信用周报：本轮信用债调整回顾与展望-20250804

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In August, credit bonds may be mostly volatile, with more opportunities than risks, and credit buying is relatively active. The "anti - involution" policy has returned to rationality, and the stock market may consolidate in August, which is conducive to the restoration of bond market sentiment. However, there are still volatile factors in the bond market in the future. The buying demand is expected to be relatively strong due to the upcoming reduction of insurance product preset interest rates and the new VAT regulations [27]. - After the previous adjustment, the spreads of general - purpose credit bonds still have room to narrow, and it is recommended to focus on general - purpose credit bonds with high - grade and good liquidity, as well as credit bond ETF component bonds. Second - tier and perpetual bonds should focus on the VAT exemption opportunities of old bonds [28][29]. 3. Summary by Directory Credit Hotspots: Review and Outlook of the Current Round of Credit Bond Adjustment - Adjustment and Repair Process: From July 18 - 29, credit bonds had an overall correction, with second - tier and perpetual bonds having the largest correction, followed by 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y general - purpose credit bonds. From July 29 - August 1, short - and medium - term second - tier and perpetual bonds repaired first, followed by high - grade 5Y and 10Y general - purpose credit bonds [1][13]. - Institutional Behavior: From July 21 - 29, funds sold a large amount of credit bonds, while wealth management and insurance increased their positions. Since the repair, institutional buying has been active, and the short - term redemption wave has basically subsided. Before the reduction of insurance product preset interest rates on August 31, the buying may continue [17]. - Credit Bond ETF: From July 18 - 29, the prices of credit bond ETFs declined, and the scale of benchmark - making credit bond ETFs decreased, while most of the science - innovation bond ETFs increased. During the repair period, credit bond ETFs recovered. The component bonds of credit bond ETFs had a larger decline during the adjustment and a smaller recovery than non - component bonds, but the difference was not significant [18].
