1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market is in a volatile and weak - trending situation, with the long - end and short - end yields showing different trends. The long - end yields move up and down following multiple logics, while the short - end yields are at a low level and are weakly volatile. The central bank's bond - buying operation may open up the game space for long - term interest rates, but the "rush - ahead" market in the bond market from November to December this year may not necessarily reappear [1][5][6]. - The positioning of the central bank's national debt trading tool is becoming more diversified and three - dimensional, which is an important part of improving the micro - foundation of the bond market and enhancing pricing efficiency. The impact of the scale of bond - buying on liquidity is not the main factor, and the ultimate shape of the yield curve depends on the desired range, which is affected by market expectations, fundamental conditions, and institutional behavior [2][3][12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review: Bond Market Continues to Seek Direction - This week, the bond market showed a volatile and weak - trending market under the rapid switching of multiple pricing logics. The long - end yields first declined and then rose following the logics of "central bank's bond - buying implementation - stock market strength suppressing - expectation fermentation of the new regulations on fund sales fees implementation", while the short - end yields were at a low level, and the central bank's bond - buying had limited boosting effect, showing a weak - trending volatility. On Friday, the short - end yields continued to correct due to slightly tight funds [1][8]. - At the beginning of the week, the market was mainly pricing around the central bank's restart of bond - buying in October. After the implementation of national debt trading on Tuesday afternoon, the long - end yields first rose and then strengthened. On Wednesday afternoon, the trading logic switched to the "stock - bond seesaw", and the bond market was suppressed by the strong stock market. On Friday, the expectation of the new regulations on fund sales fees implementation dominated the bond market, and the tightened funds also dragged down the market [8]. 3.2 This Week's Focus: How to Price the Yield Curve with the Central Bank's Resumption of Bond - Buying? - On October 27, the central bank mentioned resuming national debt trading, with new information including directly linking national debt trading to guiding the yield curve shape, affirming the current bond market operation, emphasizing two - way trading operations, and believing that national debt trading is beneficial to the reform and development of the bond market and the improvement of financial institutions' market - making and pricing capabilities [2][10]. - In October, the central bank net - bought 20 billion yuan of national debt. There is no need to over - focus on the relationship between the bond - buying scale in October and the operation time. The scale of bond - buying does not have a major impact on liquidity. National debt trading may open up the game space for long - term interest rates, and the market's pricing of the resumption of bond - buying may be nearing the end [3][12][14]. - The scale of bond - buying affects the market through expectations. A higher scale can boost market confidence, while a limited scale may be a short - term negative factor. The final shape of the yield curve depends on the desired range, which is affected by market expectations of interest rate trends, fundamental repair conditions, and institutional behavior [4][15][17]. 3.3 Next Week's Concern: Will There Be a "Rush - Ahead" Market at the End of the Year? - Near the end of the year, the market is turning its attention to the cross - year allocation market. The "rush - ahead" market at the end of last year was the main driving force for the rapid decline of bond market interest rates. However, this year, there are differences. The sustainability of the purchases by allocation - oriented investors such as rural commercial banks, large - scale banks, and insurance companies remains to be observed, and the increase in the purchase scale of wealth management products and funds is mainly driven by the expansion of the liability side, not by the rapid decline of bond market interest rates [5][19]. - It is believed that the "rush - ahead" market in the bond market from November to December this year may not necessarily reappear. The purchases by allocation - oriented investors may be restricted by floating losses and the high - base effect of last year's performance. Additionally, the imagination space for loose monetary policy has shrunk compared to the end of last year [5][22]. 3.4 Outlook for the Future - If the stock market strengthens and concerns about the new fund regulations ferment, it will still suppress the bond market. However, the wave - like recovery of the fundamentals and the central bank's resumption of bond - buying limit the upward adjustment momentum of interest rates. The cross - year allocation market remains to be confirmed, but the game space for long - term interest rates may be opened up. One can try to seize trading opportunities for long - term interest rates but should respond cautiously with a volatile mindset [6][23]. - In terms of spread trading, the current bond - swapping market has generally ended. The further compression space of the "China Development Bank Bond - National Debt" spread needs to be continuously observed based on the purchasing momentum of allocation - oriented investors. The "deposit transfer" may make the scale of wealth management products resilient, and the purchasing power of wealth management products may support medium - and short - term credit bonds. One can focus on medium - and short - duration bonds with coupon value [6][23][24].
