Core Viewpoint - The stock market has experienced a significant rally since August, while bond funds have struggled due to rising long-term bond yields and tightening liquidity conditions [1][4]. Group 1: Stock Market Performance - Since August 4, the A-share market has been on an upward trend, with the Shanghai Composite Index breaking a nearly ten-year high and the total market capitalization reaching a historical record [1]. - Trading activity in the A-share market has been robust, with daily transaction volumes exceeding 2 trillion yuan since August 13 [2].

Group 3: Fund Performance and Investor Behavior - On August 18, ten bond funds saw daily net value declines exceeding 1%, with the maximum drop reaching 1.63% [4]. - The recent strong performance of the stock market has intensified the negative correlation between stocks and bonds, leading many bond fund investors to shift towards equities [4][5]. - Institutional behavior has diverged, with funds and brokerages being net sellers of long-duration bonds, while large banks and insurance companies have increased their allocation to various durations of government bonds [5]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Analysts suggest that while the most severe adjustments in the bond market may have ended, full stabilization will depend on signals of easing liquidity or a cooling of stock market sentiment [5]. - Recommendations for bond fund investors include shortening duration to mitigate volatility and considering "fixed income plus" funds to enhance yield flexibility and reduce single-asset risk [5].

Market Overview and Analysis - The issuance scale of government bonds, local bonds, and policy financial bonds in the primary market last week was 310.3 billion, 91.4 billion, and 154 billion respectively, with net financing amounts of 214.6 billion, -13.7 billion, and 142.9 billion [1] - Financial bonds (excluding policy financial bonds) totaled an issuance scale of 111.7 billion, with a net financing amount of -19.2 billion. Non-financial credit bonds had an issuance scale of 251.4 billion, with a net financing amount of -9 billion [1] Secondary Market Review - The bond market experienced significant adjustments under weak financial economic data, influenced by factors such as rising anonymous interest rates, the stock-bond relationship, and the progress of US-China negotiations [2] Liquidity Tracking - After the month-end, the funding environment became naturally loose, with the central bank's announcement of a buyout-style reverse repurchase operation supporting new bond issuance. The overnight funding rate briefly fell below 1.3%, further pushing down funding prices. Ultimately, R001 and R007 decreased by 1.3 basis points and 3.3 basis points respectively compared to the previous week [3] Policy and Fundamentals - July economic and financial data indicated that insufficient domestic demand is beginning to exert pressure on economic growth in the second half of the year, with weak real financing demand. High-frequency data shows that production has mostly rebounded month-on-month, while consumption remains low, with food prices declining but industrial product prices rising [4] Overseas Market - Despite a mild performance in the US July CPI, the PPI exceeded expectations, and the unexpected decline in the University of Michigan consumer confidence index for August has led to rising long-term and short-term inflation expectations, maintaining concerns about inflation in overseas markets. The 10-year US Treasury bond closed at 4.33%, up 6 basis points from the previous week [5] Equity Market - The market continued its upward trend this week, with trading volume gradually increasing. The Shanghai Composite Index touched a high of 3700 since 2021, with the Wind All A Index rising by 2.95% during the week. The ChiNext and STAR Market surged by 8.58% and 5.53% respectively. The average daily trading volume for the Wind All A Index remained above 2 trillion. As of August 14, 2025, the financing balance for the Wind All A Index was 2041.039 billion, an increase of 42.131 billion from August 7, indicating a continuous net inflow of financing, particularly focused on the ChiNext and STAR Market [6] Bond Market Strategy Outlook - In an environment of fundamental pressure and weak financing demand, the central bank's liquidity support stance is unlikely to change fundamentally, and continued loose funding is a high-probability event. This is favorable for short-term bonds and certificates of deposit. However, for the long end of the bond market, July financial data indicates a trend of residents shifting deposits. Recent market risk sentiment remains high, and the initiation of a new round of yield decline may require patience until the stock market's rapid rise subsides and the central bank resumes buying and selling government bonds. The period around September 3rd is an important observation point for the stock market, during which more attention should be paid to high-level configurations and maintaining liquidity in the portfolio. In the convertible bond market, valuation is currently a focal point of market debate. The median valuation of convertible bonds has exceeded 130, and as equity strengthens, the number of strong redemption targets will increase, leading to a decrease in relatively high-quality convertible bond targets. High valuations do not necessarily indicate a bearish outlook but suggest a weakening of volatility and risk-return asymmetry, making it more challenging for low-volatility strategy investors to participate. From a beta perspective, convertible bonds are expected to absorb equity elastic funds, and under a low-interest-rate environment, they will not adjust ahead of stocks. In terms of detailed strategy selection, there is still room for bond selection in convertible