Group 1 - Major commercial banks have lowered RMB deposit rates, with the one-year fixed deposit rate falling below 1% for the first time, sparking discussions on investment and financial planning in a low-interest-rate environment [2] - The market had anticipated this decline in deposit rates, as the need for monetary policy to stimulate the economy and stabilize the housing market continues, leading to a decrease in loan rates and a historical low net interest margin of 1.43% for commercial banks [2] - The ongoing trend of declining interest rates will significantly impact investment and financial planning strategies [4] Group 2 - In the current low-interest-rate environment, traditional financial products that guarantee returns, such as fixed deposits and certain insurance products, offer limited yields, making them less suitable for investors seeking substantial returns [4] - The capital market is experiencing an "asset shortage," where investors struggle to obtain returns that match the risks they are taking, leading to a need for a shift in investment strategy [6] - A recommended investment approach is to extend the investment horizon and focus on long-term value growth, aligning with the national encouragement for "patient capital" to support new productive forces and high-quality development in the capital market [6] Group 3 - Options for investing as "patient capital" include investing in stocks or funds with a long-term perspective, avoiding short-term trading, and maintaining emotional stability during market fluctuations [8] - Another option is to purchase participating insurance, allowing insurance companies, which are skilled in long-term investments, to manage assets while ensuring capital preservation and potential high returns from economic recovery [8]

Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Report's Core View - Fundamental factors are unlikely to break the narrow - range fluctuation pattern of the bond market. The decline in deposit rates is a short - term positive for non - bank allocation demand. The bond market is reasonably priced compared to credit and other broad - spectrum interest rates, but has a lower cost - performance ratio compared to the stock market. Chinese bonds are a global interest - rate low - lying area. In the short term, continue to focus on non - bank allocation, PMI data, and bond supply. The judgment that the 10 - year Treasury bond will fluctuate in the range of 1.5% - 1.8% remains unchanged. [6] - In terms of operations, continue to recommend 3 - and 5 - year credit bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds, and seek opportunities for spread compression through short - end credit downgrading and long - end high - grade bonds. Long - term and ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds are more suitable for trading than allocation, and continue to buy on dips. The cost - performance ratio of the previously recommended ultra - long local bonds has slightly weakened, while that of policy - financial bonds has slightly increased. [6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs This Week's Strategy View: Looking for Opportunities along the Bond Market Pricing System - Last week, the funding situation was stable. Economic data was released, and the cuts in deposit rates and LPR were implemented. The auction result of the 50 - year Treasury bond was poor, and yields fluctuated within a narrow range. Throughout the week, the yield of the active 10 - year Treasury bond rose 1BP to 1.69% compared to the previous week, the 10 - year CDB bond yield fell 1BP to 1.74%, and the 30 - year Treasury bond yield remained unchanged at 1.92%. The 10 - 1 - year term spread widened, and credit spreads remained largely unchanged. [10] - The bond market has been in a narrow - range fluctuation pattern since the suspension of Sino - US tariffs. Last week's deposit - rate cut failed to break the bond - market equilibrium. Currently, investors generally believe that the bond market has a high probability of winning but a low odds ratio. The report explores bond - market pricing from multiple dimensions. [11] Comparison with Credit and Other Broad - Spectrum Interest Rates - The pricing of the bond market is basically reasonable. There is a transmission between bonds and deposits/loans through the price - comparison effect and institutional behavior. After the recent LPR cut, some banks maintained the original 3% mortgage rate for new mortgages. If 3% is the bottom line for mortgage rates, the 30 - year Treasury bond rate may have also bottomed out. Currently, the 30 - year Treasury bond is 2BP higher than the after - tax mortgage rate, with limited upside. [12][13] - In practice, three factors prevent a simple comparison between bonds and loans: different availability of the two types of assets, the influence of non - bank trading desks not being considered, and banks' asset - allocation decisions being affected by multiple factors other than just returns. The cut in deposit rates directly benefits non - bank bond allocation. In the future, banks will face increased difficulty in liability management. [14][15] Comparison with Overseas Markets - Chinese bonds have become a global interest - rate low - lying area, but the short - term adjustment risk is limited. Recently, the sharp rise in US and Japanese bond yields has attracted global attention. The root causes are the reshaping of the global financial order, high debt levels, tight monetary policies, and large - scale long - bond