1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for government bonds is "Oscillation" [1] 2. Core View of the Report - The bond bull market is expected to continue, and it is recommended to steepen the yield curve. The market is driven by loose liquidity expectations, weak economic data in May, and strong market sentiment. However, the rally is based on expectations, and there is some instability. Adjustments could be opportunities to add positions. Short - end and ultra - long - end bonds are expected to perform strongly [2][14][16] 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1.1 Weekly Review: Treasury Futures Continue to Strengthen - From June 16 - 22, treasury futures continued to strengthen. On Monday, they opened higher due to the central bank's 400 billion yuan outright reverse repurchase.

On Tuesday, with loose funds and expected loose monetary policies, the bond market strengthened and the curve steepened. On Wednesday, the Lujiazui Financial Forum had limited incremental positive news, but the buying power in the bond market remained strong.

Near the end of the month, the expectation of the central bank restarting treasury bond trading is rising, and there are no effective negative factors, so the bond bull market is expected to continue. The short - end and ultra - long - end bonds are expected to perform strongly, and the curve's short - end may steepen [14][16] 2.1 Primary Market - This week, 83 interest - rate bonds were issued, with a total issuance of 854.533 billion yuan and a net financing of 322.984 billion yuan, a change of - 86.593 billion yuan and + 30.336 billion yuan from last week respectively.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information regarding the report industry investment rating is provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Hua'an's View**: The bond market is favorable, but the odds of further decline in interest rates are limited. It is still advisable to adopt a trading mindset.

Given the historical performance of the bond market in June, it is recommended to approach it with a trading perspective [2]. - **Seller's View**: More than half of the fixed - income sellers are bullish on the bond market, with a significant increase in sentiment this week [3]. - **Buyer's View**: The buyer sentiment is relatively cautious, with nearly 60% holding a neutral view.

One institution is bullish and 11 are neutral. 8% of the institutions are bullish, and 92% are neutral [17]. 3.2 Treasury Bond Futures Tracking 3.2.1 Futures Trading - As of June 13, the prices of TS/TF/T/TL contracts increased.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the yield of long - term bonds increased slightly, and the yield curve steepened. Factors such as positive May Day holiday consumption data, rising expectations of Sino - US trade war easing, and better - than - expected April import and export data, along with the full pricing of loose monetary policy in long - term bonds before, led to the increase in long - term bond yields. The short - end interest rates decreased significantly due to the implementation of interest rate and reserve requirement ratio cuts and the overall loose funding situation [1]. - This week (the week of May 12), the bond market is expected to continue the volatile pattern. The better - than - expected April import and export data had a certain negative impact on the bond market, but subsequent tariff impacts will be more evident, and the weak price data and less - than - expected April financial data support the bond market. The implementation of the reserve requirement ratio cut on Thursday will inject about 1 trillion yuan of long - term liquidity into the banking system, and a new round of large - scale banks will lower deposit interest rates. The resumption of treasury bond trading operations is also expected to open up the downward space for the short - end and gradually transmit to the medium - and long - end. However, the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations and the recovery of risk appetite will have a negative impact on the long - end bond yields. Overall, the 10 - year treasury bond yield will fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.7%, may rise slightly, the short - end interest rates will further decline, and the yield curve is expected to continue to steepen [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Two - week Market Review 3.1.1 Secondary Market - Last week, the bond market was volatile, and the yield of long - term bonds increased slightly. The 10 - year treasury bond futures main contract rose 0.01% for the whole week. The 10 - year treasury bond yield increased by 1.08bp compared with the previous Wednesday, and the 1 - year treasury bond yield decreased by 4.05bp, with the term spread widening significantly [2]. - From April 28 to May 9, the bond market showed different trends on each trading day due to various factors such as policy announcements, economic data releases, and trade negotiations. For example, on May 7, long - term bond yields increased due to Sino - US trade negotiations and the less - than - expected scale of interest rate and reserve requirement ratio cuts, while short - term bond yields decreased significantly [4]. 3.1.2 Primary Market - Last week, 50 interest - rate bonds were issued, an increase of 18 compared with the previous week. The issuance volume was 578.6 billion yuan, an increase of 443.5 billion yuan, and the net financing was 235.3 billion yuan, an increase of 100.6 billion yuan. The issuance volumes of treasury bonds, policy - financial bonds, and local bonds all increased compared with the previous week. The net financing of treasury bonds increased, while that of local bonds and policy - financial bonds decreased [10]. - The subscription demand for interest - rate bonds last week was generally acceptable. Among them, the average subscription multiple of treasury bonds (excluding 2 certificate - type treasury bonds) was 3.06 times, that of policy - financial bonds was 3.99 times, and that of local bonds was 26.38 times [11]. 3.2 Last Week's Important Events - The official manufacturing PMI in April decreased significantly. The manufacturing PMI index in April was 49.0%, a 1.5 - percentage - point decrease from March, mainly due to the US tariff increase and seasonal factors. The non - manufacturing business activity index also declined [11][13]. - The CPI in April continued to be at a low level. The CPI in April decreased by 0.1% year - on - year, the same as the previous month. The PPI decreased by 2.7% year - on - year, a larger decline than the previous month. The current domestic price level is stable and weak, providing space for expanding consumption [13]. - The impact of the tariff war in April began to show, but the intensity was lower than expected. The export volume in April increased by 8.1% year - on - year, with a slowdown in growth, mainly due to the decline in exports to the US. The import volume decreased by 0.2% year - on - year, with a narrowing decline, mainly driven by the increase in imports from non - US economies. In the future, May's import and export may be negatively affected [13][14]. 3.3 Real - Economy Observation - Last week, the high - frequency data on the production side showed mixed trends. The blast furnace operating rate and daily hot metal output continued to rise, while the operating rates of petroleum asphalt plants and semi - steel tire plants decreased. On the demand side, the BDI index and the export container freight rate index CCFI both decreased, and the sales area of commercial housing in 30 large and medium - sized cities continued to decline [15]. - In terms of prices, the pork price continued to rise slightly, and most commodity prices increased.

