Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market adjusted significantly this week, but the short - term impact factors are temporary, and the bond market is expected to enter a repair phase. The short - term interest rate adjustment ceiling is clear, and the 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bond yields may return to around 1.65% and 1.85% respectively. The bond interest rate is expected to hit a new low in the second half of the year [1][5][19] Group 3: Summary by Related Contents Bond Market Adjustment This Week - The bond market adjusted significantly this week, with long - term bonds adjusting more notably. The yields of 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bonds rose by 6.7bps and 8.4bps to 1.73% and 1.97% respectively. The yields of Tier 2 capital bonds of 3 - year and 5 - year AAA - also increased significantly, and the 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit rate rose by 5.8bps to 1.675% [1][9] - The sharp decline in the bond market this week is due to multiple factors: the expectation of anti - involution policies pushed up commodity prices and the stock market; the central bank withdrew funds in the first four days of this week, and seasonal factors tightened the funds; the bond market adjustment may have led to the net value retracement of some asset management products, resulting in a negative feedback effect of redemptions [1][9] Short - term Nature of Impact Factors - Commodity prices tumbled on the night of Friday after a continuous rise last week. With strengthened regulatory control, the subsequent commodity price rally is expected to cool down, reducing the pressure on the bond market. The current price increase is more based on expectations, and its sustainability is to be observed [2][12] - The central bank's operation on Friday strengthened the protection of liquidity, and funds will not tighten in a trending manner. The central bank's net injection of 8018 billion yuan on Friday and the statement of the deputy governor indicate that the central bank will maintain liquidity stability, which helps to form an adjustment ceiling for the bond market, limiting the continuous adjustment space of the bond market [3][13] Unchanged Bond Market Trend - The bond market is still in an asset shortage pattern, and broad - spectrum interest rates are declining. The supply of assets will decrease in the next five months, while the allocation power is steadily increasing. The reduction of insurance reservation interest rates will further increase the allocation demand for long - term bonds [4][14] - The demand side is not strong, and the export demand may slow down in the second half of the year. The real estate market is weak, and investment and consumption growth rates have slowed down. The impact of anti - involution policies on supply also needs attention. Fundamental changes are the key to determining the interest rate trend [5][19] Bond Market Outlook - After the short - term shock, the bond market will enter a repair phase. The interest rate is expected to return to the previous level in the first stage, and whether it can break through the previous low later depends on the fundamentals and the pressure of asset shortage. The bond interest rate is expected to hit a new low in the second half of the year [5][19]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Group 2: Report's Core View - This week, most credit spreads in different industries widened, with only a few narrowing. The credit spreads of urban investment bonds widened overall, with the short - end widening more than the long - end. For industrial bonds, the credit spreads of AA+ and above industrial bonds widened to varying degrees, and the short - end of AA industrial bonds also widened. The credit spreads of bank secondary and perpetual bonds widened overall. After a significant adjustment in credit bond yields, the cost - effectiveness of credit bonds has increased from a static coupon perspective. With the rapid decline in black - series futures prices on Friday night, the bond market sentiment may improve, and the space for further adjustment of credit bonds is relatively limited. It is recommended to focus on long - duration urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - debt, especially the long - duration capital bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng banks, and be optimistic about urban investment dim sum bonds and US dollar bonds [4][43] - Since July 2024, the long - end risk - free interest rate has been in a downward channel, and the yield of ultra - long - term credit bonds has followed suit. Although the proportion of low - valuation transactions and TKN transactions has been rising this year, it has not exceeded last year's high, indicating that the buying sentiment may not have reached its end. With the concentrated listing of science - innovation bond ETFs on July 17, the spreads of medium - and short - term component bonds have been compressed to an extreme level. In the context of the "asset shortage" in the low - interest - rate environment this year, the market may further evolve towards long - duration assets. Investors can still find relatively suitable ultra - long - term credit bond targets in the market [5][49] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1.

