Core Viewpoint - The likelihood of Poland's interest rates remaining unchanged in November is higher than the possibility of a decrease [1] Group 1 - The statement indicates a cautious approach towards monetary policy in Poland, suggesting stability in interest rates [1]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Macro: On October 9th, some senior Fed officials preferred to keep interest rates unchanged last month, highlighting concerns that high inflation still threatens the US economy. Despite a 25 - basis - point rate cut in September, the Fed meeting minutes showed that "a few" FOMC members would have supported keeping rates unchanged as inflation might stay above the target. The rise in inflation this year has "stalled" progress towards the 2% target, and some members worried about a rise in long - term inflation expectations if inflation doesn't return to the target in time [6]. - Fundamentals: Driven by LME zinc, SHFE zinc has risen slightly recently, mainly due to optimistic macro sentiment and continuous inventory reduction overseas. In the short - term, domestic smelters prefer domestic zinc concentrates due to better profits, leading to a decrease in domestic concentrate processing fees and an increase in imported concentrate processing fees. The large inventory difference between domestic and overseas has widened the refined zinc import loss, and attention should be paid to the opening of the refined zinc export window. In the long - term, on the supply side, domestic smelters' operating rates have increased, and refined zinc output has expanded, leading to a rapid increase in domestic social inventories. Overseas, high - cost smelters are under great loss pressure due to the record - low long - term processing fees, resulting in production cuts and continuous reduction of LME inventories. The widening import loss of refined zinc reflects the different situations between domestic and overseas smelting. Globally, the cyclical supply of zinc ore is gradually becoming looser. Although the transmission from ore production increase to smelting expansion is delayed by overseas smelter production cuts, considering the sufficient domestic smelting capacity, the increase in global zinc ore output will eventually lead to an increase in refined zinc production. On the demand side, it remains relatively stable, mainly maintaining the existing volume. With supply increasing and demand stable, there is a tendency of oversupply in the long - term zinc supply - demand balance [6]. - Strategy: The pattern of a stronger overseas and weaker domestic market continues. The import loss of refined zinc has widened close to the point of opening the export window. The outflow of domestic refined zinc can help stop the LME inventory reduction. It is still advisable to consider short - selling on rallies for long - term positions [6]. Group 3: Summary of Each Section in the Table of Contents Part 2: Industrial Fundamental - Supply Side - **Zinc Concentrate Output**: In July 2025, global zinc concentrate output was 1.0762 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 10.28%. The 2025 international long - term zinc ore TC price is set at $80/ton, a record low and half of the previous year. However, the 2024 long - term TC was overestimated, and the marginal loosening trend of zinc ore supply remains unchanged [8]. - **Zinc Concentrate Imports and Processing Fees**: From January to August 2025, China's cumulative imports of zinc concentrates were 3.5033 million physical tons, a year - on - year increase of 44.02%. The increase in imports has pushed up processing fees. As of September 26th, the imported concentrate processing fee was reported at $115.9/ton, and the domestic concentrate processing fee was 3,650 yuan/ton, showing a differentiation between domestic and imported processing fees [11]. - **Smelter Profit Estimation**: The profit of domestic smelters using domestic concentrates is still good, while that of using imported concentrates has turned into a loss due to the domestic - overseas price ratio [14]. - **Refined Zinc Output**: In July 2025, global refined zinc output was 1.1963 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.7%. In September 2025, domestic refined zinc output was 587,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of nearly 20%. The poor profit of imported concentrates and the tightening of recycled zinc raw materials led to a month - on - month decrease in output [17]. - **Refined Zinc Import Profit and Imports**: From January to August 2025, China's cumulative net imports of refined zinc were 222,400 tons. The refined zinc import window is currently closed, and the import loss has widened to over 4,000 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to the opening of the export window [20]. Part 3: Industrial Fundamental - Consumption Side - **Refined Zinc Initial - Stage Consumption**: In August 2025, domestic galvanized sheet output was 2.31 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 4.52%. The apparent consumption of galvanized products is relatively low, indicating weak actual demand and active