Core Insights - In July, the enthusiasm for bond trading among small and medium-sized banks reached a new high for the year, with total trading volume exceeding 17 trillion yuan, driven by factors such as insufficient loan demand and credit contraction [1][2][3] Group 1: Bond Trading Performance - The total bond trading volume for city commercial banks and rural commercial banks showed strong momentum, consistently exceeding that of large and joint-stock banks since March [3] - In the first seven months of the year, city commercial banks' bond trading volumes were 64,552.77 billion yuan, 74,994.44 billion yuan, 104,174.19 billion yuan, 89,224.96 billion yuan, 86,214.04 billion yuan, 100,534.48 billion yuan, and 109,175.2 billion yuan, while rural commercial banks' volumes were 44,457.04 billion yuan, 45,297.66 billion yuan, 66,608.66 billion yuan, 66,788.82 billion yuan, 57,406.44 billion yuan, 62,537.76 billion yuan, and 63,199.86 billion yuan [2] Group 2: Financial Investment Trends - The proportion of financial investment assets in total assets for listed banks reached a near-high of 30%, with 30 banks exceeding this threshold [4][5] - Chongqing Bank saw a significant increase in financial investment assets, rising by 1,227 billion yuan to 3,859 billion yuan, with its proportion of total assets increasing by 7.71 percentage points to 41.42% [5][6] Group 3: Revenue Structure and Market Dynamics - The trend of "selling bonds to boost revenue" has emerged, with many banks reporting significant increases in investment income, with some banks seeing growth rates exceeding 100% [7][8] - The central bank emphasized the importance of bond investments for banks, noting that while they can support fiscal policy and the real economy, banks must maintain a balance between investment returns and risk [9]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market's repair period will continue. In the first stage, interest rates will return to the pre - adjustment level. Whether they can break through new lows depends on the performance of other markets and fundamental pressures. It is expected that the 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds may return to around 1.65% and 1.85% in the short term. If other markets have moderate growth and demand continues to slow, interest rates may hit new lows [7][22]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Bond Market Repair Situation - This week, the bond market started a repair rally as expected, with yields across all tenors generally declining. The yields of 10 - year and 30 - year treasury bonds dropped by 2.7bps and 2.3bps to 1.71% and 1.95% respectively. The repair of credit bonds was more significant, with the yields of 3 - year and 5 - year secondary capital bonds falling by 7.8bps and 6.4bps to 1.85% and 1.95% respectively. The yield of 1 - year AAA certificates of deposit also dropped by 3.6bps to 1.64% [1][9]. - The direct trigger for the bond market repair was the cooling of supply contraction expectations and the correction in commodities and the stock market. The Politburo meeting's mild stance on over - capacity governance led to a 3.8% decline in the Nanhua Industrial Products Index this week, and the stock market also adjusted, reducing risk appetite [1][9]. Fundamental Factors Affecting the Bond Market - Fundamentally, there is an increasing downward pressure. The manufacturing PMI in July was 49.3%, down 0.4 percentage points from the previous month, with a larger seasonal decline than in previous years. The new orders index dropped 0.8 percentage points to 49.4%. The service and construction PMIs also weakened, falling 0.1 and 2.2 percentage points to 50.0% and 50.6% respectively [2][10]. - Without sufficient demand, price increases are mostly structural, and terminal prices are unlikely to rise significantly. Rising upstream prices cannot be effectively transmitted to the mid - and downstream sectors, and the cost is often passed on to the mid - and downstream industries, compressing their profits. Supply contraction also reduces investment and financing demand, not directly pushing up interest rates [2][15]. Bond Market's Own Conditions - The overall asset shortage situation persists. In terms of capital demand, there is a slowdown pressure. The bill rate has weakened significantly, with the 6 - month state - owned bill re - discount rate reaching a new low of 0.4% this week, indicating weak credit demand. Government bond supply will also decrease, with the remaining net financing of government bonds in the next five months expected to be 4.26 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease [3][16]. - In terms of capital supply, it remains abundant. The scales of bank deposits, insurance assets, wealth management products, and bond funds are all steadily increasing. The central bank has stated that it will maintain ample liquidity, and the current loose money situation is expected to continue [3][16]. Impact of Treasury Tax Rate Adjustment - The adjustment of the treasury tax rate is mostly a one - time impact, increasing the tax burden on financial institutions such as banks. It benefits old bonds and is negative for financial bonds and new bonds. The new - old bond yield spread may widen by 5.6 - 10.8bps, and the estimated total tax increase is 31.55 billion yuan, mainly borne by banks. Public funds may gain a 3.08% tax advantage in interest income in the short term, but future tax adjustments for public funds need further observation [4][18]. Market Volatility and Fragility - Although the overall situation is favorable for the bond market, market volatility and fragility are increasing. As coupon rates decline, the proportion of trading positions is rising, and market institutions are extending durations to increase capital gains. In the second quarter, the average durations of medium - and long - term interest - rate bond funds and medium - and long - term credit - bond funds increased significantly by 0.81 years and 0.94 years respectively, the largest single - quarter increase on record [5][19].

Group 3: Government Policies and Economic Structure - Local governments are incentivized to boost manufacturing investment to meet GDP targets, often leading to distorted market resource allocation through aggressive investment policies [28][30]. - Recent policies have increased financial support for manufacturing, with long-term loans to the sector growing significantly, providing substantial funding for investment expansions [30][32]. - The article highlights the need for a balanced approach to address both supply-side issues and consumer demand, suggesting that effective "anti-involution" strategies should focus on increasing household income and promoting consumption [72].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the domestic market in China is expected to show a "dual bull" pattern in both equity and bond markets in the second half of the year, driven by structural investment opportunities in new economy sectors and a low-growth, low-inflation environment in the bond market [1] - The A-share market, despite uncertainties, is likely to benefit from a loose liquidity environment and recognition from decision-makers of the stock market's impact on public confidence and consumption [1] - In the cyclical sector, there are structural opportunities in non-ferrous metals, but a comprehensive rebound in the sector requires significant improvement in macro demand [1] Group 2 - The technology sector is expected to experience a clear domestic and international divergence, with overseas demand for computing power exceeding expectations, particularly in hardware segments benefiting from global AI infrastructure, such as GPU supply chains and optical modules [2] - The bond market is influenced by China's rapid demographic changes and complex geopolitical situation, with a focus on consumption and technology as new growth points for the economy [2] - The investment strategy for the second half of the year should consider allocations to fixed income plus, equity assets, overseas short-term bonds, and gold to capitalize on potential benefits from China's economic transformation [2]
