1. Report Industry Investment Rating Not mentioned in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the contraction cycle, the cost - performance ratio of stocks to bonds is trending towards bonds, and the equity style is trending towards value. Currently, long - term bonds have a slightly better cost - performance ratio than value - type equity assets. If equity - type value assets continue to decline, there may be a good entry window. This week, the report recommends the Dividend Index (40% position), the Shanghai Composite 50 Index (40% position), and the 30 - year Treasury Bond ETF (20% position) [6][22]. - The Chinese economy is in a state of marginal balance sheet contraction. The liability growth rate of the real - sector and the government sector is expected to decline. The asset - side physical quantity data weakened in April, and it is necessary to focus on the duration of this economic marginal weakening [16][18]. - The US economic situation is similar to that during the bursting of the Internet bubble in 2001. It is necessary to focus on whether and when the quarterly real GDP year - on - year growth rate in the US will fall below the trend level [6][22]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 National Balance Sheet Analysis - **Liability Side** - In April 2025, the liability growth rate of the real sector was 9.0%, up from 8.7%. It is expected to stabilize around 9.0% in May and then return to balance sheet contraction. By the end of the year, it is expected to drop to around 8% [16]. - Last week, the net reduction of government bonds was 295 billion yuan, significantly lower than the planned net increase of 137.4 billion yuan. This week, the planned net increase is 128.3 billion yuan. The government liability growth rate at the end of April 2025 was 14.8%, up from 13.9%. It is expected to stabilize around 14.8% in May and then decline, reaching around 12.5% by the end of the year [17]. - The money market tightened marginally last week. The one - year Treasury bond yield was around 1.46% at the weekend. The lower limit of the one - year Treasury bond yield is estimated to be around 1.3%, the lower limit of the ten - year Treasury bond yield is around 1.7%, and the lower limit of the thirty - year Treasury bond yield is around 1.9% [2][17]. - **Asset Side** - The physical quantity data in April was weaker than that in March. The full - year real economic growth target in 2025 is around 5%, and the nominal economic growth target is around 4.9%. It is necessary to observe whether 5% will become the central target for China's nominal economic growth in the next 1 - 2 years [3][18]. 3.2 Stock - Bond Cost - Performance Ratio and Stock - Bond Style - Last week, the money market tightened marginally, stocks fell while bonds were flat, and the style shifted to growth dominance. The cost - performance ratio of stocks to bonds shifted towards bonds. The ten - year Treasury bond yield decreased by 5 basis points to 1.67%, the one - year Treasury bond yield increased by 1 basis point to 1.46%, and the 30 - year Treasury bond yield increased by 1 basis point to 1.90% [5]. - Since the two sessions in 2025, the balance sheet of the real and government sectors is expected to return to contraction after reaching a high in April - May. The cost - performance ratio of stocks to bonds will trend towards bonds in the contraction cycle, and the equity style will trend towards value [6][22]. 3.3 Industry Recommendation - **Industry Performance Review** - This week, the A - share market declined with shrinking trading volume. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.03%, the Shenzhen Component Index fell 0.91%, and the ChiNext Index fell 1.4%. Among the Shenwan primary industries, environmental protection, pharmaceutical biology, national defense and military industry, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and computer had the largest increases, while automobile, power equipment, non - ferrous metals, comprehensive, and food and beverage had the largest declines [29]. - **Industry Crowding and Trading Volume** - As of May 30, the top five crowded industries were pharmaceutical biology, computer, electronics, mechanical equipment, and automobile, while the bottom five were comprehensive, coal, steel, petroleum and petrochemical, and social services. - The top five industries with the largest increase in crowding this week were computer, pharmaceutical biology, environmental protection, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and national defense and military industry, while the top five with the largest decrease were automobile, non - ferrous metals, electronics, power equipment, and household appliances. - The daily average trading volume of the whole A - share market decreased from 1.17 trillion yuan last week to 1.09 trillion yuan this week. Environmental protection, computer, power equipment, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical biology had the highest year - on - year growth rates in trading volume [32][33]. - **Industry Valuation and Profit** - This week, among the Shenwan primary industries, environmental protection, pharmaceutical biology, national defense and military industry, media, and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery had the largest increases in