Group 1 - New City issued a $300 million three-year USD bond with a coupon rate of 11.88%, but the market price fell by 0.5-1pt from the issue price, leading to a final subscription amount of $612 million, down from $880 million [1][2] - This bond issuance is significant as it marks the first USD bond from a private real estate company in three years and is an unsecured credit bond, which helps alleviate cash outflows for the company [2][4] - The issuance timing was strategic, as the company aimed to capitalize on a favorable market window, similar to previous successful issuances by other companies like Greentown [4][10] Group 2 - New City was cautious in its approach, issuing only $300 million out of a $600 million quota, which helps mitigate repayment pressure in the future [6][7] - The company executed a quick transition from bond issuance to repurchasing maturing bonds, demonstrating careful financial planning [9][10] - The investor composition for the bond was notable, with 39% from funds and asset management companies, 55% from high-net-worth clients/private banks, and only 6% from investment banks, indicating a cautious sentiment from larger financial institutions [11]

Group 1: U.S. Debt Situation - The U.S. government faces a potential debt default as $6.6 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds are set to mature by June 2025, with a significant portion of short-term debt due in June 2023 estimated at around $2.3 trillion [1] - The interest on U.S. Treasury bonds has increased significantly, with new debt interest rates rising to 4.5% to 5%, contrasting sharply with previous near-zero rates, leading to a projected $1 trillion in interest payments for the fiscal year [3] - The proportion of short-term debt has exceeded 20%, raising concerns about liquidity crises if the market refuses to absorb new debt [3] Group 2: Political Dynamics - The Trump administration is attempting to shift blame for increasing deficits onto external factors, such as China's potential sale of U.S. debt and the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies, ahead of the September debt ceiling negotiations [3] - Tensions between the U.S. and South Africa have been highlighted, with Trump's decision to attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg seen as a significant shift in U.S. diplomatic posture [5] - Trump's primary objective for attending the G20 summit appears to be to create an opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with Chinese leaders, as he has not yet engaged with them since taking office [8]

文 ｜ 李翀 崔嵘 贾天楚 韦昕澄 近期市场存在"年中美债集中到期"的叙事。然而，从美国到期债务结构、财政操作和市场行为来看，这一叙事存在明显夸大。美债到期结构方 面，今年年中确实存在一定的集中到期压力，但主要源于短债（T-Bills）。不过，T-Bills以高频滚动、"借新还旧"为常态，而且从"对等关 税"发布后T-Bills的拍卖情况看，T-Bills需求依旧稳定。另外，我们观察到在特朗普2 . 0时期非美央行有"买短卖长"、缩短持有美债久期的趋 势。因此，2Y和5Y美债拍卖表现或并不能准确反映当前非美央行对美债久期的真实需求。最后，T-Bills ETF的资金流入情况显示 "年中美债集 中到期"的叙事并没有使投资者卖出T-Bills。我们认为年中短期美债集中到期是可以解决的问题，不过，因为特朗普政策冲击导致的信用裂痕使 得美国债务问题虽无近忧但有远虑。 ▍ 美债集中到期：短债为主，中长债平稳 从美债到期结构来看，今年年中确实存在一定的美债集中到期压力，但主要来源于短债（T-Bills）。T-Bills以高频滚动、"借新还旧"为常 态，且今年5月约2万亿美元的到期规模在2 0 2 3和2 0 2 4年也屡 ...
