Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating.

Second, the restart of Treasury bond trading, the overall loose capital interest rates, and the decline in market risk appetite due to the recent adjustment of the equity market are expected to continue the phased upward trend of credit bonds, and there are more positive factors than negative factors in the bond market currently. Third, the rapid decline in bank liability costs supports banks to significantly increase bond investments [4][42]. Summary According to the Directory 1.
