1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In late Q1, institutional behavior in the bond market has changed. The allocation disk has strong buying power, while funds and wealth management products are relatively weak. The "fixed - income +" products are facing significant redemption pressure, and the bond market strategy focuses on short - term 3 - 5y term spread compression and long - term opportunities after over - decline [1][3][4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 First Quarter: Characteristics of Bond Buying by Various Institutions 3.1.1 Overall Bond Buying by Institutions in Q1: Strong Allocation Disk, Weak Funds and Wealth Management - **Allocation Disk**: Large banks significantly increased net purchases of government bonds over 5y. Small and medium - sized banks increased net purchases of 30y government bonds and 20y local bonds. Insurance companies, driven by dividend - paying insurance, included 3 - 5y Tier 2 and perpetual bonds in their top five holdings [13]. - **Trading Disk**: Securities firms' net purchases were in line with seasonality, with a significant reduction in duration, more allocation to 1y interest rates and Tier 2 and perpetual bonds, and reduction of ultra - long bonds. Funds still focused on credit coupons, increasing the proportion of 1 - 5y credit and Tier 2 and perpetual bonds [13]. - **Bank Wealth Management**: In Q1, due to the priority of "deposit rush" tasks in the banking system, the scale growth of bank wealth management was weak, and the net purchases of direct investment and entrusted investment in the secondary market both increased less. In terms of structure, direct investment shortened the term, and entrusted investment increased the exploration of spreads in policy - financial bonds [14]. 3.1.2 By Institution: Insurance Enters the Allocation Window at the End of the Quarter, and Wealth Management Will Follow in Q2 - **Banks**: They have a strong demand for long - term bonds. At the end of the quarter, the pressure to realize profits is not large, and there is still a need for bond allocation in the future [18]. - **Insurance**: The "good start" funds entered the allocation window in March, and the bond - allocation progress is slower than last year, with potential for further allocation. Attention should be paid to the spread compression opportunities of ultra - long local bonds in Q2 [23]. - **Funds**: From the end of Q1 to Q2, there is usually a seasonal recovery in bond - buying power. In Q2, it is conducive to the spread compression of policy - financial bonds [25][28]. - **Wealth Management**: It is expected to see scale growth and a peak season for bond allocation in Q2. Attention can be paid to the spread compression opportunities of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds [29]. - **Securities Firms**: They continue to short - sell 30y government bonds and start to buy 50y government bonds [30]. 3.2 "Fixed - Income +" Redemption: How Big Is the Pressure? 3.2.1 Recent "Fixed - Income +" Redemption: Greater Pressure than in November 2025 and January 2026, Close to the Russia - Ukraine Conflict Period - In March, the equity market declined, and the Shanghai Composite Index fell below 4000 points, leading to a significant increase in the redemption pressure of "fixed - income +" funds. The redemption pressure is stronger than in the previous two rounds and is close to that during the Russia - Ukraine conflict [34][41]. 3.2.2 When Will the Redemption Ease? Pay Attention to the Policy - making Layer's Expectations for Market Stability and the Use of Tools - The central bank recently held a party committee meeting, showing an earlier demand to maintain the stable operation of the stock market. Looking back at the situation after the Russia - Ukraine conflict in 2022, relevant meetings and policies helped stabilize the market. The central bank has innovated a series of financial policies to support the stable operation of the capital market. In the future, attention should be paid to the changes in the "claims on other financial corporations" item [43][44][47]. 3.3 Bond Market Strategy: Focus on 3 - 5y Term Spread Compression in the Short - Term and Seize Opportunities after Over - Decline in the Long - Term 3.3.1 This Week: α Spread Compression for Bonds within 5y - This week, the short - term bonds performed well. The certificate of deposit (CD) yield dropped close to 1.5%, driving the α spread compression of bonds within 5y [48]. 3.3.2 Short - Term: Limited Downward Space for 1y Bonds, Potential for Continuous Compression of 3 - 5y Spreads - The space for 1y short - term leverage to capture interest rate spreads has been extremely compressed, and the focus of bond selection may shift to 3 - 5y bonds. CDs may fluctuate at a low level of 1.5 - 1.55% in the short term, and attention should be paid to the marginal changes in funds at the end of the quarter [51][56]. 3.3.3 Long - Term: 10y Government Bonds to Fluctuate between 1.8% - 1.85%, 30y Government Bonds' Sentiment to Stabilize, Pay Attention to Over - Decline Recovery - **10y Government Bonds**: It is expected to fluctuate in a narrow range of 1.8% - 1.85%. It is recommended to hold existing assets and gradually increase positions for incremental funds if the yield continues to rise. - **30y Government Bonds**: The core fluctuation range of the 30 - 10y active bond spread may be 40 - 50bp. Traders can pay attention to trading opportunities when the spread widens to over 50bp, and allocators can gradually enter the market when the 30y government bond yield rises above 2.3%. Attention can also be paid to the spread - mining value of 4 - 5y China Development Bank bonds, 10y China Development Bank bonds, and 20y local bonds [57][60][61]. 3.4 Interest - Rate Bond Market Review: CDs Hit a New Low, and the Yield Curve Steepened - **Funding**: The central bank's open - market operations (OMO) had a net injection, and the funding situation was balanced and loose [76]. - **Primary Issuance**: The net financing of government bonds and local bonds increased, while that of policy - financial bonds and inter - bank CDs decreased [80]. - **Benchmark Changes**: The term spreads of government bonds and China Development Bank bonds both widened [86].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided about the industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the context of supply exceeding demand, certificates of deposit (CDs) may fluctuate at a low level in the range of approximately 1.5% - 1.55% in the short term, and attention should be paid to the marginal changes in funds at the end of the quarter [2][46]. - The current liquidity environment is relatively stable, but considering the repurchase operations of reverse repurchase, the room for further loosening of funds is limited.
