Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The weakening domestic demand is reflected by the July manufacturing PMI falling short of expectations, and the correction in the commodity market pricing this week is favorable for the bond market, with yields of different maturities declining. The potential returns are considerable considering the downward space of 10 - 12bp for the 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bond yields and the duration [3][6]. - In terms of fundamentals and monetary policy, the demand side remains weak, and the short - term policy stimulus expectations are retreating.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Recent bond market fluctuations are mainly due to policy - related expectation changes. With the marginal easing of the "anti - involution" stance, the current bond market pressure has significantly eased [2][31]. - The adjustment of the bond VAT policy will push up the interest rate center of new bonds by 5 - 10BP, but the risk is relatively controllable. This policy adjustment does not affect the overall bond market trend, and the core logic of maintaining low interest rates to support the economy still holds. If there is no unexpected policy shock, the risk of a significant upward movement in interest rates is relatively limited. Coupled with the increased bond - allocation demand due to the reduction of the insurance predetermined interest rate, there are still opportunities in the bond market [2][31]. - In the short term, investors can focus on the gaming opportunities during the switch between new and old bonds after the VAT policy adjustment. In the medium - term, the fundamental performance and institutional demand determine that the bond market is generally in a positive trend. Investors can seize the opportunity to allocate assets at high points, but whether the yield can break through the previous low still depends on the monetary policy trends and fundamental data changes [3][31]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Redemption Mitigation and New Variables in Institutional Behavior 3.1.1 Improvement in Fund Redemption Pressure - Last week (7/21 - 7/25), due to multiple factors such as supply - demand policy efforts, positive stock market sentiment, and capital - market fluctuations, the bond market adjusted significantly, and funds faced redemption pressure, showing a net selling state for all bond types. However, this situation improved significantly this week (7/28 - 8/1) [15]. - This round of fund redemptions is characterized by "short - term, large - scale, and rapid" features. The single - week net selling of cash bonds by funds was large, second only to the level after September 24 last year. With the slowdown of the stock market rally and the stabilization of the bond market this week, funds have resumed net buying of cash bonds [15]. 3.1.2 New Variables in Institutional Behavior - **Insurance Predetermined Interest Rate Cut**: On July 25, the insurance industry association announced that the second - quarter predetermined interest rate research value was 1.99%, 25BP lower than the current interest rate ceiling for two consecutive quarters. Life insurance companies have lowered their product predetermined interest rate ceilings. In the short term, this will promote premium income growth to some extent, increasing insurance's bond - allocation demand. Recently, the demand for ultra - long - term treasury bonds by insurance companies has increased significantly, suppressing the significant upward movement of yields. In the long term, as the cost of the liability side decreases, the return requirements of insurance on the asset side will also decrease, further limiting the future callback space of 30Y treasury bonds [20][21]. - **Bond VAT Policy Adjustment**: Starting from August 8, 2025, the interest income of newly issued treasury bonds, local government bonds, and financial bonds will be subject to VAT, while the previously issued bonds will continue to be tax - exempt until maturity. From the perspective of institutional behavior, asset management institutions such as public funds still have tax advantages, which is beneficial for their phased expansion. For the bond market, a 5 - 10BP spread will occur between new and old bonds, and volatility may increase [25][27]. 3.1.3 Summary The bond market pressure has eased. The VAT policy adjustment will push up the interest rate center of new bonds, but the overall bond market trend remains unchanged. There are still opportunities in the bond market. In the short term, investors can focus on the gaming opportunities during the new - old bond switch and the opportunities in credit bonds. In the medium - term, the bond market is generally positive, but the yield breakthrough depends on policy and data [31]. 3.2 Institutional Bond Custody There is no detailed analysis content provided in the text, only relevant figure references are given [33][35]. 3.3 Institutional Fund Tracking 3.3.1 Fund Prices This week, the cross - month liquidity tightened.

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The discussion primarily revolves around the bond market and its relationship with inflation, interest rates, and macroeconomic policies in the context of the Chinese economy [1][2][3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Market Sentiment and Interest Rates** - Short-term market sentiment is influenced by the results of Sino-US negotiations, unexpected tightening of funds, and rising stock markets, which collectively exert pressure on interest rates [1][2][11]. - The bond market experienced poor performance in July due to rising interest rates and market volatility, driven by policy expectations and structural policies [2][8]. 2. **Inflation and Demand-Supply Dynamics** - The potential for inflation to rise due to anti-involution policies hinges on the demand side stabilizing and supply-side contraction, but the sustainability of demand remains uncertain [1][3][4][5]. - The Producer Price Index (PPI) typically influences interest rates, but if the increase is solely supply-driven without demand support, the impact on the bond market will be limited [6][7]. 3. **Future Monetary Policy Expectations** - There is uncertainty regarding the likelihood of interest rate cuts or monetary easing before the end of the year. Without such measures, interest rates may stagnate, reducing the attractiveness of bond investments and potentially shifting funds to the stock market [8][9]. - The central bank is expected to maintain a flexible monetary policy, with potential interest rate cuts anticipated in September or October rather than August [9]. 4. **Economic Indicators and Market Trends** - Seasonal fluctuations in exchange rates and the recent rise in the US dollar index are increasing depreciation pressure on the Chinese yuan, which could affect market dynamics [12]. - The bond market outlook remains optimistic despite short-term stock market fluctuations, with adjustments viewed as buying opportunities [13]. 