【宏观】债市开年如何破局？——《央行观察》系列第十三篇（赵格格/王佳雯）

Core Viewpoint - The three major concerns previously affecting the bond market have been partially digested, with actual impacts being lower than market expectations. However, with upward policy impulses, the economy and stock market are expected to experience a "good start," which may continue to pressure bond market sentiment. Positive factors should not be overlooked, as the government bond supply's duration does not strongly explain interest rate trends, and besides the 50 billion yuan bond purchase signal, the central bank has both the willingness and ability to support liquidity. The overall outlook for the bond market is not pessimistic, and current strategies should focus on allocation while patiently waiting for trading opportunities [4]. Group 1: Diminishing Disturbances in the Bond Market - Since the beginning of the year, the domestic bond market has remained relatively calm compared to the volatility in other asset classes like stocks and commodities. This stability is primarily due to the fading of three major disturbances: the potential redemption pressure from new public fund sales regulations, fluctuations in year-end funding, and the impact of ultra-long bond supply. The first two factors have materialized with actual negative effects being lower than expected, while the recent rise in 30-year government bond yields has adequately responded to the ultra-long bond supply shock [5]. Group 2: Key Focus Points for Bond Market Breakthrough - How substantial is the economic "good start"? From a policy perspective, fiscal policy is taking the lead, with funding and project arrangements secured. Leading indicators show that the manufacturing PMI for December 2025 exceeded expectations, and seasonal characteristics indicate a higher month-on-month growth rate for M1 in January due to the later timing of the 2026 Spring Festival [6] - Can expectations for monetary policy easing be revised upward? Given the "good start" in the economy and stock market, total monetary policy easing may be further delayed, but current market expectations for rate cuts are relatively rational. The central bank has maintained a supportive stance regarding narrow liquidity [6] - What is the rhythm of ultra-long government bond supply? Historically, changes in issuance duration have shown weak explanatory power for the movements of 10-year and 30-year government bond yields. Additionally, with the total increase in government bonds being controllable, the impact of supply appears to be more like several small pulses [6] - How strong is the willingness of allocation plates to absorb? The central bank's monetary policy undoubtedly supports government bond supply, and the liquidity environment is expected to remain supportive. There is a positive outlook on whether institutions will increase their allocation of ultra-long bonds [6] - Will the stock-bond "seesaw" effect persist? In terms of cost-effectiveness, the current risk premium in the stock market has gradually fallen to the 1/2 to 3/4 percentile range since 2002, indicating a shift from significant undervaluation towards median regression. However, the static cost-effectiveness still favors stocks over bonds. Considering the economic and risk preference factors in the first quarter of 2026, the strong stock and weak bond pattern may be difficult to reverse [6][7]
