Rating of the industry investment The report does not mention the industry investment rating. Core views of the report - In July, credit spreads first narrowed and then widened, with institutional behavior amplifying the market trends. Looking ahead to August, the liquidity of funds is expected to remain stable, but the growth of wealth - management scale will slow down, potentially increasing the volatility of credit bonds. Therefore, it is recommended to focus on credit bonds with good liquidity. The new tax regulations may enhance the coupon - rate attractiveness of credit bonds and draw in some incremental funds. Additionally, it is advisable to pay attention to the repair opportunities of medium - to - low - rated 2 - 3 - year and high - rated 3 - 5 - year credit bonds, as well as the investment opportunities of bank capital bonds with good liquidity [1][2][19] Summaries based on relevant catalogs 1. Seize repair opportunities and maintain liquidity 1.1 Credit bonds: focus on the repair market of medium - to - low - rated 2 - 3 - year and high - rated 3 - 5 - year bonds - In July, the long - end interest rate fluctuated upward, and credit bonds experienced increased volatility. Credit spreads first narrowed and then widened. In the early part of the month, loose liquidity and the recovery of wealth - management scale led to a narrowing of credit spreads. In the middle, the significant increase in the scale of Sci - tech Bond ETFs boosted the trading of credit bonds. However, in the late part, due to the adjustment of the bond market and tightened liquidity, wealth - management products preemptively redeemed funds, causing funds to sell credit bonds in the secondary market, leading to a widening of credit spreads. By the end of the month, the central bank's efforts to maintain liquidity led to a decline in interest rates and a repair of credit spreads [11][12] - In August, the growth of wealth - management scale is expected to slow，reducing the demand for credit bond allocation. As both yields and credit spreads are at low levels, the volatility of credit bonds may increase. It is recommended to focus on credit bonds with good liquidity [19] - The new tax regulations will increase the coupon - rate attractiveness of credit bonds, potentially attracting incremental funds. The varieties with relatively large adjustments in late July may experience a repair market. It is advisable to focus on the repair opportunities of medium - to - low - rated 2 - 3 - year and high - rated 3 - 5 - year bonds, especially those within 5 years [2][24] - During the adjustment period in late July, some high - rated individual bonds with good liquidity were sold first, resulting in a significant increase in yields. These bonds have relatively large repair space and faster repair speed. Specific individual bonds can be screened through brokerage data [25] 1.2 The impact of the new tax regulations on bank capital bonds may be limited - Theoretically, the new tax regulations reduce the cost - effectiveness of newly issued bank capital bonds relative to newly issued interest - rate bonds and general credit bonds. However, in practice, the main holders of bank capital bonds are bank self - operations, bank wealth - management products, and public funds. Bank self - operations often hold these bonds for business cooperation purposes, while bank wealth - management products and public funds are more focused on trading, so they may not consider the impact of taxes in the short term [31] - If the pricing of newly issued bank capital bonds after August 8 includes the tax premium of the new regulations, it may present a good investment opportunity as the high liquidity of new bonds may drive the narrowing of the spread between new and old bonds. The new regulations may also enhance the willingness of institutions to allocate old bonds, potentially leading to a duration - based market. Liquid 4 - 5 - year large - bank capital bonds are the best choice for capital - gain speculation [31][32] 2. Urban investment bonds: sentiment in both primary and secondary markets declined, and spreads of medium - and short - duration bonds narrowed - In July, the supply of urban investment bonds remained weak, with positive but year - on - year decreasing net financing. The overall issuance sentiment was high but gradually weakened.

The proportion of bonds with a maturity of over 5 years slightly increased, while the weighted average issuance coupon rate continued to decline [37] - Provincial performance varied, with most provinces having net inflows and about one - third still having net outflows. Shandong had the largest net financing, while Jiangsu had the largest net outflow [38] - Urban investment bonds showed differentiated performance in July. The yields of 1 - year bonds slightly decreased, while those of bonds with a maturity of 3 years and above increased. The credit spreads of bonds with a maturity of 5 years and within generally narrowed, while those of long - duration bonds mostly widened [40] - In the secondary market, the buying sentiment of urban investment bonds was fair, but it weakened slightly compared to June. The proportion of TKN transactions decreased from 75% to 71%, and the proportion of low - valuation transactions decreased from 74% to 64%. The trading of medium - and long - duration bonds was stable, and the proportion of low - grade bonds increased [44] 3. Industrial bonds: supply continued to increase, and low - rated and long - duration bonds performed better - In July, the issuance and net financing of industrial bonds increased year - on - year. The net financing of the public utilities, non - bank finance, food and beverage, and building decoration industries was relatively large. The issuance sentiment weakened significantly in late July [48] - The proportion of long - duration bonds with a maturity of over 5 years decreased significantly. The issuance interest rates of bonds within 1 year and 3 - 5 years decreased slightly, while that of bonds over 5 years increased slightly. Compared with urban investment bonds, the average issuance interest rates of industrial bonds were lower [50] - In July, the yields of industrial bonds showed differentiated performance, and most spreads narrowed. Low - rated and long - duration bonds with coupon - rate advantages performed better. The yields of 1 - year and 10 - year AA+ and AA and below medium - term notes generally decreased, while those of most medium - to - high - grade varieties increased. Credit spreads generally narrowed [51]