destocking of hidden inventories in the industrial chain [25]. - **Refined Zinc Terminal Consumption - Infrastructure and Real Estate**: From January to August 2025, the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of infrastructure investment (excluding power) decreased. The back - end of the real estate market has stabilized at a low level, but front - end indicators such as new construction and construction are still weak [27]. - **Refined Zinc Terminal Consumption - Automobiles and Home Appliances**: In August 2025, domestic automobile production was 2.815 million vehicles, a year - on - year increase of 12.95%. With consumer loan interest subsidies and the release of a new round of national subsidies, home appliance consumption is expected to remain resilient [29]. Part 4: Other Indicators - **Inventory**: There is a differentiation in absolute inventory levels between domestic and overseas. Attention should be paid to the outflow of domestic inventory to supplement LME inventory [32]. - **Spot Premium**: As of October 8th, the LME 0 - 3 zinc premium was reported at a premium of $59.11/ton. Due to low LME inventory, the spot premium has increased. The domestic spot premium is low. On September 30th, abnormal trading of the near - month contract (Contract 10) near the closing led to abnormal price differences [35]. - **Exchange Positions**: As of October 3rd, the net long position of LME zinc investment funds was 28,894 lots. The weighted position of SHFE zinc has recently stabilized [37].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - In Q3, the bond market was mainly affected by anti - involution policies, the stock market, and new fund redemption rules, showing a continuous upward trend. The adjustment in Q3 was characterized by more long - end adjustments, fewer short - end adjustments, fewer low - grade credit adjustments, slightly more high - grade credit adjustments, more adjustments in secondary and perpetual bonds, and fewer adjustments in general credit bonds. In terms of investment returns, credit bonds with a maturity of 2 years or less performed well, while those with a maturity of 3 years or more mostly had negative returns [2]. - Currently, the interest rate may have fully priced in policy and fundamental disturbances. The pattern of weak fundamentals and weak financing demand remains unchanged, and the further upward space of the bond market may be limited [3]. - Historically, the bond market often declines in Q4, and credit spreads usually fluctuate. This year, due to weak bond fund returns and the importance of Q4 performance for the whole - year product performance, market gaming will be more intense, increasing market volatility. For credit bonds in Q4, it is still recommended to focus on coupons, be cautious about duration, and conduct periodic gaming [4][5]. - For different bond varieties, 2 - year short - term bonds are still a solid base and may perform well in the short - term after the holiday. Trading opportunities for secondary and perpetual bonds have emerged again, requiring quick entry and exit in the short - term, and depending on interest rate trends in the long - term. Institutions with unstable liability ends should be cautious about ultra - long - term credit bonds, but their trading volume has increased and shareholding banks have net - bought, indicating a recovery in allocation value, and trading strategies can be tried cautiously [6]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1.1 How was the performance in Q3? - The bond market was affected by anti - involution policies, the stock market, and new fund redemption rules, showing a continuous upward trend. In July, anti - involution policies were further implemented, and the bond market rose significantly; in August, the stock market rose strongly, suppressing bond market sentiment; in September, new fund redemption rules were introduced, and various news such as good industrial enterprise profits in August, progress in Sino - US negotiations, and the cancellation of fund tax exemption impacted the market [13]. - The Q3 adjustment showed characteristics of more long - end adjustments, fewer short - end adjustments, fewer low - grade credit adjustments, slightly more high - grade credit adjustments, more adjustments in secondary and perpetual bonds, and fewer adjustments in general credit bonds [15]. - In terms of investment returns, 2 - year and shorter - term credit bonds performed well with positive returns, while bonds with a maturity of 3 years or more had poor investment returns, and the longer the maturity, the worse the performance. For example, the investment return of the 30 - year treasury bond in Q3 was only - 7.818% [19]. 