  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second half of 2025, the credit bond issuance is expected to continue expanding, with the issuance scale possibly reaching its peak in the third quarter. The issuance and net financing scale of urban investment bonds may further shrink, while the expansion of industrial bonds and science - and technology innovation bonds will dominate the supply. The yield of the bond market may continue the downward trend, and the credit spread may still have room for compression. Investors are advised to dig into the investment value of high - grade credit bonds, pay attention to market fluctuations, and focus on investment opportunities in the consumption field, stable industries, and science - and technology innovation bond field [5][6][48]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 First - half Review of the Credit Bond Market 3.1.1 Primary Market - Overall issuance situation: The total issuance of credit bonds increased moderately, with a net financing scale of 971.083 billion yuan, showing a mild recovery. The issuance interest rate first rose and then fell, remaining at a low level. The term structure continued to optimize, with the proportion of medium - and long - term varieties increasing. The issuance scale of medium - term notes continued to expand, and the issuance scale of corporate bonds exceeded that of ultra - short - term financing for the first time [5][7][12]. - Industry differences: The issuance of industrial bonds expanded significantly, with a scale of 4.26 trillion yuan and a net financing scale of 1.11 trillion yuan.

The credit spread of medium - and short - term notes generally narrowed by 2 - 68bp, and most of the inter - grade spreads also narrowed [43]. - Industry spread: The spreads of all industries narrowed comprehensively. The real estate industry still had the highest spread, but it narrowed compared with the first quarter.

The credit spread may reach its lowest point in the third quarter, but there is a possibility of an "up - after - down" reversal in interest rates in the fourth quarter [48][49]. 3.2.2 Interest Rate Trend - The bond market yield may continue the downward trend. The 10 - year treasury bond yield may operate in the range of 1.4% - 1.7%.

Specific investment fields include the consumption field, stable industries, and science - and technology innovation bond fields [54][55].
