Report Title - "The Arduous Waiting Period: A New Balance in the Bond Market under the Asset Allocation Mainline - Outlook for the Bond Market in September 2025" [1] Report Date - September 3, 2025 [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Since 2022, the transmission from broad credit to the fundamentals seems to be weakening. The stock - bond seesaw effect since 2025 may be driven by new logic: anti - involution has reversed the macro narrative since 2024, and the rise of the stock market and the improvement of expectations reinforce each other [5][108][165] - The stock - bond seesaw is just an appearance. The deeper reason is that in a low - interest - rate environment, residents' asset allocation behavior has changed substantially. Deposits and pure bonds have entered a low - return range, and funds are seeking more cost - effective alternative assets, increasing the demand for stock - bond hybrid products [8][113][165] - In 2025, the supply of long - duration government bonds has increased more significantly, leading to an imbalance between supply and demand and a steeper term spread [8][132][165] - Currently, the core issue is the lack of continuous buying power from allocation players, and trading players are mainly engaged in speculation [7][165] Summary by Directory 1. Analysis of the Bond Market Trend from January to Date and Its Macroeconomic Logic - **2025 Q1**: Tight funds and prominent bank liability pressure led to a bond market correction [16] - **2025 Q2**: Repeated tariff expectations, along with potential reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts, caused yields to decline rapidly to a low level and then fluctuate [18] - **2025 July - August**: Anti - involution expectations, the stock - bond seesaw effect, and fund diversion led to a bond market correction. In August, the term spread of treasury bonds expanded, and the duration strategy began to collapse. The credit spreads of secondary perpetual bonds and medium - term notes first increased and then decreased [20][22][27] - **Summary**: Since the beginning of the year, long - term interest rates have repeatedly attempted to break through previous lows but failed, and the interest rate bottom has been rising (the bond YTM has shown an arc - bottom pattern since the beginning of the year) [4][39][48] 2. Understanding the Deviation among Funds, Certificates of Deposit (CDs), and the Bond Market - **6 - 8 months**: Overall, funds were loose to support bond issuance, stabilize the economy, and hedge the impact of the stock market on the bond market. After the double cuts in May, the central bank's medium - and long - term liquidity net injection from January to August 2025 totaled 3.98 trillion yuan, significantly exceeding historical levels [52][55][100] - **September**: Both medium - and long - term liquidity and CD maturities are high. The first ten days may be an important window to observe the central bank's attitude. The central bank may conduct 3 - month outright reverse repurchases to hedge [68][98][100] - **Deviation since July**: Funds have been loose, but CD prices have remained rigid. The CD price has a seasonal pattern of bottoming out and rising in the third quarter. Rising stock market trading activity, increased net supply of government bonds, and other factors have contributed to this situation [69][88][95] - **CD Pressure Relief**: Focus on whether the central bank conducts 3 - month outright reverse repurchases in early September. Consider whether there will be another double cut around the beginning of the fourth quarter to relieve economic and bank liability pressure [98][100] 3. Revisiting Deposit Transfer and Fund Diversion Effects - **Traditional Logic of the Stock - Bond Seesaw**: In most periods, stocks and bonds show a seesaw relationship. The driving logic is the transmission from broad money to broad credit, with expectations of fundamental improvement leading to a rising stock market, rising interest rates, and narrowing credit spreads [103] - **Resident Wealth Transfer**: It is a stock logic. In a low - interest - rate environment, residents are re - allocating assets. The main destinations of deposit diversion in recent years are likely wealth management and insurance. Residents' direct entry into the stock market may still be in the early stage [109][113][120] - **Stock and Bond Financing Comparison**: In 2024, the supply and demand of stocks were weak, while in 2025, supply increased marginally, but demand increased more significantly. In 2024, the supply of bonds was large and demand was strong, but in 2025, supply continued to increase significantly while demand weakened [132][135][139] - **Role of Allocation Players**: Insurance companies have a weaker preference for the bond market and are more interested in high - dividend assets. They are waiting for better prices in the bond market. Rural commercial banks' bond - buying power has weakened, and the bond investment scale of some accounts has shrunk [140][147][154] - **Role