Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating [1][2] Core Viewpoints - The short - term fluctuations caused by current policies are constrained within the interest rate central framework, and the bond market will return to the fundamentals in the medium term after short - term negative shocks [2][19] - In the context of continued loose funding, the bond market is expected to maintain an oscillation range of 1.65% - 1.75%. A decline below 1.65% or a new low requires a substantial domestic interest rate cut, so whether the Fed cuts interest rates in September is an important variable [2][19] Summary by Directory 1. Interest Rate Bond Last Week's Data Review - **Funding Rates**: DR001 remained at around 1.31% with a 1BP weekly fluctuation; R001 was around 1.35% and closed at 1.34% on August 8th with a 1BP weekly fluctuation.

The 6 - month SOFR rate in the US dropped from 4.10% on August 4th to 4.06% on August 8th, while the 6 - month SHIBOR rate in China remained stable at 1.61%. As of August 8th, the 6 - month interest rate spread was - 245BP with a slightly reduced inversion. The 2 - year and 10 - year bond yield spreads were - 236BP and - 258BP respectively, with a slightly increased inversion in the short - and long - term spreads [13] - **Term Spreads**: The term spreads of Chinese bonds and US bonds both slightly expanded. The 10 - 2 year spread of Chinese bonds increased from 28BP to 29BP; the 10 - 2 year spread of US bonds expanded by 1BP to 51BP [15] - **Interest Rate Term Structure**: The yield curve of Chinese bonds shifted downward by about 2BP - 3BP; the yield curve of US bonds flattened, with most maturities rising except for the 3 - month maturity, and the mid - term callback was relatively large [15] 2. Narrowing of CPI and PPI Month - on - Month Declines - **CPI**: In July, the year - on - year CPI was flat, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. The food item of CPI was - 1.6% year - on - year, down 1.3 percentage points from the previous month, while the non - food item was 0.3% year - on - year, up 0.3 percentage points from the previous month. The core CPI increased by 0.8% year - on - year, with the growth rate expanding for three consecutive months. The month - on - month CPI rose from - 0.1% to 0.4%, the highest since February this year. Service consumption, driven by the summer tourism season, had a significant month - on - month increase [20][21] - **PPI**: In July, the year - on - year decline of PPI remained at 3.6%, and the month - on - month decline narrowed by 0.2 percentage points to - 0.2%, the first narrowing since March this year. The narrowing of PPI month - on - month mainly relied on the recovery of producer goods ex - factory prices. The month - on - month decline in prices of multiple industries narrowed, which was consistent with the increase in commodity prices [28] 3. Key Bond Market Events Last Week - **US Employment Data and Fed Rate - Cut Probability**: The US non - farm payrolls in July increased by 73,000, lower than the expected 110,000, and the unemployment rate was 4.2%. The poor employment data increased the probability of a Fed rate cut in September [30] - **Bond Market Underwriting Regulations**: On August 7th, a notice on strengthening self - discipline management of bond underwriting quotes in the inter - bank bond market was issued, stating that lead underwriters should not bid for bond projects with underwriting fees below cost [32]

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government will reinstate value-added tax (VAT) on interest income from newly issued government bonds, local government bonds, and financial bonds starting from August 8, 2025, while existing bonds issued before this date will remain exempt from VAT until maturity [1][3]. Group 1: Tax Policy Changes - The VAT rates are set at 6% for financial institutions (e.g., banks, insurance companies) and 3% for asset management products (e.g., public funds, brokerage asset management) [3][4]. - For example, a newly issued 1 million yuan 10-year government bond with a coupon rate of 1.7% will yield an annual interest of 17,000 yuan, leading to a tax liability of 1,020 yuan for banks and 510 yuan for public funds [4][6]. Group 2: Impact on Different Investors - The policy primarily affects institutional investors, particularly banks, which hold 70% of government debt, as they will face increased tax burdens [6][7]. - Individual investors, whose monthly interest income from government bonds is below the 100,000 yuan tax exemption threshold, will not be affected by the VAT [6][8]. Group 3: Rationale Behind the Policy - The reinstatement of VAT is aimed at addressing the overheating of the bond market, which has grown from 63 trillion yuan to 183 trillion yuan over the past decade, and to restore fairness between interest-bearing bonds and credit bonds [7][8]. - The government is also facing rising fiscal pressures, particularly due to declining land sale revenues, necessitating new tax revenues, which could amount to 34 billion yuan in the short term and potentially reach 100 billion yuan annually in the long term [7][8]. Group 4: Economic Implications - The tax on bond interest is seen as a mechanism to encourage funds to flow out of low-risk assets like government bonds and into equities, real estate, and consumption, thereby stimulating the economy [8][9]. - The policy signals potential future tax reforms, including the introduction of inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and property tax, as part of broader fiscal strategies [8][12].

Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in margin trading balance in the A-share market, surpassing 20 trillion yuan for the first time since 2015, indicates a significant increase in market activity and investor engagement [2][4][9]. Group 1: Margin Trading Balance Trends - The margin trading balance reached 20,002.6 billion yuan on August 5, 2023, and increased to 20,131.3 billion yuan by August 7, 2023, with a financing balance of 19,989.2 billion yuan and a securities lending balance of 142.1 billion yuan [2]. - Compared to 2015, the current margin trading balance represents a lower proportion of the A-share market's total market capitalization, which has grown significantly over the past decade [2][4]. - The current margin trading balance has increased more steadily, taking nearly a year to rise by 600 billion yuan, contrasting with the rapid increase seen from 2014 to 2015 [4][9]. Group 2: Investor Behavior and Market Dynamics - Investors are diversifying their holdings, with a preference for emerging industries and growth-oriented sectors such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and high-end manufacturing, rather than concentrating on financial and real estate sectors as seen in 2015 [4][9]. - The recent increase in margin trading is supported by a series of stabilizing policies implemented since September 24, 2022, which have improved investor sentiment and reduced financing costs [9][10]. Group 3: Capital Market Conditions - The A-share market is experiencing a significant influx of retail investor capital, driven by a combination of increased savings and a lack of high-yield investment options, indicating a potential for further market growth [11][19]. - The dividend yield of the CSI 300 index stands at 2.8%, which is significantly higher than the 10-year government bond yield, suggesting strong potential for returns in the A-share market [19][21]. - Institutional investors, including public funds, are currently holding a historically low position in A-shares, indicating room for increased investment in the future [25][27].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that in a persistently low interest rate environment, there is a shift in asset allocation towards "equity-related" products as traditional low-risk assets yield diminishing returns [1][2] - Low-risk asset returns have significantly declined, with money market funds nearing an annualized yield of 1%, and most bank wealth management products yielding around 2% [1] - The rise of "equity-related" products is evident, with secondary bond funds and "fixed income plus" funds gaining popularity, as seen in the rapid fundraising success of various bond funds [1][2] Group 2 - The shift towards "fixed income plus" funds is driven by the long-term low-risk yield environment, which raises concerns about "asset scarcity" and pushes funds towards higher-yielding options [2] - Regulatory changes have dismantled the expectation of guaranteed returns from bank wealth management products, leading to increased volatility and a clearer risk-return profile for public funds [2] - The reforms in the capital market over recent years have enhanced the attractiveness of equity assets, fostering long-term investor confidence [2] Group 3 - Strategic allocation to equity assets is essential for preserving real purchasing power, rather than merely chasing short-term trends [3] - Investors are advised to consider their risk tolerance and investment horizon when incorporating equity assets, potentially through methods like index fund dollar-cost averaging or selecting high-quality actively managed funds [3]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The ultra - long - term credit bond market has strong supply and demand in the primary market, and the issuance scale in 2025 may exceed 1 trillion yuan. The secondary market trading volume has increased significantly, but the buying sentiment has room for repair. It is recommended to pay attention to the allocation and trading opportunities of ultra - long - term credit bonds [2][8][48] - According to the credit spread percentile, the compression degree of the ultra - long - term credit bond spread is not as low as last year. The low - valuation transaction volume and TKN volume in the secondary market have rebounded, but the bullish sentiment in the bond market has declined, indicating that the buying sentiment has room for repair. The "asset shortage" may drive the market to long - duration assets [2][48] - The allocation value of ultra - long - term credit bonds is ranked as 15Y>20Y>10Y>30Y. Some issuers of industrial bonds, urban investment bonds, and bank secondary capital bonds are recommended for investors' reference [3][50][56] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Increment and Stock of Ultra - long - term Credit Bonds 1.1 Increment: Strong Supply and Demand in Primary New Issuance - Supply side: Since early 2023, the issuance interest rate of credit bonds has been in a downward channel, and the issuance cost has decreased, which has attracted more issuers. The issuance scale in 2024 was 1.21 trillion yuan, and the issuance in the second half of the year is usually faster. The issuance scale in 2025 may exceed 1 trillion yuan [7][8] - Demand side: Since early 2021, the primary subscription multiple of ultra - long - term credit bonds has shown an overall upward trend. From late 2023 to July 2024, the subscription multiple increased steeply; from August 2024 to Q1 2025, it decreased rapidly; since April 2025, it has rebounded [10][12][13] 1.2 Stock: Analysis from Different Perspectives - By original issuance term: 10Y and 15Y are the mainstream issuance terms. The balance of bonds with a term of ≥20Y accounts for less than 10% of the total [15] - By implied rating: High - rated bonds account for a high proportion, with AAA -, AAA, and AAA+ bonds accounting for 81% of the total [16] - By bond type: Medium - term notes, bank capital bonds, and corporate bonds have the highest stock balances, accounting for 96% of the total [18] - By industry distribution: The stock scale of industrial bonds>bank secondary capital bonds>urban investment bonds.

