Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Last week, the bond market strengthened overall, with long - term bond yields dropping significantly. The announcement of resuming treasury bond trading operations by the central bank governor, large - scale purchases of medium - and short - term bonds by major banks, the successful China - US summit, a loose capital situation, and lower - than - expected October manufacturing PMI data all boosted market sentiment [3]. - This week, the bond market is expected to continue a relatively strong and volatile trend. The weak October manufacturing PMI further confirms the weak fundamentals, and the central bank's restart of treasury bond trading in the open market strengthens the market's expectation of monetary easing. The central bank's continuous use of various tools to inject liquidity is expected to keep the capital market loose. However, the stock - bond seesaw effect still exists, and the new regulations on the redemption fees of public bond funds have not been implemented, which will still cause some disturbances to the bond market. It is expected that the yield of 10 - year treasury bonds will range from 1.75% to 1.85% [3]. 3.

The yields of major inter - bank interest - rate bonds generally declined, with the 10 - year treasury bond yield dropping 2.44bp and the 10 - year futures main contract rising 0.25% [4]. - On October 29th, affected by the rumor that major banks were buying new bonds issued this year with a maturity of less than 3 years, the market speculated that there was still room for loose monetary policy. The medium - and short - term bonds strengthened significantly, while long - term bonds were weaker. The yields of most major inter - bank interest - rate bonds declined, with the 10 - year treasury bond yield rising slightly by 0.29bp and the 10 - year futures main contract rising 0.13% [4]. - On October 30th, boosted by the expectation of central bank bond - buying and loose capital, the bond market fluctuated and trended upwards. The yields of major inter - bank interest - rate bonds generally declined, with the 10 - year treasury bond yield dropping 1.10bp and the 10 - year futures main contract rising 0.05% [4]. - On October 31st, due to continuous loose capital and lower - than - expected October manufacturing PMI data, the market sentiment was high, and the bond market continued to be warm.

This was mainly due to the simultaneous decline in manufacturing supply and demand under the combined influence of internal and external factors. The service industry PMI index in October was 50.2%, up 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, mainly because the one - day increase in the long holiday in October drove up residents' travel demand.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The CPI showed a slight improvement in September 2025, with limited improvement in both year - on - year and month - on - month growth rates. The core CPI's year - on - year increase has been expanding for five consecutive months. The PPI's month - on - month growth rate remained flat for two consecutive months, and the processing industry's prices decreased month - on - month. The PPI's year - on - year growth rate may be at the bottom and on the rise, but there is obvious structural differentiation [2][7]. - Regarding interest - rate bonds, since August 2025, the yield curve of treasury bonds has steepened, with short - term yields being stable and long - term yields rising significantly. The current bond market should be viewed more optimistically, and the duration selection can be from short to long, maintaining the view that the fluctuation center of the 10Y treasury bond yield is 1.7%. For convertible bonds, although they are relatively high - quality assets in the long run, they are currently in a high - level valuation compression stage and require more attention to structure [3][19][28]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event - On October 15, 2025, the National Bureau of Statistics released the CPI and PPI data for September 2025. The CPI decreased by 0.3% year - on - year (previous value: - 0.4%), the core CPI increased by 1.0% year - on - year (previous value: 0.9%), and the PPI decreased by 2.3% year - on - year (previous value: - 2.9%) [1][6]. 3.2 Comment 3.2.1 CPI - In September 2025, the CPI's year - on - year and month - on - month growth rates improved to some extent compared with the previous month, but the improvement was limited. The month - on - month growth rate was within the seasonal fluctuation range [7]. - Structurally, food prices improved month - on - month (with a month - on - month growth rate of 0.7%, up from 0.5% last month), energy and service prices decreased month - on - month (energy prices decreased by 0.8% month - on - month, and service prices decreased by 0.3% month - on - month), and the core CPI's year - on - year increase continued to expand [8]. 3.2.2 PPI - In September 2025, the PPI's year - on - year decline narrowed, and the month - on - month growth rate remained flat for two consecutive months. Among the production materials, the year - on - year decline of the mining, raw materials, and processing industries all narrowed, but the processing industry's prices decreased month - on - month [13][14]. - Looking forward, with the continuous implementation of the "anti - involution" policy, the PPI's year - on - year growth rate may be at the bottom and on the rise, but there is obvious structural differentiation, and the price increase of upstream mining has not been effectively transmitted to the mid - and downstream industrial products [17]. 3.3 Bond Market Viewpoint 3.3.1 Interest - rate Bonds - Since August 2025, the yield of treasury bonds has shown obvious differentiation, with short - term yields being stable and long - term yields rising significantly. Since the end of September, the yield spread between 10Y and 1Y treasury bonds has narrowed, while the spread between 30Y and 10Y treasury bonds has widened. Currently, the capital market is relatively loose, and the bond market should be viewed more optimistically, with the duration selection from short to long, and the fluctuation center of the 10Y treasury bond yield is maintained at 1.7% [19][22]. 3.3.2 Convertible Bonds - As of October 14, 2025, the CSI Convertible Bond Index had a return of + 15.7% since the beginning of the year. Currently, the valuation quantiles of convertible bonds are close to or exceed historical highs, so an oscillatory pattern is inevitable. In the long run, convertible bonds are relatively high - quality assets, but at present, more attention should be paid to the structure [28].
