1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For credit bonds, continue to focus on coupon hunting and maintain a 3 - year duration for in - depth exploration [8][9][10] - For convertible bonds, the sentiment is weak, and it is recommended to reserve positions and wait for right - side adding opportunities [11][32] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Credit & Convertible Bond Market Observation and Thinking 3.1.1 Credit Bonds - From June 2nd to June 8th, the primary issuance of credit bonds was 273.7 billion yuan, with a slight increase compared to the previous period. The total repayment amount was 147.5 billion yuan, a reduction of about 1/3 compared to the previous period, resulting in a net inflow of 126.2 billion yuan. The average coupon rates of AAA and AA+ grades were 1.99% and 2.18% respectively, remaining flat and decreasing by 27bp compared to the previous week [8] - Short - term yields of each grade increased slightly by about 1bp, with higher - grade bonds having a larger increase. Long - term yields generally decreased by about 2bp. The risk - free yield curve shifted downward by 2 - 3bp. Short - duration spreads of each grade generally widened by about 4bp, while medium - and long - term spreads fluctuated within ±1bp. The term spreads of each grade continued to narrow by about 2bp, with the 5Y - 1Y spreads of medium - and high - grade bonds narrowing by 4 - 5bp.

Group 1: Impact of Deposit Rate Cuts on Credit Bonds - The impact of deposit rate cuts on credit bond performance varies; if the cuts lead to a decline in policy rates, credit spreads typically widen, while if they precede rate cuts, spreads may narrow [1][9][10] - Historical analysis shows that after deposit rate cuts, the net buying power for credit bonds from funds and insurance is usually limited, indicating a weak immediate impact [1][15][9] - The short-term influence of deposit rate cuts on credit spreads is primarily driven by market sentiment and conditions rather than direct attribution to the event [1][15][9] Group 2: June Credit Bond Strategy - In June, the demand for credit bonds may weaken marginally, and the momentum for spread narrowing is expected to slow down due to seasonal trends [1][25][28] - The market is anticipated to remain volatile, with institutions focusing on high-yield bonds to potentially drive structural narrowing in credit spreads, although a trend compression is unlikely [1][25][28] - The liquidity environment is expected to be stable, with the central bank showing a strong willingness to support liquidity, which may help mitigate risks of significant capital outflows [1][28][26] Group 3: Sector-Specific Strategies - For urban investment bonds, focus on low-grade bonds within 3 years and medium to high-grade bonds in the 4-5 year range, particularly in regions with strong financial capabilities [2][3] - In the real estate sector, attention should be on AA-rated bonds from central and state-owned enterprises with maturities of 1-2 years, as lower-grade real estate bonds have shown significant spread compression [2][3] - For cyclical bonds, particularly coal and steel, a cautious approach is recommended, with a focus on high-grade issuers to avoid tail risks associated with declining market conditions [2][3]

Core Insights - The article discusses the anticipated delay of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts to Q4 2025, indicating a potential shift in the yield curve from a "bear steepening" to a "bull steepening" phase as market participants adjust their expectations for inflation and economic growth [3][10]. Group 1: Interest Rate Expectations - The market now expects the Federal Reserve to initiate rate cuts in Q4 2025, aligning with the company's assessment that rates could drop below 3% once the easing cycle begins [7]. - Current market pricing suggests a terminal rate of 3.35%, which is higher than the company's estimated reasonable rate of 2.75% [7]. - There is a 20% probability that the Federal Reserve will lower rates to below 2.25% by the end of 2026, based on risk-neutral distribution models [7]. Group 2: Yield Curve Dynamics - The yield curve is currently experiencing a "bear steepening" phase, with short-term rates stable while long-term rates rise due to supply pressures and concerns over fiscal sustainability [3][10]. - The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield is approaching a technical resistance level of 5%, which may provide temporary support for long-term rates, limiting further upward movement [3]. Group 3: Credit Market Insights - The credit spread of Chinese dollar-denominated bonds is influenced by U.S.