1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The recent bond market has experienced increased volatility, with interest rates stabilizing after a correction last week and declining on Monday. The report maintains its previous view that the suppression of the bond market by the recent surge in commodity prices is mainly due to short - term sentiment. Attention should be paid to whether the "anti - involution" policy will be transmitted to the downstream price, driving up inflation such as PPI/CPI. Currently, high - frequency data shows weak demand. The bond fund redemption wave may have ended, and the recent fund selling is mainly of interest - rate bonds rather than credit bonds, which is mainly to cope with liquidity shocks. The central bank conducted large - scale reverse repurchase operations on Monday, indicating its intention to support the capital market. Future attention should be paid to potential incremental policies from the Politburo meeting in July and the impact of events such as the China - US talks in August and the Fourth Plenary Session on the bond market [2]. - Nearly 60% of fixed - income sellers are bullish on the bond market this week, showing an optimistic sentiment. Fixed - income buyers' views are generally neutral, with a decline in the sentiment index [3]. - The report believes that Treasury bond futures will stop falling and rise this week. There are certain reverse - arbitrage opportunities in TS/TL contracts. The inter - delivery spread of TS/TF/T contracts is still inverted but at a relatively high level, while the inter - delivery spread of the TL contract is positive and rising. If the IRR of the 2512 contract is significantly higher than the capital cost, it may be appropriate to participate in positive arbitrage. The current futures price curve has flattened, but the term spreads are generally at a neutral level in history, with limited space for further flattening [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Seller and Buyer Market 3.1.1 Seller Market Sentiment Index and Interest - Rate Bonds - The weighted sentiment index of sellers this week is 0.41, with a bullish view, up from last week. The unweighted index is 0.56, an increase of 0.02 from last week. Currently, institutions generally hold a neutral - bullish view, with 16 bullish, 10 neutral, and 1 bearish. 59% of institutions are bullish, with key factors including limited impact of the "anti - involution" policy on demand, possible slowdown in export demand, unchanged fundamentals, continuous support from the central bank, narrow spread space, potential new central bank easing, and incremental policies from the Politburo meeting may not exceed expectations. 37% of institutions are neutral, focusing on the central bank's liquidity support from August to September and whether the "anti - involution" policy can be effectively transmitted to the price end. 4% of institutions are bearish, believing that all - round policy implementation may lead to economic surprises and drive up interest rates [12]. 3.1.2 Buyer Market Sentiment Index and Interest - Rate Bonds - The weighted sentiment index of buyers this week is 0.13, with a neutral view, unchanged from last week. The unweighted index is 0.19, a decrease of 0.09 from last week. Currently, institutions generally hold a neutral - bullish view, with 6 bullish, 19 neutral, and 1 bearish. 23% of institutions are bullish, considering that the upward movement of interest rates driven by short - term sentiment is an opportunity, and the broad - spectrum interest rates are generally declining. 73% of institutions are neutral, believing that the suppression of the bond market by the commodity and equity markets needs further observation, and the capital and supply sides do not form a basis for an upward adjustment of interest rates. 4% of institutions are bearish, citing factors such as global inflation driven by the depreciation of the US dollar/expansion of fiscal deficits in developed countries, a rise in domestic risk appetite, and "multi - killing - multi" among institutions [13]. 3.1.3 Credit Bonds - Market hot topics include central bank's capital injection and redemption pressure on credit - bond ETFs. The central bank's large - scale capital injection, with a net injection of 801.8 billion yuan through reverse repurchases and MLF, has loosened the capital market. Credit - bond ETFs' component bonds were over - heated previously, and attention should be paid to the risk of valuation adjustment [17]. 3.1.4 Convertible Bonds - Institutions generally hold a neutral - bullish view on convertible bonds this week, with 8 bullish and 6 neutral. 57% of institutions are bullish, believing that the equity market has strong momentum, convertible bond prices still have room to rise, and attention should be paid to industries not priced by the "anti - involution" expectation at low levels. Fixed - income plus funds have strong demand for convertible bonds. 43% of institutions are also bullish, but they think that convertible bond prices are at a historical high, with a decline in cost - effectiveness. Considering refinancing policies, the subsequent issuance pressure of convertible bonds is expected to be low, and attention should be paid to the risk of a decline in the underlying stock's volatility [20]. 3.2 Treasury Bond Futures Tracking 3.2.1 Futures Trading - As of July 25, the prices of Treasury TS/TF/T/TL contracts decreased to 102.31 yuan, 105.57 yuan, 108.18 yuan, and 117.95 yuan respectively, down 0.12 yuan, 0.42 yuan, 0.61 yuan, and 2.51 yuan from last Friday.