Economic Overview - In Q1 2025, China's GDP grew by 5.4%, exceeding market expectations despite a high base from the previous year[2] - The trade war initiated in April 2025 has increased economic uncertainty, leading to downward revisions in GDP growth forecasts by international institutions[3] Monetary Policy Response - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has implemented a comprehensive financial policy package, including a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the reserve requirement ratio, releasing approximately 1 trillion yuan in liquidity[4] - The PBOC also lowered the benchmark interest rate for 7-day reverse repos from 1.5% to 1.4%, potentially reducing the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) by about 0.1 percentage points[10] Sector-Specific Measures - The reserve requirement ratio for auto finance and financial leasing companies has been reduced from 5% to 0%, aimed at stimulating auto consumption and reducing manufacturing costs[10] - The interest rate for personal housing provident fund loans has been cut by 0.25 percentage points, with the first home rate now at 2.6%[10] Consumer Behavior and Market Trends - In March 2025, retail sales grew by 5.9% year-on-year, indicating improved consumer sentiment[17] - The consumer spending propensity reached 63.1% in Q1 2025, the highest for the first quarter since 2020, reflecting a positive trend in consumer confidence[17] Trade War Impact - The trade war could potentially reduce China's GDP growth by approximately 2 percentage points if high tariffs lead to a complete halt in trade with the U.S.[18] - However, the actual impact is expected to be less severe, with the IMF estimating a drag of only 0.6% on GDP growth due to the ability to reroute exports to non-U.S. markets[18] Future Outlook - The PBOC is expected to maintain a moderately loose monetary policy, with significant room for further easing if economic conditions worsen due to the trade war[12] - The combination of monetary and fiscal policies is anticipated to support domestic demand, countering external uncertainties[16]

