特朗普在高调宣扬美国实力逼中国让步之际，人民币国际化正悄然迈出关键一步，而西芒杜铁矿的投产正在静悄悄改变着中美实力对比的底层逻辑。 "我们和中国关系很好，但那是因为他们知道我强硬。 "特朗普在最近接受美媒采访时，再次展现了他标志性的自信。 他骄傲地认为，中国之所以愿意在贸 易谈判中达成协议，完全是因为美国实力太强，中国不敢招惹美国。 就在特朗普吹嘘美国实力的同一天，国际航空运输协会宣布正式将人民币纳入其清算所结算货币体系。 这一决定看似与经济无关，却深刻影响着中美实力 对比的底层逻辑。 特朗普的自信言论很快遭到了事实的打脸。 就在他夸耀"中国怕美国"的同时，美国政府却悄悄撤销了多项对华限制措施。 特朗普在福克斯新闻的采访中详细阐述了他的逻辑：美国的强大实力体现在两个方面，一是关税手段，二是军事实力。 他声称，正是这两大支柱让中国不 得不妥协。 但现实情况却大相径庭。 截至11月9日，美国政府已经停摆40多天，公共服务陷入瘫痪，甚至驻外军人的工资都需要盟友垫付。 这种国内困境迫使特朗普急 需一个"外交突破口"来转移视线。 与特朗普的"口头强国"形成鲜明对比的是，中国正在扎实推进人民币国际化进程。 11月5日，国 ...

Core Viewpoint - The London Metal Exchange (LME) has decided to stop all non-USD settled futures trading, effectively sidelining currencies like the RMB and Euro, which reflects a deeper political maneuver to maintain USD dominance in global markets [3][5][9]. Group 1: Impact on Currencies - The LME's decision primarily affects non-USD currencies, particularly the RMB and Euro, reinforcing the USD's position in international trade [5][9]. - This move is seen as a defense of USD hegemony amid a global trend towards "de-dollarization," with China pushing for greater international pricing power for the RMB [7][13]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - By excluding non-USD transactions, the LME risks driving trading volume away to other markets, such as the Shanghai Futures Exchange, which allows RMB pricing [11][19]. - The LME's actions may inadvertently accelerate the RMB's push towards financial autonomy and increase its presence in global commodity pricing [13][21]. Group 3: Future Outlook - In the short term, the RMB may face challenges in international metal trading, but this could stimulate a shift towards platforms that are more accommodating to RMB transactions [17][19]. - The LME's authority and relevance in the global market may decline as the trend of de-dollarization continues, potentially leading to a loss of market share to Asian exchanges [19][21].

Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints The report explores investment opportunities in the Hong Kong bond market under the expansion of the "Southbound Connect." It analyzes the market conditions of Chinese dollar-denominated bonds and Dim Sum bonds, and points out potential investment opportunities based on factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, and credit risks [2]. Summary by Directory I. Bond "Southbound Connect" Introduction - Launched on September 24, 2021, it allows domestic investors to invest in bonds traded in the Hong Kong bond market through a connected mechanism [9]. - Initially, it only supported spot bond trading and later gradually introduced repo trading. In 2025, measures were announced to expand trading currencies and extend trading hours [10]. - Regulatory authorities have defined the current participants and trading counterparties. The scope of participants is expected to expand to include non-bank institutions such as securities firms, insurance companies, and asset management companies [11]. II. "Southbound Connect" Investment Target Situation Hong Kong Bond Market Situation - The Hong Kong bond market consists of three main segments: Hong Kong dollar, offshore RMB, and G3 currency markets. As of the end of 2024, the outstanding amounts of Hong Kong dollar bonds, offshore RMB bonds, and G3 currency bonds were 195.5 billion, 173.2 billion, and 565.6 billion US dollars respectively, with G3 currency bonds dominating the market [24]. - From 2015 to 2024, the total size of the Hong Kong bond market showed a significant upward trend, reaching HK$2.83 trillion in 2024. The Exchange Fund and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government are the cornerstones of the market, and overseas issuers and local statutory bodies have also contributed to its growth [26]. Hong Kong Chinese Dollar-Denominated Bond Market Status - Affected by factors such as the US dollar interest rate hike, rising overseas financing costs, and changes in the credit environment, the issuance volume of Chinese dollar-denominated bonds in Hong Kong has declined significantly since 2022, with negative net financing in the past three years [32]. - As of October 30, 2025, the outstanding amount of Chinese dollar-denominated bonds traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and CMU was 361.5 billion US dollars, with 1,180 bonds. They are mainly concentrated in industries such as finance and energy, with coupon rates mostly between 3% - 5% and maturities mostly over 3 years [37][40]. Dim Sum Bond Market Status - The issuance volume and net financing of Dim Sum bonds have increased significantly since 2022, reflecting the promotion of RMB internationalization and the expansion of the "Southbound Connect" [43]. - As of October 29, 2025, the outstanding amount of Dim Sum bonds traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and CMU was 1.5666 trillion RMB, with 1,266 bonds. They are mainly concentrated in industries such as finance, real estate, and consumption, with coupon rates mostly between 3% - 5% and maturities mostly between 1 - 3 years [48][50]. III. Investment Opportunities in Chinese Dollar-Denominated Bonds - The benchmark interest rate for Chinese dollar-denominated bonds is US Treasury bonds. In the first three quarters of 2025, US Treasury bond yields fluctuated and declined in the third quarter. It is expected to remain volatile at a low level in the future [55]. - Investment-grade Chinese dollar-denominated bonds have declined with US Treasury bonds this year, and the spread has narrowed to a low level since 2024. High-yield bonds have fluctuated, and the spread is at a high percentile [57]. - Due to the continuous advancement of debt resolution policies, the spread of overseas Chinese dollar-denominated urban investment bonds has significantly compressed since mid-2024 [59]. - The spread of real estate Chinese dollar-denominated bonds has shown significant differentiation. The spread of investment-grade bonds has continued to compress, while that of non-investment-grade bonds has fluctuated at a high level [63]. - In terms of exchange rates, the US dollar has depreciated against the RMB in 2025, and the narrowing of the discount has reduced the exchange rate hedging cost, increasing the allocation value of Chinese dollar-denominated bonds [66]. - From a credit perspective, the number of defaults or extensions of local state-owned enterprises and central enterprises has decreased, and the investment strategy can focus on bonds of central and state-owned enterprises with large onshore-offshore spreads [67]. IV. Investment Opportunities in Dim Sum Bonds - The benchmark interest rate for Dim Sum bonds is offshore RMB sovereign bonds. This year, Dim Sum bonds have outperformed onshore bonds, and the spread has narrowed to about 50bp [69]. - On the supply side, due to the financing cost advantage and policy support, the issuance of Dim Sum bonds has increased in recent years, and the product structure is expected to become more diverse [71]. - On the demand side, the expansion of the "Southbound Connect" has broadened cross-border investment channels, and the strong demand of domestic institutions for overseas investment is beneficial to the secondary market performance of Dim Sum bonds. Some Dim Sum bonds still have relatively high spreads compared to onshore bonds, offering good value [71].
