信用策略周报20250420：信用偏弱何时休？-20250421

Group 1 - The credit market is experiencing structural weakness, with credit bond yields fluctuating alongside interest rates. Mid to long-term credits (3-4 years) are performing relatively well, while ultra-long credits are declining due to strong liquidity demands from institutions [1][12][38] - The buying power for ultra-long credit bonds is weakening, despite similar buying intensity compared to historical data. This is attributed to redemption disturbances leading to selling pressure, which is not sufficiently countered by returning buying power [2][19][24] - The low coupon rates of ultra-long credits (below 2.4%-2.5%) limit capital gain potential, making it difficult to engage in capital gain speculation. The ability to withstand price fluctuations is also low, with a tolerance of only 5 basis points [3][23][25] Group 2 - Short-term credits are actively traded, benefiting from their defensive characteristics and certainty. However, there is a scarcity of selling pressure due to institutions' reluctance to part with their holdings [4][31] - The 3-5 year segment of the credit curve remains steep, presenting opportunities for investors to capture yield through duration extension strategies [5][33] - The overall credit market is expected to compress spreads in the second quarter, supported by demand for wealth management products and allocation forces. Short-term credits will depend on the funding side, while long-term credits will gradually develop [6][35] Group 3 - In the primary market, the issuance of ultra-long bonds has increased, with a total issuance of 4,212 billion yuan and a net financing of 814 billion yuan. The weighted average issuance rate for credit bonds is 2.07%, remaining stable compared to the previous week [38][41] - The effective subscription multiple for credit bonds has decreased to 0.90 times, indicating weakened subscription sentiment, particularly in the short-term segment [38][42] - The ultra-long credit bonds issued during the week totaled 303 billion yuan, with some issuers offering coupon rates above 2.8% [46]