auctions. [2] - China's interest rates are at a global low, especially at the ultra - long end. However, there is no need to worry about Chinese bond yields rising in tandem with overseas markets in the short term, as the influence of overseas interest rates on the Chinese bond market is limited. In the process of global capital reallocation, Chinese bonds and stocks may be relatively beneficiary assets. In the long run (2 - 3 years), there are concerns about the repricing of term spreads. [2][22][26] Comparison with the Stock Market - The bond market has a lower cost - performance ratio compared to the stock market. Currently, the dividend yields of the CSI 300, the dividend index, and the Hang Seng High - Dividend Index are approximately 3.4%, 6.7%, and 8% respectively. Considering the tax - exemption effect of insurance investments in Hong Kong stocks, their value far exceeds that of investing in ultra - long bonds. [3] - In the past two years, the imbalance in the cost - performance ratio between stocks and bonds has persisted. The core reason is that stocks carry price - fluctuation risks while offering high dividends. If the stock market can maintain an upward - trending and less - volatile pattern, there is a possibility of bond - market funds gradually flowing into the stock market to achieve a balance between stocks and bonds. [3] Comparison of Spreads among Bond Market Varieties - Regarding the pricing model of policy rates → funds → short - end → long - end, currently, the role of the MLF policy rate has diminished, and OMO is the most important pricing anchor in the bond market. However, the current term spreads are relatively flat, making it difficult to price long - term and ultra - long - term bonds according to historical rules. In the future, it is difficult for the yield - curve shape to steepen trendily, and investors should focus on finding relative opportunities. [31][32] - In terms of credit spreads, in the context of debt resolution and stricter urban - investment supervision in recent years, the "scarcity of credit assets" has become more prominent. Credit spreads still have room for compression. Specifically, avoid 1 - year ordinary credit bonds for now; 3 - 5 - year credit spreads still offer good value, and high - grade (AAA) credit spreads over 5 years are relatively attractive. Currently, inter - bank certificates of deposit have a better cost - performance ratio than short - term credit bonds, but there may be supply - demand disturbances at certain times. [33][34] - The spreads among bond varieties have significantly compressed. Low - liquidity policy - financial bonds have a slightly better cost - performance ratio, while the cost - performance ratio of local bonds has slightly weakened. [40] This Week's Operation Suggestions - Currently, the bond - market pricing is reasonable compared to credit and other broad - spectrum interest rates, but has a lower cost - performance ratio compared to overseas markets and the stock market. The fundamentals are still in a state of differentiation and bottom - grinding. The decline in deposit rates is positive for non - bank allocation demand. The long - term trend of the bond market has not reversed, but the trading space is limited, and it remains in a narrow - range fluctuation pattern in the short term. [42] - The market lacks major catalysts, so only short - term information such as funds and institutional behavior can be traded. This week, pay attention to PMI and credit - demand data, which are expected to be relatively strong and slightly negative for bonds. In terms of funds, as this week enters the end - of - month trading period, the funding center may rise slightly, but the central bank is expected to provide active support. In terms of institutional behavior, the deposit - rate cut last week led to an increase in inter - bank certificates of deposit and increased subscriptions of funds by wealth - management products, indicating that deposit migration is occurring, providing real - world support for bond - market allocation demand. [42] - In the medium term, the decline in broad - spectrum interest rates will have a certain impact on the bond market. The low of the 10 - year Treasury bond this year is expected to be around 1.5%, but it may be difficult to break through in the second quarter. The upper limit is expected to be between 1.7% - 1.8%. Therefore, if there is further adjustment from the current level, consider entering the market for allocation. [42] - In terms of operations, continue to recommend 3 - and 5 - year credit bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds, and seek opportunities for spread compression through short - end credit downgrading and long - end high - grade bonds. The narrow - range fluctuation pattern of long - term and ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds remains unchanged, so continue to buy on dips. The cost - performance ratio of the previously recommended ultra - long local bonds has slightly weakened, while that of policy - financial bonds has slightly increased. Inter - bank certificates of deposit are initially in the allocation range, but may fluctuate at relatively high levels due to liability - side disturbances. [44] This Week's Core Focus This week, focus on China's industrial - enterprise profits in April, the official manufacturing PMI in May, the euro - zone economic sentiment index in May, the Fed's monetary - policy meeting minutes in May, the US PCE in April, and the end - of - month funding situation.

