Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2025-08-04 00:57
Core Viewpoint - A surprisingly weak employment report has reversed the pessimistic sentiment in the U.S. Treasury market, reviving the "steepening yield curve" strategy that had previously been under pressure [1]. Group 1: Employment Report Impact - The July non-farm payroll report showed a slowdown in job growth and a significant downward revision of 258,000 jobs for May and June, altering the market narrative [1]. - Following the report, all U.S. Treasury yields fell, with the two-year Treasury leading the decline, dropping over 25 basis points in a single day, marking the largest daily drop since December 2023 [1]. Group 2: Market Reactions - Traders are betting on an earlier interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, with futures market pricing indicating an 84% chance of a rate cut next month and at least two cuts expected by the end of the year [4]. - The steepening yield curve strategy, which had been unprofitable since April, saw a resurgence as short-term yields plummeted, leading to the largest single-day increase in the yield difference between two-year and thirty-year Treasuries since April 10 [5]. Group 3: Future Expectations - The weak employment data provides strong evidence for those advocating for early rate cuts, including dissenting Federal Reserve officials and President Trump [7]. - Analysts suggest that the upcoming $125 billion Treasury issuance could support the steepening trend, with the government set to issue securities including $10 billion and $30 billion in 10-year and 30-year bonds [7].

国债买卖何时重启?

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is maintained at "Outperform" [4][50]. Core Insights - The introduction of government bond trading aims to diversify monetary policy tools and manage liquidity, with a long-term focus on reducing reliance on reserve requirement ratio cuts and broad-based refinancing tools [5][11]. - The government bond trading operations have not achieved the intended goal of steepening the yield curve, instead accelerating the decline of broad interest rates, leading to a situation where the 1-year government bond yield fell below 1% by December 2024 [5][25]. - The resumption of government bond trading is unlikely in the short term due to high interest rate risks among rural commercial banks, which may lead to significant losses if long-term bonds are aggressively purchased [5][44]. Summary by Sections Government Bond Trading Launch and Suspension - Government bond trading was officially launched in August 2024 but was suspended in January 2025 due to persistent supply-demand imbalances in the government bond market [5][28]. - The trading was intended to serve as a channel for basic currency issuance and liquidity management, with operations primarily involving "buying short and selling long" [5][16]. Reasons for Launch - The long-term need to shift the basic currency issuance method from relying on reserve requirement cuts to government bond trading is emphasized [11][12]. - The central government's increasing leverage necessitates coordination with monetary policy to alleviate liquidity pressures and stabilize issuance costs [11][12]. Impact on Monetary Policy - The operations have significantly influenced the central bank's balance sheet, particularly affecting the "government debt" and "other deposits" categories [20][21]. - The rapid decline in interest rates during the trading period has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the government bond trading tool [25][29]. Conditions for Resumption - The resumption of government bond trading is contingent upon three main conditions: monitoring the bond market's operational status, observing changes in government bond yields, and assessing market supply-demand conditions [31][32][43]. - The current liquidity pressure is manageable, and the necessity for resumption is low, especially with the anticipated government bond net financing pressure being controllable in Q3 2025 [43][44].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market has returned to the main theme of oscillation, with short - term performance relatively strong. The central bank's series of operations, including conducting large - scale outright reverse repurchases and considering canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases, aim to release liquidity and stabilize market expectations. Logically, short - term interest - rate bonds and high - liquidity credit products may benefit, but the long - term market may still be affected by various factors and maintain an oscillatory pattern [1][6][9]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Market Trends - From July 14 - 18, the bond market maintained an oscillatory pattern, with most interest - rate bond yields declining. The adjustment pressure was mainly concentrated on long - term and ultra - long - term bonds, especially 30 - year treasury bonds. As of July 18, the yields of 1Y, 2Y, 10Y, 30Y, and 50Y treasury bonds changed by - 2.1BP, - 1.9BP, 0.0BP, + 1.4BP, - 0.7BP respectively compared to last week, reaching 1.35%, 1.38%, 1.67%, 1.89%, 1.95% [1][9]. - The bond market showed a "reverse V - shaped" trend due to the combination of multiple factors such as the central bank's operations, economic data releases, and the central bank's public consultation on canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases [9]. 3.2 Central Bank's New Movements - During the tax payment period this week, the central bank continuously maintained net reverse repurchase injections and conducted 1.4 trillion yuan of outright reverse repurchases, with a net injection of 200 billion yuan, releasing a signal of caring for the capital market. The central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchases totaled 1.7268 trillion yuan, with 425.7 billion yuan due, achieving a net injection of 1.3011 trillion yuan. MLF due was 100 billion yuan, and the outright reverse repurchase injection was 1.4 trillion yuan, with a net injection of 200 billion yuan [9][17]. - As of July 18, R001 and R007 changed by + 8.4BP and - 0.1BP respectively compared to last week, reaching 1.49% and 1.51%; DR001 and DR007 increased by 11.4BP and 3.5BP respectively, reaching 1.46% and 1.51% [17]. - After the central bank cut the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points in May and carried out outright reverse repurchases in advance in June, it conducted another 1.4 trillion yuan of outright reverse repurchases in July, making outright operations gradually normalized, which shows the central bank's attitude of caring for liquidity and supporting broad credit and further stabilizes market expectations [2][19]. - The reasons for the central bank to conduct outright reverse repurchases are to hedge the capital gap and relieve the pressure on the bank's liability side to support the real - economy credit supply [19][21]. - Compared with pledged repurchases, outright reverse repurchases have longer terms, reduce the pressure of short - term tool roll - overs, weaken the dependence on the credit quality of bank collateral, lower the financing threshold for small and medium - sized banks, and improve the efficiency of liquidity release [3][23]. 3.3 Understanding the Central Bank's Cancellation of the Freeze of Collateral in Bond Repurchases - On July 18, the central bank publicly solicited opinions on the "Decision of the People's Bank of China on Amending Some Rules (Draft for Comment)", which included canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases, aiming to facilitate monetary policy operations such as open - market treasury bond trading and promote the high - level opening of the bond market [25]. - The reasons for the central bank to propose canceling the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases are that the current pledged repurchase model in China leads to a large "precipitation" of high - grade bonds and low efficiency in collateral disposal when the financing party defaults, while international mature markets generally use outright repurchases where collateral can be circulated again. Also, canceling the freeze can unfreeze the 6 - trillion - yuan daily repurchase market and enhance the flexibility of domestic liquidity management [4][27]. - If the freeze of collateral in bond repurchases is canceled, the capital market is expected to see a pattern of "stable quantity and falling price". Short - term interest - rate bonds may benefit and have downward space, while long - term bonds may maintain an oscillatory pattern, and the yield curve is more likely to steepen [5][32]. 3.4 Next Week's Key Points of Attention - Monday (July 21): China's 1Y and 5Y LPR quotes. - Tuesday (July 22): China's June bank foreign exchange settlement, US July Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index. - Wednesday (July 23): US June M2 month - on - month, EU July Consumer Confidence Index. - Thursday (July 24): Eurozone July benchmark interest rate, Eurozone July overnight deposit rate. - Friday (July 25): China's July MLF injection, Eurozone June M2 year - on - year [37].
