1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Bonds remain a weak asset currently. At the end of September, first focus on changes in the funding situation and the equity market, and approach with a cautious mindset. Also, look ahead to the main - line switching process in the fourth quarter. In 2025, the bond market switched to a relatively clear main - line logic each quarter, and the main - line logic weakened at the end of each quarter. The trading main - line in the fourth quarter may switch to institutional behavior changes and interest - rate cut expectations successively, and the yield curve may show a pattern of steepening first and then flattening [17][18][19] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Funds Price: Tightening of Quarter - End Funding - From September 19th to September 25th, the central bank made a net open - market injection of nearly 60 billion yuan. On September 22nd, it conducted 30 billion yuan of 14 - day reverse repurchase operations. During the statistical period, the overall funds price increased, with the DR007 rising to 1.6%, the R007 rising to 1.8%, and the 1 - year inter - bank certificate of deposit yield rising to 1.7%, the highest since early June [8] 3.2 Primary Market: Increase in Special Bond Issuance Scale - From September 19th to September 25th, 119 interest - rate bonds were issued in the primary market, with an actual issuance total of 708.6 billion yuan and a net financing amount of 77.2 billion yuan. On September 19th, 82 billion yuan of 30 - year special treasury bonds were re - issued at a price of 99.67 yuan, with an annual yield of 2.17%, higher than the secondary - market transaction price. The issuance scale of local special bonds increased seasonally at the end of the month. As of September 25th, 1.23 trillion yuan of ultra - long - term special treasury bonds had been issued in 2025, with about 70 billion yuan remaining to be issued; 3.66 trillion yuan of new local special bonds had been issued, with about 240 billion yuan remaining to be issued [10][11] 3.3 Secondary Market: Uptick in Yield Curve - From September 19th to September 25th, the treasury bond yield curve rose again, with increased intraday volatility. The main constraint on the bond market during this statistical period came from the news front. The market expected that the redemption fee adjustment for public bond funds was imminent, which led institutions to actively redeem bond funds. Additionally, the stock - bond seesaw effect still existed, and the relatively strong and volatile equity market also dampened bond market sentiment [12] 3.4 Market Outlook - **Fundamentals**: The bond market currently has low sensitivity to fundamentals. From an asset - allocation perspective, weak fundamentals imply a low return rate in the real economy. However, in the stage of low bond coupons and capital losses, bond - type assets also struggle to provide higher comprehensive returns, so the bond market's sensitivity to fundamentals has declined [17] - **Policy**: Incremental policies will mainly cover three directions. First, after the release of August economic data, market expectations for pro - growth policies have increased, with promoting consumption and expanding infrastructure likely to be key areas. The real - estate sector may also see partial relaxation. Second, the fund redemption fee adjustment plan will be officially implemented. Third, there is still a high expectation that the central bank will restart open - market bond purchases to maintain liquidity and stabilize the bond market, which may occur alongside the redemption fee adjustment to smooth out bond market fluctuations. Based on 2024 experience, the central bank mainly buys short - term bonds, so the yield curve is likely to steepen, and caution is needed for long - term bonds [17] - **Funds**: There is still pressure on the cross - quarter funding situation [18]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Last week, the bond market sentiment was volatile, with interest rates showing a V-shaped oscillation. Credit bonds also had mixed performance, with the over - sold second - tier and