Core Viewpoint - The recent actions of the Trump administration regarding capital participation by certain U.S. companies have introduced more "policy factors" into the market, leading investors to consider whether the U.S. is entering an era of industrial policy [1] Group 1: Policy Implications - If the Trump administration expands its capital participation plans, "policy factors" will have a greater impact on asset pricing in the U.S. market [1] - The relationship between companies involved in capital participation and the U.S. government is expected to reduce tail risks, resulting in a downward shift in the credit spread for related firms [1] Group 2: Equity Market Effects - Initially, related equity assets may reflect positive impacts from policy announcements; however, governance constraints, limitations on dividends and buybacks, and increasing uncertainty regarding U.S. government regulations may cap the upper limit of stock price valuations for these companies [1]

Core Viewpoint - The bond pricing mechanism is becoming distorted due to a combination of optimistic economic sentiment and an environment of "excess funds and scarce assets," leading to historically low compensation required by bond investors for taking on default risk [1][3]. Group 1: Bond Market Dynamics - The credit spread between high-risk assets and safe assets like U.S. Treasuries is narrowing globally, with the risk premium for investment-grade corporate bonds dropping to 81 basis points, close to the lowest level since 2007 [3]. - The absolute yield of bonds is attracting institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies, who are seeking to lock in relatively attractive returns [1][3]. - The phenomenon of "yield chasing" is evident as investors pursue higher coupon yield assets, extending their focus from corporate bonds to emerging market currencies [1][3]. Group 2: Investor Sentiment and Behavior - The "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO) is driving investor sentiment across all asset classes, with global indices, gold, and Bitcoin reaching historical highs [5]. - Despite concerns about high valuations in the credit market, many investors are still looking for ways to enhance yields, viewing the public and liquid credit market as a relatively high-quality option [5][6]. - The issuance of bonds, such as Allianz's $12.5 billion perpetual bond, demonstrates the intense demand, with the offering receiving $12.5 billion in oversubscriptions [5]. Group 3: Emerging Market Trends - Emerging market dollar bonds have seen their risk premium drop below 260 basis points for the first time since 2013, indicating a significant shift in market dynamics [6]. - Asian investment-grade dollar bond spreads have narrowed to 60 basis points, marking a historical low and less than half of the average over the past decade [6]. - Concerns are raised about the indiscriminate buying behavior in the market, which may overlook the distinction between creditworthy issuers and those with potential risks [6][7]. Group 4: Economic Outlook and Risks - There are warnings about the fragility of the current market conditions, with predictions that the risk premium for investment-grade corporate bonds could widen to 130-140 basis points within the next 12 months [7][9]. - Recent U.S. employment data indicating economic slowdown and weakening service sector sentiment could act as triggers for a market shift [7][9].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating [1][2][3] Core Viewpoints - The report continues to expect the 10Y Treasury yield to range between 1.6% - 1.8% in the second half of 2025. Currently, the 10Y Treasury yield is close to 1.8%, presenting high cost - effectiveness. It anticipates the 10Y Treasury yield to return to around 1.65% in the next six months and the 5Y national and joint - stock second - tier capital bonds to fall below 1.9%. The growth of wealth management scale is favorable for medium - and short - term credit bonds [3][40] - In 2025, the bond market lacks a trend - based market. In the bond market oscillation during the low - interest - rate era, investment is challenging, and it is necessary to seize band opportunities on the left side.

Group 1 - The report indicates that credit bond yields have adjusted significantly, with the adjustment magnitude exceeding that of interest rate bonds, leading to a widening of credit spreads. Notably, long-term credit bonds experienced a marked decline, with some mid-to-high grade 7-10 year bonds dropping over 10 basis points, while 3-5 year credit bonds also saw substantial declines [1][9]. - Recent buying behavior shows that funds, representing trading positions, have been net sellers, particularly of certain interest rate products, while wealth management and insurance sectors continue to buy on dips, focusing mainly on short-term bonds with maturities of three years or less [2][15]. - The static "downside protection" for various credit products has been calculated, showing that short-term bonds within one year have robust protection, generally exceeding 50 basis points. The downside protection for 2-3 year credit products has improved by 2-5 basis points since July 18, now ranging from 20-40 basis points [3][31]. Group 2 - As of August 22, 2025, certain AA and AA(2) credit bonds with maturities of two years or less have seen yields drop to over 1.9%, indicating a value in short-term coupons that also possess defensive attributes amid market volatility. The report suggests that the bond market may still be influenced by equity market fluctuations, necessitating careful liquidity management [4][34]. - The report highlights that the yield curve for 3-4 year perpetual bonds has become more attractive, with current valuations exceeding those of similarly rated short-term and urban investment bonds. It anticipates that the 1.8% resistance level in the bond market may be difficult to breach, suggesting higher trading value once interest rates stabilize [4][34].

For relative returns, credit - sinking and duration - stretching are not cost - effective, and high - grade short - term bonds can be considered for defense [1][60] 1.

Investment Views Credit Bonds - From an absolute - return perspective, supply shortages and strong allocation demand support credit bonds. Although fluctuations are inevitable, yields are in a downward channel in the long run. Due to high prices, the allocation pace can be slowed, and bonds can be added during adjustments. Pay attention to interest - rate bond trends and coupon values.
