Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - The low - inflation environment is the foundation of the bond bull market. The recent rise in commodity prices and equity market fluctuations have made investors worry about the change in the bond market trend. However, the long - term trend of the bond market may not have changed, and adjustments bring opportunities [2]. - The "anti - involution" policy is a structural reform. Although it aims to address over - capacity and boost inflation in the long run, the current implementation may have short - term negative impacts on the economy and may not be conducive to the sustainable recovery of inflation [2]. - The recent fluctuations in the bond market are mainly due to the "anti - involution" policy, the rise in commodity prices, and short - term disturbances in the capital market such as the freezing of funds for new share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange. The central bank is likely to maintain a relatively loose liquidity environment in the short term [3]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Demand - Driven Investment Policies Cannot Change the Low - Inflation State - In Q2 2025, China's GDP growth rate was 5.2%, and the cumulative growth rate in the first half of the year reached 5.3%. However, due to the decline in inflation, the nominal GDP growth rate in Q2 dropped to 3.9%, a new low since the pandemic. This may be the reason for the "anti - involution" policy [6]. - Since 2018, China's core CPI has been in a downward trend, especially after 2021, remaining below 1%, which may be affected by the decline of the real estate market. Overseas experience shows that low - inflation environments in major developed economies are usually triggered by demand - side shocks [11]. - China's real estate and urban investment platforms absorbed a large amount of financial resources before 2021. After the real estate market declined, these sectors faced debt risks. The policies to address these risks have limited short - term impact on demand [16]. - In the demand side, measures such as development - oriented policy financial instruments in 2022 and additional treasury bond issuance in 2023 aimed at major project construction. However, they could not fully offset the impact of the decline in urban investment financing on infrastructure investment. Manufacturing investment has become a new driver of stable growth, but it has also led to over - capacity and low inflation [21]. 3.2. The Intention and Alienation of the "Anti - Involution" Policy - The low - inflation state in China is closely related to over - capacity in the manufacturing industry, which is the background for the "anti - involution" policy. The capital expenditure growth rate of manufacturing listed companies has been declining, and the over - capacity may be due to local government intervention [25]. - The Sixth Meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission on July 1, 2025, can be regarded as the top - level plan for "anti - involution", aiming to address over - capacity by constraining local government behavior. However, the current implementation focuses on short - term inflation through measures like production restrictions and price alliances, which may not lead to sustainable inflation recovery [27]. - Different from the 2015 supply - side reform, the current over - capacity is mainly concentrated in the mid - and downstream sectors, and it is more difficult to clear through administrative orders. Without demand - side support, the price increase caused by production restrictions may be short - term [29]. 3.3. Inflation Priority Increase Does Not Justify Central Bank Tightening; Capital Market Fluctuations Are Affected by Short - Term Factors - The recent tightening of the capital market and the central bank's OMO net withdrawal have made investors worry about the change in monetary policy. However, considering the policy goal of boosting inflation, the central bank has no reason to tighten in the short term [33]. - The freezing of funds for new share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange has affected the capital market. For example, the 6288 billion yuan frozen for the online issuance of Dingjia Precision on July 22 has caused fluctuations in the capital market. After the funds were unfrozen on July 24, large - scale transfers may have reduced banks' willingness to lend, but the central bank's net withdrawal has increased market concerns [37]. - The central bank is likely to maintain a relatively loose liquidity environment, and the short - term fluctuations in DR001 are expected to return to the 1.3% - 1.4% range [42]. 3.4. Short - Term Focus on Overshoot Rebound; Medium - Term Wait for Further Clarity of Macroeconomic Data - The long - term trend of the bond market may not have changed, and the short - term bond market may rebound. However, the bond market structure is still fragile after the rebound, and there is a possibility of a second shock [45]. - Currently, trading can be carried out with a volatile mindset. Short - term participation in market rebounds is possible, but profit - taking can be considered when the 10 - year bond yield falls below 1.7%. The greater opportunity in the bond market may come from the falsification of the inflation - boosting expectation of the "anti - involution" policy, which may require a decline in Q3 economic data or the disappointment of incremental policies after the Politburo meeting [46].
