The recommendation is to dig deeper into bonds with maturities of 3 years or less, while maintaining a longer duration in high-quality areas. The report emphasizes the importance of seizing post-adjustment allocation opportunities without overly shortening durations [9][11] - In the industrial bond sector, valuation is primarily supported by the credit backing of central and state-owned enterprises rather than fundamentals.

The focus is on medium to large-sized entities with attractive coupon yields [11][29] Group 2 - The weekly review indicates a significant reduction in credit bond issuance, with a 49% decrease to 179.2 billion yuan, while the total repayment volume also decreased to 165.8 billion yuan, resulting in a net inflow of 13.4 billion yuan. The report notes that the issuance cost for medium-rated new bonds has increased, with average coupon rates for AAA and AA+ rated bonds at 2.01% and 2.46%, respectively [18][19] - The secondary market shows a comprehensive valuation recovery across all grades and maturities, with a central downward adjustment of approximately 3 basis points.
