1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the bond market is "volatile" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Imposing VAT on treasury bond interest is bearish for the bond market in the long run. The theoretical negative impact on the 10Y treasury bond rate is about 10BP, but the actual impact should be less than the theoretical value [1][9] - The policy will cause price differentiation between new and old bond varieties in the short term, and existing bonds will gain a scarcity premium due to the tax - exemption advantage [1][9] - The policy will affect the CTD bonds of treasury bond futures, and the probability of CTD bond switching varies among different contracts [1] - The inter - period spread of treasury bond futures will be affected by the policy, and different strategies are recommended for different contracts [2][16][17] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Impact of Treasury Bond Interest Taxation on CTD Switching - **Policy Purpose**: The main purpose of imposing VAT on treasury bond interest is to improve the bond market price formation mechanism, and increasing fiscal revenue is a relatively secondary goal [8] - **Long - term Impact on the Bond Market**: After taxation, the coupon attractiveness of treasury bonds decreases, institutional bond - allocation willingness declines, and some funds flow to risk assets, leading to a decrease in bond - market sentiment. Newly issued bonds need to increase the coupon rate to compensate for the tax cost [9] - **Impact on CTD Bonds**: The CTD bonds of different contracts have different probabilities of switching to new bonds. For example, the CTD bonds of TL contracts are unlikely to switch; the 09 contracts of T, TF, and TS are also unlikely to switch; T2512 has a certain probability of switching; T2603 and TS2603 have a high probability of switching, and TF2603 has a certain probability of switching [1][12][15] 3.2 Impact of Treasury Bond Interest Taxation on Inter - period Spreads and Strategy Recommendations - **TL Contracts**: The spread of TL09 - 12 contracts has widened. The current spread has basically priced in existing factors, and subsequent trends are more affected by market sentiment. The spread is expected to rise in shock [16] - **T Contracts**: The T09 - 12 spread is high. A narrowing strategy has a certain cost - effectiveness, but continuous narrowing is not recommended. Short - term opportunities can be sought when the bond - market sentiment recovers [17] - **TF and TS Contracts**: The cost - effectiveness of the narrowing strategy for TF and TS09 - 12 contracts is lower than that of T contracts. If the market sentiment is weak, the inter - period spread may rise slightly [20][21] - **12 - 03 Contracts**: The arbitrage strategy for 12 - 03 contracts is not recommended. The 03 contracts have low liquidity, and the CTD bonds of most 2603 contracts have a high probability of switching to new bonds, resulting in a high theoretical central spread [26] - **Long - term Trend**: The central spread of inter - period spreads will gradually rise. The long - term upward logic of treasury bonds is changing, and the cost - effectiveness of going long on treasury bonds has decreased [27]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The resumption of VAT collection on bonds has a short - term positive and long - term negative impact on the bond market, but the overall impact is controllable. In the short term, the cost - performance of existing bonds and credit bonds has increased, and the bond market has risen stage by stage. In the long term, it may be unfavorable to the bond market. The probability of the bond market breaking through the previous low has decreased, and it may still fluctuate in the range of 1.65% - 1.70%. Attention should be paid to the primary issuance rate of new bonds after August 8 and the impact of macro factors on the risk preference of the bond market [2]. - When summarizing the views of fixed - income sellers on the resumption of VAT collection, there are bullish, neutral/ bearish views. Half of the fixed - income sellers are bullish on the bond market this week, but the sentiment has declined compared with last week. The sentiment of fixed - income buyers is relatively cautious, and nearly 70% are neutral [3]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Seller and Buyer Markets 1.1 Seller Market Sentiment Index and Interest - rate Bonds - The weighted index of the seller sentiment this week is 0.33, and the unweighted index is 0.47, both showing a decline compared with last week. The current institutions generally hold a neutral - to - bullish view, with 15 bullish, 14 neutral, and 1 bearish. 50% of the institutions are bullish, and 47% are neutral, and 3% are bearish [13]. 1.2 Buyer Market Sentiment Index and Interest - rate Bonds - The weighted sentiment index of buyers this week is 0.08, and the unweighted index is 0.11, with the unweighted index decreasing by 0.08 compared with last week. Currently, institutions generally hold a neutral - to - bullish view, with 6 bullish, 19 neutral, and 3 bearish. 21% of the institutions are bullish, 68% are neutral, and 11% are bearish [14]. 1.3 Credit Bonds - Market hot topics include preventive redemptions of wealth management products and a decline in the scale of credit - bond ETFs. The preventive redemptions of wealth management products are due to the central bank's continuous net withdrawal and tightened capital, leading to selling pressure on credit bonds. The growth of credit - bond ETFs has slowed down, and the subsequent increase in ETFs may fall short of expectations [19]. 1.4 Convertible Bonds - Institutions generally hold a neutral - to - bullish view this week, with 10 bullish and 3 neutral. 77% of the institutions are bullish, and 23% are neutral [22]. 