectively compared with the previous week; the overnight and one - week CNH Hibor interest rates closed at 1.42% and 1.62%, changing by - 20bp and + 0.4bp respectively compared with the previous week [5][25]. - **Certificate of Deposit Yields**: After the end of the tax period, most certificate of deposit yields decreased. The yields of 3 - month, 6 - month, and 1 - year certificates of deposit decreased by 2bp, 2bp, and 1bp respectively to 1.54%, 1.58%, and 1.62%.

The export growth rate of labor - intensive products continued to be low, while products such as general machinery and ships with relative competitive advantages had a relatively fast export growth rate [33][36]. - **Social Financing**: In June, the monthly new social financing was 4.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 900.8 billion yuan year - on - year. The end - of - month growth rate was 8.9% (previous value: 8.7%). Entity credit, government bond financing, and foreign currency loans improved significantly year - on - year [37]. - **Entity Credit**: In June, entity credit increased by 2.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 171 billion yuan year - on - year.

The outlook for the second half of the year is that the central bank will maintain a loose tone, and liquidity is likely to remain loose [5][65]. - **Exchange Rate**: The US dollar index has been below 100 for the past week, and the offshore RMB has continued to appreciate. The pressure on RMB depreciation is relatively controllable in the short term, and external shocks will not restrict the intensity of monetary easing in the short term [65][68]. 3.5 China's Bond Market Weekly Summary and Outlook - **Fundamental Outlook**: The economy in the first half of the year had a good start, but the data indicating domestic demand such as nominal GDP, CPI, and household loans were still weak. New policy clues or signals are crucial for the short - term macro - environment [68]. - **Monetary Policy Outlook**: The effective demand in the economy is insufficient, and the loose monetary policy will continue [67]. - **Bond Market Outlook**: In July, there are few negative factors. The smooth downward trend of long - term interest rates may occur after the cross - quarter period. High - cost - performance varieties can be preferentially selected [67].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the report's industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply - demand pattern in 2025 remains in an oversupply situation. The container shipping volume growth rate in 2025 is expected to be 2.6%, lower than the shipping growth rate of 5.3% [4]. - The impact of the rush - shipping in the US line on the European line is limited. Currently, the transfer of US line capacity is not obvious, and subsequent capacity adjustments need to be monitored [5]. - The 06 and 08 contracts are traditional peak - season contracts for the European line, and the shipping companies have strong bargaining power and price - holding ability. The 10 - month contract faces uncertainties after the 90 - day buffer period, and it is a traditional off - season [6]. - In 2025, the freight rate of the European line is expected to show a downward trend, and this supply - demand imbalance may continue until 2026. Short - term freight rate fluctuations are affected by tariff policies and geopolitical disturbances in the Middle East [49]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Shipping Basics - **Shipping Market Introduction**: The shipping market is the cornerstone of global trade, accounting for over 90% of international cargo transportation. It can be divided into three main segments. In 2024, the global container trade volume reached 210 million TEU, accounting for 15.1% of the total global maritime trade volume. The container shipping volume of the Asia - Europe route accounts for 10.7% of the total container shipping volume [13][14]. - **Introduction to European Line Shipping Indexes**: The main China - Europe freight rate indexes include SCFI, SCFIS, CCFI, and the Baltic Freight Index (China - Europe). SCFI has a leading effect on SCFIS by about 2 weeks. CCFI changes more slowly than immediate freight rate indexes during rapid price increases or decreases [19][25]. - **Introduction to the Container Shipping Index (European Line) Futures**: It was listed on the Shanghai International Energy Exchange in August 2023, with the underlying index being the Shanghai Export Container Settlement Freight Rate Index (European Route). The trading unit is 50 yuan/point, and the contract delivery months are even - numbered months of the year [26]. 2. Analysis Logic - **Seasonality**: Usually, 7 - 8 months are the Christmas stocking period, and 12 - 1 months are the pre - Chinese New Year rush - shipping period, which are peak seasons. 3 - 4 months and around October are off - seasons. However, during the pandemic and the Red Sea crisis, there were anti - seasonal price increases [28][29]. - **Shipping Costs**: Taking a 20,000 - TEU container ship as an example, the main costs include depreciation, loan costs, fuel costs, and port fees. Focusing on variable costs, in an efficient operation scenario, the cost per standard container can be compressed to the range of $545 - 579, corresponding to an index below 800 points. Currently, the European line index is still well above this level [32][36]. - **Capacity Supply**: Container ship construction is mainly undertaken by China, Japan, and South Korea. In 2025, the global delivery volume is expected to be 232 ships/1.89 million TEU. The overall global capacity will be in an oversupply situation, and it is expected to ease after 2026 [37]. - **Geopolitics**: Since the Red Sea situation deteriorated, about 90% of ships on the Asia - Europe route have chosen to bypass the Cape of Good Hope, which increases the shipping cycle and costs and provides some price support for the European line [42]. - **European Economy and Tariff Impact on Demand**: The demand for the European line is mainly affected by the European economy. Economic indicators such as the consumer confidence index, PMI, and GDP can affect the freight volume and shipping company costs on the European line [46]. 3. Market Analysis - **Shipping Situation Before Tariff Negotiations**: After the US imposed reciprocal tariffs on April 2, China's exports to the US declined significantly. Shipping companies transferred some US line capacity to the European line, causing the shipping price to fall by over 40% in April [50]. - **Shipping Situation After Tariff Negotiations**: After the Sino - US Geneva Economic and Trade Talks Joint Statement took effect on May 12, the shipping capacity in June decreased slightly compared to the beginning of May. The main shipping companies on the European line significantly increased their quotes for late June, and the settlement price in June is expected to be between 1900 - 2000 points [54]. - **Impact of the Iran - Israel Conflict on Prices**: On June 13, the European line price rose due to the Iran - Israel conflict. The conflict led to a more than 10% increase in crude oil prices, which is expected to drive up the total cost of the European line by 4%. The continuous conflict may support the European line price in the long - term, but the sustainability of the price increase is questionable [55]. 4. Operation Suggestions - The 06 contract has entered the delivery month, and the final delivery price is expected to be around 1900 - 1950 points. The 7 - month market may see an increase in both supply and demand. The 8 - month contract has room for shipping companies to hold up prices. The 10 - month contract may be the lowest price of the year [57]. - It is recommended to short - allocate the 10 - month off - season contract on rallies. If the price difference between the 10 and 12 contracts further narrows, an arbitrage strategy can be implemented [57].
