1. Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "10-year Treasury yield - CSI 300 dividend yield" is used as the core indicator to observe the cost - performance ratio between stocks and bonds. The current difference is near the +1 standard deviation of the one - year rolling window and at the upper limit of the past three years, indicating that the bond's allocation value is gradually increasing, but it is not yet the time for re - allocation between stocks and bonds, and the bond market still has upward pressure [3][4][5]. - The asymmetric compression of the indicator's range since 2021 is unsustainable, and the range may return to the historical normal state of [-2 standard deviations, +2 standard deviations] due to factors such as the upward revision of fundamental expectations and the increase in investors' risk appetite [4][63][64]. - In the short term, the bond market is under phased pressure due to factors such as the strengthening of M1 year - on - year data, the increase in market risk appetite, and the expectation of "anti - involution" policies. Attention should be paid to the redemption situation of bond - type funds to avoid potential negative feedback effects [7][69]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Bond Market Weekly Review: Treasury Yields Fluctuated Upward - From August 11th to 15th, Treasury yields fluctuated upward, with the stock - bond seesaw effect dominating the bond market. The 1 - year and 10 - year Treasury yields rose by 1.59bp and 5.74bp respectively, closing at 1.3665% and 1.7465% [2][12]. - On August 11th - 12th, the bond market sentiment was under pressure due to the continuous strengthening of the equity market. On August 13th, after the release of the July financial data, the 10 - year Treasury yield slightly declined under the game of multiple and short factors. On August 14th, the bond market yield fluctuated due to the rise and fall of the equity market and the central bank's reverse - repurchase operation. On August 15th, the Treasury yield reversed and rose due to the strong rebound of the equity market [12][13]. 3.2 Bond Market Data Tracking 3.2.1 Funding Situation: Funding Rates First Declined and Then Rose - From August 11th to 15th, the central bank's open - market operations had a net withdrawal of 4,149.00 million yuan. The R001 and DR001 rose, while the R007 and DR007 declined. The SHIBOR rate also showed an upward trend [25][26][37]. - The difference between R007 and DR007 narrowed, indicating a narrowing of the funding cost difference between non - bank institutions and banks. The term spread of FR007S5Y - FR007S1Y widened [26]. 3.2.2 Supply Side: Total Issuance and Net Financing Decreased - From August 11th to 15th, the total issuance of interest - rate bonds decreased, and the net financing amount also decreased. The issuance of government bonds decreased, and the net financing of Treasury bonds and local government bonds decreased [41][44][51]. - The issuance scale of inter - bank certificates of deposit decreased, and the net financing amount decreased. The issuance scale of state - owned commercial banks was the highest among different bank types, and the 1 - year term had the highest issuance scale among different term types [51]. 3.3 Next Week's Outlook and Strategy 3.3.1 Current Position of Stock - Bond Cost - Performance Ratio - The "10 - year Treasury yield - CSI 300 dividend yield" is used to measure the stock - bond cost - performance ratio. Since 2021, the fluctuation range has been asymmetrically compressed, but it is expected to return to the historical normal state [3][61][63]. - As of August 15, 2025, the 10 - year Treasury yield was about 1.74%, the CSI 300 dividend yield was 2.76%, and the stock - bond yield difference was - 1.02% [4][63]. 3.3.2 Next Week's Outlook: The Central Funding Rate May Rise Due to Tax - Period Disturbance - Next week, the supply pressure of Treasury bonds will increase. The planned issuance of Treasury bonds is 36.2 billion yuan, and that of local government bonds is 36.915 billion yuan [67]. - Due to the tax - period disturbance and the expiration of reverse - repurchases, the central funding rate may rise [68]. 3.3.3 Bond Market Strategy: The Bond Market is Under Phased Pressure, and Potential Negative Feedback Effects Should be Watched Out - The bond market is under phased pressure due to factors such as the strengthening of M1 year - on - year data, the increase in market risk appetite, and the expectation of "anti - involution" policies [7][69]. - The strengthening of the equity market is the biggest risk for the bond market. Attention should be paid to the redemption situation of bond - type funds to avoid potential bond - market stampede risks [7][69]. 3.4 Global Major Assets - US Treasury yields generally rose, and the curve steepened. The 10Y - 2Y term spread widened by 7bp to 58bp [72]. - The US dollar index declined, and the US dollar against the RMB central parity rate slightly decreased. The prices of gold, silver, and crude oil all fell [72][73].

Core Insights - The Shanghai Composite Index has reached a 10-year high, igniting market enthusiasm and raising concerns about potential blind chasing of high prices among investors [1] Group 1: Current Market Conditions - The rapid increase in market prices may attract new investors, leading to a higher probability of blind chasing [1] - The current market uptrend, while not as extreme as last year's surge post-National Day, still poses a risk of correction if the pace accelerates [2] - Significant increases in trading volume and leverage indicate both positive inflows and rising profit-taking pressure, necessitating close monitoring of margin financing balances [2] Group 2: Risk Signals - The balance between stock and bond valuations is approaching historical equilibrium, which typically leads to a consolidation phase; excessive reliance on valuation expansion could signal overly high risk appetite [2] - Industries with rapid valuation expansion may embed unrealistic profit expectations, accumulating risk if actual performance does not meet these expectations [3] - High trading volumes in specific sectors could indicate both informed investment and irrational speculation, with large turnover potentially signaling profit-taking by seasoned investors [3] Group 3: Sector-Specific Cautions - Not all industries with significant prior gains are inherently risky; the key factor is whether valuations have expanded too quickly [3] - The phenomenon of capital flowing from leading companies to smaller, less profitable firms may indicate that the main investment thesis for a sector has been fully explored [3]

