Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View - The Fed's rate cuts can be divided into preventive and relief (recessionary) rate cuts, with different policy triggering backgrounds and implementation goals [1][5]. - The Fed's preventive rate cut in September 2025 may have limited impact on China's bond market, as China's monetary policy emphasizes "independence" and focuses more on internal balance [1][88][89]. - In the fourth quarter, the economic downward pressure may increase, and the possibility of using policy tools such as RRR cuts and interest rate cuts in the future rises. Currently, the bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may decline oscillating [2][90]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Types of Fed Rate Cuts - Preventive rate cuts are usually initiated when the economy shows signs of slowing but has not yet entered a recession, aiming to balance employment and inflation risks through small - scale and gradual interest rate adjustments, such as in 1995, 1998, 2019, 2024, and 2025 [1][5][79]. - Relief rate cuts often occur when the economy has fallen into a deep recession or faces a systemic crisis, characterized by large - scale and rapid interest rate cuts to stabilize the financial market, such as in 2001 - 2003, 2007 - 2008, and 2020 [1][5]. 2. Four Fed Rate - Cut Cycles Since 2000 2.1. 2001 - 2003 Relief Rate Cut - **Background and measures**: Triggered by the burst of the Internet bubble, the 9/11 terrorist attack, and corporate financial scandals. The Fed cut rates by 550 basis points from 6.5% to 1.0% [10]. - **US economic indicators**: GDP growth was sluggish, unemployment rate rose, core PCE inflation rate declined, and corporate investment was severely hit [13]. - **Impact on China's bond market**: China's central bank cut rates in 2002. The 1 - year and 10 - year Treasury yields showed different trends, reflecting the reduced sensitivity of the bond market to monetary easing when the domestic economy rebounded [19]. 2.2. 2007 - 2008 Relief Rate Cut - **Time, amplitude, and measures**: From September 2007 to December 2008, the Fed cut rates by 500 basis points to 0% - 0.25% and launched three rounds of QE [25][28]. - **Characteristics**: Fast - paced, large - amplitude, innovative policy tools, and multiple goals [29]. - **Impact on China's bond market**: The Sino - US yield spread narrowed and then fluctuated. There were changes in capital flows, with short - term international capital flowing in and out at different times [30][33][36]. 2.3. 2019 - 2020 Preventive + Relief Rate Cut - **Preventive rate cut (2019.7 - 2019.10)**: Against the background of global economic slowdown and Sino - US trade frictions, the Fed cut rates three times by 25 basis points each time. The US economy showed some recovery, and the bond market fluctuated. In China, the bond market was stable, and foreign capital increased holdings of RMB bonds [40][41][51]. - **Relief rate cut (2020.3)**: Due to the global public health event, the Fed cut rates to 0% - 0.25% and implemented unlimited QE. China also increased the easing intensity, and the bond yield declined and then rebounded [46][47][58]. 2.4. 2024 H2 Preventive Rate Cut - **Background, time, amplitude, and impact**: The Fed cut rates by 100 basis points in the second half of 2024, with a "fast - then - stable" feature. It aimed to avoid a hard landing of the economy. China's bond yields declined, and foreign capital increased holdings of Chinese bonds [60][66][67]. 3. Characteristics of the Preventive Rate Cut in 2025 - **Trigger paths**: Driven by the pressure of national debt scale and debt cost, and the marginal deterioration of the employment market [71][76]. - **Market pricing and yield trends**: The market had partially priced in the rate cut before it happened. After the rate cut in September 2025, the US Treasury yields first declined and then rose [79][80][82]. 4. Impact of the Fed's Rate - Cut Cycle on China's Bond Market - **Short - term impact**: The Fed's rate - cut expectation may attract foreign capital to flow into China's bond market through spread repair and open up space for domestic monetary policy [1][84]. - **Long - term impact**: China's bond market trend may depend more on domestic factors, including economic fundamentals and policy coordination. The influence of the Fed's policy on China's monetary policy may be weakening [87][88]. 5. Economic Situation and Bond Market Outlook in the Fourth Quarter - **Economic situation**: The economic growth in Q3 slowed down compared with Q1 and Q2. Consumption and exports may face pressure, and the external environment is also unstable, increasing the possibility of using policy tools [2][90]. - **Bond market outlook**: The bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may decline oscillating. The 10 - year Treasury yield is expected to fluctuate between 1.60% - 1.80% [2][90].