In the first half of 2025, the low - valuation transaction deviation of ultra - long - term industrial bonds, urban investment bonds, and bank perpetual bonds has narrowed compared with the same period last year [30][31] 3. Who Buys Ultra - long - term Credit Bonds? - Banks have been net sellers of ultra - long - term credit bonds since 2025, mainly due to underwriting and regulatory restrictions [37] - Insurance companies, wealth management subsidiaries, and wealth management products are the main allocation funds for ultra - long - term credit bonds this year. Insurance companies show a "buy low, sell high" strategy, and wealth management products have strong allocation attributes [37][39] - Fund companies and products have stronger trading attributes. They were net sellers during the bond market adjustment in Q1 2025 and have significantly increased their allocation since March [39] 4. Investment Recommendations - Based on the credit spread and secondary market trading sentiment, it is recommended to pay attention to the allocation and trading opportunities of ultra - long - term credit bonds [48] - The allocation value of ultra - long - term credit bonds is ranked as 15Y>20Y>10Y>30Y [50] - Some issuers of industrial bonds, urban investment bonds, and bank secondary capital bonds are recommended, such as Chengtong Holdings, Shenzhen Metro, etc. [56]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market continued its recovery this week, with most interest rates declining to varying degrees, especially short - term and credit interest rates. The short - term interest rate's further downward breakthrough momentum is weak, and the bond market may experience short - term phased oscillations, with the subsequent interest rate more likely to break through downward [1][4] - Although other markets and some policies have short - term impacts on the bond market, the continuous loosening of funds provides protection, and the overall pattern of asset shortage in the bond market remains unchanged [2][3][4] Group 3: Summary by Related Content Bond Market Current Situation - This week, the bond market continued its recovery, with short - term and credit interest rates declining more significantly. The 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit rate dropped 1.8bps to 1.62%, and the 1 - year and 5 - year AAA - secondary capital bonds decreased by 2.7bps and 0.7bps respectively. The 10 - year Treasury bond rate fell 1.7bps to 1.69%, while the 30 - year Treasury bond rate rose slightly by 1.1bps to 1.96%. The 10 - year Treasury bond rate has recovered most of its decline from the impact of the stock and commodity markets [1][8] Factors Restraining the Downward Breakthrough of Interest Rates - Other markets still suppress the bond market sentiment. The recent strong performance of the stock market affects the bond market sentiment, especially long - term bonds. The 30 - year Treasury bond has been weak recently due to this factor [2][9] - Institutional caution and the implementation of some growth - stabilizing policies will short - term constrain the bullish forces. In the second quarter of this year, the duration of funds increased significantly, and high positions made institutions operate more cautiously. The relaxation of purchase restrictions in Beijing may also affect the downward force of interest rates [2][11] Factors Protecting the Bond Market - The continuous loosening of funds provides market protection, making it difficult for interest rates to rise significantly. The overnight interest rate is around 1.3%, and R007 is around 1.4%, protecting the overall market. During the market recovery since July 29, short - term interest rates have declined more significantly [3][11] - In the future, funds will remain loose. Financing demand may continue to slow down, government bond supply will decrease, and fund supply is sufficient. The central bank has stated that it will maintain ample liquidity [3][12] Future Outlook for the Bond Market - The bond market may experience short - term phased oscillations. As the fundamentals and asset supply - demand change, the interest rate is more likely to break through downward. From the fundamental perspective, low interest rates are needed to boost domestic demand, and from the asset supply - demand perspective, the decrease in asset supply and continuous loosening of funds will increase the pressure of asset shortage [4][13] - After the phased cooling of the stock and commodity markets, the 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bonds may oscillate when approaching the pre - adjustment levels of 1.65% and 1.85%. Subsequently, as the fundamentals change and the asset shortage evolves, the interest rate may break through downward, more likely near or in the fourth quarter [4][18]

