Core Insights - The third round of bond market adjustments in 2025 may not be over yet, but there is potential for a delayed cross-year market rally if monetary easing expectations increase in January-February 2026 [1][3][27] Group 1: Understanding Recent Adjustments - The current bond market adjustment shows a structural characteristic where ultra-long-term bonds lead the decline, with the 30-year treasury bond reaching a peak yield of 2.28% on December 16, while the 10-year bond primarily experienced a corrective trend [1][11] - The adjustment in ultra-long-term bonds reflects weakened both allocation and trading power, with a significant increase in the supply of bonds over 10 years, reaching 1.86 trillion yuan by December 19, 2025, accounting for 11.66% of total bond issuance [13][19] - The adjustment pattern indicates that the third round may still be ongoing, potentially mirroring the structure of the second round, with the 10-year bond yield fluctuating in an adjustment-recovery-adjustment manner [24][25] Group 2: Comparison of Adjustment Rounds - In 2025, there have been three notable rounds of adjustments, with the first round driven by unexpected tightening of the funding environment, leading to a significant rise in short-term rates [2][19] - The second round was characterized by a simultaneous rise in stock prices and a decline in bond prices, indicating a shift in investor sentiment and a reduction in bullish sentiment towards bonds [22] - The third round, starting from November 3, 2025, has shown a different driving force, primarily influenced by institutional behavior and the resumption of bond trading, rather than the funding and stock-bond dynamics that characterized the previous rounds [2][22] Group 3: Cross-Year Market Trends - Historically, the bond market has exhibited a calendar effect around the New Year, often showing upward trends before the Spring Festival, with notable increases in bond yields observed in 2022, 2024, and 2025 [3][26] - The 2025 cross-year market saw a decline of approximately 50 basis points in the 10-year bond yield from T-60 to T-18 days before the Spring Festival, followed by a period of consolidation [3][26] - If the third round of adjustments continues, the potential for a delayed cross-year rally remains, contingent on favorable monetary policy developments [27]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the traditional "stock-bond seesaw" effect failed again, with both the stock and bond markets rising and falling together. Long-term interest rates fluctuated sharply between the "reality of loose money" and the "frustration of strong expectations," and the oversold of ultra-long-duration assets reflected the crowding of market funds and the fragility of market sentiment [3][91]. - In the last four trading weeks of the year, the fact that the "sales new rules" have not fully "landed" remains the main market concern, but the approaching important meetings have restored the "loose money" expectation. The focus of market gaming may still be the emotional fluctuations caused by marginal policy changes [3][92]. - The report maintains the judgment of a recovery market in December but expects the downward space of interest rates to be relatively limited. It is recommended to adopt a left-side layout configuration rhythm, prioritize switching positions to medium - and short - term treasury bonds and policy financial bonds, and pay attention to trading opportunities of secondary perpetual bonds of the same term. As the meeting window approaches, gradually increase the offensive nature of the portfolio, control the overall duration center of the portfolio within the medium - to long - term range of 5 - 7 years, and avoid high - congestion assets [3][92][93]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Important Matters - On December 5, 2025, the central bank will conduct a 1000 - billion - yuan 3 - month (91 - day) fixed - quantity, interest - rate - tendered, multi - price - winning bidder - selected买断式逆回购 operation. The net investment of the central bank in treasury bonds in November was 5 billion yuan, far lower than the market's relatively optimistic expectation of 100 billion yuan. On December 5, 2025, six major banks stopped selling 5 - year large - denomination certificate of deposit products [6][9]. 3.2 Money Market 3.2.1 Open Market Operations and Fund Interest Rate Trends - From December 1 to 5, 2025, the central bank's 7 - day reverse repurchase operation had a net investment of - 84.8 billion yuan. It is expected that the basic currency will have a maturity withdrawal of 66.38 billion yuan from December 8 to 12, 2025. At the beginning of the month, the fund market was generally loose, and DR001 fell below 1.3% for the first time this year [14][15]. 3.2.2 Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate Trends and Repurchase Transaction Situations - In the primary market, the issuance scale of inter - bank certificates of deposit last week was 495.91 billion yuan, a decrease of 63.54 billion yuan from the previous week. The net financing scale was 47.1 billion yuan, an increase of 289.69 billion yuan from the previous week. The issuance interest rates of inter - bank certificates of deposit generally increased last week. In the secondary market, the yields of inter - bank certificates of deposit generally increased last week [25][31][34]. 