bonds [7]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views Index Futures - On Wednesday morning, the A-share market fluctuated and declined, but rebounded in the afternoon driven by the artificial intelligence sector. Ignoring the overnight decline of US stocks and Asia-Pacific stock indices, index futures soared in a short-squeeze situation, contrasting with the limit-down of lithium carbonate. The loose capital situation is the main reason. Under the central bank's loose policy, funds flow into the stock and futures markets in search of returns. With the improvement of residents' wealth management awareness and the decline of the attractiveness of real estate, some funds have turned to the financial sector, enriching the stock market capital pool. The general bullish sentiment in the market forms a positive feedback - investors' buying drives up prices, and rising prices attract more funds, amplifying the gains. This change in sentiment and confidence has become an important psychological basis for the short-squeeze market of index futures IM and IC [1]. Treasury Bond Futures - Taking the previous high as a reference, if the subsequent adjustment of yields cannot break through the previous high (for example, the previous high of 2.06% for the active 30-year treasury bond 2500002), then the most severe impact of the strong performance of the equity market on the bond market may have passed. At the same time, the bond market has also witnessed marginal positive factors such as the return of loose capital after the tax period and the relief of the fund redemption pressure after the previous release. This environment is conducive to the stabilization of bond market sentiment and also helps the bond market and the equity market to trade according to their own logics in the subsequent process [1].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market has a low "profit - making effect", leading to the continuous withdrawal of trading funds. Despite marginal positive factors, the bond market continued to decline last week. The current situation is similar to the reversal in the bond market in the fourth quarter of last year [4][7]. - It is difficult to expect the bond market to rise again due to the end of the stock market rally. The triggers for the bond market to rise again are that loose liquidity becomes the dominant factor and the coupon value meets investors' psychological expectations [10]. - Although trading enthusiasm is cooling, the bond market still has two supporting factors: continued loose liquidity and rigid allocation demand. The overall outlook for the bond market in the second half of the year is not pessimistic, and short - term trading enthusiasm is hard to recover immediately [4][11][12]. Summary by Directory 1. Bond Market Weekly Viewpoint: The "Reverse Mirror" of the Bond Market in Q4 2024 - The bond market adjustment last week was mainly due to the low "profit - making effect", causing trading funds to withdraw. The current situation is similar to the change in the bond market sentiment in Q4 last year. The reversal last year was due to the central bank's actions and the economic "small spring". Currently, the bond market is also facing the consensus of low profit - making effect [4][7]. - It is difficult for the bond market to rise again because of the end of the stock market rally. The bond market's rise depends on loose liquidity and the coupon value reaching investors' expectations. The former requires central bank signals, and the latter needs sufficient withdrawal of trading funds and investors' confidence in limited bond market adjustment [10]. - There are two supporting factors for the bond market: continued loose liquidity and rigid allocation demand. The overall outlook for the bond market in the second half of the year is not pessimistic, but short - term trading is difficult, and medium - and short - term credit products still have allocation value [4][11][12]. 2. This Week's Focus in the Fixed - Income Market: Increasing Supply of Local Government Bonds 2.1 Domestic August LPR to be Announced - This week, China will announce the August LPR, the US will announce the July new - home starts, and the eurozone will announce the August consumer confidence index and PMI.

The issuance by different types of banks and the proportion of different maturities changed, and the certificate of deposit rates mostly increased [28][29]. 3.2 Improved Market Risk Appetite - Last week, the resurgence of anti - involution policies led to a rapid rise in commodity prices and a stronger equity market, improving market risk appetite and putting pressure on the bond market. Despite poor financial and economic data, the positive impact was limited, and the redemption pressure on bond funds increased the bond market adjustment. On August 15, the yields of various - maturity treasury bonds mostly increased, with the 10 - year China Development Bank bond rising the most [38]. 4.

Core Viewpoint - The recent easing of the market liquidity is attributed to the coordinated efforts of monetary and fiscal policies, leading to a self-implemented "interest rate cut" effect in the market [1][2][3]. Monetary Policy - Since April, major money market interest rates have significantly declined, with the 7-day bond repurchase rate (DR007) dropping below 2%, reaching a low of 1.54% in late April, the lowest since 2021 [2]. - The average monthly values for DR007 and the 1-year interbank certificate of deposit rates in April were 1.82% and 2.48%, respectively, both lower than the central bank's policy rates by 28 and 37 basis points [2]. - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has implemented various measures, including a comprehensive reserve requirement ratio cut and special relending tools, to maintain reasonable liquidity [3][5].
