  1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the yield of long - term bonds increased slightly, and the yield curve steepened. Factors such as positive May Day holiday consumption data, rising expectations of Sino - US trade war easing, and better - than - expected April import and export data, along with the full pricing of loose monetary policy in long - term bonds before, led to the increase in long - term bond yields. The short - end interest rates decreased significantly due to the implementation of interest rate and reserve requirement ratio cuts and the overall loose funding situation [1]. - This week (the week of May 12), the bond market is expected to continue the volatile pattern. The better - than - expected April import and export data had a certain negative impact on the bond market, but subsequent tariff impacts will be more evident, and the weak price data and less - than - expected April financial data support the bond market. The implementation of the reserve requirement ratio cut on Thursday will inject about 1 trillion yuan of long - term liquidity into the banking system, and a new round of large - scale banks will lower deposit interest rates. The resumption of treasury bond trading operations is also expected to open up the downward space for the short - end and gradually transmit to the medium - and long - end. However, the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations and the recovery of risk appetite will have a negative impact on the long - end bond yields. Overall, the 10 - year treasury bond yield will fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.7%, may rise slightly, the short - end interest rates will further decline, and the yield curve is expected to continue to steepen [1]. 3.
