Core Viewpoint - The pricing of interest rate bonds is primarily influenced by three aspects: long-term fundamentals, medium-term policy, and short-term technical factors. The current market is characterized by a "top and bottom" scenario, with a focus on band trading strategies. The macroeconomic situation has not shown significant improvement, and financial data continues to underperform expectations, providing support for the bond market [1][5]. Fundamental Analysis - The main pricing factors for interest rates are economic growth and inflation. Economic growth determines real interest rates, while inflation, driven by domestic demand, is closely linked to economic activity. Therefore, inflation is fundamentally an issue of economic growth [1][3]. - The current macroeconomic reality supports interest rate bonds, with the ten-year government bond yield facing difficulty in rising further due to high funding costs for banks and limited downward pressure on yields [1][4]. Policy Analysis - The central bank maintains a loose liquidity stance, with interbank funding rates remaining stable. The current low interest rate environment is not expected to change significantly, as the absolute level of rates is low, but the term spread is narrow, indicating a maintenance of the current low rate state rather than a push for lower rates [4][5]. - The government's fiscal policy remains proactive, using bond issuance to stabilize the economy. However, there are concerns about whether fiscal stimulus will continue at the same intensity, especially as the peak of bond issuance may have passed [3][4]. Market Dynamics - The widening gap between social financing and RMB loans indicates ongoing government leverage to stabilize the economy. However, both corporate and household loan growth remains in a downward trend, suggesting that domestic demand has not shown significant improvement [3][4]. - The market is currently in a narrow trading range, with potential for upward or downward breakthroughs depending on inflation changes, the central bank's interest rate stance, and potential changes in tariffs [4][5]. Investment Opportunities - The ten-year government bond ETF (511260) is highlighted as a key investment opportunity, being the only ETF tracking the ten-year government bond index. It holds a benchmark position in the market and offers good allocation value for interested investors [5].

Group 1 - The ten-year government bond ETF (511260) showed weak performance, declining by 0.22% on September 10 and 0.45% over the past five days, indicating a bearish signal in the short term [1] - The current macroeconomic fundamentals and funding environment suggest that the bond market is in a range-bound oscillation, with upward and downward limits on interest rates, recommending a focus on swing trading and monitoring rebound opportunities [1][2] - The widening gap between social financing scale and RMB loans is driven by government bonds and leveraging to support the economy, with fiscal policies aimed at boosting domestic demand and improving profit expectations [2] Group 2 - Despite support for the bond market, there are constraints from policies and funding, making it difficult for the ten-year government bond yield to drop below 1.7% or 1.6% [2] - The narrow interest rate spread indicates that the central bank's easing policies aim to maintain existing low rates rather than push rates further down, limiting the downward momentum for long-term rates [2] - There are risks of breaking the narrow oscillation, particularly from rising inflation expectations and potential actions from the central bank regarding interest rate cuts and government bond purchases [3]

Group 1: Macroeconomic Insights - In August 2025, CPI remained flat at 0% month-on-month, while PPI ended a consecutive eight-month decline, indicating a potential turning point for PPI [1] - Core CPI growth has rebounded for four consecutive months due to policies aimed at expanding domestic demand and regulating low-price competition, although overall CPI year-on-year growth fell to -0.4% due to food prices [2] - The PPI is expected to see a slow recovery due to a poor demand environment and market-oriented capacity governance, remaining in negative growth territory for the year [2] Group 2: Industry Research - The antimony supply is tightening as Polar Gold's antimony production is projected to drop to zero in the first half of 2025, leading to potential price increases in the domestic market [3] - Antimony prices have fluctuated this year, influenced by export policies and demand changes, with expectations of price increases if export restrictions ease [3] Group 3: Company Research - Huaxin Cement (600801.SH) reported significant growth in net profit for the first half of 2025, driven by accelerated international expansion and increased overseas revenue and cement sales [4] - The company is projected to achieve net profits of 2.9 billion, 3.3 billion, and 3.5 billion yuan for the years 2025 to 2027, maintaining a "buy" rating [4] - Megachip Color (603062.SH) also experienced rapid revenue and profit growth in the first half of 2025, with new business developments in wind power and marine coatings contributing to sales [5] - The company is expected to achieve net profits of 270 million, 300 million, and 330 million yuan from 2025 to 2027, maintaining an "increase" rating [5]

