Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating [1] Core Viewpoints - After the New Year, the market has high expectations for a good start in the 15th Five - Year Plan, with strong profit - taking sentiment. Under the stimulus of the "Shanghai Seven Measures", the bond market fell continuously until it stopped falling on Friday. The medium - and long - term credit strategies had obvious pullbacks, while the short - end sinking strategy's net value remained stable. Looking forward, with factors such as loose capital and the opening of amortized bond funds remaining unchanged, credit bonds are still an asset that combines offense and defense. Currently, the cost - effectiveness of chasing up in the bond market has decreased, and the market is likely to fluctuate in March. There is limited room for exploration within 3Y of credit bonds, with a stronger defensive nature. It is recommended to do more sinking to build a bottom - position. There is a thickening of term spreads for many entities in the 3 - 4Y range, presenting riding opportunities. Long - term bonds over 5Y have certain attractiveness in terms of absolute returns, and institutions with strong liability - side stability can make layouts. There is a convex point around 4Y for Tier 2 and perpetual bonds, with expected considerable riding returns, combining both offense and defense [6][10] Summary by Directory 1. Credit Bond Weekly Viewpoint: Grasping Bonds with Strong Convexity in the 3 - 4Y Range - After the New Year, due to high expectations for the 15th Five - Year Plan's good start and strong profit - taking sentiment, the bond market declined under the "Shanghai Seven Measures" until Friday. Medium - and long - term credit strategies pulled back, while short - end sinking strategies' net values were stable. In the future, with favorable factors like loose funds and the opening of amortized bond funds, credit bonds are still offensive and defensive. The cost - effectiveness of chasing up in the bond market is low, and March is likely to see fluctuations. There is limited exploration space within 3Y of credit bonds, with a stronger defensive property; 3 - 4Y has riding opportunities due to thickened term spreads; 5Y+ long - term bonds are attractive for institutions with stable liabilities. Tier 2 and perpetual bonds around 4Y have convex points and expected riding returns [6][10] 2. Credit Bond Weekly Review: Overall Stable Performance of Short - and Medium - Term Credit 2.1 Negative Information Monitoring - There were no bond defaults or overdue cases, no downgrades of corporate main body ratings or outlooks, no downgrades of bond ratings, and no overseas rating downgrades from February 23 to March 1, 2026.

Investment Rating - The report maintains a positive outlook on the non-ferrous metals industry [6] Core Viewpoints - Geopolitical premiums are rising, and the performance of strategic metals is expected to be promising. The ongoing risks from the Israel-Iran conflict are significant, which is likely to support precious metal prices due to their safe-haven attributes.
