1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Report's Core Viewpoints - The issuance rhythm of local government bonds has shifted from being concentrated in the second and third quarters to a more balanced distribution throughout the year. Since 2019, especially after 2020, the issuance scale in the first and fourth quarters has significantly increased due to policies emphasizing "front - loaded efforts" and "balanced issuance" [2]. - The issuance scale of local government bonds is constrained by the issuance quota. The estimated early - batch quota for 2026 is about 3.12 trillion yuan, calculated based on the 2025 local debt new quota and the proportion of pre - allocated new quotas in previous years [2]. - The gap in local government debt quota scale between different regions has widened. Developed regions have more high - quality projects that can generate stable cash flows, enabling them to issue more special bonds, while less - developed regions lack such projects [2]. - The issuance of refinancing bonds has been significantly advanced, and the peak issuance of new bonds has shifted from the second quarter to the third quarter [2]. - The pricing logic of local bonds has changed from "seasonal supply - demand dominance" to "asset shortage and policy expectation drive". After the approval of the 6 - trillion debt replacement quota in 2024, the spread of general bonds generally narrowed, while that of special bonds widened [2][3]. - There is a structural differentiation in local bond spreads, and the risk premium of special bonds has gradually emerged [3]. 3.

The gap in debt quota scale between different regions widened [2]. 3.3 Local Bond Pricing Logic - From 2022 - 2023, the pricing logic of the local bond market was "seasonal supply - demand dominance", with clear seasonal fluctuations in spreads. In 2024 Q4, it changed to "asset shortage and policy expectation drive", with the fourth - quarter spread not rising but falling and regional spreads converging [2][3]. - After the approval of the 6 - trillion debt replacement quota in 2024, the spread of general bonds generally narrowed, while that of special bonds widened. The spread of special bonds in economically developed provinces with large issuance scales increased less, while that in regions with high debt pressure increased significantly [3]. 3.4 Local Bond Spread Differentiation - From 2024 Q3 to 2025 Q1, the spread between general bonds and special bonds showed a structural change.

Core Viewpoint - The credit spread in the bond market has remained low and volatile throughout the year, with expectations that it will continue to stay at low levels until 2026, barring significant credit risk events [1][3]. Credit Spread Dynamics - As of November 18, the interbank credit bond market showed slight fluctuations in yields, with AAA-rated 3-month notes rising by 1 basis point to 1.61%, while 3-year yields fell by 1 basis point to 1.86%, and 5-year yields remained stable around 1.99% [2]. - The low credit spread is attributed to a relatively abundant market liquidity due to central bank policies, stable demand for credit bonds, and improving corporate profitability, which has reduced the market's risk premium requirements [3].

Recommendations for Credit Bond Investments - Investment focus should be on 3 to 5-year high-grade credit bonds and 4 to 5-year subordinated bonds, while being cautious with ultra-long credit bonds [6][7]. - High-grade credit bonds are supported by incremental funds from amortized cost bond funds, which have shifted from interest rate bonds to credit bonds since September 2025 [6]. - Subordinated bonds present a trading opportunity due to their recent underperformance compared to high-grade bonds, with a spread of approximately 20 basis points [7]. - Quality urban investment and industrial bonds, particularly those with around 2-year maturities, are suitable for investors seeking stable coupon income [7]. - Caution is advised for ultra-long credit bonds due to limited further yield decline potential and signs of reduced institutional demand [7].

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The discussion revolves around the financial industry, particularly focusing on the impact of "anti-involution" policies on interest rates and the bond market [1][5][11]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Interest Rate Trends** - Current fundamentals and liquidity conditions support a downward trend in interest rates, despite banks reducing long-term bond holdings due to pressure from performance indicators and profit realization needs [1][2][11]. - The average deposit cost for listed banks is expected to decrease by another 13 basis points by the end of next year, alleviating net interest margin pressure [1][7]. 2. **Impact of Anti-Involution Policies** - The anti-involution policy aims to slow the rapid decline of loan rates while accelerating the decrease in deposit burdens. However, this may lead to insufficient financing demand and a reduction in loan volumes [5][6]. - The policy is expected to focus on optimizing resource allocation within the financial system rather than significantly altering the current credit issuance landscape [8]. 3. **Asset-Liability Dynamics** - A decrease in corporate deposits is causing a slowdown in asset-liability growth, potentially exacerbating the "asset shortage" phenomenon. While household deposits are increasing, the lack of investment channels further intensifies this issue [9][10]. - The financial system's reliance on household savings rather than loan-derived credit makes it challenging to implement balance sheet reductions effectively [8]. 4. **Market Conditions and Predictions** - The bond market remains volatile, with 10-year and 30-year treasury yields showing little change. However, a downward trend in rates is anticipated due to weakening fundamentals and a contraction in both investment and consumption growth [3][12]. - By year-end, the 10-year treasury yield is expected to recover to a range of 1.6% to 1.65% [3][13]. 5. **Investor Recommendations** - Investors are advised to adopt a barbell strategy, focusing on long-term aggressive instruments such as 30-year treasuries and bonds with maturities of 5 to 10 years [3][13]. Other Important Insights - The reduction in deposit rates is not expected to lead to significant outflows from the banking system, as broader interest rates are also declining, and banks maintain their settlement functions [10]. - The overall market is anticipated to experience a smoother downward trend in interest rates as funding supply slows, further intensifying the asset shortage [12].
