白雪指出，总体来看，市场对美债的承接能力弱化，与美联储缩表减持美债、美国国内共同基金降低美 债配置，以及海外投资者持续减持美债都有一定关系。短期诱因更多可能与上周美国主权信用评级遭遇 调降、特朗普税改法案在众议院预算委员会通过，极大加剧了市场对美国长期财政赤字扩张与债务压力 问题的担忧有关。 中诚信国际主权资深分析师王家璐告诉新京报贝壳财经记者，2025年美国财政融资需求维持在高位。高 存量美国国债和高预期供给已对市场形成前瞻性冲击，叠加投资者对美国中长期财政可持续性的担忧， 成为推动美债收益率上行的重要基础性因素。 对于美日两国长期限国债走弱，也有部分市场人士指出，当前美日央行维持相对偏紧的货币政策，两国 央行均在卖出国债，加剧了供需矛盾。同时目前美日两国通胀压力维持在高位，均高于美日央行目前的 合意区间。通胀压力导致两国央行均收紧其货币政策，持续在公开市场卖出国债。缺少央行购债的需求 支撑，加大了两国债市的脆弱性。 近日全球长期限债券利率普遍上行。截至当地时间5月21日，30年期美国国债收益率突破5%，触及2008 年以来的高点；30年期日债收益率向上触及2.98%，为2000年以来最高水平，4月以来上涨 ...

Group 1: Changes in Credit Rating Practices - Since the removal of mandatory ratings, the number of issuer ratings has increased significantly, with 2,787 issuer ratings in Q4 2023, a 64.81% year-on-year increase, surpassing the 2,744 bond products rated in the same period [1]. - In 2023, the total number of issuer ratings reached 10,707, which is on par with the number of bond ratings, indicating a shift in focus towards issuer assessments [1]. - The number of bonds rated without a bond rating has risen sharply, with 15,944 such bonds issued in 2024, accounting for 63.74% of the total, compared to 5,768 bonds (59.85%) in 2021 [4]. Group 2: Cost Implications for Issuers - Despite the removal of mandatory ratings, issuers have not seen a significant reduction in rating costs, as investors still require credit ratings for compliance purposes [2]. - Rating agencies have adjusted their fee structures, leading to higher overall costs for issuers, particularly for those with longer-term bonds that require annual issuer rating fees [7].
