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].
