债市投资者预期调查：债市调整后，市场怎么看？

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The bond market has recently undergone significant adjustments, and the adjustment may not be over yet. The market generally expects the yield of the 10 - year active bond to operate between 1.7% - 1.8% in the next month, with the yield top at 1.8% and the bottom at 1.6% in the second half of the year. The report maintains the mid - term strategy of 1.6% - 1.9% for the 10 - year treasury bond [3][8]. - The market generally expects the yield curve to steepen, with a higher probability of a bear steepening. Making the curve steeper remains a relatively high - probability strategy [11]. - The expected returns of bond funds have been significantly downgraded, and bonds are currently the least favored major asset class. The market expects the yield of medium - and long - term bond funds to be below 2% for over 80% of the time, and below 1.5% for 40% of the time this year [3][15]. - The bond market may experience some oversold rebounds, but the upside is limited due to insufficient internal positive factors. It is recommended to be cautious with duration, lower annual return expectations, maintain a low - volatility portfolio, and seize short - term trading opportunities [3][17]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Reasons for the Bond Market Adjustment - The rise of commodities and equities is considered the main reason. The stock and commodity markets have strengthened this week, with the duration and amplitude exceeding market expectations, which has weakened the sentiment in the bond market. The low interest rate level is a secondary reason, as the low cost - effectiveness of bond assets and limited downward space for interest rates lead to significant adjustments when there are negative factors [3][5]. Bond Market Stabilization - Most views believe that the bond market has not yet stabilized, but small - scale entry is possible. Some also think that sentiment has reversed and short - term stabilization is difficult, while few believe the adjustment has ended. The bond market has been affected by risk assets in the past few days, and yesterday's sharp decline was also due to the tightening of funds in July and the lower - than - expected MLF roll - over at the end of the session [3][5]. Yield Point Estimation - 1.8% is generally considered the upper limit of this round of adjustment. Most think the 10 - year active bond will operate between 1.7% - 1.8% in the next month, with the yield top at 1.8% and the bottom at 1.6% in the second half of the year. The report believes that there may be some repair around 1.8%, and oversold rebound operations can be carried out in the range of 1.75% - 1.8%, but the interest rate adjustment may not be over in the whole - year dimension [3][8]. Yield Curve Expectation - The market generally expects the yield curve to steepen, with a higher probability of a bear steepening. Since July, funds have been relatively loose, so the short - end adjustment has been significantly smaller than the long - end. The market generally expects funds to maintain the current level, while the long - end is more affected by other factors. Making the curve steeper remains a relatively high - probability strategy [11]. Risks and Opportunities in the Bond Market - The mainstream expectations for bond market opportunities are central bank bond purchases, A - share and commodity market corrections, while the attention to real estate and tariffs has weakened. Risk factors are more diverse, including A - share rises, institutional redemption pressure, central bank tightening of liquidity, and inflation increases. Although the decline in this round is less than that in the first quarter, the redemption of bond funds is stronger, and the secondary impact of redemptions needs to be vigilant [3][13]. Bond Fund Return Expectation - The expected returns of bond funds have been significantly downgraded, and bonds are currently the least favored major asset class. As of July 22, the year - to - date returns of the money market fund index and the long - term pure bond fund index are 0.77% and 0.70% respectively. Over 80% of the market expects the yield of medium - and long - term bond funds to be below 2% this year, and 40% expect it to be below 1.5%, indicating that the market expects the second - half returns to be difficult to exceed the first - half returns [3][15].
