Core Insights - The report discusses the increasing attention on the "negative duration" strategy in the bond market, particularly in the context of a bearish market trend observed in the second half of the year, where most pure bond funds experienced significant net value declines, while some managed to rise against the trend [5][6][19]. - The report highlights that executing a negative duration strategy can yield positive returns even during periods of rising bond yields, contrasting with traditional long-duration strategies that are prone to losses in a declining market [6][19]. Market Trends - The bond market has shown a clear bearish trend in the second half of the year, characterized by multiple consecutive declines, with the 30-year active treasury futures price dropping from 121 to 114, reflecting a yield increase of nearly 40 basis points [5][13]. - The report notes that the market downturn is not merely a fluctuation but exhibits distinct characteristics of a bear market, influenced by factors such as the "stock-bond seesaw" effect and "anti-involution" policies [5][16]. Strategy Implementation - The negative duration strategy is being executed by brokerage proprietary trading desks, which establish short positions in treasury futures while simultaneously borrowing and selling long-term treasury bonds to capitalize on the price declines during rising interest rates [6][19]. - The report indicates a notable increase in the borrowing balance of 30-year treasury bonds by brokerage firms since mid-November, reflecting the implementation of short-selling strategies [20][21]. Fund Performance - Some public funds have successfully utilized treasury futures to implement a temporary negative duration strategy, resulting in net value increases during a period of rising interest rates, while other similar funds saw significant declines [7][22]. - The report emphasizes that public funds are allowed to participate in treasury futures trading, albeit with restrictions on position sizes and trading volumes, which provides a regulatory framework for executing negative duration strategies [22]. Future Outlook - The report anticipates that the focus on negative duration strategies may increase in a low-interest-rate environment characterized by heightened market volatility, with expectations of wide fluctuations in long-term treasury yields, specifically forecasting the 10-year yield to oscillate between 1.8% and 1.9%, and the 30-year yield between 2.2% and 2.4% [27].

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry [26] Core Insights - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) introduced a one-time personal credit repair policy on December 22, aimed at providing credit repair opportunities for overdue record holders. The policy focuses on overdue amounts of 10,000 yuan or less, targeting small overdue amounts and honest repayment customers. It encourages current overdue customers to repay quickly and benefits those with historical overdue records who have settled their debts, facilitating future loan approvals [2][6][9] - The policy is applicable to overdue records from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2025, and requires borrowers to fully repay their debts by March 31, 2026, for the overdue records to be removed from the credit reporting system [6][9] - The policy is expected to improve banks' asset quality by accelerating repayments from overdue customers and may slightly increase retail loan issuance [9][10] Summary by Sections Policy Overview - The PBOC's credit repair policy targets small overdue records in personal credit reports, specifically those not exceeding 10,000 yuan. It applies to various types of personal loans, including mortgages, credit cards, and consumer loans, and does not require borrowers to apply for the repair [7][8][9] - The policy aims to address the rising loan default pressures faced by residents due to macroeconomic factors, as existing credit rules retain overdue records for five years even after debts are settled [6][9] Impact on Individuals - For current overdue customers, the policy incentivizes prompt repayment. For those who have settled their debts but still have historical overdue records, the repair of credit records will help meet future loan demands, as banks consider credit history during risk assessments [9][10] Impact on Banks - If the policy effectively encourages overdue customers to repay, it could alleviate the pressure on retail asset quality, as overdue and non-performing loan ratios have been rising. For instance, as of Q3 2025, overdue and non-performing amounts for China Merchants Bank accounted for 69.7% and 56.4% of total retail loans, respectively [10][16] - While some customers may find it easier to obtain new loans post-repair, the overall increase in loan issuance is expected to be limited due to tightened risk controls in the banking sector [10]

Core Insights - The average transaction price for Guangdong Province in 2026 is projected to be 372.14 RMB/MWh, reaching the lower limit of the medium to long-term trading price, which represents a year-on-year decrease of 19.72 RMB/MWh.

This indicates a focus on maintaining market order and rational trading [2][13]. - The report suggests that if electricity prices experience irrational declines, a new round of mechanism reforms may be initiated. The publication of the long-term electricity price in Guangdong marks the beginning of a new phase in the national electricity price negotiations [13]. Summary by Sections Section: Price Trends - The long-term electricity price has reached its lower limit, indicating potential volatility in prices if not constrained. The regulatory body has issued guidelines to ensure compliance and market stability [2][13]. - The coal power capacity price is set to increase from 100 RMB/year·kW to 165 RMB/year·kW in 2026, which, combined with a decrease in coal power utilization hours, will affect the average price for coal power units, keeping it stable compared to 2025 [2][13]. Section: Market Dynamics - The report highlights that the supply-demand relationship is becoming more relaxed, with an increase in new coal power installations, which may exert downward pressure on electricity prices. The dual-track pricing system of medium to long-term and spot markets is also contributing to this dynamic [13]. - The report recommends focusing on quality coal power operators such as Huaneng International, Datang Power, and others, as well as hydropower companies like Yangtze Power and Guotou Power, and new energy firms like Longyuan Power and China Nuclear Power [13].
