1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no mention of the industry investment rating in the provided report. 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - This week (March 9 - March 13), credit bond yields declined, but the repair amplitude was smaller than that of interest - rate bonds, and credit spreads widened passively. The February inflation and January - February import and export data released this week disturbed market expectations. Due to the rebound in February CPI and January - February import and export data, market concerns about inflation pressure increased, and bond market sentiment weakened temporarily. Meanwhile, the overall capital environment was stable, the fluctuation of money market interest rates was limited, which provided a certain buffer for the bond market. The equity market is still in a volatile range, and the overall risk preference has not changed much, so its impact on the bond market is relatively limited [2][11]. - Currently, the yield curve forms a relatively obvious convex point around the 4 - year term. Institutions with relatively stable liability ends can pay attention to the riding value of 4 - year bonds. In the scenario where the yield curve rises by 20BP, 4 - year AA - rated medium - short notes, 4 - year AA and AA(2) - rated urban investment bonds, and 4 - year AAA - and AA + - rated bank perpetual bonds are expected to maintain positive returns or only have small drawdowns during the holding period, with relatively strong anti - volatility ability. For 7 - year urban investment bonds, caution should be exercised, and for 7 - year secondary perpetual bonds, allocation - type funds can choose the opportunity to layout after market adjustments [13][14]. - The issuance of secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds has obvious seasonal characteristics. Although there is still a high maturity and redemption scale of secondary perpetual bonds this year, and the renewal demand still exists, in the context of the continuous expansion of capital replenishment channels, commercial banks' dependence on secondary perpetual bonds has decreased, and the overall future supply scale may decline [17][18]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1. Focus on Convex Point Riding, and the Supply of Secondary Perpetual Bonds May Decline - Market situation: This week, credit bond yields declined, but the repair amplitude was smaller than that of interest - rate bonds, and credit spreads widened passively. The February inflation and January - February import and export data disturbed market expectations, and bond market sentiment weakened temporarily. The equity market was in a volatile range, and its impact on the bond market was relatively limited [2][11]. - Investment strategy: The current yield curve forms a convex point around the 4 - year term. In the case of a 3 - month holding period and the curve shape remaining unchanged, the holding - period returns of 4 - year bonds are generally higher than those of 5 - year bonds of the same rating. Institutions with relatively stable liability ends can pay attention to their riding value. In the scenario where the yield curve rises by 20BP, 4 - year AA - rated medium - short notes, 4 - year AA and AA(2) - rated urban investment bonds, and 4 - year AAA - and AA + - rated bank perpetual bonds have relatively strong anti - volatility ability. For 7 - year urban investment bonds, caution should be exercised, and for 7 - year secondary perpetual bonds, allocation - type funds can choose the opportunity to layout after market adjustments [13][14]. - Supply situation: The issuance of secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds has obvious seasonal characteristics. This year, secondary perpetual bonds are still in a peak maturity stage, with an expected annual maturity and redemption scale of about 1.18 trillion yuan, and banks still have a certain renewal demand. However, in the long - term, the net financing scale of secondary perpetual bonds has been declining in recent years. With the diversification of bank capital replenishment channels, the dependence of commercial banks on secondary perpetual bonds has decreased, and the future supply scale may decline [17][18]. 3.2. Review of the Quantity and Price of Inter - bank Liquidity - This week (March 9 - March 13), the volume of the inter - bank pledged repurchase market decreased and the price increased.