Core Viewpoint - The recent performance of rental housing REITs has shown significant excess returns, supported by rental price advantages and demand from end consumers, indicating a strong potential for stable operations through 2025 [1][4]. Group 1: Market Performance - The Huatai Suzhou Hengtai Rental Housing REIT triggered trading halts twice within its first week of listing due to high price increases, reaching 3.554 yuan per share and 3.909 yuan per share, respectively [2][3]. - The REITs market has demonstrated strong performance, with six rental housing REITs showing monthly increases of over 18% since the second half of 2024, peaking at a 47% increase in January 2025 [4][7]. Group 2: Investment Demand - The Huatai Suzhou Hengtai Rental Housing REIT saw an unprecedented oversubscription of 222.64 times during its issuance phase, indicating strong investor interest [3][4]. - The demand for rental housing REITs is driven by a combination of stable rental income, low-risk profiles, and favorable regulatory support, making them attractive to institutional investors [4][6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since 2021, the logic of the "asset shortage" in the bond market is not applicable this year. Instead, the bond market presents a "liability shortage." The liability gap and structure are the main lines of bond market trading this year [2][5][12]. - The bond market is unlikely to rise trend - wise. Only continuous negative carry can drive the trend - wise correction of long - term interest rates. The probability of a tightening of capital prices in the second quarter is not high, and the market interest rate is expected to fluctuate in the range of 1.5% - 1.6% [2][8][22]. - The bond market has no obvious odds recently. A 10bp positive carry can boost the inter - bank bond market leverage ratio by about 0.1 - 0.2 percentage points. The current positive carry amplitude is insufficient, restricting the market's enthusiasm for leveraging [2][8][30]. - It is recommended to allocate when the 10 - year Treasury bond yield is above 1.65% and the 30 - year Treasury bond yield is above 1.9%. Institutions with stable liabilities can appropriately focus on the coupon opportunities of credit bonds with a term of more than 3 years [2][8][34]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 From "Asset Shortage" to "Liability Shortage", Bond Market Volatility - Before 2024, the "asset shortage" was the main line of the bond market. Due to the downward pressure on the real estate industry and the establishment of the regulatory red line for local implicit debt, credit expansion was constrained. Since this year, with the adjustment of the social financing structure and the relative stability of credit, the "asset shortage" is no longer the main contradiction. The supply of government bonds has increased, and the social financing growth rate has rebounded to 8.7% in April [5][12]. - While the asset supply has increased, the bond market faces a "liability shortage." The central bank's attitude is not the only source of liability pressure. Currently, the market style is more trading - oriented, lacking stable - liability configuration forces. Insurance's premium income growth has declined significantly this year, and its trading attribute has increased; wealth management is undergoing rectification, reducing the allocation of less - liquid credit bonds; public funds have a strong wait - and - see sentiment [8][19]. 3.2 Difficulty in Trend - wise Market, Focus on Curve Trading Opportunities - The bond market is difficult to rise trend - wise. In a relatively stable fundamental situation, only continuous negative carry can drive the trend - wise correction of long - term interest rates. The current fundamental situation is relatively stable, but the real interest rate is high, and there is still uncertainty in the fundamental recovery. The probability of a tightening of capital prices in the second quarter is not high [8][22]. - The bond market has no obvious odds recently. Although the bond market has returned to the positive carry range, the amplitude is insufficient, restricting the market's enthusiasm for leveraging. A 10bp increase in carry can increase the inter - bank bond market leverage ratio by 0.14 and 0.21 percentage points respectively. Since May, the average monthly inter - bank bond market leverage ratio has increased by about 0.2 percentage points compared with April [8][30]. - Before the bond market shows sufficient odds, it is difficult to have a trend - wise market. It is expected that the 10 - year Treasury bond yield will fluctuate around 1.6% - 1.7%. It is recommended to capture trading opportunities along the yield curve. Institutions with stable liabilities can focus on the coupon opportunities of credit bonds with a term of more than 3 years [8][34].
