  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After last week's unexpected adjustment, bond market interest rates may reach their peak. The main reasons for the adjustment are tight liquidity, increased inflation expectations due to "anti - involution", and the impact of the rising equity market on the bond market [7][14]. - The tight liquidity is not a cause - effect relationship with the bond market adjustment but a synchronous one. The central bank's increased MLF and reverse - repo operations on Friday indicate its intention to break the negative feedback, so the tight liquidity is not expected to last [7][14]. - The inflation expectations increase caused by "anti - involution" will not last long. It is difficult for the PPI to turn positive this year, and the market expectations will gradually subside, reducing the impact on the bond market [7][14]. - The equity market will continue to rise, but the stock market's rise is not a sufficient condition for interest rate hikes. The continued rise of the equity market will mainly be driven by the improved expectations of national governance and technological - led economic transformation, with a limited impact on the bond market. A scenario of both rising stocks and bonds is still possible [7][15]. - For highly liquid interest - rate bonds, it is recommended to gradually participate, such as 10 - year treasury bonds with yields above 1.7% and 30 - year treasury bonds with yields above 1.95%. For less liquid credit bonds, there may still be a risk of catch - up decline, so it is advisable to wait and see. For convertible bonds, although the valuation is expensive, their investment value driven by the equity market is still optimistic [7][19]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Interest Rate Viewpoint: Re - examining the Reasons for Bond Market Adjustment - Interest Rates May Reach the Peak - The reasons for the bond market adjustment include tight liquidity, increased inflation expectations due to "anti - involution", and the impact of the rising equity market. However, these factors are not expected to have a long - term negative impact on the bond market [7][14]. - The tight liquidity is part of a negative feedback loop but the central bank's actions suggest it will not persist. The inflation expectations increase from "anti - involution" will fade as PPI is unlikely to turn positive this year. The equity market's rise does not necessarily lead to a bond market decline, and a dual - bull market for stocks and bonds is possible [7][15]. 3.2 This Week's Key Points in the Fixed - Income Market: The Fed's Interest Rate Decision Will Be Announced 3.2.1 Intensive Release of Overseas Data - This week, China will release July PMI, the US will release July non - farm payrolls, July ADP, and the Fed's interest rate decision, and the Eurozone will release the June unemployment rate [21]. 3.2.2 The Issuance of Interest - Rate Bonds This Week Continues to Remain at a Relatively High Level - This week, it is expected to issue 677.2 billion yuan of interest - rate bonds, which is at a relatively high level compared to the same period [22]. 3.3 Review and Outlook of Interest - Rate Bonds: Bond Funds Have Experienced Continuous Redemptions 3.3.1 Slight Net Withdrawal of Reverse Repos - The central bank's open - market operations maintained a neutral net injection.

The secondary market yield of CDs increased rapidly, driving up the primary issuance rate [39]. 3.3.2 Obvious Upward Adjustment of Interest Rates - At the beginning of the week, with loose liquidity but hot sentiment in the stock and commodity markets, there was a large amount of profit - taking funds in the bond market, and the long - end interest rates adjusted slightly.