-China trade tensions, with recent fluctuations reflecting market sensitivity to policy signals [11][12]. - The Peterson Institute reports that the average tariff on U.S. exports to China has risen to 126.5%, impacting the credit spread dynamics [12]. - Recent policy directions from China's central government aim to stimulate consumption and stabilize the real estate market, which may enhance risk appetite and affect credit spreads [14]. Group 4: Asset-Backed Securities - Major U.S. banks are showing caution in their demand for agency MBS, with a notable reduction in holdings as they navigate interest rate risks [19]. - The issuance of floating-rate and short-duration CMO securities has surged, indicating a defensive positioning by banks in a rate-sensitive environment [19]. - There is a growing preference for GNMA securities among banks due to their favorable capital treatment, despite expectations of regulatory changes [21].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - In May, the interest rate was in a volatile market, and the decline of the capital center opened up the carry trade space. Institutions chased credit products with relatively high coupon yields, and funds became the main buyers, driving the credit spreads to narrow across the board. The 3 - 5 - year medium - and low - grade bonds performed better. In June, the supply - demand pattern of credit bonds is unfavorable, and the cost - performance of credit bonds has declined, which may lead to the widening of credit spreads. It is not recommended to chase low - grade medium - and long - term bonds, but there is no need to rush to take profits on medium - and long - term credit bonds. Instead, consider taking profits in mid - to late July. In June, when the coupon and credit spreads are both at low levels, it is appropriate to explore the riding opportunities of medium - and high - grade varieties, especially the 4 - year medium - and high - grade bonds. [1][2][24] - For bank capital bonds, the cost - performance of long - term large - bank capital bonds for insurance institutions is still low, and the allocation demand is difficult to recover in the short term. It may depend more on the start of the trading market. In the process of waiting, coupon assets can still be pursued, and there is still cost - performance in sinking the credit of medium - and short - term bonds. [3] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. June Credit: Sinking within 3 Years and Riding Medium - and High - Grade Bonds 1.1. It is not advisable to chase high for low - grade medium - and long - term bonds. Explore the riding opportunities of medium - and high - grade 4 - year bonds - In May, the bond market was defensive, and the long - end interest rate fluctuated. The decline of the capital center opened up the carry trade space, and funds became the main buyers of credit bonds, driving the credit spreads to narrow across the board. The 3 - 5 - year medium - and low - grade bonds in urban investment bonds performed better, with yields down 12 - 16bp and credit spreads narrowing 12 - 18bp. [8][9] - In June, the demand for credit bonds is facing a decline in the scale of wealth management products at the end of the quarter, while the supply side will see an increase in issuance and net financing month - on - month. The unfavorable supply - demand pattern and the decline in the cost - performance of credit bonds may lead to the widening of credit spreads. [13][16] - In May, the market for low - grade 3 - 5 - year bonds was extreme. There is no need to rush to take profits on medium - and long - term credit bonds in June, but it is not recommended to chase low - grade medium - and long - term bonds. [22][24] - In June, when the coupon and credit spreads are at low levels, it is appropriate to explore the riding opportunities of medium - and high - grade varieties. The current convex point is at the 4 - year term, and the 4 - year medium - and high - grade urban investment bonds are worth deploying. It is also possible to consider replacing 5 - year bonds with similar 4 - year bonds to improve the risk - return ratio of the portfolio. In addition, 3 - year AA(2) and AA urban investment bonds have both coupon income and liquidity and can be used as defensive investment products. [29][30][33] 1.2. Bank capital bonds are waiting for the start of the trading market - In May, institutions valued the coupon cost - performance when allocating bank capital bonds. Medium - and small - bank capital bonds and AA - perpetual bonds with coupon advantages performed better, while the performance of 1 - year large - bank capital bonds and 4 - 5 - year AAA - bank capital bonds was poor. [36] - The cost - performance of long - term large - bank capital bonds for insurance institutions is still low, and the allocation demand is difficult to recover in the short term. The performance of long - term large - bank capital bonds may depend more on the start of the interest - rate bond trading market. In the process of waiting, coupon assets can still be pursued, and there is cost - performance in sinking the credit of medium - and short - term bonds. [38][45] 2. Urban Investment Bonds: The Issuance Interest Rates Have Declined across the Board, and the Buying Interest Remains High - In May, the issuance scale of urban investment bonds continued to decline year - on - year, and the net financing was negative, but the overall issuance