2. Treasury Bond Futures Tracking 2.1 Futures Trading - As of August 1, the prices of TS/TF/T/TL contracts of treasury bonds have all increased, while the trading volume, open interest, and trading - to - open - interest ratio have all decreased [26][27]. 2.2 Spot Bond Trading - On August 1, the turnover rates of 30 - year treasury bonds and interest - rate bonds decreased, while the turnover rate of 10 - year China Development Bank bonds increased [32][36]. 2.3 Basis Trading - As of August 1, the basis and net basis of the main contracts have all narrowed, and the IRR has generally increased [41][44]. 2.4 Inter - delivery Spread and Inter - variety Spread - The inter - delivery spread of the TL contract has widened, while the spreads of other main contracts have narrowed. Among the inter - variety spreads, except for the 2*TF - T contract, the spreads of other main contracts have narrowed [51][52].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral [3] - Inter - period: Do reverse spreads on the MA09 - 01 inter - period spread when it is high [3] - Inter - variety: Narrow the PP01 - 3MA01 spread when it is high [3] Core View - Overseas methanol production remains at a high level, resulting in significant pressure on Chinese imports and a continuous inventory build - up at ports. The short - term reality at ports is weak, but the market anticipates a substantial scale of overseas gas - based methanol maintenance in the fourth quarter, leading to an optimistic long - term outlook. Inland coal - based methanol is undergoing short - term maintenance, reducing supply. Although the traditional downstream formaldehyde market is in a seasonal off - season, the开工 rates of MTBE and acetic acid are decent, indicating strong inland demand. As a result, the inventory build - up rate at inland methanol factories is slow, and the inland market is stronger than the port market [2] Summary by Directory 1. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents multiple figures related to methanol basis, including methanol basis in Taicang, different regions' spot - to - futures basis, and inter - period spreads between different methanol futures contracts [6][10][21] 2. Methanol Production Profit, MTO Profit, and Import Profit - Figures show the production profit of inland coal - based methanol, MTO profit in East China, and import spreads such as the difference between Taicang methanol and CFR China, as well as price differences between CFR Southeast Asia, FOB US Gulf, FOB Rotterdam, and CFR China [25][33] 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral [3] - Inter - period: Do reverse spreads on the MA09 - 01 inter - period spread when it is high [3] - Inter - variety: Narrow the PP01 - 3MA01 spread when it is high [3] Core Viewpoints - Overseas methanol production is operating at a high level, and the pressure of methanol arriving at Chinese ports remains high, leading to a stockpiling cycle at ports. The Xingxing MTO maintenance plan is yet to be implemented. If it is carried out smoothly, port demand will be further affected. Although the short - term situation at ports is weak, the market expects a significant scale of overseas gas - based methanol maintenance in the fourth quarter, which makes the long - term outlook optimistic [2] - In the inland region, short - term maintenance of inland coal - based methanol has led to a decline in supply. Although the formaldehyde in traditional downstream industries is in a seasonal off - season, the operating rates of MTBE and acetic acid are acceptable. The demand in the inland region remains resilient, and the inventory rebuilding rate of inland methanol factories is still slow. The inland market is stronger than the port market [2] Summary by Directory I. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents figures related to methanol basis in different regions (such as methanol in Taicang, Lunan, Inner Mongolia North Line, etc.) compared with the main futures contract, and inter - period spreads between different methanol futures contracts (such as 01 - 05, 05 - 09, 09 - 01) [6][10][21] II.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - BZ futures maintain a large premium, reflecting the contango structure of high - inventory pricing. The strong downstream demand for pure benzene has led to a decline in pure benzene port inventory from its high level. However, the supply pressure from South Korea's exports to China and high domestic production have kept the pure benzene processing fee in a weak consolidation. For styrene, the port inventory has further increased, and the EB basis has further declined. Domestic EB maintains high - level production, while the demand is dragged down by the low operation rates of EPS and PS [3]. Summary by Catalog 1. Pure Benzene and EB's Basis Structure, Inter - period Spread - Relevant data includes pure benzene's main basis, the spread between pure benzene spot and M2 paper goods, the spread between the first - and third - consecutive contracts of pure benzene, the trend and basis of the EB main contract, and the spread between the first - and third - consecutive contracts of styrene [8][12][17] 2. Production Profits and Domestic - Foreign Spreads of Pure Benzene and Styrene - It involves data such as naphtha processing fee, the price difference between pure benzene FOB South Korea and naphtha CFR Japan, the production profit of non - integrated styrene plants, and the import profits of pure benzene and styrene [21][23][28] 3. Inventory and Operation Rates of Pure Benzene and Styrene - Pure benzene's East China port inventory and operation rate are presented, along with styrene's East China port inventory, commercial inventory, factory inventory, and operation rate [34][36][39] 4. Operation and Production Profits of Styrene's Downstream - Data on the operation rates and production profits of EPS, PS, and ABS are provided [45][49][50] 5.
