Report Title - "Bond Weekly Report: Stable Expectations, Awaiting the Year - End Real Estate Market - Weekly High - Frequency Tracking 20251213" [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - In the second week of December, the market was mainly affected by the off - season supply - demand fundamentals, with most industrial product prices falling and downstream demand release being moderately weak. Food prices continued to rise, and the decline in pork prices narrowed. Container shipping prices stopped falling and rebounded due to the year - end contract - signing season. Cement prices rose due to cost support and manufacturers' initiatives, but the demand support for price increases was limited. The apparent demand for building materials and rebar continued to decline. The new and second - hand housing markets in the real estate sector continued to weaken, and attention should be paid to the year - end sprint market [4][37]. - The Central Economic Work Conference set the tone that the macro - policy intensity in 2026 may be basically stable, focusing on quality improvement and efficiency enhancement, which meets market expectations. However, the conference also paid high attention to price recovery, which may cause some disturbances to the downward shift of the nominal interest rate center. Looking ahead, the November economic data will be released next week. From the PMI performance, it is expected that the production side will recover to some extent, but investment and consumption still face high bases, and domestic demand may still be lower than exports, similar to the situation in October. Looking forward to 2026, the conference clearly required investment to "stop falling and stabilize", fiscal policy may be front - loaded, and policies may be somewhat tilted towards investment. During the data vacuum period from January to February, attention can be focused on the high - frequency performance of physical work volume [4][37]. Summary of Each Section 1.

The price of thermal coal (Q5500) at Qinhuangdao Port decreased by 4.5% week - on - week. Affected by warm weather, the demand for heating electricity in coastal areas increased, but the stable supply of long - term contract coal kept the power plant inventory stable.

The spot market trading was okay, with some areas continuing to destock and a few slightly increasing inventory. Market sentiment weakened compared with the previous week, most downstream enterprises made rigid - demand purchases, the whole market continued to destock, but there was still overall shipment pressure [20]. 4.

According to the Passenger Car Association, from December 1st to 7th, the national passenger car market retail sales were 297,000 vehicles, a 32% decrease compared with the same period last December and an 8% decrease compared with the same period last month. The demand for trade - in accelerated release in December last year, resulting in a high base, and the subsidy intensity in some areas decreased, leading to the low year - on - year retail sales at the beginning of December [31]. - Crude oil prices weakened. As of December 12th, the prices of Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil decreased by 4.1% and 4.4% week - on - week respectively, turning from rising to falling. The main reason was that the market expected an increase in crude oil supply from non - OPEC+ countries next year, causing total crude oil supply to exceed demand [31].