of Trading Players**: Since July 2025, wealth management products have been the main buyers during the bond market adjustment, indicating that the liability side of wealth management may still be stable. Pure bond funds have performed poorly this year and have faced continuous redemption pressure [155][159][163] 4. How Much Risk Has the Bond Market Released? - **Adjustment since July**: The adjustment of long - term interest rates is due to the impact of anti - involution expectations on the bond market and the stock - bond re - balance caused by fund diversion. The widening of the term spread is essentially a correction of pessimistic expectations [12] - **Future Risks to Watch**: Expectations of rising inflation, instability of the liability side of wealth management and funds, and the impact of redemptions [12] - **Indicators to Monitor**: The trend of CDs, the entry strength of allocation players, and the performance of credit spreads. The bond market is still under pressure, and a cautious view is maintained. In September, the bond market may continue to be in an arduous waiting period, and attention should be paid to the structural widening pressure of credit spreads [11][12][100]

Core Viewpoint - Despite the weak sentiment in the bond market influenced by the "stock-bond seesaw" effect, credit bonds are currently outperforming interest rate bonds, with analysts suggesting that institutions can still capture coupon assets and seek capital gains in the short term [1][2][3] Group 1: Credit Bond Performance - In August, credit bonds structurally "outperformed" interest rate bonds, with credit spreads not significantly widening [2] - The economic fundamentals remain weak, as indicated by the manufacturing PMI of 49.4 in August, which is below the growth line [2] - The "stock-bond seesaw" effect has weakened, reducing the negative feedback from a bullish stock market on the bond market [2] Group 2: Funding Support - The funding environment is expected to remain stable, with monetary policy maintaining a supportive tone [3] - The second quarter monetary policy report emphasizes a "moderately loose monetary policy" to adapt to domestic and international economic conditions [3] - There is an increasing expectation of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, which could lead to more trading opportunities in the bond market [3] Group 3: Demand Side Support - As of September 2, the yields on credit bonds in the interbank market have decreased, with the 3-month AAA yield down 1 basis point to 1.59% [3] - Bank wealth management products were the main buyers of credit bonds in August, with net purchases of approximately 180 billion yuan [4] - Insurance companies also significantly increased their purchases of credit bonds, with a net buying scale of 56.2 billion yuan in August [4] Group 4: Investment Strategy - It is recommended to focus on short-duration high-yield bonds, particularly city investment bonds with maturities around 2 years [7] - Institutions are advised to selectively consider mid-to-short duration coupon assets with ratings of AA+ and above [7] - Caution is advised for long-duration credit bonds due to limited buying power in the bond market and the absence of clear stabilization in interest rates [7][8]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In August, the "stock - bond seesaw" effect was significant. Interest rates first declined and then rose. Credit bond yields generally followed the upward trend of interest - rate bonds. Short - duration varieties were more resistant to decline, while medium - and long - duration ones were weaker. Looking ahead to September, credit bonds still need defensive strategies [1][11][12]. - After the adjustment in August, some bank capital bonds have fallen to show relative value. For example, 3 - year AA and above second - tier capital bonds are oversold, and 4 - 5 - year large - bank capital bonds also have certain value for accounts with different liability characteristics [29][33][37]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 High - Coupon Short - Term Bonds as Shields, Oversold Perpetual and Second - Tier Capital Bonds as Spears 3.1.1 Credit Bond Defense with Short - and Medium - Duration - In August, the "stock - bond seesaw" effect was prominent. Short - end bonds outperformed long - end ones. Credit bond yields generally rose with interest - rate bonds. Short - duration credit bonds were more resistant to decline, and institutions further shortened the duration to within 3 years. The net buying scale of credit bonds decreased, and the trading activity also declined [1][11][12]. - In September, credit bonds need defense. Bank wealth - management scale usually declines at the end of the quarter, reducing the demand for credit bonds. Credit spreads are at a relatively low level, and institutions will pay more attention to controlling drawdowns when investing in credit bonds [16]. - There are two defensive ideas for credit bonds. One is to select high - coupon individual bonds within 3 years. The other is to appropriately allocate defensive varieties such as 1Y inter - bank certificates of deposit and 2Y commercial financial bonds, which have certain cost - effectiveness compared with medium - and short - term notes of the same term [3][19][22]. 