  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market has returned to the main theme of oscillation, with short - term performance relatively strong. The central bank's series of operations, including conducting large - scale outright reverse repurchases and considering canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases, aim to release liquidity and stabilize market expectations. Logically, short - term interest - rate bonds and high - liquidity credit products may benefit, but the long - term market may still be affected by various factors and maintain an oscillatory pattern [1][6][9]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Market Trends - From July 14 - 18, the bond market maintained an oscillatory pattern, with most interest - rate bond yields declining. The adjustment pressure was mainly concentrated on long - term and ultra - long - term bonds, especially 30 - year treasury bonds. As of July 18, the yields of 1Y, 2Y, 10Y, 30Y, and 50Y treasury bonds changed by - 2.1BP, - 1.9BP, 0.0BP, + 1.4BP, - 0.7BP respectively compared to last week, reaching 1.35%, 1.38%, 1.67%, 1.89%, 1.95% [1][9]. - The bond market showed a "reverse V - shaped" trend due to the combination of multiple factors such as the central bank's operations, economic data releases, and the central bank's public consultation on canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases [9]. 3.2 Central Bank's New Movements - During the tax payment period this week, the central bank continuously maintained net reverse repurchase injections and conducted 1.4 trillion yuan of outright reverse repurchases, with a net injection of 200 billion yuan, releasing a signal of caring for the capital market. The central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchases totaled 1.7268 trillion yuan, with 425.7 billion yuan due, achieving a net injection of 1.3011 trillion yuan. MLF due was 100 billion yuan, and the outright reverse repurchase injection was 1.4 trillion yuan, with a net injection of 200 billion yuan [9][17]. - As of July 18, R001 and R007 changed by + 8.4BP and - 0.1BP respectively compared to last week, reaching 1.49% and 1.51%; DR001 and DR007 increased by 11.4BP and 3.5BP respectively, reaching 1.46% and 1.51% [17]. - After the central bank cut the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points in May and carried out outright reverse repurchases in advance in June, it conducted another 1.4 trillion yuan of outright reverse repurchases in July, making outright operations gradually normalized, which shows the central bank's attitude of caring for liquidity and supporting broad credit and further stabilizes market expectations [2][19]. - The reasons for the central bank to conduct outright reverse repurchases are to hedge the capital gap and relieve the pressure on the bank's liability side to support the real - economy credit supply [19][21]. - Compared with pledged repurchases, outright reverse repurchases have longer terms, reduce the pressure of short - term tool roll - overs, weaken the dependence on the credit quality of bank collateral, lower the financing threshold for small and medium - sized banks, and improve the efficiency of liquidity release [3][23]. 3.3 Understanding the Central Bank's Cancellation of the Freeze of Collateral in Bond Repurchases - On July 18, the central bank publicly solicited opinions on the "Decision of the People's Bank of China on Amending Some Rules (Draft for Comment)", which included canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases, aiming to facilitate monetary policy operations such as open - market treasury bond trading and promote the high - level opening of the bond market [25]. - The reasons for the central bank to propose canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases are that the current pledged repurchase model in China leads to a large "precipitation" of high - grade bonds and low efficiency in collateral disposal when the financing party defaults, while international mature markets generally use outright repurchases where collateral can be circulated again. Also, canceling the freeze can unfreeze the 6 - trillion - yuan daily repurchase market and enhance the flexibility of domestic liquidity management [4][27]. - If the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases is canceled, the capital market is expected to see a pattern of "stable quantity and falling price". Short - term interest - rate bonds may benefit and have downward space, while long - term bonds may maintain an oscillatory pattern, and the yield curve is more likely to steepen [5][32]. 3.4 Next Week's Key Points of Attention - Monday (July 21): China's 1Y and 5Y LPR quotes. - Tuesday (July 22): China's June bank foreign exchange settlement, US July Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index. - Wednesday (July 23): US June M2 month - on - month, EU July Consumer Confidence Index. - Thursday (July 24): Eurozone July benchmark interest rate, Eurozone July overnight deposit rate. - Friday (July 25): China's July MLF injection, Eurozone June M2 year - on - year [37].