perpetual (二永) bonds partially recovering, while ultra - long - term credit bonds continued to perform poorly. The cost - effectiveness of coupon assets has increased [1][4][10]. - 2 - 5 - year bank secondary capital bonds can continue to be considered; a strategy of sinking into 1 - 3 - year weak - quality urban investment bonds is recommended, as the riding income of about 3 - year varieties with a yield of over 2.2% is quite significant. Ultra - long - term credit bonds have improved in coupon cost - effectiveness after continuous adjustment, but only allocation - type institutions are advised to consider them due to the lack of marginal improvement in liquidity [4][25]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 Bond Market Performance - **Interest Rate Bonds**: The overall trend of interest rate bonds was oscillatory last week. The active 10 - year Treasury bond fluctuated between 1.76% - 1.81%, with the bearish force slightly stronger and the bond price weakening over the week [1][10]. - **Credit Bonds**: Different - term credit bond varieties showed differentiated performance. The yields of 1Y - 5Y Treasury bonds and AAA, AA + medium - and short - term notes changed to varying degrees from September 15th to September 19th, 2025. Ultra - long - term credit bonds continued to weaken, with the decline of 10Y varieties generally exceeding that of the same - term interest rate bonds [10][11][12]. 3.2 Secondary - tier and Perpetual (二永) Bonds - **Yield Changes**: After over - adjustment the week before last, the yields of 1Y - 5Y of secondary - tier and perpetual bonds decreased, while those of ultra - long - term parts were similar to ultra - long - term credit bonds. The yields of 1 - 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years of AAA - bank secondary capital bonds decreased by 1.19BP, 1.21BP, 2.58BP, 0.53BP, 1.51BP respectively, and increased by 1.63BP and 3.53BP respectively [2][17]. - **Trading Situation**: In the first half of the week, the sentiment for recovery was high, while in the second half, it was more pessimistic. From September 15th to September 19th, the proportion of low - valuation transactions of secondary - tier and perpetual bonds was 100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%, 2.44% respectively; the average trading durations were 6.16 years, 4.66 years, 5.01 years, 1.07 years, 0.96 years respectively. The discount trading amplitude was generally within 2BP, and there were only 8 transactions with an amplitude of over 3BP [18][20]. 3.3 Ultra - long - term Credit Bonds - **Selling Pressure**: The institutional selling of ultra - long - term credit bonds continued to strengthen throughout the week, but it was not a typical urgent selling situation. From September 15th to September 19th, the proportion of discount transactions was 56.10%, 70.73%, 48.78%, 65.85%, 78.05% respectively, and most of the discount amplitudes were within 4BP [3][21]. - **Buying Willingness**: The market's willingness to buy ultra - long - term credit bonds remained weak, and high - activity transactions were mainly concentrated in weak - quality urban investment bonds. The proportion of transactions below the valuation was 26.83%, 9.76%, 36.59%, 21.95%, 7.32% respectively. However, about 25% of the transactions below the valuation had an amplitude of over 4BP, mainly in 2 - 5 - year weak - quality urban investment bonds [3][22][27]. 3.4 Curve Shape and Yield Quantiles - **Curve Steepness**: The steepness of the 1 - 2 - year and 2 - 3 - year segments of the full - grade yield curve was the highest, and it was steeper than that after the sharp decline at the end of July. Taking AA + medium - term notes and AA urban investment bonds as examples, the slopes of different segments were calculated [13]. - **Yield Quantiles**: From September 15th to September 19th, 2025, the 1Y - 3Y coupon assets had a certain cost - effectiveness, but the credit spread protection was insufficient. The valuation yields to maturity of 1Y - AAA, 3Y - AAA, etc. were at the corresponding quantiles since 2024, and the historical quantiles of credit spreads were also provided [14][16].