Monetary Policy Measures - The central bank announced a comprehensive package of ten policy measures, including a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the reserve requirement ratio and a 0.1 percentage point cut in policy interest rates, along with a 0.25 percentage point decrease in the rates for structural monetary policy tools and provident fund loans [1][2] - The reduction in reserve requirements is expected to release 1 trillion yuan in liquidity, which will help alleviate the pressure on banks' liabilities and lower borrowing costs [1][3] Economic Context - The macroeconomic environment is characterized by external demand pressure, internal demand differentiation, and structural support, with the manufacturing PMI in April dropping to 49.0%, indicating weakening economic conditions [2][4] - The recent "reciprocal tariffs" imposed by the U.S. have significantly impacted global trade and China's export outlook, serving as a core trigger for the recent monetary policy easing [2][4] Market Implications - The dual reduction in reserve requirements and interest rates is expected to lead to a downward trend in funding rates, particularly benefiting short-term rates while long-term rates may face challenges due to pricing pressures [1][4] - The 10-year government bond yield is currently around 1.62%, with expectations that it could approach 1.5% as the market adjusts to the new monetary policy landscape [5] Future Outlook - The upcoming LPR quotation on May 20 will be crucial; a significant reduction in the 5-year and above LPR could open up trading opportunities in long-term bonds [5] - The government's new urbanization strategy is projected to create approximately 4 trillion yuan in investment demand, indicating ongoing fiscal support alongside monetary easing [2][3]

Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - Short - term bullish steepening logic in the bond market is not sound. It is expected to fluctuate in the short - term. The main line of loose monetary policy remains unchanged in the medium - term. After the implementation of reserve requirement ratio cut and interest rate cut, the curve bullish steepening will open up further downward space for long - term bond yields [1][3][29]. Summary by Related Catalogs Why the short - term bullish steepening logic is not sound - From April 11th to April 16th, 2025, after the bond market priced in the hedging of tariff shocks by stable - growth policies, it turned to a fluctuating state. The yield curve showed a mixed flat trend. The yield of the 10 - year active treasury bond fluctuated between 1.63% - 1.67%. The yield of the 2 - year active treasury bond rose from 1.38% to 1.425%. The long - term and ultra - long - term bond buying sentiment was suppressed, and the gaps in treasury bond futures TL and T contracts were nearly filled. The money market rate started to rise on April 11th [10]. - **Difference 1: Central bank's attitude and policy implementation rhythm** - Under RMB exchange - rate pressure, the central bank's current attitude is restrained. In 2020, during the public health event, the central bank quickly used reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cut tools, resulting in a rapid decline in money market rates. This time, due to RMB depreciation pressure, the central bank has net - withdrawn liquidity in the open market in the past two weeks. The overnight and 7 - day money market rates are still above the policy rates, and the money market is in an overall balanced state [11]. - In the next stage, monetary policy may be more coordinated with fiscal policy, and the implementation rhythm of reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cut expectations may be slow. The central bank's restrained loosening restricts the downward space of short - term bond yields and also limits the downward space of long - term and ultra - long - term bond yields due to the low term spread and flat curve [11][12]. - **Difference 2: External environment and domestic economic situation** - The current external environment is more complex and severe, but China's ability to handle trade frictions has improved. The average contribution rate of domestic demand to economic growth in the past five years has exceeded 80%. The proportion of exports to the US in total exports has dropped from 19.2% in 2018 to 13.5% in the first three months of 2025. China's economic dependence on external demand and the dependence of external demand on US exports have both declined [17]. - The economy had a good start in Q1, with domestic demand continuously warming up under policy promotion. Many economic indicators such as social financing, consumption, and industrial added value exceeded market expectations. The impact of tariff negotiations on the Q2 economy needs further observation. Policies in Q2 are expected to focus on boosting consumption, expanding investment, and stabilizing employment [17][18]. - **Difference 3: Uncertainty of tariff policy** - In 2020, the impact of the public health event on the capital market showed a "double - bottom" feature. In this tariff shock, the US's counter - tariffs and China's counter - measures basically occurred at the same time, and the market on April 7th had fully reflected this expectation. However, due to the unpredictability of Trump's policies and the complexity of tariff negotiations, whether there will be a secondary impact of tariffs on asset prices remains to be seen [25]. - **Strategy thinking** - Considering the exchange - rate stability constraint, the central bank's operations are currently restrained. Before the implementation of reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts, the possibility of a significant loosening of the money market is low. The current long - term and ultra - long - term bond yields are close to their previous lows. The bond market may fluctuate in the short - term. In the medium - term, after the implementation of the double cuts, the curve bullish steepening will open up further downward space for long - term bond yields [3][29].
