Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The issuance scale of floating - rate bonds in China has shown a fluctuating upward trend in the past 30 years, with significant shrinkage in the past three years. The benchmark interest rate has changed from single to diverse, and the dominant bond varieties have alternated between policy - bank bonds and asset - backed securities. The issuance term has evolved from high concentration to dispersion and then back to concentration [29][35][45]. - The valuation of floating - rate bonds is based on the discounted cash flow method (DCF). The key difficulties lie in predicting future coupon payments and selecting the discount rate. The change in the benchmark interest rate and the term spread △y can affect the value of floating - rate bonds [106][109][144]. - Floating - rate bonds are more resistant to decline in a bear market but weaker in a bull market compared to fixed - rate bonds. The absolute value change of floating - rate bonds is complex, and its value is affected by the relative changes of the benchmark interest rate and the market interest rate [161][168][197]. - Based on the analysis of the cash - flow simulation of floating - rate bonds, the market implies that the 1 - year LPR will decline steadily in the next two years and then rise. The floating - rate bonds of China Development Bank imply a stronger expectation of interest - rate cuts than those of Agricultural Development Bank [319][339]. - Considering the expected interest - rate cuts in the second half of the year, the allocation value of floating - rate bonds may be lower than that of fixed - rate bonds [353][356]. Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Floating - Rate Bond Historical Changes and Current Situation - **Historical Changes** - **Issuance Scale**: It has experienced three rounds of expansion and adjustment in the past 30 years. The first round (1995 - 2002) was an exploration period with the first breakthrough to the 10 - billion - level. The second round (2003 - 2013) was a consolidation period with the scale reaching 50 - billion - level. The third round (2014 - 2024) was a mature and fluctuating period with the peak exceeding 60 - billion - level, but it has shrunk significantly in the past three years [35][37]. - **Benchmark Interest Rate**: It has changed from a single 1 - year fixed - deposit interest rate to a diverse range, including 7 - day repo rate average, LIBOR, SHIBOR, LPR, etc. Currently, LPR and DR series have become the mainstream [41][45][48]. - **Bond Varieties**: Policy - bank bonds and asset - backed securities have alternately dominated. Policy - bank bonds were dominant in the early stage, and asset - backed securities took the lead in 2014. Since 2022, policy - bank bonds have regained the dominant position [50][60][61]. - **Issuance Term**: It has evolved from high concentration in the 7 - 10 - year term to dispersion and then back to concentration in the 2 - 3 - year term [65][71][72]. - **Current Situation** - As of the end of 2024, the stock of floating - rate bonds in China was 50.08 billion yuan, accounting for 0.3% of the total bond balance. The top three in terms of bond varieties are policy - bank bonds, ABS, and non - financial corporate credit bonds. The top three in terms of benchmark interest rates are 1 - year LPR, DR007, and 5 - year LPR [78]. 2. Floating - Rate Bond Valuation Method - **Valuation Principle and Theoretical Calculation Method**: It is based on the DCF method. The key is to predict future coupon payments and select the discount rate. The China Foreign Exchange Trade System has a specific valuation formula for non - option - embedded and non - early - repayment floating - rate bonds. However, the simple model does not reflect the market's expectation of future interest rates [106][112][116]. - **Analysis of Factors Affecting Investment Value**: The change in the benchmark interest rate can affect the value of floating - rate bonds. Generally, an increase in the benchmark interest rate leads to a decline in bond value, and vice versa. The impact is greater when the valuation date is farther from the reset date. The term spread △y also affects the bond value, and its impact needs to be considered in combination with the benchmark interest rate [120][139][144]. 3. Relative Value Assessment of Floating - Rate Bonds (Based on Historical Backtracking) - Floating - rate bonds are more resistant to decline in a bear market but weaker in a bull market compared to fixed - rate bonds. In a rising - interest - rate environment, the price decline of floating - rate bonds is smaller than that of fixed - rate bonds. In a falling - interest - rate environment, the performance of fixed - rate bonds is better [161][162][180]. 4. Absolute Value Assessment of Floating - Rate Bonds (Based on Historical Backtracking) - The absolute value change of floating - rate bonds is complex. By observing the historical trends of two floating - rate bonds with DR007 as the benchmark interest rate, it is found that when the benchmark interest rate and the market interest rate change in opposite directions, the value change direction of floating - rate bonds is clear; when they move in the same direction, the value change direction cannot be determined; when they are flat, the value center is stable [197][269][271]. 