3.3 Bond Market - In the primary market, the supply scale of interest - rate bonds decreased last week, with an actual issuance of 430.717 billion yuan and a net financing of 128.844 billion yuan. As of December 5, 2025, the cumulative net financing scale of various treasury bonds in 2025 was about 6.23 trillion yuan, and that of various local bonds was about 7.11 trillion yuan, showing a significant increase compared with the average values from 2021 to 2024. As of last week, the issuance scale of special refinancing bonds in 2025 had reached 2.29 trillion yuan, mainly with long - term and ultra - long - term maturities [38][44][48]. - In the secondary market, at the beginning of the month, the short - term interest rates were stable, while the ultra - long - term interest rates continued to be affected by market noise and increased significantly. The yields of 1 - year, 3 - year, 5 - year, 7 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year treasury bonds changed by - 0.01BP, - 1.46BP, 1.39BP, 0.17BP, 0.68BP, and 7.20BP respectively. The 10Y - 1Y treasury bond yield spread increased from 43.95BP to 44.64BP. The yields of the same - term CDB bonds also changed, and the 10Y - 1Y CDB bond yield spread increased from 34.94BP to 37.66BP. The implied tax rate of 10 - year CDB bonds increased slightly [51]. 3.4 Institutional Behavior Tracking - Last week, the leveraged trading scale was generally stable due to the relatively loose fund market. In the cash bond market, state - owned banks significantly increased their holdings of treasury bonds within 5 years and local bonds within 10 years; rural commercial banks mainly increased their holdings of 5 - 10 - year policy financial bonds and treasury bonds over 5 years; insurance companies continued to prefer local bonds over 10 years; securities firms and funds were the main sellers last week [68][73]. - In October 2025, the leverage ratio of all institutions in the inter - bank market was about 118.77%, an increase of about 0.06 percentage points from September. The leverage ratios of commercial banks, securities companies, and other institutions in the inter - bank market in October 2025 were about 110.31%, 191.29%, and 132.17% respectively [68]. 3.5 High - Frequency Data Tracking - Last week, the settlement price of rebar futures increased by 2.47% week - on - week, the settlement price of wire rod futures remained flat, the settlement price of cathode copper futures increased by 5.02% week - on - week, the cement price index decreased by 0.40% week - on - week, and the South China Glass Index decreased by 4.70% week - on - week. The CCFI index decreased by 0.62% week - on - week, and the BDI index increased by 9.92% week - on - week. In terms of food prices, the wholesale price of pork decreased by 0.84% week - on - week, and the wholesale price of vegetables increased by 3.31% week - on - week. The settlement prices of Brent crude oil futures and WTI crude oil futures increased by 0.09% and 1.91% respectively week - on - week. The central parity rate of the US dollar against the RMB was 7.07 last week [88]. 3.6 Market Outlook - The report maintains the judgment of a recovery market in December but expects the downward space of interest rates to be relatively limited. It is recommended to adopt a left - side layout configuration rhythm, prioritize switching positions to medium - and short - term treasury bonds and policy financial bonds, and pay attention to trading opportunities of secondary perpetual bonds of the same term. As the meeting window approaches, gradually increase the offensive nature of the portfolio, control the overall duration center of the portfolio within the medium - to long - term range of 5 - 7 years, and avoid high - congestion assets [3][92][93].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The bond market at the end of the year can be more optimistic. For the short - end, there is high configuration and trading value, and inter - bank certificates of deposit rates may decline unexpectedly at the end of the year. For the long - end, with the expansion of the term spread, there is room for repair, and the warming of trading sentiment may drive the long - end to re - price monetary easing, manifested as a limited compression of the term spread [3][5][19]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Can the Upward Trend of the Bond Market Continue? - **View Review**: The bond market in the fourth quarter may move in a volatile manner. The 30 - year minus 10 - year and 10 - year minus 1 - year treasury bond spreads have reflected the repair of risk preference. The liquidity, capital situation, and short - end interest rate valuations are reasonable, and the current bond market has allocation value. Supply pressure is about to ease, there may be an opportunity for monetary easing, and redemption pressure will persist. In a stable and loose capital environment, inter - bank certificates of deposit are in a high - configuration and high - trading value range and may decline unexpectedly at the end of the year [3][11]. - **Unexpected