Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The short - and medium - term performance of the bond market was strong this week due to the continued balanced and loose liquidity, stable overnight capital prices below 1.3%, and the potential for some institutions to buy short - term bonds to boost scale at the end of the year. The ultra - long end also recovered in the second half of the week. The report has a cautiously optimistic view on the bond market trend this year, suggesting short - term buying of TL contracts at low prices and taking profits at high prices. It believes that the probability of short - term policy rate cuts is not high, which will restrict the subsequent performance of the short - and medium - term bonds. For the ultra - long end, the 30Y Treasury bond yield around 2.3% may be attractive to allocation investors, but the recovery rhythm may be repeated due to factors such as the imbalance between supply and demand of ultra - long bonds and the unimplemented public offering new regulations [5]. - The continuous decline of overnight capital prices has raised the market's expectation of interest rate cuts to some extent, but the report remains cautious about short - term policy rate cuts. Next week, approaching the New Year and with a net government bond payment of over 300 billion yuan, the capital market may face certain disturbances, and it is recommended to pay attention to the central bank's MLF renewal [8]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Part I: Weekly Core Points Analysis and Strategy Recommendations Comprehensive Analysis - The monthly economic data released at the beginning of the week had few bright spots, but the domestic macro - narrative is still mainly driven by expectations, and the bond market continues to be insensitive to weak fundamental data. The capital market remains balanced and loose, with overnight capital prices stable below 1.3%, which has raised the market's expectation of interest rate cuts to some extent. The short - and medium - term bonds performed strongly this week, and the ultra - long end also recovered in the second half of the week. The central bank's loose stance remains unchanged, and the risks faced by the short - and medium - term bonds in the bond market are relatively controllable. However, the probability of short - term policy rate cuts is not high, which will restrict the subsequent performance of the short - and medium - term bonds. The 30Y Treasury bond yield around 2.3% may be attractive to allocation investors, and the high spread between new and old bonds may provide an additional safety cushion for the TL contract. But considering factors such as the unchanged macro - narrative driven by expectations, concerns about the imbalance between supply and demand of ultra - long bonds, and the unimplemented public offering new regulations, the recovery rhythm of the ultra - long end may be repeated. The report has a cautiously optimistic view on the bond market trend this year [5]. Strategy Recommendations - Unilateral: Try to buy TL contracts at low prices, be cautious about chasing high prices, and take profits in a timely manner. - Arbitrage: Wait and see for now [5]. Capital Market Situation - The central bank restarted the 14 - day reverse repurchase operation this week to protect the year - end market liquidity. The impact of tax payments and the freezing of funds for new share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange on the inter - bank capital market was relatively limited. Market capital prices continued to run at a low level, better than expected. As of Friday's close, DR001 reached 1.2706%, a new stage low, and DR007 was 1.4413%, still stable above the policy rate. The overnight and 7 - day non - bank capital spreads were 8.11bp and 7.35bp respectively. In terms of long - term funds, the one - year certificate of deposit issuance rate of joint - stock banks fluctuated around 1.66% this week [13]. Concerns about Supply and Demand of Ultra - Long Bonds - Since 2024, the absolute scale and proportion of ultra - long - term government bond issuance have increased significantly. In 2025, government bonds with a maturity of over 10 years have accumulated issuance of 6.7 trillion yuan, accounting for about 25.8%. Insurance companies, as the largest net buyers of ultra - long bonds in the secondary market, have seen slower growth in premium income on the liability side than the supply of ultra - long bonds on the asset side in the past two years. After "924" last year, policy incentives and the recovery of risk appetite led to the re - balancing of investors' asset portfolios, with more funds flowing into the equity and some commodity markets, further alleviating the "asset shortage" in the bond market and reducing the demand for long - term bonds. On the one hand, if the narrative of the equity market and some commodities changes, the inflow of funds may slow down. On the other hand, if the financing cost rises significantly, the term structure of government bond issuance may be adjusted, or the central bank may directly buy ultra - long bonds in the secondary market [15][22]. Continued Negative Growth of Some Domestic Demand Indicators - Data since the second half of the year shows that the multiplier effect of the previous policies to expand domestic demand was average. After the policy support weakened, the growth rate of domestic demand indicators declined. However, the domestic macro - narrative is driven by expectations, and the bond market continues to be insensitive to weak fundamental data [27]. Futures Bond Valuation - Calculated based on ChinaBond valuations and futures settlement prices, as of Friday's close, the IRRs of the TS, TF, T, and TL main contracts were approximately 1.6952%, 1.6643%, 1.5795%, and 1.1446% respectively. The overall valuation of the futures bond market is at a reasonable level. The relatively low IRR of the TL contract is partly due to the joint strengthening of the Friday's closing and the spot bond, while the futures settlement price was relatively low [33].
