1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the content, so this part is skipped. 2. Core Views of the Report - The probability of the central bank restarting Treasury bond trading is increasing, and it is worth expecting the central bank to announce the restart of Treasury bond trading within the year. The expectation of the central bank restarting Treasury bond trading may lead to a decline in long - term interest rates [1][4]. - If the central bank restarts buying bonds, the 10 - year Treasury bond yield may fall below 1.70%, similar to the situations in the first half of 2015 and 2019 [4]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Reasons for the Increasing Probability of the Central Bank Restarting Treasury Bond Trading - **Tool Establishment Intention**: When the central bank's Treasury bond trading operation was set up, it had the implication of being a normal monetary policy tool. Currently, the interest rate is in a stable range - bound state, which provides a market foundation for the central bank to resume normal operations. In early 2025, the central bank suspended this operation, perhaps due to the rapid decline in interest rates [1][11]. - **Institutional Design**: The central bank's draft for soliciting opinions in July 2025 removed the freeze on collateral for bond repurchases. Coupled with the recent extension of the maturity of large banks' Treasury bond purchases from within 3 years to 3 - 5 years, if the central bank restarts Treasury bond trading, the pressure on large banks to "sweep the market" will decrease, and the impact on short - and medium - term interest rates may be systematically reduced [2][15]. - **Current Necessity**: Although the immediate need to restart Treasury bond trading from the perspective of liquidity is relatively low, given the limited room for further cuts in the reserve requirement ratio and the stable operation of the bond market, there is a need to resume normal long - term liquidity adjustment through Treasury bond trading. It is difficult to normalize the function of adjusting the interest rate curve, and the necessity of selling long - term bonds for adjustment is insufficient [3][18]. 3.2 Impact of the Central Bank Restarting Treasury Bond Trading - **Impact on Liquidity**: Restarting Treasury bond trading may be a "icing on the cake" operation. Even if the central bank does not restart, inter - bank liquidity is expected to remain stable and abundant. The central bank's short - and medium - term liquidity injection is obvious, and corporate foreign exchange settlement and fiscal factors will lead to endogenous liquidity easing in Q4 [4][30]. - **Impact on the Bond Market Strategy**: If the central bank restarts buying bonds within the year, the 10 - year Treasury bond yield may fall below 1.70%. The expectation of the central bank restarting Treasury bond trading may lead to a decline in long - term interest rates [4][31]. 3.3 Other Related Points - **Function Importance Ranking**: The importance ranking of the functions of central bank Treasury bond trading is: liquidity management > cooperation with Treasury bond issuance > adjustment of the interest rate curve [18]. - **Judgment on Future Operations**: The central bank's Treasury bond trading as a liquidity management tool has the implication of being normal. Currently, the necessity of restarting is slightly insufficient, but it can be launched in small amounts in advance. The removal of the freeze on collateral for bonds will reduce policy costs and systematically reduce the impact on short - and medium - term interest rates [27].

Core Insights - Since July 2023, after a round of technology-driven market performance, the speed of industry rotation has decreased, yet it remains at a historical median level over the past decade. The proprietary macro-friendly indicator system indicates a correlation of 0.7 with industry rotation speed, suggesting strong explanatory power. For Q4 2025, the macro drivers of industry rotation are expected to slightly increase, with rotation speed projected to be lower than in 2024 but higher than in 2021, indicating a potential for moderate levels of rotation. A relatively balanced allocation strategy may be a better choice under the expectation of continued structural market conditions [1][4]. Group 1 - The current industry rotation speed is at a historical median level, with the indicator based on the rolling cumulative excess returns of 30 primary industries relative to the Wind All A index. Since July 2023, following a technology-led market rally, the rotation speed has declined, with market consensus expectations gradually strengthening. The current indicator is near the 50th percentile, indicating a moderate level of industry rotation [2][11]. - The macro-friendly indicator system has been developed to construct the industry rotation macro driver indicator. This indicator is defined as the difference between the Chinese financial cycle friendliness and inventory cycle friendliness, adjusted by the US macro friendliness. The correlation between the Chinese financial-inventory cycle and industry rotation speed exceeds 0.6, while the US macro friendliness has a correlation close to -0.6. The combined industry rotation macro driver shows a correlation of 0.7 with industry rotation speed, which is at a historical median as of August 2025 [3][18]. Group 2 - For Q4 2025, the macro drivers of industry rotation are expected to slightly increase, with both the Chinese financial cycle and inventory cycle friendliness anticipated to rise to varying degrees. The US macro friendliness is also expected to increase slightly due to a more favorable financial cycle and a recovery in the inventory cycle. Overall, the macro drivers of industry rotation are projected to experience slight fluctuations, with rotation speed expected to be lower than in 2024 but higher than in 2021, suggesting a moderate level of rotation. A relatively balanced allocation strategy may be more favorable in the context of ongoing structural market expectations [4][21][22].
