Orient Securities·2025-12-23 03:15Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - The market's risk assessment of urban investment bonds after June 2027 has generally increased, but the "belief" remains unshaken. Before more positive factors emerge in the bond market, it is recommended to focus on urban investment bonds with a maturity of less than 3 years to explore their value. - Towards the end of the year, the bond market has shown overall weakness and increased volatility, mainly due to the strong wait - and - see sentiment of institutions such as banks and insurance companies, while trading desks have been active. Compared with previous years, there are more negative factors this year. Looking forward, the bond market is expected to remain highly volatile, and the yield center is likely to remain flat or rise slightly. Therefore, short - and medium - term credit bonds are still the better choice. - In the past two weeks, credit bonds with a maturity of less than 3 years have shown a good recovery trend, and their yields have basically returned to the level of late November. Although the 5 - year bonds have stabilized, there has been no obvious downward trend. The market strictly controls the duration of credit bonds, resulting in a relatively steep yield curve for many issuers around 3 years. Since the extension of Vanke's bonds, the market's risk assessment of urban investment bonds after June 2027 has generally increased, but there is no significant divergence in views. The pressure to sell is still greater for industrial bonds, such as those in the real estate and construction industries [6][9]. 3.