Report Summary 1. Report's Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Last week, long - term bonds fluctuated upwards, and the yield curve became steeper. The bond market was strong in the first half of the week due to factors such as the US - Iran conflict, stock market volatility, loose liquidity at the beginning of the month, and weak PMI data in February. However, it weakened in the second half due to the government work report, profit - taking, stock market rebound, and unfulfilled expectations of interest rate and reserve requirement ratio cuts [3]. - This week, the bond market will remain in a volatile pattern, and the yield curve is expected to continue to be steep. Inflation concerns may increase, but the impact of inflation expectations on the bond market may be limited. Long - term bond yields are likely to remain weakly volatile, while short - term yields will be supported by loose liquidity [3]. 3. Summary by Directory a.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current 10Y - 1Y and 30Y - 10Y spreads are continuously widening, reaching a ten - year high. The report analyzes the driving mechanisms and characteristics of these two key spreads, revealing the differences in dominant forces and structural change trends of different term spreads [1]. - In 2026, the steepening of the yield curve will continue, and the 10Y - 1Y and 30Y - 10Y spreads will generally widen marginally. The 10Y - 1Y spread will be steepened by monetary easing and may widen, while the 30Y - 10Y spread will be repaired by supply and rise in an oscillatory manner [3][4]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 10Y - 1Y Spread: Short - end Dominant, Long - end Amplifying - **Driving Factors: Policy Anchor, Growth Expectation, and Supply - demand Structure** - The 10Y - 1Y spread reflects the relative changes among short - term policy interest rates, medium - and long - term growth and inflation, and bond supply - demand structure. Short - term interest rates are more sensitive to monetary policy and the money market, while long - term interest rates reflect future growth trends, inflation expectations, and economic cycle changes. Bond supply - demand structure differences and investor behavior also affect the spread [9]. - **Pricing Logic: A Stable Negative Dynamic Equilibrium Relationship between 1Y and 10Y - 1Y** - Short - term interest rates determine the core direction of the 10Y - 1Y spread. After removing the influence of interest rate central migration, the 1 - year Treasury yield and the spread show a clear negative correlation. Long - term interest rates have a limited and unstable impact on the 10Y - 1Y spread [10][13]. - **Periodic Deviation: Structural Disturbance under Short - end Dominance** - The short - term interest rate and the 10Y - 1Y spread generally show a strong negative correlation, but there are also periodic changes in their correlation during the interest rate central switching stage. The 1 - year yield dominates the spread direction, and the negative correlation between the spread and the 1 - year yield may deviate or weaken in the short term. The correlation between the spread and the 10 - year Treasury yield is weak [17]. 3.2 30Y - 10Y Spread: The Dominance Shifting to the Ultra - long End, Spread Repricing - **Driving Factors of the 30Y - 10Y Spread: Differentiation in Supply - demand, Expectation, and Term Sensitivity** - The 30Y - 10Y spread reflects the differences in supply - demand structure, long - term expectations, and policy sensitivity between long - term and medium - long - term Treasuries. Its core drivers include supply - demand structure differences, differences in long - term economic growth and inflation expectations, and the impact of policy uncertainty and term sensitivity differences [25]. - **Core Pricing Logic: The Ultra - long End is Becoming the Dominant Force of the Spread** - The correlation between the 10 - year Treasury yield and the 30Y - 10Y spread is generally weak. The 30 - year Treasury yield has a more stable positive linkage with the spread, indicating that the ultra - long - end interest rate is playing an increasingly prominent role in driving the 30Y - 10Y spread [26][27]. - **Stage Switching: Multiple Combination Forms of Interest Rate Central Changes** - The pricing center of the 30Y - 10Y spread is gradually shifting to the ultra - long end. In different macro - economic and policy environments, the spread may show multiple combination forms, and the mid - term trend shows that the ultra - long end is gradually becoming the core anchor of spread pricing [34][43]. 3.3 Outlook: The Steepening of the Curve Continues, and the Double Spreads Widen - **10Y - 1Y Spread: Steepened by Easing, May Widen** - In the first half of 2026, the 10Y - 1Y spread may widen. The strengthening of the interest rate cut expectation will lower the short - term interest rate, and the front - loaded fiscal policy will increase the supply pressure, with the long - term pressure being higher [44][45]. - **30Y - 10Y Spread: Repaired by Supply, Rise in an Oscillatory Manner** - In 2026, the supply premium will replace the liquidity premium as the dominant factor of the 30Y - 10Y spread.
