Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The upward space for the bond market is relatively limited.

Institutions with stable liability ends can look for allocation opportunities and buy on the dips, while those with unstable liability ends need to wait for further long - buying opportunities [2][20]. 3.
