股债跷跷板下信用债的"攻守道"

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since mid - July 2025, the credit bond trend has generally shown an "M" shape. Short - term bonds are more resilient than long - term bonds. Compared with previous "stock - strong and bond - weak" market conditions, this credit bond adjustment has different characteristics, mainly due to fewer significant negative factors. In the current situation where the equity market trend is not clear, it is recommended to adopt a medium - short - duration credit sinking strategy, and then consider a credit bond duration - extension strategy when market warming signals are observed [3][13][16]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. The credit bond trend has generally shown an "M" shape since mid - July - From July 21 to August 29, 2025, short - term bonds were more resilient than long - term bonds. One - year short - term urban investment bonds and bank ordinary bonds performed better, with yield adjustments of about 4 - 7BP and little widening of credit spreads. Five - year and above urban investment bonds and secondary perpetual bonds had more significant declines, and urban investment bonds performed poorly [3][14]. - The reasons for the credit bond adjustment were mainly the strong performance of the equity market suppressing the bullish sentiment in the bond market. The short - term bonds were more resilient because the popularity of "fixed income +" funds increased, and short - duration bonds could provide coupon income and reduce portfolio volatility [16]. 2. Differences between this credit bond adjustment and previous "stock - strong and bond - weak" market conditions - Different from previous adjustments, this credit bond adjustment had a smaller amplitude compared with interest - rate bonds and previous credit bond adjustments. The short - term yield increase was smaller, and short - term credit spreads were partially compressed, while they widened significantly in the past [3]. - The reasons for these differences were that in addition to the "stock - bond seesaw" effect, the previous two rounds were also affected by factors such as redemption pressure and liquidity tightening, while there were no significant negative factors in this round [3]. 3. Outlook for credit bonds - Previous bond market adjustments caused by the "stock - bond seesaw" effect usually ended when the stock market entered a correction. Either credit bonds or interest - rate bonds might recover first. - Currently, with the equity market trend still unclear, it is recommended to focus on a medium - short - duration credit sinking strategy and pay attention to short - term credits with coupons. When market warming signals are observed, a credit bond duration - extension strategy can be considered [3][37].
