Core Viewpoint - The "anti-involution" policy has led to a stronger risk appetite in the equity market and a rapid increase in commodity prices, resulting in rising inflation expectations. This, combined with the US-China tariff disputes and concerns over potential incremental policies from the political bureau meeting at the end of July, has created multiple headwinds for the bond market, particularly long-term interest rate bonds, which have seen rising yields and falling prices, causing significant net value drawdowns in bond funds [1][2]. Summary by Sections Market Conditions - The manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for July was 49.3%, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the previous month, indicating a decline in manufacturing sentiment, suggesting that the fundamentals have not yet shown signs of reversal [1]. Bond Market Analysis - Since the "anti-involution" policy began, the yield on 10-year government bonds has risen from 1.66% to 1.75%, a nearly 10 basis point increase. This adjustment reflects the current market's pricing of strong expectations and the likelihood of no interest rate cuts in the third quarter [2][4]. - The central bank's provision of liquidity has acted as a stabilizer, indicating that the monetary policy stance remains unchanged, which enhances the value of carry trades in the bond market [2].

The monetary policy report from the previous quarter sets the tone for the upcoming quarter, indicating that the bond market lacks a basis for a turnaround [4]. - Identifying key yield anchors for bonds, such as the 10-year government bond yield, is crucial. The difference between the 10-year yield and the DR007 has reached a high of 28 basis points, suggesting a solid safety margin for the current yield [5]. Long-term Outlook - The overall trend for yield is downward, but the rate of decline is expected to slow, with increasing competition in the long-term interest rate bond market. Fund managers should focus on enhancing their predictive and responsive capabilities amid narrow fluctuations to increase returns through tactical trading [8].
