Research Conclusion - The adjustment of the bond market in the third quarter was mainly due to two reasons: the repair of deflation expectations and regulatory policy changes. The negative impact of these two factors on the bond market will weaken in the fourth quarter [3][8]. - The bond market will "turn the corner" in the fourth quarter, but it won't happen overnight. The repair speed and rhythm in the fourth quarter are difficult to replicate those in April. The repair amplitude won't be large, and it's a relatively slow interest - rate peak - building process. The catalysts for the accelerated decline of interest rates are the relaxation of regulatory policies and the intensification of monetary policies [5][8][13]. - In terms of investment strategy, it is recommended to try to slightly go long on bonds in the short term but in a cautious way. Currently, bond market investment opportunities are still in the form of bands, not trend - based long opportunities. The short - end is more stable than the long - end, and credit is more stable than interest rates. The short - duration and high - liquidity strategy of credit bonds has higher certainty [5][17].

Review and Outlook of Interest - Rate Bonds Net Withdrawal in Open - Market Operations at the Beginning of the Quarter - At the beginning of the quarter, a large number of reverse repurchases matured, resulting in a significant net withdrawal in open - market operations. After the cross - quarter period, the central bank maintained a high - level reverse - repurchase injection, with a net injection of 114 billion yuan. However, due to a large number of maturities, the final net withdrawal was 153 billion yuan. The inter - bank funds rate seasonally declined at the beginning of the quarter. The trading volume of repurchase rose to over 750 billion yuan, and the overnight proportion fluctuated around 73% on average. In terms of price, the inter - bank funds rate significantly declined compared to the end of the previous quarter. The issuance volume of certificates of deposit increased, and most prices declined [24][26][31]. Recovery of Bond - Market Sentiment at the Beginning of the Quarter - At the end of the previous quarter, the market's expectation of the central bank's injection was unstable, and the liability - side stability of asset - management products was weak, leading to a strong willingness to realize profits, and ultimately a large increase in interest rates. After the holiday, the market sentiment marginally recovered, the funds rate declined, and the expectation of the central bank's loose monetary policy resurfaced, causing bond - market interest rates to return to a downward trend. On the 11th, Trump's tariff policy caused fluctuations again, driving interest rates down rapidly. Finally, the yields of the 10 - year treasury bond and the active state - development bond decreased by 4bp and 3.65bp respectively compared to last week, reaching 1.74% and 1.93%.