1.2 Will the downward trend continue? - In August, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise profits was 20.4%, mainly driven by industries such as power, heat production and supply, and metal smelting and processing. However, the sustainability of the profit recovery is limited due to factors such as the continuous decline in futures prices and weak social demand. The growth rates of both social financing and core social financing are declining, and the further upward space of the social financing growth rate is limited [21]. - Currently, the market interest rate has fully reflected the marginal changes in fundamentals and inflation. Considering the term spread of interest - rate bonds and the comparison between long - term interest rates and certificates of deposit, the further upward space of interest rates is limited, and there may be a downward trend at the end of the year [22][31]. 1.3 How to view credit spreads? - If interest rates do not rise further, credit spreads will likely fluctuate. Historically, credit spreads in Q4 mostly fluctuate. If the capital interest rate can remain stable, the pricing logic system of capital - certificates of deposit - credit will be more stable. Currently, the comparison between medium - term notes and certificates of deposit has risen significantly but is expected to fall back, and the term spread of credit bonds has reached a relatively high level in the past two years and is expected to have limited further upward space [35][40]. 1.4 How to understand the seasonality of the bond market and institutional psychology? - The bond market tends to decline in Q4. In the past 9 years from 2016 to now, interest - rate bonds rose only in 2016, 2017, and 2022, and declined in other years. Credit bonds generally perform worse than interest - rate bonds of the same maturity in Q4. This year, due to the poor performance of medium - and long - term bond funds, market gaming in Q4 will be more intense, increasing market volatility. Products with good performance may focus on controlling drawdowns, while those under performance pressure may more aggressively play the long - duration strategy [43][47][49]. 1.5 How to construct a portfolio? - Medium - and short - term credit bonds should still focus on defense. Holding credit bonds with a maturity of less than 2 years until the end of Q4 can withstand an upward range of more than 30bp, and appropriate credit risk exposure can also lead to good coupon performance [52]. - Ultra - long - term credit bonds: Their credit spreads are close to the high point in the past two years, and their trading volume has increased, and shareholding banks have net - bought, indicating that they have allocation value. Currently, the comparison between secondary and perpetual bonds and general credit bonds has risen to a high level, presenting trading opportunities [56][58][59]. 2.1 It is recommended to focus on medium - and long - term secondary and perpetual bonds - At the end of September, the comparison between 5 - year secondary and perpetual bonds and medium - term notes rose rapidly. The comparison advantages of 5 - year secondary capital bonds of all grades over 5 - year medium - term notes increased significantly, and the comparisons of AAA, AA +, and AA grades are currently 9.96bp, 9.08bp, and 4.08bp respectively, still at a high level this year. The comparisons of 1 - year secondary bonds of all grades with medium - term notes are all negative [63]. - The comparison between short - end urban investment bonds and medium - term notes has declined significantly, breaking through the low point of the year, and the cost - performance of medium - and low - grade bonds is relatively low, so entry still needs to wait. The comparison between long - end weak - quality urban investment bonds and medium - term notes has increased [65]. 2.2 Focus on high - coupon assets with a maturity of about 2 years - Currently, the proportion of urban investment bonds with a valuation of over 2.3% is 38.0%, that of non - financial industrial bonds is 24.5%, and that of secondary and perpetual bonds is 33.3%. Bonds with a maturity of about 2 years and a valuation of over 2.3% have good value and are worth attention [67]. - For urban investment bonds, long - end bonds can combine coupon and band operations, and short - duration high - coupon varieties can still be participated in. It is recommended to focus on bonds with a maturity of about 2 years issued by companies such as Xi'an High - tech, Henan Aviation Port, and Zhuhai Huafa [68]. - For industrial bonds, among real - estate enterprises, it is recommended to focus on bonds of important local state - owned real - estate enterprises with a maturity of about 2 years, such as Shoukai, Jianfa, and CCCC Real Estate. Among non - real - estate industrial entities, focus on bonds with a maturity of less than 2 years issued by enterprises such as Jizhong Energy and AVIC Industry Finance, and bonds with a maturity of about 2 years issued by enterprises such as HBIS and Yunnan Investment [72]. 3.1 How was the market performance? - On September 29 - 30, credit bonds generally recovered, and spreads generally widened. Credit bond yields declined slightly, with short - end secondary and perpetual bonds performing more significantly, while 10Y secondary and perpetual bonds continued to rise. Credit spreads widened overall, and the spreads of secondary and perpetual bonds showed a differentiated trend, with short - end spreads declining and long - end spreads widening [74].
