债市，突发大跌！

Core Viewpoint - The 30-year government bond futures, once favored in the bond market, are experiencing a decline in popularity as the equity market continues to perform strongly, leading to a bearish sentiment in the bond market [1][2]. Group 1: Market Performance - On August 18, the 30-year government bond futures fell over 1%, marking a new low since early April this year. Other maturities, including 10-year, 5-year, and 2-year government bond futures, also saw varying degrees of decline [2][4]. - The 30-year government bond futures closed down 1.33%, while the 10-year, 5-year, and 2-year futures fell by 0.29%, 0.21%, and 0.04%, respectively [4]. - The yields on major interbank government bonds have risen sharply, with the 30-year bond yield increasing by 4.35 basis points to 2.0375%, and the 10-year bond yield rising by 3 basis points to 1.775% [4]. Group 2: Market Sentiment and Dynamics - The bond market is currently under pressure due to the strong performance of the equity market, which is suppressing bond market sentiment. Additionally, institutional redemptions are contributing to short-term risks in the bond market [2][4]. - The prevailing sentiment in the bond market is one of weakness, as it has shown a muted response to positive economic data while being more sensitive to negative influences from the equity and commodity markets [5][6]. Group 3: Future Outlook - According to research from Everbright Securities, the banking system currently has ample liquidity, and despite upcoming tax periods and month-end factors, the average DR007 is expected to be the lowest of the year in late August, alleviating concerns over significant increases in bond yields [6]. - The bond market may either decouple from the equity market or continue to react to its movements. The likelihood of bond yields declining in the short term is greater than the chance of them rising [6]. Group 4: Redemption Risks - The ongoing adjustments in the bond market could trigger a wave of redemptions from bond funds, further increasing volatility. The research team at Huachuang Fixed Income suggests that while there may be minor redemption pressures, the overall risk remains manageable as long as yields stay below 1.9% [8]. - The Ministry of Finance has announced measures to support the liquidity of government bonds in the secondary market, which could help stabilize the market amid these adjustments [8][9].