Core Viewpoint - The bond market has experienced a correction, with product net values showing differentiation, particularly favoring rights-inclusive fixed income products over traditional bond funds [2][3][11]. Summary by Sections Fixed Income Product Returns Review - In the past month, the bond market corrected while the stock market rose. The performance of products showed differentiation, with rights-inclusive fixed income products yielding 0.54% (down from 0.84%), high-grade interbank certificates of deposit yielding 0.13% (down from 0.14%), and cash management products yielding 0.10% (unchanged). Short-term bond funds yielded 0.05% (up from 0.03%), while medium to long-term bond funds yielded -0.07% (improved from -0.25%) [3][9][10]. Bond Market Review - The bond market saw a correction with overall sentiment remaining weak. Short-term bonds outperformed long-term bonds, and the yield curve continued to steepen. Key factors influencing the bond market included a gradual increase in market risk appetite, new regulations on public fund fees, and a weak economic backdrop [11][12][19]. Industry Events Tracking - On September 5, the China Securities Regulatory Commission solicited public opinions on the "Publicly Raised Securities Investment Fund Sales Fee Management Regulations (Draft for Comments)," which aims to lower costs for investors and promote long-term investment [35]. Outlook - **Short-term (1 month)**: The interbank certificate of deposit rates are expected to remain stable, with continued pressure for corrections in the market. Long-term bonds are anticipated to underperform compared to short-term bonds [11]. - **Medium-term (3-6 months)**: Economic recovery and inflation trends are under observation, with the potential for a slight rise in interest rates. If the central bank initiates a new round of interest rate cuts, it may alleviate correction pressures in the bond market [11][30]. Fixed Income Product Strategy - Investors are advised to prioritize short to medium-term products, with caution advised for long-term investments. The strategy includes maintaining cash positions and considering stable low-volatility financial products, short-term bond funds, or wealth management products [36][39]. Equity Market Overview - The A-share market has shown upward momentum, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising 4.0%, the CSI 300 Index up 7.8%, and the ChiNext Index increasing by 21% over the past month [28]. Asset Class Trends - The bond market is expected to face increased volatility, with a potential top in interest rate increases. The supply of government bonds is projected to decrease, while demand remains supported, leading to a neutral impact on the bond market [30][31]. Investment Recommendations - For conservative investors, maintaining pure bond products is recommended, with a cautious approach to extending duration. For those with higher risk tolerance, mid to long-term bond funds may be considered as interest rates rise above 1.8% [39][40]. Conclusion - The bond market is currently experiencing a phase of correction, with varying performance across different products. Investors are encouraged to adopt a strategic approach based on their risk tolerance and market conditions [36][39].

Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Report's Core View The report analyzes the credit market from September 8 - 12, 2025. It anticipates that the bond market will continue to recover, with the 10Y Treasury yield expected to be between 1.6% - 1.8% in the second half of the year. The interest rate recovery may catalyze a supplementary rally in ultra - long credit bonds. However, currently, the ultra - long credit bonds do not show obvious cost - performance advantages. Conservative investors are advised to wait and see, aiming to capitalize on the potential supplementary rally driven by the subsequent decline in interest rates [3][42]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Overview This Week - **Primary Market**: The issuance volume and net financing of traditional credit bonds increased compared to last week, while the repayment volume decreased. The net financing of asset - backed securities increased by 12.5 billion yuan. The weighted average issuance rates of AA + urban investment bonds and AAA financial bonds rose by over 20BP, and that of AA + industrial bonds increased by 11BP [1][9][17]. - **Secondary Market**: The trading volume of credit bonds increased by 110.6 billion yuan compared to last week. The turnover rate of urban investment bonds decreased, while that of other varieties increased. Affected by factors such as the new fund redemption fee regulations, the yields of credit bonds adjusted along with interest - rate bonds, with the long - end (over 7Y) adjusting by 6 - 9BP. The credit spreads of AA + electronics and steel industries narrowed significantly, while those of other industries and ratings fluctuated within 5BP [2][18][24]. - **Negative News**: The implied ratings of a total of 113 bond issues from 10 entities were downgraded, including 35 issues from China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holdings Co., Ltd., 34 from China Overseas Land & Investment Limited, and 23 from Poly Property Group Co., Ltd. [2][38] 2. This Week's Market Analysis and Investment Suggestions - **Market Analysis**: There were 1.0684 trillion yuan of reverse repurchases due in the open market this week. The central bank conducted 1.2645 trillion yuan of reverse repurchase operations, resulting in a net injection of 196.1 billion yuan. The DR001 rate rose from 1.30% at Monday's close to 1.41% at Friday's close, but the overnight funding rate remained low, and the overall funding situation was loose [6][41]. - **Investment Suggestions**: The credit spreads of AA + electronics and steel industries narrowed significantly this week, while those of other industries and ratings fluctuated within 5BP. For urban investment bonds, the credit spreads within 1Y slightly widened, while those over 1Y compressed to varying degrees. For industrial bonds, the credit spreads widened compared to last week. For bank capital bonds, the credit spreads of bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds of different terms and ratings widened, with the 3 - 5Y spreads widening by over 10BP in most cases [6][41]. 3. Outlook and Recommendations Considering factors such as the central bank's continuous easing and the decreasing bank liability cost, the bond market is expected to continue to recover. The report maintains the view that the 10Y Treasury yield will be between 1.6% - 1.8% in the second half of the year. The end of the quarter may bring balance - sheet return pressure on wealth management products, and after the quarter, it may be a suitable time to increase the allocation of ultra - long credit bonds. Currently, the cost - performance advantage of ultra - long credit bonds is not obvious, so conservative investors are advised to wait and see [3][42].

