1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - Short - term, the convertible bond market experiences a shift from high - risk to low - risk sectors due to style rotation, mainly driven by risk - aversion sentiment after sudden events. Long - term, the trading momentum of the convertible bond market remains strong, and the current period may be a good time for investors to optimize their portfolio structures [1][2]. - After a phased adjustment, the technology sector becomes more cost - effective. It is expected that a temporary agreement will be reached before the tariff implementation on November 1st. After the major meeting later this month, there may be a new round of domestic growth - stabilizing policies, and the convertible bond market may have pulse - type opportunities with a potential continuation of the slow - bull market. If the macro - narrative changes, combined with better - than - expected quarterly revenues and continuous catalysis from theme industries, the technology sector may regain market focus and show more elasticity [2][14]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 1. Convertible Bond Weekly Thinking - The convertible bond market shows a high - to - low shift in style rotation, mainly due to risk - aversion sentiment caused by unexpected tariff disturbances. Since October, the convertible bond market has undergone a structural adjustment, similar to the equity market in sector rotation. Short - term funds show obvious risk - aversion, and dividend - related sectors perform well. From October, the Wind Convertible Bond Weighted Index declined by 1.83%, with a more restrained adjustment compared to April. The style shifted from growth to defensive sectors like dividends, and the anti - decline property of convertible bonds is significant. In terms of industries, the Wind Convertible Bond Financial Index and Energy Index recorded 1.07% and 1.77% respectively since October, outperforming the Information Technology (-4.15%) and Consumption (-4.58%) indices [7]. - In terms of trading, the convertible bond market remains resilient, and there are still opportunities for structural market trends. This year, the convertible bond market has performed well, with the CSI Convertible Bond Index rising by 14.39% since 2025. However, in a high - valuation environment, the market is more sensitive to macro - environment changes, and the volatility of the technology growth sector and related products has increased significantly. In the short - term, due to a wait - and - see attitude, there is room for market adjustment, leading to a continuous correction of high - valuation products. Although the price center of convertible bonds has been fluctuating recently, except for high - price convertible bonds, the median price and the balance - weighted average price of the convertible bond market remain at the mid - September level. Except for the consumption sector, the overall turnover rate and trading volume of most industries are still above the 80th percentile of historical data. Long - term, the trading momentum of the convertible bond market remains, and it may be a good time for investors to optimize their portfolio structures. The defensive property of convertible bonds is still attractive [2][8]. 3.2 2. Convertible Bond Market Tracking 2.1 Convertible Bond Market Conditions - The performance of different convertible bond indices varies.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views - The calculated September 2025 excess reserve ratio is at a high level compared to the same period in previous years, but the core excess reserve ratio (excluding the central bank's reverse repurchase balance) is at a low level during the same period. This divergence indicates that the current excess reserves of the banking system rely on central bank injections, and the 1.4% 7D reverse repurchase rate of the central bank directly forms the lower limit of DR007 [1][3]. - With the slowdown of government bond issuance and commercial banks' reduced focus on loan - volume targets, the core excess reserve ratio is expected to rise slightly in the fourth quarter [4]. Summary by Directory 1 How to View the Divergence between Excess Reserve Ratio and Core Excess Reserve Ratio - The September 2025 excess reserve ratio (calculated by the five - factor method) is 1.59%, up from 1.22% in August and compared to 1.80% in September 2024. It is the second - highest in September over the past five years [2][11]. - The core excess reserve ratio in September 2025 is 0.64%, while the calculated core excess reserve ratios in September of the past four years were 0.98%, 1.07%, 0.42%, and 1.15%. The divergence shows that the excess reserve level of the commercial banking system depends on the central bank's open - market reverse repurchases, and the central bank's injections affect the level of excess reserves [3][12]. - The impact of loans on excess reserves has been decreasing. From 2022 to Q3 2025, the new RMB loans of commercial banks were 4.4 trillion, 4 trillion, 2.75 trillion, and 1.83 trillion respectively, and the growth rate may remain low in Q4. As of October 17, 2025, the remaining government bond issuance amount is much lower than the quarterly issuance in the first three quarters of 2025 [4][17]. 2 Narrow - sense Liquidity 2.1 Central Bank Operations: Continuous Net Injection of Outright Reverse Repurchases - In the past week (10/13 - 10/17), the central bank's pledged reverse repurchase had a net withdrawal of 3479 billion yuan.

The central bank's net injection of outright reverse repurchases in October was 4000 billion yuan [20]. 2.2 Institution - level Funding Supply and Demand: Strong Supply and Demand - On October 17, large - scale banks' net funding supply (flow concept, excluding same - day maturities) was 4.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 6899 billion yuan from October 10, and the net funding supply balance was 5.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 6170 billion yuan from October 10, both at relatively high levels compared to the same period in previous years. The net funding supply balance of money market funds was 1.3 trillion yuan, a decrease of 5374 billion yuan from October 10, in line with the rule of "less net funding supply in a loose liquidity environment". The net funding supply of joint - stock commercial banks was - 2118 billion yuan, at a low level compared to the same period in previous years [21]. - On October 17, the balance of bonds to be repurchased in the inter - bank pledged repurchase market was about 12.0 trillion yuan, an increase of 3340 billion yuan from October 10. The full - market leverage ratio was 107%, up 0.22 percentage points from October 10, and the leverage ratio of non - legal person products was 113%, up 0.44 percentage points from October 10 [30]. 2.3 Repurchase Market Transaction: Stable Volume and Price - In the past week, the volume and price of the inter - bank pledged repurchase market were stable. The median daily trading volume was about 8 trillion yuan, an increase of 4665 billion yuan compared to October 10 - 11. The median R001 was 1.35%, still at a low level. The median spread between R001 and DR001 decreased by 2.8bp to 3.9bp, and the median spread between GC001 and R001 decreased by 5.5bp to 4bp, indicating low liquidity friction [34]. - The funding sentiment index remained around 50, and the market generally loosened in the afternoon [36]. 2.4 Interest Rate Swaps: Slight Decline - The 1 - year FR007 IRS rate and the 1 - year SHIBOR 3 - month IRS rate increased compared to last week.

The net payment for treasury bonds is 216 billion yuan, and for local government bonds is 1367 billion yuan.

The issuance progress of new local government bonds was 84%, with 0.83 trillion yuan of remaining issuance space (excluding the proposed 5000 - billion - yuan local government bond quota balance). The issuance of refinancing special bonds has completed the annual task. The supply of government bonds slowed down in October, and future issuance depends on the issuance rhythm of the 5000 - billion - yuan local government bond quota balance and the early allocation of the new local government debt quota in 2026 [48]. 4 Inter - bank Certificates of Deposit: Significantly Reduced Net Financing, and the Long - term Liability Pressure of Banks May Be Controllable 4.1 Absolute Yields - On October 17, the SHIBOR quotes for overnight, 7 - day, 1M, 3M, 6M, 9M, and 1Y were 1.32%, 1.42%, 1.56%, 1.58%, 1.64%, 1.66%, and 1.67% respectively. The yields of 1M and above for AAA - rated inter - bank certificates of deposit of commercial banks were 1.5%, 1.59%, 1.64%, 1.66%, and 1.67% respectively [50]. 4.2 Issuance and Outstanding Amount - From October 13 to 17, the total primary issuance of inter - bank certificates of deposit was 7295.30 billion yuan, an increase of 7130 billion yuan compared to October 9 - 10.
