Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views of the Report - In 2026, real estate policies remain "stable". Policies for the resident sector focus on "burden - reduction", while those for real - estate enterprises prioritize risk prevention. The phasing - out of the "Three Red Lines" policy and other measures may have contributed to a certain repair of the trading sentiment of real - estate entities [5][10][12]. - Although real - estate bonds have increased in trading volume and average trading duration, the high - valuation ratio remains above 60%. It is recommended to trade real - estate entities cautiously and choose short - duration state - owned enterprises within 1Y [20]. - The credit bond market is active this week. Considering the possible stable and loose funds and the allocation demand of amortized debt funds, the spreads of each term are likely to remain low and may narrow further. Investment strategies include basic allocation of short - term credit products and enhancing returns by considering 5 - 10Y secondary perpetual bonds or 5Y urban investment and industrial bonds [27]. - Different regions' urban investment platforms have different investment logics. For example, "economic powerhouses" can appropriately extend the duration to 5 years, regions with debt - resolution policies can consider a duration of less than 3 years, and prefecture - level cities with strong industrial bases can choose a 3 - 5Y duration [41][42][43]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. This Week's Real - Estate Hot Events 1.1 The Gradual Exit of the "Three Red Lines" Policy - On January 28, 2026, regulatory authorities no longer required real - estate enterprises to report "Three Red Lines" indicators monthly. The "Three Red Lines" policy was introduced in August 2020, which set standards for real - estate financing and implemented differentiated debt - scale management based on enterprises' "line - crossing" situations [5][8]. 1.2 A Review of Real - Estate - Related Policies Since 2026 - For the resident sector, policies since January 1, 2026, include VAT adjustments for housing sales, tax - refund policies for home - replacement, and interest - rate cuts for existing housing loans.

The average trading duration of urban investment bonds and industrial bonds in the secondary market has increased.