Core Viewpoint - The pricing of interest rate bonds is primarily influenced by three aspects: long-term fundamentals, medium-term policy, and short-term technical factors. The current market is characterized by a "top and bottom" scenario, with a focus on band trading strategies. The macroeconomic situation has not shown significant improvement, and financial data continues to underperform expectations, providing support for the bond market [1][5]. Fundamental Analysis - The main pricing factors for interest rates are economic growth and inflation. Economic growth determines real interest rates, while inflation, driven by domestic demand, is closely linked to economic activity. Therefore, inflation is fundamentally an issue of economic growth [1][3]. - The current macroeconomic reality supports interest rate bonds, with the ten-year government bond yield facing difficulty in rising further due to high funding costs for banks and limited downward pressure on yields [1][4]. Policy Analysis - The central bank maintains a loose liquidity stance, with interbank funding rates remaining stable. The current low interest rate environment is not expected to change significantly, as the absolute level of rates is low, but the term spread is narrow, indicating a maintenance of the current low rate state rather than a push for lower rates [4][5]. - The government's fiscal policy remains proactive, using bond issuance to stabilize the economy. However, there are concerns about whether fiscal stimulus will continue at the same intensity, especially as the peak of bond issuance may have passed [3][4]. Market Dynamics - The widening gap between social financing and RMB loans indicates ongoing government leverage to stabilize the economy. However, both corporate and household loan growth remains in a downward trend, suggesting that domestic demand has not shown significant improvement [3][4]. - The market is currently in a narrow trading range, with potential for upward or downward breakthroughs depending on inflation changes, the central bank's interest rate stance, and potential changes in tariffs [4][5]. Investment Opportunities - The ten-year government bond ETF (511260) is highlighted as a key investment opportunity, being the only ETF tracking the ten-year government bond index. It holds a benchmark position in the market and offers good allocation value for interested investors [5].

Group 1 - The ten-year government bond ETF (511260) showed weak performance, declining by 0.22% on September 10 and 0.45% over the past five days, indicating a bearish signal in the short term [1] - The current macroeconomic fundamentals and funding environment suggest that the bond market is in a range-bound oscillation, with upward and downward limits on interest rates, recommending a focus on swing trading and monitoring rebound opportunities [1][2] - The widening gap between social financing scale and RMB loans is driven by government bonds and leveraging to support the economy, with fiscal policies aimed at boosting domestic demand and improving profit expectations [2] Group 2 - Despite support for the bond market, there are constraints from policies and funding, making it difficult for the ten-year government bond yield to drop below 1.7% or 1.6% [2] - The narrow interest rate spread indicates that the central bank's easing policies aim to maintain existing low rates rather than push rates further down, limiting the downward momentum for long-term rates [2] - There are risks of breaking the narrow oscillation, particularly from rising inflation expectations and potential actions from the central bank regarding interest rate cuts and government bond purchases [3]
