Core Viewpoint - The bond market is experiencing a resurgence as the People's Bank of China (PBOC) signals a potential restart of government bond trading operations, which is seen as a pivotal moment for the market [1][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Following the PBOC's announcement on October 27, bond yields fell across the board, igniting enthusiasm among market participants, particularly funds and brokerages, who began aggressively purchasing bonds [1][7]. - By October 30, the bond market continued to show a "bullish" trend, although the rate of yield decline had moderated to between 0.5 and 1.5 basis points [7]. - The market has shown signs of stabilization after previous adjustments, but the space for further rate declines is perceived to be limited, with a focus on capturing short-term trading opportunities [2][5]. Group 2: Policy Background - The PBOC's bond trading operations are part of its open market operations aimed at regulating market liquidity and enhancing the financial function of government bonds [4]. - The previous suspension of these operations was due to significant supply-demand imbalances and accumulated market risks [4][5]. - The anticipated resumption of operations is expected to help coordinate with fiscal policies and mitigate potential supply shocks from increased local government bond issuances in the upcoming quarters [5][6]. Group 3: Future Expectations - Market participants are keenly interested in the timing and methods of the PBOC's bond purchases, with expectations that the central bank will optimize its approach to minimize market disruption [11][12]. - Analysts suggest that the PBOC's bond purchases will likely focus on short-term bonds, with a potential scale of around 1 trillion yuan, maintaining a controlled impact on the market [13][14]. - The central bank's actions are viewed as necessary to inject liquidity into the market, especially as previous bond purchases are set to mature, which could otherwise lead to liquidity contraction [14].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - Referring to the experience of Japan and South Korea during their technology transformation phases, the technology bull market did not significantly impact the bond market. Bond investors need not overly worry about the ongoing technology bull market in the equity market. The linkage between stock and bond markets is more of a short - term factor, and long - term bond market pricing should still consider fundamental factors [1][3][31]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. Overseas Experience of the Impact of the Technology Stock Bull Market on the Bond Market Japan: From "Trade - Oriented" to "Technology - Oriented" - After World War II, Japan implemented a "trade - oriented" economic strategy, achieving relatively high economic growth from 1956 - 1973. In the 1970s, due to the loss of labor dividends and the oil crisis, Japan shifted towards a technology - oriented economy [1][10]. - The government introduced a series of policies to support high - tech industries. The VLSI plan promoted the development of the semiconductor industry, leading to a technology stock bull market. From 1970 - 1985, the Nikkei 225 index rose from about 2300 to about 13000, and the information and communication industry index reached 31.75 in 1985, compared to 1 in January 1970 [13][14]. - From 1975 - 1985, the Japanese bond market was highly volatile, mainly due to the two oil crises in 1973 and 1980. The bond yield changed with inflation and policy interest rates, and the stock - bond seesaw effect was not significant. After 1980, there was a period of stock - bond double - bull [18]. South Korea: Comprehensive Promotion of Technology Transformation - South Korea's economic transformation was similar to Japan's, gradually shifting from labor - intensive to capital - intensive and then to technology - intensive. In 1986, it proposed a technology - oriented strategy and launched a series of plans to support high - tech industries [2][23]. - After 1986, the South Korean stock market entered two accelerated growth periods. In the first half of 1997, the stock market rebounded, led by the electrical and electronic equipment industry, while the national bond yield remained stable or declined, showing a simultaneous strengthening of stock and bond markets [2][26]. Comparison with China - China is currently in an important economic transformation stage, with the economic growth engine shifting from traditional industries to emerging industries, and the role of consumption in driving domestic demand increasing. China has formed a technology - led equity market bullish atmosphere [3][29]. - Similar to Japan and South Korea, the linkage between the stock and bond markets in China may be limited. The stock - bond seesaw effect in the third quarter was likely due to short - term factors, and the long - term bond market pricing depends on fundamental and policy factors [3][30].