The "H22 Guohou 1" issued by Guohou Asset Management Co., Ltd. defaulted, and the "H6 Chuying 02" issued by Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group Co., Ltd. was extended [40]. 3.4 Investment Recommendations - This week, there were 1.6632 trillion yuan of reverse repurchases due in the open market, and the central bank conducted 1.1267 trillion yuan of reverse repurchase operations, resulting in a net withdrawal of 536.5 billion yuan for the whole week. The DR001 dropped from 1.34% at the Monday close to 1.29%. The active 10 - year Treasury bond showed no significant change from last Friday's close, fluctuating around 1.69%. Generally, the credit spreads of most industries and ratings narrowed to varying degrees, and only a few industries' credit spreads widened slightly. For urban investment bonds, the credit spreads of those within 1 year compressed slightly, while the spreads of other terms widened slightly. For industrial bonds, the credit spreads fluctuated slightly within 5 BP overall, and the long - end spreads were under pressure for adjustment. For bank capital bonds, the credit spreads of bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds showed differentiation, but the overall fluctuation range was not large [42]. - The redemption of bond funds eased this week, and the new tax policy increased the cost - effectiveness of general credit bonds, which was a short - term positive for long - duration credit bonds. From the perspective of credit spread positions, the long - end risk - free interest rate has been in a downward channel since July 2024, and the yields of ultra - long - term credit bonds followed suit. The credit spreads reached an extreme in July last year, and currently, the compression of ultra - long - term credit bond spreads has not reached last year's low. From the perspective of secondary trading sentiment, the proportion of low - valuation transaction volumes and TKN transactions has increased this year. However, affected by the strong equity market in July and the sharp rise in commodity futures prices catalyzed by the "anti - involution" sentiment, the bullish sentiment in the bond market has declined, indicating that there is room for the buying sentiment to recover. In addition, with the concentrated listing of Sci - tech Innovation Bond ETFs on July 17th, the spreads of medium - and short - end component bonds have been compressed to an extreme. Driven by the "asset shortage" in the low - interest - rate environment this year, the market trend may further develop towards long - duration assets [43]. - From the timing signal of ultra - long - term credit bonds, using the spread between the yield to maturity of AAA+ ChinaBond Medium - and Short - Term Notes and the Treasury bond rate of the same term as the observation object and constructing a Bollinger Band with the 60 - day average spread ± 2 standard deviations, as of August 8th, the 10 - year spread touched the 60 - day moving average but did not form an effective breakthrough; the 15 - year and 20 - year spreads have effectively broken through the average and touched the upper limit of the channel since the adjustment in late July; the 30 - year spread is still hovering near the lower limit of the channel without an obvious trend. In terms of the term structure, the 15 - 20 - year ultra - long - term credit bonds have relatively high cost - effectiveness after the adjustment catalyzed by the "anti - involution" market. The ranking of the allocation value of ultra - long - term credit bonds from high to low is 15Y > 20Y > 10Y > 30Y [44]. - Specifically, issuers with relatively large outstanding volumes, more than 50 cumulative transactions from January 1st to August 5th, and a weighted average yield to call of over 2% in industrial bonds, urban investment bonds, and bank Tier 2 capital bonds are recommended. In industrial bonds, State Grid Corporation of China has the largest outstanding volume of ultra - long - term credit bonds and active trading, but its yield level is relatively low. China Chengtong Holdings Group Co., Ltd., Sinochem Group Co., Ltd., Aluminum Corporation of China Limited, and Guangzhou Yuexiu Group Co., Ltd. have both yield levels and activity, and are relatively more cost - effective. In urban investment bonds, most have better static coupon rates than industrial bonds, but the range of available outstanding bonds is relatively narrow. Attention can be paid to the further compression opportunities of the spreads of ultra - long - term bonds of issuers such as Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Transportation Holding Group Co., Ltd., Yantai Guofeng Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., and Sichuan Expressway Construction and Development Group Co., Ltd. In bank Tier 2 capital bonds, the outstanding ultra - long - term bonds are mainly concentrated in several large state - owned and joint - stock commercial banks, and their yield levels are relatively less cost - effective compared to industrial and urban investment bonds [49].