Group 1: Market Operations - The PBOC's bond trading is primarily aimed at liquidity adjustment and serves as a supplementary tool for open market operations, which are designed to regulate the total amount of base currency [3][6]. - The resumption of government bond trading is seen as a crucial step in enhancing the financial functions of government bonds and improving the pricing capabilities of financial institutions [4][5]. Group 2: Economic Implications - The increase in government bond issuance this year, coupled with the resumption of bond trading, is expected to stabilize bond market interest rates and enhance long-term liquidity supply [5][9]. - Analysts predict that the 10-year government bond yield may decline to around 1.6% amid a lack of large-scale consumption stimulus measures [8]. Group 3: Legal and Structural Context - The legal framework allows the PBOC to buy and sell government bonds in the secondary market, which is distinct from direct purchases in the primary market [6][7]. - The PBOC's bond trading is fundamentally different from quantitative easing (QE) practices in developed economies, as it is not a response to exhausted conventional monetary policy tools [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Last week, oil prices were strong, erasing all losses since October due to US sanctions on Russia. In the current market, US sanctions on Russia have reduced expectations of a broader supply, but the upcoming OPEC+ ministerial meeting in early November may lead to increased production, and US oil storage plans may also increase supply, which could suppress oil prices. Financially, the market expects interest rate cuts after the release of US September CPI data, which may relieve macro - economic pressure. Politically, the change in US policy towards Russia may boost oil prices in the short - term, but its long - term impact is uncertain. Overall, oil prices may have limited upside in the short - term and be under pressure in the long - term [13][73]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Operation Ideas - Last week, oil prices rose due to sanctions on Russia, erasing losses since October.

The deterioration of US - Russia relations may also prevent an effective cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict in the short - term, which also contributed to the rise in oil prices [20]. 3.3 Fundamental Analysis 3.3.1 Macro - economic Factors - **Inflation Data**: In September, US inflation data was lower than expected. The unadjusted CPI annual rate was 3%, and the core CPI also showed a downward trend, which boosted market confidence and increased expectations of interest rate cuts [24]. - **Interest Rate Expectations**: The release of inflation data increased market expectations of interest rate cuts in the remaining two FOMC meetings this year and next year [24]. - **Labor Market**: The suspension of ADP providing employment data to the Fed may increase concerns about the US labor market [32]. - **Geopolitical Tensions**: The cancellation of the planned US - Russia meeting and new sanctions on Russian oil exports, as well as US military actions near Venezuela, may lead to higher oil prices due to geopolitical risks [37]. 3.3.2 Supply Factors - **OPEC+ Production**: OPEC+ countries generally increased production in September, with Saudi Arabia having the largest increase of 248 thousand barrels per day [41]. - **US Sanctions**: US sanctions on Russia may affect oil supply. - **Other Producers**: Iran and Iraq also increased production, while the US had a small production cut [46][49]. 3.3.3 Demand Factors - **Weak Consumption**: Consumption performance remained weak, and the manufacturing PMIs of the US and China did not improve [52][56]. - **Slowing Refining**: The production of refined oil products continued to slow down [62]. 3.3.4 Inventory Factors - **Crude Oil Inventory**: US crude oil inventories unexpectedly decreased in the week ending October 22, which supported oil prices [63]. - **Refined Oil Inventory**: US refined oil inventories decreased, but due to low refinery utilization and the off - season of consumption, it was difficult to boost oil prices [67]. 3.4 Viewpoint Summary - In the short - term, oil prices may have some upside due to the deterioration of US - Russia relations, but considering the OPEC+ meeting and US oil storage needs, the upside is limited, and oil prices are under pressure in the long - term [73].
