Core Viewpoint - The upcoming A-share market is predicted to be an epic bull market that will surpass the historical peak of 6124 points, marking the beginning of a significant upward trend in the stock market [1][3]. Group 1: Market Predictions - The current market is likely entering an overall upward cycle, although the exact timing of the bull market is difficult to predict. It is suggested that this bull market may not exceed the 2007 bull market's sixfold increase from 998 to 6124 points, but it is expected to surpass the 6124 peak [3][4]. - Historical analysis shows that countries entering the industrialization phase typically experience long periods of market fluctuations followed by significant upward trends. This pattern has been observed in countries like South Korea and Japan, where substantial market gains occurred within a short timeframe [4][5]. Group 2: Investment Strategies - To benefit from the bull market, investors should be cautious and avoid common pitfalls such as high positions at market peaks and low positions at market lows. Successful investors often act contrary to market sentiment, increasing positions during downturns and reducing them during peaks [8]. - The stock market's rise can stimulate consumer spending due to perceived wealth increases, but this can lead to unsustainable spending habits that may result in future losses [9]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - The Chinese stock market is seen as a suitable outlet for the significant surplus capital available in various sectors, suggesting that it is unlikely to experience severe downturns [10]. - The phenomenon of "bull short, bear long" is expected to continue, driven by emotional market dynamics rather than fundamental factors, leading to potential market bubbles [11]. Group 4: Foreign Investment Trends - Recent foreign investments in Chinese stocks and funds indicate a positive outlook, as China is viewed as a safe and convenient investment destination with relatively low stock valuations [12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the document. 2. Core View of the Report The report focuses on the history, overseas experiences, and future prospects of China's central bank's treasury bond trading. It analyzes the development of China's central bank's treasury bond trading from 2024 to 2025, draws lessons from the practices of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, and discusses the possible future evolution of the tool, including operation mechanisms, targets, and implementation rhythms, as well as potential optimization directions for supporting measures [2][48][94]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1. Treasury Bond Trading History Review - **Before 2024**: The central bank mainly participated in treasury bond trading through repurchase agreements, providing short - term liquidity to the market and smoothing out fluctuations in the capital market. Direct purchases of treasury bonds were rare, mainly for coordinating the issuance of special treasury bonds [12]. - **In 2024**: The central bank began to include treasury bond trading in open - market operations. In August, it carried out "buying short and selling long" operations, with a net purchase of 1 billion yuan in treasury bonds. The operations were mainly for base money injection and liquidity management, with buying aiming to support fiscal efforts and selling to prevent bond market risks [22][25]. - **In the first half of 2025**: In January, the central bank announced a temporary suspension of open - market treasury bond purchases, considering the controllable supply pressure of government bonds at the beginning of the year and the availability of alternative tools for liquidity management. The market's speculation about the resumption of operations emerged in June, but it did not materialize, mainly due to the marginal improvement in the supply - demand relationship of government bonds, the central bank's enhanced precision in liquidity regulation, and concerns about bond market risks [38][40][43]. 3.2. Overseas Insights into Central Bank Bond Purchases - **Federal Reserve's "Scarce Reserves" Framework**: Before 2008, the Federal Reserve used this framework, where treasury bond trading was mainly for liquidity management. Through small - scale open - market treasury bond trading, the Federal Reserve could adjust the reserve level of the banking system, affecting the federal funds rate and other interest rates, forming a transmission chain of "open - market operations - reserve scale - FFR - other interest rates" [48]. - **Federal Reserve's Treasury Bond Trading with Quantitative Easing and Twist Operations**: From 2008 to 2014, the Federal Reserve implemented large - scale asset purchase programs, aiming to influence the yield curve by changing the structure of purchased assets while maintaining a loose liquidity environment. It carried out operations such as lowering short - term interest rates, buying long - term bonds, and selling short - term bonds, and managing market expectations [68][71]. - **Bank of Japan's YCC Practice**: In 2016, the Bank of Japan introduced YCC on the basis of negative interest rates. It controlled the short - end through negative interest rates and set a target for the 10 - year treasury bond yield, promising unlimited buying and selling of 10 - year treasury bonds to achieve the target range. This enhanced the central bank's ability to control the yield curve, alleviated concerns about policy sustainability and market liquidity, and strengthened inflation expectations [74][76]. 3.3. Outlook on Central Bank Bond Purchases - **Current Situation**: Compared with the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, the scale of treasury bonds held by the People's Bank of China is relatively low. Commercial banks are the main holders of treasury bonds in China, accounting for over 60% of the total. The reasons include the short implementation time of treasury bond trading, differences in tool positioning, and the limited liquidity of the treasury bond market [6][78][88]. - **Possible Future Deductions**: - **Operation Mechanism**: There is a possibility of making operations more transparent by announcing operation time, quantity, bond maturity, and pricing standards in advance, following the trend of expected management in monetary policy tools [94]. - **Operation Target**: Treasury bond trading is mainly for liquidity management and may also have the function of regulating the yield curve. Net purchases to inject liquidity are still the general direction, and attention should be paid to the term structure of the treasury bond market and the central bank's holdings [95]. - **Implementation Rhythm**: The supply pressure of government bonds will decrease in July and peak again in August - September. This could be a good observation window for restarting treasury bond trading operations [97]. - **Supporting Measures**: Potential optimization directions include increasing the proportion of discount treasury bond issuance, improving the management of treasury bond underwriters, guiding commercial banks to reduce the proportion of bonds held in the AC account, and expanding the participants in the treasury bond derivatives market [98].

It analyzes the operations and impacts of treasury bond trading in 2024 and 2025, draws lessons from overseas central banks' bond - buying practices, and discusses the future evolution of China's treasury bond trading tool [9] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Treasury Bond Trading History Review - **Before 2024**: The central bank mainly participated in treasury bond trading through repurchase agreements to inject short - term liquidity. It rarely directly bought treasury bonds, and the few purchases were mainly to support special treasury bond issuance [10] - **In 2024**: The central bank started to include treasury bond trading in open - market operations.

The operations aimed at liquidity management and curve regulation [19][20] - **In the first half of 2025**: The central bank suspended open - market treasury bond purchases in January. The reasons included controllable government bond supply pressure, the availability of alternative tools, and the need to avoid strong market expectations. In June, market discussions about restarting the operation emerged, but it did not happen [28][32] 2. Overseas Insights on Central Bank Bond - Buying - **Fed's "Scarce Reserves" Framework**: Before 2008, the Fed used this framework. Treasury bond trading was a liquidity management tool, and small - scale trading could affect the federal funds rate and other interest rates [39] - **Fed's Bond - Buying with QE and Twist Operations**: From 2008 - 2014, the Fed used large - scale asset - purchase programs and twist operations to influence the yield curve and long - term interest rates [52][53] - **BOJ's YCC Practice**: Since 1999, Japan has implemented QE. In 2016, it introduced YCC to control the yield curve more precisely, aiming to achieve inflation targets and address negative impacts of previous policies [55][57] 3. Outlook on Central Bank Bond - Buying - **Current Situation**: China's central bank holds a relatively low proportion of treasury bonds compared to the Fed and the BOJ. Commercial banks are the main holders of Chinese treasury bonds [63] - **Reasons for the Difference**: The short implementation time of treasury bond trading in China, different tool positioning, and limited treasury bond liquidity are the main reasons [76] - **Future Deduction**: In operation, there may be more expectation management. The tool will focus on liquidity management and curve regulation. The restart window may be around August - September. There will also be optimization of supporting measures [81][83][84]