PE(TTM), while automobile, power equipment, non - ferrous metals, comprehensive, and food and beverage had the largest declines. - As of May 30, 2025, industries with high full - year profit forecasts in 2024 and relatively low current valuations compared to history include petroleum and petrochemical, non - ferrous metals, transportation, pharmaceutical biology, and consumer electronics [36][37]. - **Industry Prosperity** - In terms of external demand, there were mixed trends. The global manufacturing PMI fell from 50.3 in April to 49.8, and most of the disclosed PMIs of major economies in May rebounded. The CCFI index rose 0.92% week - on - week. South Korea's export growth rate rose to 3.7% in April and then fell to - 1.3% in May, while Vietnam's export growth rate rose from 13.2% in March to 21% in April. - In terms of domestic demand, the second - hand housing price fell last week, and the quantitative indicators showed mixed trends. The highway truck traffic volume declined. The capacity utilization rate of ten industries in March rose to a relatively high level, fell significantly in April, and rebounded slightly in May. The automobile trading volume was at a relatively high level in the same period of history, new - house sales were at a historical low, and second - hand house sales were still at a high level compared to the historical seasonality [41]. - **Public Fund Market Review** - In the fourth week of May (May 26 - 30), most active public equity funds outperformed the CSI 300. As of May 30, the net asset value of active public equity funds was 3.4 trillion yuan, slightly lower than 3.66 trillion yuan in Q4 2024 [57]. - **Industry Recommendation** - In the contraction cycle, the cost - performance ratio of stocks to bonds is only slightly favorable to equities, and the value style is more likely to dominate. The recommended A + H dividend portfolio includes 20 A + H stocks, and the A - share portfolio includes 20 A - shares, mainly concentrated in industries such as banking, telecommunications, petroleum and petrochemical, and transportation [7][63].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Report's Core View - In the context of asset allocation, April is expected to mark the peak of the debt growth rates of the government and the real - sector in the year, with the balance sheet shrinking resuming in May. Considering the trend of the stock - bond cost - performance favoring bonds during the balance - sheet shrinking cycle and the 10 - year bond yield rising above the lower limit (1.7%) of the predicted range, the trading value of bonds is emerging. The position of the convertible bond broad - based portfolio will remain at 70% next week, with an 8:2 ratio of low - price (pure - bond substitution) to double - low bonds, all allocated to value - type targets [4]. - High - rated convertible bonds are currently more cost - effective. The reasons include the scarcity of alternative high - quality assets, the continuous low valuation of high - rated convertible bonds, the un - recovered concerns about credit risks in the convertible bond market, the relatively good performance of the value sector after interest rate cuts, the central bank's support for the banking system, the high - rated convertible bonds being the core allocation of fixed - income + products, and the preference of social security and insurance funds for high - rated convertible bonds [6]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Stock and Bond, Convertible Bond Market Review - The equity market fluctuated and declined last week, with the performance of large and small - cap stocks diverging and hotspots rotating rapidly. Micro - cap stocks hit a record high at the beginning of the week, and merger - acquisition and ST stocks were strong. Funds may have temporarily supported low - level consumer stocks, with large - consumer sectors such as food, beauty, and pets strengthening at the beginning of the week due to economic data but leading the decline at the weekend. From the middle of the week, small and medium - cap stocks weakened, while heavy - weight stocks, especially banks and insurance, strengthened against the trend. Trump's "Most - Favored - Nation Drug Price" proposal led to the strong performance of innovative drugs throughout the week. The potential escalation of the Israel - Palestine conflict caused a significant increase in the gold price, breaking through $3345 per ounce at the highest, and precious - metal stocks led the gains. The Hong Kong stock market performed strongly, with overseas funds optimistic about the cost - performance of Chinese assets, especially Hong Kong stocks, and CATL rising 16% on its first listing day. The A - bond market fluctuated, affected by factors such as large banks' deposit - rate cuts, the implementation of the central bank's LPR cut, the intensive issuance of treasury bonds, and the weakening of the equity market. Overseas, the US stock, bond, and foreign - exchange markets suffered a triple - kill due to factors such as the downgrade of the US sovereign credit rating, Trump's fiscal - spending bill, and tariff - policy uncertainties. The US dollar index fell below 100 and oscillated narrowly at a low level, and the 30 - year US Treasury yield exceeded 5% [2]. - Convertible bonds performed significantly