5. **Geopolitical Factors** - The ongoing Sino-US trade discussions have provided temporary relief, but long-term uncertainties persist, which are reflected in both the bond and stock markets [11]. Other Important but Overlooked Content - The discussion highlights the need for a comprehensive analysis of the structure and duration of price increases, emphasizing that traditional industries are experiencing weak demand, which limits the ability of supply-side factors to drive overall price increases [5]. - The potential for asset scarcity is deepening, as evidenced by a decline in government bond financing year-on-year, indicating a challenging environment for investors [12].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In August, the bond market may reach its peak moment, becoming a decisive factor in the performance competition in the second half of the year. The opportunities in the first and middle ten - days of August may be greater, while the situation in the last ten - days needs further observation. With five major positive factors supporting, there is a 10 - 12bp downward space for the yields of 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds, and the potential returns are considerable when considering the duration [2][5]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. July Bond Market: "Unjust Disaster" - The bond market in July went against market expectations. The yields of 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds started at 1.64% and 1.85% respectively and rose to 1.75% and 2.00% by the end of the month, with an increase of 11bp and 15bp. The main reasons for the divergence between expectations and reality were the over - fermented risk appetite in the stock and commodity markets and the unexpected tightening of the capital market around the tax period [1][10]. - The bond market in July can be divided into three stages: a calm first ten - days, a turbulent middle ten - days, and a late ten - days when negative factors were released. In the late ten - days, affected by factors such as the start of a large - scale infrastructure project and the "anti - involution" trading, the bond market entered an irrational decline [11][12]. - In terms of various bond types, short - term bonds performed better than long - term bonds, and credit bonds outperformed interest - rate bonds. The yields of various bonds generally increased, and the 30 - year treasury bond had a single - month decline of 2.30%, making July the second - worst month for the bond market this year [15][16][18]. 2. Five Reasons to Be Bullish on the Bond Market in August 2.1. Do Not Underestimate the Change in the US Attitude on Tariff Issues - The result of the Sino - US tariff negotiation may become the main variable for asset pricing again. The US may use tariffs to seek benefits in investment or exports, which could damage global trade relations and create a negative atmosphere for Sino - US negotiations [2][21]. - In the new round of tariff negotiations, the US generally obtained favorable trade terms. This may make the US more aggressive in future Sino - US negotiations. If Sino - US relations deteriorate, it could suppress global and domestic risk preferences, which is beneficial to the bond market [22][24]. 2.2. The Fundamental Situation Weakens Marginally, but the Expectation of Policy Stimulus Retreats - The July PMI data showed that the manufacturing PMI was 49.3%, lower than the expected 49.7%. The new orders and production in the manufacturing industry declined, indicating weak demand. The large - scale net purchase of bills by major banks in July and the decline of bill interest rates to near zero may also suggest weak loan demand [25][26]. - The Politburo meeting at the end of July gave an optimistic assessment of the first - half economy, which may make it difficult to introduce short - term "stable growth" policies. If the economic data in the third quarter fluctuates, there may be a time lag before stimulus policies are introduced, which could lead to a decline in risk preferences and be beneficial to the bond market [29]. 2.3. The Suppression of Risk Appetite Caused by "Anti - Involution" Trading Weakens - From July 1st to 25th, affected by "anti - involution" trading, the futures prices of key commodities such as coking coal, coke, and polysilicon increased significantly, and the extreme risk preferences in the market were rapidly boosted, which was the main reason for the sharp adjustment of the bond market [30]. - To suppress speculation, commodity exchanges issued relevant policies at the end of July. The first stage of the general rise in the commodity market may have passed, and the over - risen commodities have entered the price correction stage. The market risk preference has returned to rationality, reducing the resistance to the rise of the bond market [31][32]. 2.4. In Terms of Liquidity, August May Be the Low Point of the Annual Capital Interest Rate - Generally, the capital interest rate in August does not increase significantly compared with July. The natural capital gap in August is not large. Although the net issuance of government bonds may increase, it is offset by the lower tax payment. The MLF maturity scale in August is 3000 billion yuan, and the maturity pressure of repurchase agreements has eased, which is conducive to maintaining a neutral and loose capital interest rate [34][35]. - Historically, the R001 and R007 in August can generally remain stable, and the increase in the capital interest rate usually occurs before the end of the month. After August, the capital interest rate may fluctuate due to factors such as the quarter - end pressure in September and uncertainties in the fourth quarter. Therefore, August may be the low point of the annual capital interest rate [36][37]. 2.5. Pay Attention to the Return of Redeemed Funds and the New Premiums of Insurance "Cost - Reduction" - In July, the continuous redemption of public bond funds by institutions amplified the adjustment of the bond market. However, the redemption pressure may only be within the "institution - fund" circle and has not spread outward. The liability of wealth management products and banks remained stable. For example, wealth management products continued to increase their holdings of certificates of deposit in July [46][49][50]. - If the redeemed funds of funds remain in the inter - bank market, they may flow back to the trading market as the bond market recovers in August, which could push the interest rate down. In addition, due to the adjustment of the insurance product interest rate, the yields of ultra - long - term local bonds and ultra - long - term treasury bonds have risen to around or above the "new cost line" of life insurance, and the ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds may experience an excessive decline in August [50][55][57]. 3. The Bond Market in August May Reach Its Peak Moment: Grasping the Rhythm Is Key - With five major positive factors, the bond market in August may reach its peak moment. The opportunities in the first and middle ten - days of August are greater, while the situation in the late ten - days needs further observation. From the end of July to the beginning of August, although the bond market entered the recovery stage, institutions were still cautious about the duration [5][59]. - It is recommended to extend the duration as much as possible with active individual bonds within the acceptable risk range. The bond interest tax - payment new rule announced by the Ministry of Finance on August 1st may affect the pricing of treasury bonds, local bonds, and financial bonds in three stages, but it is not a negative factor for the bond market [59][63].
