- Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, due to low volatility and high returns, institutions still favor 3 - 4 - year general credit bonds. With the compression of the 4Y - 3Y spread and the expansion of the 3Y - 2Y spread, the 3Y - 2Y interval can be the key focus area in the future [4][15]. - Under the influence of risk - aversion sentiment and inflation concerns, institutions may remain cautious about long - term bonds in the short term, while short - term bonds have greater certainty. The short - term yield is at a historical low, with limited room for further significant decline. The medium - short - term term spread is at about 40% - 60% quantile, and the 3 - year credit spread quantile is relatively high, so there may still be room for further compression in the 2 - 3 - year period [3][12]. 3.