For example, the AA - rated credit spreads in Henan and Guizhou compressed by 6BP and 3BP respectively, while the AA - rated credit spread in Yunnan and the AA+ - rated credit spread in Guizhou widened by 12BP and 13BP respectively. The credit spreads in other regions mostly widened by no more than 5BP [33] 2.3.2 Industrial Bonds - The credit spreads of AA+ and above industrial bonds widened to varying degrees this week, and the short - end of AA industrial bonds also widened. For example, the credit spreads of 1Y AAA -, AA+, and AA private - placement industrial bonds widened by 5BP, 5BP, and 3BP respectively, and those of 10Y AAA -, AA+, and AA private - placement industrial bonds compressed by 5BP, 3BP, and less than 1BP respectively.

Investment Recommendations - Pay attention to long - duration urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - debt, especially the long - duration capital bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng banks, and be optimistic about urban investment dim sum bonds and US dollar bonds [43] - Focus on the allocation and trading opportunities of ultra - long - term credit bonds. For industrial bonds, State Grid has the largest scale of ultra - long - term credit bonds and good trading atmosphere, but the yield level is relatively low. Chengtong Holdings, Sinochem Group, Guangzhou Yuexiu, and Sichuan Energy Development are more cost - effective. For urban investment bonds, although the static coupon levels are generally better than industrial bonds, the range of available bonds is relatively narrow. Pay attention to the opportunities for further compression of the spreads of Shenzhen Metro, Shaanxi Communications Control, Yantai Guofeng, and Yizhuang Investment Development. The cost - effectiveness of the ultra - long - term bank secondary capital bonds of several large state - owned and joint - stock banks is limited [6][50]

The yield of the bond market may continue the downward trend, and the credit spread may still have room for compression. Investors are advised to dig into the investment value of high - grade credit bonds, pay attention to market fluctuations, and focus on investment opportunities in the consumption field, stable industries, and science - and technology innovation bond field [5][6][48]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 First - half Review of the Credit Bond Market 3.1.1 Primary Market - **Overall issuance situation**: The total issuance of credit bonds increased moderately, with a net financing scale of 971.083 billion yuan, showing a mild recovery. The issuance interest rate first rose and then fell, remaining at a low level. The term structure continued to optimize, with the proportion of medium - and long - term varieties increasing.

Group 3: Future Outlook - The 10-year government bond yield is estimated to be reasonably priced between 1.8% and 1.9%, with a potential need for effective demand-side stimulus policies to break through this range [2]. - The bond market is expected to return to a healthier state as the central bank gradually loosens liquidity and resumes government bond trading [2].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes that investing in bank sector ETFs is an ideal starting point for investors in a low interest rate environment, providing a combination of high dividends, low valuations, and solid capital support [1]. Group 1: Reasons for Choosing Bank Sector ETFs - Reason 1: High dividend yield offers stable cash flow and competitive advantage in a low interest rate environment. The current dynamic dividend yield of the bank sector is approximately 4%, significantly higher than the yield of ten-year government bonds, making it attractive for long-term institutional investors and wealth management [2]. - Reason 2: Low valuations and defensive characteristics provide a safety margin and potential for valuation recovery. The current price-to-book ratio of the bank sector is only 0.74, one of the lowest among major sectors, while the return on equity ranks favorably. This creates a dual advantage of high safety margin and potential for long-term valuation recovery [3][5]. - Reason 3: Policy and capital support strengthen medium to long-term strategic opportunities. The banking sector benefits from regulatory measures to alleviate net interest margin pressure and improve asset quality, alongside significant capital inflows into A-shares, enhancing the attractiveness of bank sector ETFs [6]. Group 2: Investment Strategy - The bank sector ETF, such as Tianhong CSI Bank ETF (515290), is positioned as an effective tool for capturing industry dividends while providing a balanced approach to stable returns and risk diversification in the current low interest rate and asset scarcity environment [6].