better than underlying stocks last week, supported by valuation. The median price of the entire convertible - bond market oscillated slightly around 120 yuan, and the conversion value declined slightly. The conversion premium rate closed at 31.2% (64% in historical percentile), the implied volatility remained stable at 26.4% (50% in historical percentile), and the median implied - volatility difference remained at - 19% (23% in historical percentile). Some industry convertible bonds saw an active increase in valuation, and even the convertible bonds rose while the underlying stocks fell, such as those in the banking, food, mining, pharmaceutical, and textile - clothing industries, mainly concentrated in low - price and inert convertible bonds, indicating that the market continues to value the bond - floor protection of convertible bonds rather than their elasticity. In terms of market sentiment, the average daily trading volume last week was 5.28 billion yuan, a 9% decline from the previous week. The trading of traditional speculative bonds such as newly - issued bonds, low - rated convertible bonds, and high - price - high - premium convertible bonds remained sluggish. Recently, the convertible - bond valuation has declined from a high level, opening up some space for bond selection. Although inert convertible bonds with valuations to be adjusted still account for the largest proportion overall, there are more double - low and equity - type convertible bonds with good elasticity in industries such as banking, electrical appliances, agriculture, non - ferrous metals, and automobiles [3]. Market Outlook and Strategy Recommendation - From the perspective of large - scale asset allocation, April is expected to mark the peak of the debt growth rates of the government and the real - sector in the year, and the balance sheet will shrink again in May. Considering that the stock - bond cost - performance trend favors bonds during the balance - sheet shrinking cycle and the 10 - year bond yield has risen above the lower limit (1.7%) of the predicted range, the trading value of bonds has begun to emerge. Next week, the position of the convertible - bond broad - based portfolio will remain at 70%, with an 8:2 ratio of low - price (pure - bond substitution) to double - low bonds, all allocated to value - type targets. The convertible - bond broad - based portfolio outperformed the CSI Convertible Bond Index by 0.04 percentage points last week. Since its establishment in July 2024, the convertible - bond broad - based portfolio has outperformed the CSI Convertible Bond Index by 16.16 percentage points in cumulative terms, with a maximum drawdown of 7.7% (compared to 7.5% for the CSI Convertible Bond Index during the same period) [4][5].

Group 1: SRF Adjustments - The existence of the SRF is aimed at supporting effective monetary policy and promoting market stability, reflecting the Federal Reserve's understanding of the current market environment and potential risks [3]. - The New York Fed will extend SRF operations from only the afternoon to include morning sessions, completing settlements on the same day, which is a significant step to enhance SRF effectiveness [3][4]. - This adjustment is expected to improve the efficiency of SRF usage and provide more flexibility for the Federal Reserve during the balance sheet normalization process [3][4]. Group 2: Market Implications - The adjustment of SRF operations may impact short-term interest rates, as the Federal Reserve aims to manage market liquidity and avoid significant rate fluctuations [4]. - The Federal Reserve's strategy to enhance SRF efficiency is intended to reduce reliance on its balance sheet while maintaining market stability during the normalization process [4]. - The effectiveness of these strategies will depend on market acceptance of SRF and the Federal Reserve's ability to manage market liquidity [4]. Group 3: Challenges Ahead - The Federal Reserve faces challenges in the balance sheet normalization process, with indications that money market liquidity may be tightening [3]. - As the Federal Reserve reduces reserves, upward pressure on money market rates may increase, posing greater challenges for financial institutions' asset-liability management and overall market stability [3]. - The focus will be on how the Federal Reserve balances market stability with the normalization of its balance sheet in the coming period [4].

The stock - bond ratio continues to favor stocks, but in the de - leveraging cycle, the trading value of both stocks and bonds is currently limited. If the yield of the 10 - year Treasury bond rises above 1.7%, the trading value of bonds may gradually emerge [6][22]. - In the de - leveraging cycle, the probability of value - based stocks outperforming is higher. The recommended A + H dividend portfolio and A - share portfolio mainly focus on industries such as banking, telecommunications, petroleum and petrochemicals, and transportation [8][9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 National Balance Sheet Analysis Liability Side - In March 2025, the real - sector's liability growth rate was 8.7% (previous value: 8.4%), expected to rebound slightly to around 9.0% in April, reach an annual high, and then decline steadily in May and return to de - leveraging.