sentiment was good. The proportion of 3 - 5 - year issuance continued to rise slightly, and the issuance interest rates of all terms declined, with relatively large declines in the medium - and short - term. [48][49] - The secondary - market buying interest in urban investment bonds was high in May, but the trading sentiment declined in the last week. The trading volume was gradually extended in terms of duration, and the low - grade varieties had a high proportion of trading volume. [58] - The yields of public urban investment bonds in each province declined in May, with the 2 - 3 - year medium - and low - grade bonds performing better. [60] 3. Industrial Bonds: Both Issuance and Net Financing Increased Year - on - Year, and the Yields Declined across the Board - In May, the issuance and net financing of industrial bonds increased year - on - year. The industries with large net financing scales include comprehensive, building decoration, chemical, and transportation industries. The proportion of issuance within 1 year increased significantly, and the issuance interest rates within 3 years declined significantly, while the 3 - 5 - year issuance interest rates increased slightly. [62][64] - The yields of industrial bonds declined across the board in May. Low - grade bonds with coupon advantages and 7 - year medium - and high - grade bonds performed better. The yields of public bonds in each industry declined by 7 - 21bp, with 1 - year AA, 1 - 3 - year AA + and AA performing better. [65][69] 4. Bank Capital Bonds: Low - Grade Bonds Performed Better, and the Trading Sentiment Was Weak - In May 2025, the issuance scale of bank capital bonds increased year - on - year, but due to the large amount of maturity redemptions, the net financing scale decreased year - on - year. [72] - The yields of bank capital bonds generally declined in May, and most of the credit spreads narrowed. Low - grade perpetual bonds performed better, while large - bank capital bonds performed weakly. [76]

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the bond market outlook for June 2025, highlighting the current state of the real estate market and its implications for the bond market [1][4][5]. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Current Market Conditions**: The bond market is experiencing narrow fluctuations, making it difficult to find trend-based opportunities. Investors are advised to adopt a longer time horizon and actively implement the 97 strategy to gain capital gains and coupon income [1][3]. 2. **Real Estate Market Impact**: The ongoing downward pressure in the real estate market, particularly in first-tier cities, is expected to support the bond market. The number of second-hand homes listed has decreased, and while restrictive policies may ease, transaction and new construction data remain weak, indicating macroeconomic pressure [1][4]. 3. **Monetary Policy Outlook**: Following an unexpected tightening of the funding environment in Q1 2025, the central bank is unlikely to further tighten monetary policy. Factors such as the real estate downturn and external pressures from the US-China tariff conflict contribute to this outlook [1][6]. 4. **Institutional Behavior**: There is a persistent marginal pressure on credit due to insufficient lending and a lack of non-standard investments. Institutions are inclined to eliminate yield convexity, making high-positioning strategies important [1][7]. 5. **Investment Strategy**: For June, while the bond market has a high probability of success, the potential returns are limited. Over the next two to three months, returns may be constrained, but a medium to long-term view supports maintaining a mid-to-high duration 97 strategy to achieve excess returns [1][8]. 6. **Changes in Institutional Behavior**: In H1 2025, institutions have adjusted their investment behaviors due to low interest rates and tightening liquidity. Funds and wealth management products have increased their allocation to 1-5 year credit bonds and secondary capital bonds [1][9][10]. Additional Important Insights 1. **Credit Spread Trends**: The credit spread in the credit bond market has been relatively high, with mainstream credit bond varieties showing a difference of 20 to 40 basis points compared to August 2024. The market has experienced three phases of credit spread movement this year [15]. 2. **Future Market Dynamics**: Looking ahead to H2 2025, factors such as changes in US-China relations, economic fundamentals, and potential policy announcements from the Political Bureau meeting in July could create volatility in the market [11][12]. 3. **Investment Recommendations**: Investors are encouraged to focus on city investment bonds, particularly in provinces like Tianjin and Chongqing, and to explore opportunities in coal, steel, and state-owned enterprises in real estate through short-term coupon digging or increasing duration operations [2][16]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the bond market outlook and investment strategies for the upcoming months.
