Group 1 - The report emphasizes that the liquidity environment is currently stable and loose, with the first week of July being the most favorable window for liquidity in the third quarter. Factors such as tax payments and government bond issuances later in July may cause seasonal fluctuations, but overall liquidity is expected to remain stable [3][11][18] - The report indicates that the interbank deposit rates have reached a downtrend, with the one-year NCD rates stabilizing around 1.6%. The expected range for these rates is between 1.4% and 1.8%, with a midpoint of 1.6% [16][19] - The report suggests that public fund positions and durations have risen to high levels, indicating a lack of incremental funds to support further increases. This leads to a strategy of "riding the tiger," where institutions are cautious about making significant changes to their positions [17][18] Group 2 - The report reiterates that if long-term interest rates decline towards the end of the third quarter, it may lead to a "central downtrend market."

The one-year government bond yield is expected to stabilize around 1.3% [5][23] - The report highlights that a significant downward breakthrough in long-term rates requires an "inverted yield curve" scenario, where major banks or the central bank provide incremental buying support for short-term bonds, allowing the one-year government bond yield to drop below 1.3% [5][23][24]

Group 3 - The main buyers of ultra-long bonds are funds, which have significantly increased their holdings of 20-year and 50-year government bonds, net buying 108 billion yuan and 13 billion yuan respectively from June 16 to June 20. Other product categories, including social security and pension funds, have also shown a preference for these long-duration bonds [3][25][23]. Group 4 - The driving factors behind the ultra-long bond market's performance include strengthened expectations of policy easing, a favorable basic economic environment, and the higher coupon yields and capital gains associated with 20-year and 50-year government bonds. The yield curve shows that the 20-year bond remains a key point of interest, with its yield at 1.87% as of June 20 [28][30][31]. Group 5 - The overall environment for the bond market remains relatively favorable, supported by a mild economic recovery and the central bank's liquidity support. However, there are concerns about potential adjustments and liquidity issues as the market evolves. The short-term segment may see opportunities for trading and value in the context of stable deposit prices [35][36].

Summary by Directory 1.

The current yield curve is extremely flat, and the space for long - term bonds to reach historical lows is small [6]. - Extending duration presents both opportunities and risks. Although it is a way for institutions to seek higher returns, historical data shows that the bond market in June is often volatile [7]. - Large banks' preference for short - term bonds has become a trend. Attention should be paid to subsequent signals of loose monetary policy [16]. 1.1 Yield Curve - **Treasury Bonds**: Yields generally declined.
