1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current VAT policy on bonds is short - term positive and long - term neutral. In the short term, it is beneficial to existing bonds, potentially triggering a pre - layout market for "snapping up old bonds." However, the expected continued decline in interest rates on Monday did not occur, as the improvement in the stock market weakened the bond market, and the "rumor" of the China Development Bank bonds drove up the long - term Treasury bond rates. In the medium term, the policy impact on the bond market tends to be neutral. Despite the intention to divert funds to the stock market, the trend of funds chasing the bond market is difficult to completely reverse due to the "asset shortage" and loose liquidity [2][3][21][22] 3.

In July, the manufacturing industry entered the traditional off - season, and factors such as high temperatures and floods in some areas led to the decline of PMI data [24]
