债券"策略荒"- 每周债市超话 20250428 摘要 • 当前债市呈现策略荒，收益率曲线总体走平，长端波动小，交易空间狭窄， 机构操作谨慎，多以票据策略为主，拉长久期意愿不强。短端受资金价格 限制，下行空间有限；长端交易难度大，波段操作风险高。 • 政治局会议后，市场对货币宽松预期有所压缩，降准降息时间点未明确， 广义财政政策发力未超预期。MLF 与买断式回购进入平衡状态，增量难度 增加，降准的宽松信号意义不可替代，市场对二季度降准仍抱有期待。 • 短期内，不需要过分担心流动性问题，短端国债估值水平合理，与资金价 格挂钩仍有调整空间。即使没有降准落地，资金也不会再次明显收紧，银 行负债已经修复，降准落地将使流动性更加平稳。 • 当前策略荒是短期应对，中长期宏观趋势对债市有利，但需时间验证。若 短端保持稳定且收益率曲线偏平，则是较好情景；若仅降准而无明确宽松 政策，长端可能出现阶段性止盈压力，需保持谨慎。 • 近期若无降息落地，交易节奏不利，易出现熊陡走势或长端止盈。关注短 端积累票息，为后续博弈做准备，淡化长端交易。降准在短端更安全平稳， 长端行情需短端率先下行，或资金超预期宽松。 Q&A 近期债市行情的主 ...

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records discuss the fixed income market in China, highlighting the impact of economic slowdown on global markets, with an estimated 1.5%-2% impact on global economic growth due to China's economic deceleration [1][2]. Key Points and Arguments - **Economic Slowdown**: High-frequency data from April indicates a significant slowdown in economic activity, with the Business Condition Index (BCI) dropping by 4.6 percentage points and new home sales down by 20-30% year-on-year, reflecting weak domestic demand [1][2]. - **Monetary Policy Constraints**: The monetary policy has not been timely or aggressive enough to stimulate demand, leading to a constrained downward movement in interest rates. The central bank has primarily played a passive role in liquidity management [1][2]. - **Market Outlook**: The political bureau meeting suggests limited government special bond supply and credit expansion pressure in Q2, with no large-scale stimulus policies expected. This indicates a higher likelihood of downward market movement and a lower probability of interest rates rising [1][3]. - **Investment Opportunities**: In the current market environment, there are opportunities arising from the narrowing yield spread between short-term and long-term government bonds. It is recommended to increase allocations in short-term government bonds and monitor credit bond investment opportunities closely [1][5]. - **Government Bond Issuance**: The issuance plan for special government bonds and supplementary bank capital bonds in Q2 is expected to have limited impact on market supply pressure, with net financing for special government bonds estimated at approximately 4.4 trillion yuan, slightly higher than Q1 [1][6]. - **Price Trends and Inflation**: The escalation of the US-China trade conflict and domestic economic slowdown have led to a significant drop in the industrial product price index, with expectations of a notable increase in PPI declines in April, potentially reaching a year-on-year drop of 2.8%-2.9% [1][7]. - **Trade Conflict Impact**: The ongoing US-China trade conflict is expected to have a delayed impact on economic indicators, with more pronounced effects anticipated by May 2025, which may lead to further downward pressure on interest rates [1][8]. Additional Important Insights - **Investment Strategy**: A "barbell" investment strategy is recommended, focusing on one-year term deposits and credit bonds, as well as long-term government bonds (10 years and above). This strategy is expected to provide better value given the current market conditions [1][9]. - **Interest Rate Projections**: The yield on 10-year government bonds is projected to potentially drop to around 1.4% this year, reflecting the limited upward movement in long-term bond yields due to substantial fundamental pressures and limited government bond supply [1][10].