Bond Market Performance in Late October**: The repair of the bond market in the last week of October exceeded expectations. Some investors were surprised that the bond market remained stable after the broader market index stabilized at 4,000 points, and it seems that the buying power of trading accounts is continuously returning [3][11]. - **Central Bank Bond - Buying Restart**: It should be understood from the perspective of "continuation". The scale of net purchases may not exceed last year, and the increase in liquidity and buying power it provides may be limited. It should be understood more from the perspective of expectation repair and signaling. It can be regarded as a turning point for the re - warming of monetary easing expectations, which is a projection of trading sentiment. As the bond market trading sentiment is being repaired and the capital situation remains loose, the trading sentiment can be projected onto the expectation of monetary easing again [3][12][13]. - **Fading Negative Factors in the Bond Market**: The negative factors in the bond market at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year are gradually fading. The expectation of the pulling effect of the broad fiscal policy has been digested. Although the new policy - based financial instruments may have a greater pulling effect on investment demand than before, the bond market's expectation trading may be close to full. The impact of the local government bond scale and the public - offering fee rate new regulations may not be completely exhausted, but there is a basis for the repair of bond market sentiment [4][17][19]. 2. Risk Warning Not included as required.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October 2025, the decline of manufacturing PMI, weaker than the seasonal level and with weakening supply and demand, may indicate certain downward pressure on the Q4 economy [2][7]. - Both domestic and external demands declined, and price indicators did not continue the improvement trend of last month. The differentiated structure of "strong raw material prices and weak finished - product prices" may restrict the repair of corporate profits [2][7]. - The business climate of large enterprises fell below the boom - bust line, and the business climates of high - tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing industries significantly declined [2][7]. - The business climate of the non - manufacturing industry is mainly driven by holiday service consumption, and the overall expansion strength is still weak [2][7]. - The trading logic of the bond market in Q4 focuses on the weakening economic fundamentals and the expectation of monetary easing, and a repair market may be welcomed. It is expected that the yield of the active 10 - year treasury bond (tax - exempt) may decline to 1.65% - 1.7%, and the yield of the taxable bond may decline to 1.7% - 1.75% [2][7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event Description - In October 2025, the manufacturing PMI was 49.0%, a decrease of 0.8 pct from the previous month, lower than the Wind consensus forecast of 50.0%. The non - manufacturing business activity index slightly increased by 0.1 pct to 50.1%, slightly higher than the boom - bust line and lower than the Wind consensus forecast of 50.3%. Among them, the service industry business activity index was 50.2%, an increase of 0.1 pct, and the construction industry business activity index was 49.1%, a decrease of 0.2 pct [5]. 3.2 Event Comment - **Manufacturing PMI and economic pressure**: The manufacturing PMI in October 2025 fell back to a nearly two - year low. The production index and new order index decreased by 2.2 pct and 0.9 pct respectively to 49.7% and 48.8%. The procurement volume index decreased significantly by 2.6 pct to 49.0%, and the difference between the "finished - product inventory - on - hand orders" index widened by 0.6 pct to 3.6 pct. The weak pattern of production and demand was partly due to the pre - release of some demand before the National Day holiday and partly reflected the lack of endogenous momentum, indicating certain downward pressure on the Q4 economy [7]. - **Demand and price situation**: In October, external demand did not continue its resilience, and the new export order index significantly declined by 1.9 pct to 45.9%. The new order index for domestic demand also turned from rising to falling. The main raw material purchase price index and the ex - factory price index both decreased by 0.7 pct, recording 52.5% and 47.5% respectively. The difference between them remained at 5.0 pct, and the main raw material purchase price index was still in the expansion range. The "strong raw material prices and weak finished - product prices" structure may restrict the repair of corporate profits [7]. - **Enterprise and industry changes**: Among enterprises, the PMIs of large and small enterprises both fell by 1.1 pct to 49.9% and 47.1% respectively, and the PMI of medium - sized enterprises slightly fell by 0.1 pct to 48.7%. In terms of industries, the PMIs of high - tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing industries were 50.5% and 50.2% respectively, a decline of 1.1 pct and 1.7 pct from the previous