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records primarily discuss the bond market, particularly focusing on long-term credit bonds and their market dynamics in 2025 [1][2][4][7]. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Market Dynamics**: Since late May 2025, the long-term credit bond market has seen a significant uptick due to monetary easing measures such as interest rate cuts and increased liquidity from non-bank institutions. This has led to a rapid growth in credit bond ETFs [1][7]. 2. **Investment Trends**: There has been a notable increase in net purchases of medium-term bonds (5-7 years) by various institutional investors, including funds, insurance companies, and pension funds. The peak net purchase reached approximately 3.5 billion, compared to 0.5 billion in the previous year [8]. 3. **Credit Spread Compression**: Short-term bonds (up to 3 years) have experienced extreme compression in credit spreads, while long-term bonds (5 years and above) still have room for further compression, with potential spread reductions of 17-40 basis points compared to last year's lows [1][10]. 4. **Market Reactions**: The bond market's volatility in July 2025 was attributed to regulatory changes in rural financial institutions and uncertainties in real estate policies. However, the core issue was the over-concentration of trades and unmet expectations for monetary easing [2][3]. 5. **Long-term Credit Bond Strategy**: Investors are advised to look for opportunities in long-term credit bonds, particularly when yields approach around 1.7%. Continuous monitoring of fund redemption and government bond supply is crucial for making informed investment decisions [4][5][6]. 6. **Central Bank Operations**: The central bank's recent actions, including substantial reverse repo operations, indicate a commitment to maintaining liquidity in the market, which is expected to prevent significant upward pressure on bond prices [5][6]. Additional Important Insights 1. **Debt Management**: The records highlight the challenges faced by local government financing platforms in managing debt, with a notable slowdown in the growth of interest-bearing debt and bonds, reaching the lowest growth rates since 2019 [14][20]. 2. **Debt Structure Changes**: The proportion of long-term debt in local government financing platforms has increased, with long-term debt now accounting for 70.5% of total debt. However, the asset-liability ratio has also risen, indicating growing financial pressure [16][17]. 3. **Cash Flow Concerns**: There is a concerning trend in the short-term debt repayment capacity of local governments, with a decrease in the coverage ratio of cash to short-term debt, indicating potential liquidity issues [17][19]. 4. **Future Outlook**: Key areas to watch include the market transformation of financing platforms, the repayment of overdue corporate debts, and the resolution of issues related to unlicensed financial institutions [21][22]. This summary encapsulates the critical points discussed in the conference call records, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and future outlook of the bond market and local government financing platforms.

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, stated that the volatility in the bond market in April is not fundamentally related to concerns about stability [1] Group 1 - The bond market experienced fluctuations in April, but these were not linked to stability issues [1] - Yellen emphasized that the current market conditions should not be interpreted as a sign of underlying economic instability [1] - The Treasury Department is closely monitoring the situation to ensure market stability [1]

Core Viewpoint - The central theme of the articles is the recent monetary policy adjustments by the central bank, including a reduction in deposit and loan interest rates, which has led to a significant decrease in the performance benchmarks of various wealth management products offered by banks [1][2][6]. Group 1: Monetary Policy Changes - In May, the central bank implemented a "combination punch" of monetary policy, reducing the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points and the policy interest rate by 0.1 percentage points, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) by approximately 0.1 percentage points [2][6]. - Major state-owned banks initiated their first deposit rate cuts of the year, with the interest rate for demand deposits dropping to 0.05%, nearing "zero interest," and the one-year deposit rate falling below 1% [2][3]. Group 2: Wealth Management Product Adjustments - Over 300 wealth management products adjusted their performance benchmarks in May, with some products experiencing reductions exceeding 100 basis points [1][2][3]. - For instance, the benchmark for a specific product from Xingyin Wealth Management was adjusted from an annualized range of 2.20%-4.15% to 1.60%-2.60%, with the upper and lower limits reduced by 60 basis points and 155 basis points, respectively [3][5]. Group 3: Market Trends and Performance - As of early June, the average annualized yield for open-ended fixed-income wealth management products was 2.85%, while the one-year yield averaged 2.41%, indicating a downward trend in yields [6][7]. - The total scale of the wealth management market surpassed 30 trillion yuan, driven by the "deposit migration" effect as deposit rates fell [7][11]. Group 4: Investor Demand and Product Supply Mismatch - There is a notable mismatch between investor risk preferences and the types of wealth management products available, with 46.69% of investors having a risk preference of C3 or higher, while only 4.31% of products fall into the R3 category or above [13][14]. - The low-risk perception of wealth management products has limited their sustainable development, as the supply of low-volatility products does not align with the growing demand for diverse investment options [13][14].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of Trump's threat to impose a 50% tariff on the EU, which has led to significant movements in the global bond market and a surge in safe-haven assets like gold, indicating a reshaping of financial market dynamics [1][4].

Group 2: Safe-Haven Assets - Gold prices surged by 2.1% to $3362.70 per ounce, reaching a six-week high, while the US dollar index fell by 0.83%, reflecting a loss of confidence in US policies [6][7]. - The movements in the bond market and precious metals serve as indicators of capital flows amid trade conflicts [7]. Group 3: EU Countermeasures - The EU's countermeasures include a targeted list of $21 billion in tariffs, focusing on agricultural products that impact key Republican states, while avoiding escalation by removing whiskey tariffs [9]. - Potential retaliatory measures from the EU could disrupt corporate bond issuance and increase credit spread volatility [11]. Group 4: Investment Insights - The article highlights that if the tariff conflict persists until 2028, Germany could face cumulative losses of €250 billion, with the bond market already pricing in these risks [18]. - The risk premium on German bonds has increased by 3-5 basis points, and if negotiations break down before July 9, this premium could potentially double [18].