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View - The Fed's rate cuts can be divided into preventive and relief (recessionary) rate cuts, with different policy triggering backgrounds and implementation goals [1][5]. - The Fed's preventive rate cut in September 2025 may have limited impact on China's bond market, as China's monetary policy emphasizes "independence" and focuses more on internal balance [1][88][89]. - In the fourth quarter, the economic downward pressure may increase, and the possibility of using policy tools such as RRR cuts and interest rate cuts in the future rises. Currently, the bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may decline oscillating [2][90]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Types of Fed Rate Cuts - Preventive rate cuts are usually initiated when the economy shows signs of slowing but has not yet entered a recession, aiming to balance employment and inflation risks through small - scale and gradual interest rate adjustments, such as in 1995, 1998, 2019, 2024, and 2025 [1][5][79]. - Relief rate cuts often occur when the economy has fallen into a deep recession or faces a systemic crisis, characterized by large - scale and rapid interest rate cuts to stabilize the financial market, such as in 2001 - 2003, 2007 - 2008, and 2020 [1][5]. 2. Four Fed Rate - Cut Cycles Since 2000 2.1. 2001 - 2003 Relief Rate Cut - **Background and measures**: Triggered by the burst of the Internet bubble, the 9/11 terrorist attack, and corporate financial scandals. The Fed cut rates by 550 basis points from 6.5% to 1.0% [10]. - **US economic indicators**: GDP growth was sluggish, unemployment rate rose, core PCE inflation rate declined, and corporate investment was severely hit [13]. - **Impact on China's bond market**: China's central bank cut rates in 2002. The 1 - year and 10 - year Treasury yields showed different trends, reflecting the reduced sensitivity of the bond market to monetary easing when the domestic economy rebounded [19]. 2.2. 2007 - 2008 Relief Rate Cut - **Time, amplitude, and measures**: From September 2007 to December 2008, the Fed cut rates by 500 basis points to 0% - 0.25% and launched three rounds of QE [25][28]. - **Characteristics**: Fast - paced, large - amplitude, innovative policy tools, and multiple goals [29]. - **Impact on China's bond market**: The Sino - US yield spread narrowed and then fluctuated. There were changes in capital flows, with short - term international capital flowing in and out at different times [30][33][36]. 2.3. 2019 - 2020 Preventive + Relief Rate Cut - **Preventive rate cut (2019.7 - 2019.10)**: Against the background of global economic slowdown and Sino - US trade frictions, the Fed cut rates three times by 25 basis points each time. The US economy showed some recovery, and the bond market fluctuated. In China, the bond market was stable, and foreign capital increased holdings of RMB bonds [40][41][51]. - **Relief rate cut (2020.3)**: Due to the global public health event, the Fed cut rates to 0% - 0.25% and implemented unlimited QE. China also increased the easing intensity, and the bond yield declined and then rebounded [46][47][58]. 2.4. 2024 H2 Preventive Rate Cut - **Background, time, amplitude, and impact**: The Fed cut rates by 100 basis points in the second half of 2024, with a "fast - then - stable" feature. It aimed to avoid a hard landing of the economy. China's bond yields declined, and foreign capital increased holdings of Chinese bonds [60][66][67]. 3. Characteristics of the Preventive Rate Cut in 2025 - **Trigger paths**: Driven by the pressure of national debt scale and debt cost, and the marginal deterioration of the employment market [71][76]. - **Market pricing and yield trends**: The market had partially priced in the rate cut before it happened. After the rate cut in September 2025, the US Treasury yields first declined and then rose [79][80][82]. 4. Impact of the Fed's Rate - Cut Cycle on China's Bond Market - **Short - term impact**: The Fed's rate - cut expectation may attract foreign capital to flow into China's bond market through spread repair and open up space for domestic monetary policy [1][84]. - **Long - term impact**: China's bond market trend may depend more on domestic factors, including economic fundamentals and policy coordination. The influence of the Fed's policy on China's monetary policy may be weakening [87][88]. 5. Economic Situation and Bond Market Outlook in the Fourth Quarter - **Economic situation**: The economic growth in Q3 slowed down compared with Q1 and Q2. Consumption and exports may face pressure, and the external environment is also unstable, increasing the possibility of using policy tools [2][90]. - **Bond market outlook**: The bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may decline oscillating. The 10 - year Treasury yield is expected to fluctuate between 1.60% - 1.80% [2][90].