Bond Market Insights - The bond market has shown a divergence in yield trends since August 2025, with short-term yields stable and long-term yields increasing significantly [6]. - The current liquidity is relatively loose, leading to an optimistic outlook for pure bonds, with the 10-year government bond yield expected to stabilize around 1.7% [6]. - Convertible bonds have underperformed relative to underlying stocks since August 25, but the long-term outlook remains positive due to strong demand and limited supply [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - In August 2025, both CPI and PPI were flat month - on - month. CPI decreased year - on - year, while core CPI increased year - on - year. PPI's year - on - year decline narrowed, and its month - on - month decline stopped [1][2]. - Regarding interest - rate bonds, since August 2025, the yield of treasury bonds has shown a significant divergence, with the short - end relatively stable and the long - end rising. Given the current loose liquidity, one should be optimistic about pure bonds, and the fluctuation center of the 10Y treasury bond yield is 1.7% [3][26]. - For convertible bonds, from August 25th to the present, convertible bonds have underperformed underlying stocks and are in a stage of high - level valuation compression. In the long run, convertible bonds are still relatively high - quality assets, and opportunities for allocation emerge after short - term declines [3][31]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event - On September 10, 2025, the National Bureau of Statistics released the CPI and PPI data for August 2025. In August, CPI decreased by 0.4% year - on - year (previous value: 0%), core CPI increased by 0.9% year - on - year (previous value: 0.8%); PPI decreased by 2.9% year - on - year (previous value: - 3.6%) [1][6]. 3.2 Comment 3.2.1 CPI - In August 2025, CPI's year - on - year growth rate decreased by 0.4 percentage points compared to July, and the month - on - month growth rate was 0%. Both the year - on - year and month - on - month growth rates declined compared to the previous month. This month's CPI was within the seasonal fluctuation range [2][7]. - Structurally, food prices' year - on - year decline continued to widen (year - on - year: - 4.3%, previous value: - 1.6%), energy prices continued to fall (transport fuel: year - on - year - 7.1%, month - on - month - 0.9%), service prices' year - on - year growth rate increased (up 0.6% in August, 0.1 percentage points higher than July), and the year - on - year increase of core CPI continued to expand for the fourth consecutive month (up 0.9% in August, previous value: 0.8%) [2][8][11]. 3.2.2 PPI - In August, PPI's year - on - year growth rate was - 2.9% (July: - 3.6%), with the decline narrowing; the month - on - month growth rate was 0% (July: - 0.2%), ending eight consecutive months of negative growth [2][16]. - Structurally, the year - on - year growth rate of production materials prices was - 3.2% (July: - 4.3%), with the decline narrowing; the year - on - year growth rate of living materials prices was - 1.7% (July: - 1.6%), with a slight expansion in the decline. Among production materials, the year - on - year declines of mining, raw materials, and processing industries all narrowed, and the month - on - month growth rate of mining industry prices increased significantly [20]. - Looking forward, with the continuous implementation of the "anti - involution" policy, the current year - on - year PPI growth rate may be at the bottom and on the rise, but there is obvious structural differentiation, and the price increase of upstream mining has not been significantly transmitted to mid - and downstream industrial products [2][20]. 3.3 Bond Market Views 3.3.1 Interest - rate Bonds - Since August 2025, the yield of treasury bonds has shown a significant divergence. The short - end has fluctuated little (the average yield of 1Y treasury bonds in July was 1.36%, and from August 1st to September 9th, it was 1.37%), while the long - end has increased significantly (the average yields of 10Y and 30Y treasury bonds from August 1st to September 9th increased by 9bp and 15bp respectively compared to July). Currently, the sentiment in the interest - rate bond market is still weak. Looking ahead, due to the loose liquidity, one should be optimistic about pure bonds, and the fluctuation center of the 10Y treasury bond yield is 1.7% [26]. 3.3.2 Convertible Bonds - As of September 9, 2025, the CSI Convertible Bond Index rose by 15.2%, slightly lower than the equity market. Currently, convertible bonds' valuations are close to or exceed historical highs, so adjustments are inevitable. From August 25th to the present, convertible bonds have underperformed underlying stocks and are in a stage of high - level valuation compression. In the long run, given the expectation of a slow - bull equity market and the pattern where the demand in the convertible bond market exceeds supply, convertible bonds are still relatively high - quality assets, and opportunities for allocation emerge after short - term declines [31].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The current bond market lacks a new main driving force, and the strengthening of the equity market has significantly increased market risk appetite, continuously suppressing bond market sentiment, especially reflected in the increased selling pressure on the ultra - long end of interest - rate bonds, leading to a continuous widening of the spread between the 10 - year and 30 - year bonds. The "strong stock, weak bond" linkage effect is enhanced, and in the short term, liquidity factors may surpass fundamentals and the money market to become the core logic guiding bond market trading.