month. The consumer goods industry remained in the expansion range, slightly falling by 0.5 pct to 50.1%, while the PMI of the basic raw material industry further dropped to 47.3%. The overall market expectation was optimistic, with the production and business activity expectation index at 52.8%, and the expectation indexes of industries such as non - ferrous metals and transportation equipment rising to the high - level boom range above 60% [7]. - **Non - manufacturing industry situation**: In October, the non - manufacturing PMI slightly increased by 0.1 pct to 50.1%, and the service industry PMI rose to 50.2%. The on - hand order index fell by 0.8 pct while the new order index remained flat, indicating that the holiday effect was the main driver. The business activity indexes of industries such as transportation, accommodation, and culture and entertainment were all in the high - level boom range above 60%, but industries such as real estate continued to be sluggish. The construction industry business activity index turned from rising to falling, decreasing by 0.2 pct to 49.1%, possibly dragged down by the slowdown of holiday construction and the decline of post - holiday real estate sales [7]. - **Bond market outlook**: Currently, the endogenous momentum for the repair of production and demand may be limited. On the day when the PMI data was released, the yield of the 10 - year treasury bond active bond decreased by 0.95 BP. The economic fundamentals still face a pattern of weak supply and demand, the pressure on enterprises for passive inventory replenishment continues, and the ex - factory - raw material price gap still restricts the repair of corporate profits. Although 500 billion yuan of new policy - based financial instruments have been put in place and local governments have an additional 200 billion yuan of special bond quotas, the sustainability of the recovery of real estate sales and the transmission effect of policy funds on infrastructure investment still need to be observed. The trading logic of the bond market in Q4 focuses on the weakening economic fundamentals and the expectation of monetary easing, and a repair market may be welcomed. It is expected that the yield of the active 10 - year treasury bond (tax - exempt) may decline to 1.65% - 1.7%, and the yield of the taxable bond may decline to 1.7% - 1.75% [7].

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in gold prices is attributed to improved US-China trade relations, which has reduced demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, while market focus shifts to the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision [1][2]. Group 1: Market Trends - On October 27, gold prices fell by 3.24%, trading at $3,971.08 per ounce, following a nine-week rally that saw prices peak above $4,300 due to geopolitical risks and monetary easing expectations [1]. - The recent drop in gold prices is linked to a preliminary agreement reached between US and Chinese officials during the ASEAN meetings, indicating a potential extension of the trade truce and reduced risks of renewed trade tensions [1][2]. Group 2: Economic Indicators - The upcoming week is significant for the gold market, with multiple central banks, including the Federal Reserve, expected to announce interest rate decisions, alongside the release of key economic data such as the September core PCE price index and Q3 US GDP figures [2]. - Market expectations for a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve are supported by weaker-than-expected US consumer price index (CPI) data, which may limit further declines in gold prices [2]. Group 3: Technical Analysis - Technical analysis indicates that gold has broken below the $4,000 support level, with further downward movement expected, targeting levels around $3,945 [2][4]. - The current trading strategy suggests a focus on short positions, with recommendations to sell on rebounds near the $4,004-$4,010 range, while potential long positions could be considered near $3,945-$3,950 [4].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles indicates a short-term decline in gold prices driven by profit-taking and reduced safe-haven demand, while long-term bullish sentiment remains strong due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and monetary policy conditions [4][5][6] - As of October 22, 2025, the gold ETF fund has seen a recent decline of 1.88%, but it has accumulated an increase of 8.82% over the past two weeks [3] - Goldman Sachs maintains a long-term price target of $4,900 per ounce for gold by the end of 2026, highlighting the growing market interest in gold's long-term allocation value [4] Group 2 - The recent short-term sell-off in gold is attributed to multiple factors, including easing trade tensions, a rebound in the US dollar index, and profit-taking by investors [4] - The World Gold Council emphasizes that the gold investment market is not saturated and remains in a relatively low allocation state compared to global stock market valuations, indicating ample growth potential [4][5] - The gold ETF fund has seen significant inflows, with a total of 73.47 billion yuan in net inflows over the past 13 days, averaging 5.65 billion yuan per day [7]