Group 1 - The short-term logic of the bond market may have shifted from "fundamentals + liquidity" to "asset allocation" since July, with the bond market under pressure despite a relatively loose funding environment [6][10][28] - The 10-year government bond yield has shown an upward trend, primarily due to the thin safety cushion of fixed-income products and the cooling of fixed-income assets under the asset allocation effect [6][10][28] Group 2 - Key clues to the evolution of bond market logic include: 1) Reallocation of resident assets due to declining deposit rates since 2022, leading to a weakening of the bond market's profit-making effect [14][16] 2) An increase in residents' risk appetite, with equity assets potentially becoming the focus of asset reallocation [17][20] 3) Low odds and win rates for bond assets, as long-term bond yields have already priced in future rate cuts [18][21] Group 3 - The critical points for the rebalancing of stock and bond value include: 1) The relative comparison of dividend yields and bond yields [30] 2) Fund flows, with a potential shift in investor enthusiasm from bonds to stocks [30] 3) Changes in fundamentals, where unexpected pressures on the economy could lead to a resurgence in the bond market [30] Group 4 - The bond market strategy indicates that while risks are being released, a cautious judgment is maintained, with the 10-year government bond yield around 1.7% being unattractive [28][31] - The bond market may experience volatility from August to October, with the yield expected to range between 1.65% and 1.80%, and the potential for a steepening yield curve [28][31]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Chinese economy is in a marginal de - leveraging process, with the liability growth rate of the real - sector expected to decline. The government aims to stabilize the macro - leverage ratio, and the monetary policy will generally remain neutral and difficult to be continuously loose. The market is currently affected by risk preference, and the subsequent trends of risk preference, economic recovery, and the US economy need to be focused on [2][3][7] - In the context of the contraction of the national balance sheet, the allocation of financial assets should adopt a dumbbell - shaped strategy. The bond market is the large base, and the stock market is the small head. The stock allocation strategy is dividend plus growth, and the bond allocation strategy is duration plus credit - sinking [25] - In the contraction cycle, the equity - bond ratio favors equities to a limited extent, and the value style is more likely to be dominant. Red - dividend stocks with characteristics of non - expansion, good profitability, and survival are recommended [12][67] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 National Balance Sheet Analysis - **Liability Side**: In July 2025, the liability growth rate of the real sector was 9.0%, with a lower - than - expected rebound. It is expected to decline to 8.9% in August and further to 8% by the end of the year. The government's liability growth rate is also expected to decline from 15.7% in July to 14.8% in August and 12.5% by the end of the year. The money market has tightened marginally, and the peak of the money market in August was likely in the first week [2][3][21] - **Monetary Policy**: The trading volume of funds decreased last week, and the price was stable. The one - year Treasury yield rose to 1.37%, and the term spread widened. The estimated lower limit of the one - year Treasury yield is 1.3%, the ten - year Treasury yield is about 1.6%, and the thirty - year Treasury yield is about 1.8% [3][22] - **Asset Side**: After a brief stabilization in June, the physical volume data declined again in July. The annual real economic growth target for 2025 is about 5%, and the nominal economic growth target is about 4.9%. Whether this will be the central target for the next 1 - 2 years needs further observation [4][23] 3.2 Stock - Bond Ratio and Stock - Bond Style - **Market Performance Last Week**: The money market tightened marginally, but risk preference increased. Stocks rose, and bonds fell. The equity growth style was dominant, and the stock - bond ratio favored stocks, breaking through the previous high on August 15th [6][26] - **Future Outlook**: The trend of risk preference is uncertain. There are three possible scenarios: range - bound fluctuations, a short - term upward trend, or a fundamental change in the subjective weighting of Chinese profitability. A portfolio of growth - type equity assets and long - term bonds is recommended, with a 70% position in the CSI 1000 Index and a 30% position in the 30 - year Treasury ETF [10][11][29] 3.3 Industry Recommendation - **Industry Performance Review**: The A - share market rose this week. The communication, electronics, non - bank finance, power equipment, and computer sectors had the largest increases, while the bank, steel, textile and apparel, coal, and public utilities sectors had the largest declines [35] - **Industry Crowding and Trading Volume**: As of August 15th, the top five crowded industries were electronics, computer, power equipment, machinery, and non - bank finance.

Industries with high 2024 full - year profit forecasts and relatively low current valuations include banks, coal, and oil and petrochemicals [41][42] - **Industry Prosperity**: External demand generally declined. The global manufacturing PMI decreased in July, and the CCFI index fell. Domestic indicators such as port throughput and industrial capacity utilization showed mixed trends [46] - **Public Fund Market Review**: In the second week of August, most active public equity funds outperformed the CSI 300. As of August 15th, the net asset value of active public equity funds was slightly higher than that in Q4 2024 [62] - **Industry Recommendation**: In the contraction cycle, the equity - bond ratio favors equities to a limited extent, and the value style is more likely to be dominant. An A + H red - dividend portfolio of 20 stocks and an A - share portfolio of 20 stocks, mainly concentrated in banks, telecommunications, and other industries, are recommended [12][67]