3.1.2 Bank Capital Bonds: Opportunities Arising from Declines - In August, the yields of bank capital bonds generally rose, and spreads widened. After the adjustment, some varieties showed relative value. For example, 3 - year AA and above second - tier capital bonds were oversold, and the yields of 3 - year AA second - tier capital bonds were equivalent to those of 3 - year AA perpetual bonds [28][29][30]. - The yields of 4 - 5 - year large - bank capital bonds rose significantly in August. As the decline deepened, insurance, wealth - management, and other asset - management products increased their allocation. For accounts with stable liability ends, they are still cost - effective coupon assets. For accounts with unstable liability ends, it is recommended to follow the interest - rate bond market for right - side layout [33][36][37]. 3.2 Urban Investment Bonds: Supply Recovery, Short - End and Low - Rating Bonds Resistant to Declines - In August, the net financing of urban investment bonds was positive and increased year - on - year but decreased month - on - month. The issuance of long - duration bonds decreased, and the weighted average issuance interest rate increased. The net financing performance varied by province [39]. - The yields of urban investment bonds generally rose in August. Short - end and low - rating bonds were more resistant to decline, while 10 - year ultra - long - term bonds were the weakest. Credit spreads showed differentiation [45]. - The trading activity of urban investment bonds was not high in August. The proportion of TKN and low - valuation transactions decreased compared with July. Short - duration bonds had an increase in trading volume, while 3 - 5 - year bonds had weaker trading [51]. 3.3 Industrial Bonds: Supply Contraction, Yields Generally Rising - In August, the issuance and net financing of industrial bonds decreased year - on - year. The issuance sentiment weakened, and the issuance proportion of short - duration bonds within 1 year decreased, while the proportion of 1 - 3 - year bonds increased. The issuance interest rates rose across the board, with medium - and long - duration bonds having a larger increase [54]. 3.4 Bank Capital Bonds: Net Financing Turns Negative, Trading Sentiment is Weak No detailed content provided in the given text for this part other than the title. It can be inferred from the previous content that in August, the net financing of bank capital bonds may have turned negative, and the trading sentiment was weak as the yields generally rose and spreads widened, and the relative performance was inferior to that of general credit bonds [28].

Market Trends - In August, the bond market's trading logic shifted to "watch stocks and trade bonds," with 10-year and 30-year government bond yields peaking at 1.79% and 2.06% respectively[1][12]. - The bond market's traditional pricing mechanisms failed as the stock market's performance overshadowed bond expectations, leading to a significant rise in yields despite a generally loose funding environment[1][12]. Institutional Behavior - Major banks reported a significant decline in financial investment returns, with state-owned banks experiencing an average year-on-year drop of 30 basis points (bp) in the first half of 2025, compared to 11 bp in the same period of 2024[2][23]. - Since May, large banks have been selling long-term bonds while buying short-term ones, indicating a strategy to realize profits amid pressure on revenue KPIs[2][24]. Funding Conditions - September is expected to see a tightening of funds initially, followed by a loosening, with historical trends suggesting a rise in funding rates post-August[3][39]. - The central bank has maintained a supportive stance on funding, with significant short-term injections to stabilize market sentiment, including a net injection of 4,217 billion yuan during the month-end transition[3][41]. Economic Indicators - Key economic indicators such as inflation, credit, and real estate have shown a downward trend, which the bond market has largely ignored, potentially leading to increased expectations for loose monetary policy[5][50]. - The upcoming release of August's economic data could reinforce the downward trend in key indicators, impacting market expectations for monetary policy[5][50]. Future Outlook - The bond market's ability to regain its "independent personality" hinges on three factors: stock market volatility, the impact of August's economic data, and the resolution of negative institutional behaviors[6][57]. - The market is divided into three phases for September: an observation period, a gaming period, and a bargain-hunting period, with strategies focusing on maintaining a neutral duration of around 3.5-4.0 years[7][57].