5. Future Interest - Rate Cut Path Implied by Current Floating - Rate Bonds - By simulating the cash flows of three actively traded floating - rate bonds of Agricultural Development Bank, it is inferred that the 1 - year LPR will decline steadily in the next two years and then rise. The floating - rate bonds of China Development Bank imply a stronger expectation of interest - rate cuts and a faster interest - rate cut speed than those of Agricultural Development Bank [319][339]. 6. Consideration of Floating - Rate Bond Investment Value - Considering the expected interest - rate cuts in the second half of the year, the allocation value of floating - rate bonds may be lower than that of fixed - rate bonds. For DR007 floating - rate bonds, the decline of DR007 may compress the coupon income, and different interest - rate cut scenarios will affect the capital gains of floating - rate bonds [353][356][362].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The value of floating - rate bonds is affected by factors such as changes in the benchmark interest rate, term spreads, and market expectations of interest rate movements. In a rising interest - rate environment, floating - rate bonds are more resistant to price declines compared to fixed - rate bonds, but they perform relatively weakly in a falling interest - rate environment. - Based on simulations of floating - rate bonds, the market expects the 1 - year LPR to decline steadily in the next two years, reaching a low of 2.8% in April 2027, and then rise to 3.1% by the end of 2027. - Considering the potential for additional interest rate cuts in the second half of the year, the allocation value of floating - rate bonds may be lower than that of fixed - rate bonds. Similarly, the current allocation value of DR007 floating - rate bonds may also be lower than that of fixed - rate bonds [167][177]. 3. Directory Summaries 3.1 China's Floating - Rate Bond Historical Changes - **Issuance Scale**: Over the past 30 years, China's floating - rate bond issuance scale has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with three rounds of expansion and adjustment. The issuance scale reached a historical peak of 637.6 billion yuan in 2021, but has significantly decreased in the past three years [14]. - **Benchmark Interest Rate**: It has evolved from a single benchmark (1 - year fixed - deposit interest rate) to a diversified one. Currently, LPR and DR007 are the mainstream benchmark interest rates [20][27]. - **Bond Types**: Policy - bank bonds and asset - backed securities have alternately dominated the market. Since 2022, policy - bank bonds have once again become the main type of floating - rate bonds [34][41]. - **Issuance Term**: The issuance term has changed from being highly concentrated (7 - 10 years) to gradually diversified and then re - concentrated (2 - 3 years) [46][51]. 3.2 Floating - Rate Bond Valuation Method - **Valuation Principle**: Based on the discounted cash - flow method (DCF), the present value of a floating - rate bond is calculated by discounting future coupon payments and the principal at maturity to the current point in time. However, the difficulty lies in predicting future coupon payments and selecting the discount rate [63][64]. - **Factors Affecting Investment Value**: Changes in the benchmark interest rate and term spreads (∆y) affect the value of floating - rate bonds. Generally, an increase in the benchmark interest rate leads to a decrease in bond value, and vice versa. The impact of term spreads on bond value needs to be analyzed in combination with changes in the benchmark interest rate [77][80]. 3.3 Relative Value of Floating - Rate Bonds - **Comparison with Fixed - Rate Bonds**: In a rising interest - rate environment, the price decline of floating - rate bonds is smaller than that of fixed - rate bonds; in a falling interest - rate environment, floating - rate bonds perform slightly worse than fixed - rate bonds [86][94]. 3.4 Absolute Value of Floating - Rate Bonds (Based on Historical Backtracking) - By observing the historical trends of floating - rate bonds with DR007 as the benchmark, it is found that the value changes of floating - rate bonds are complex and are affected by the fluctuations of the National Development Bank bond rate and DR007. When the two rates move in opposite directions, the direction of the floating - rate bond value change is clear; when they are stable, the value center of the floating - rate bond is stable; when they move in the same direction, the direction of the value change is uncertain [101][134]. 3.5 Future Interest - Rate Cut Path Implied by Current Floating - Rate Bonds - By simulating the cash flows of floating - rate bonds, the market's implied interest - rate cut/ hike path for the 1 - year LPR in the next three years can be predicted. The market expects the 1 - year LPR to decline steadily in the next two years, reach a low of 2.8% in April 2027, and then rise to 3.1% by the end of 2027. The implied interest - rate cut expectations of floating - rate National Development Bank bonds are stronger than those of Agricultural Development Bank bonds [154][162]. 3.6 Investment Value of Floating - Rate Bonds - **1 - year LPR Floating - Rate Bonds**: Considering the potential for additional interest rate cuts in the second half of the year, the allocation value of floating - rate bonds may be lower than that of fixed - rate bonds [167]. - **DR007 Floating - Rate Bonds**: Through scenario analysis, it is found that under most scenarios, the current allocation value of DR007 floating - rate bonds is lower than that of fixed - rate bonds [172][175].
