Core Viewpoint - The recent fluctuations in the Chinese dollar bond market are primarily driven by changes in tariff policies, leading to liquidity tightening and an increase in long-term risk premiums, rather than changes in the credit risk of Chinese entities [1][2]. Market Fluctuations - Since April 2025, the U.S. Treasury rates have rapidly increased due to poor auction results, liquidity tightening, and rising risk premiums, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reaching 4.48% on April 11, up 31 basis points from the beginning of the month [2]. - The overall yield of Chinese dollar bonds has risen significantly, with the iBoxx index reflecting substantial increases, reaching year-to-date highs [2]. Impact of U.S. Treasury Maturities - In 2025, the U.S. Treasury has a high maturity scale of $9.8 trillion, with a peak maturity period from April to July exceeding $1 trillion monthly, and Q2 alone accounting for $5.45 trillion [3]. - The concentrated maturity pressure may tighten market liquidity and increase refinancing costs, potentially affecting market confidence in U.S. fiscal health and raising risk premiums [3]. Tariff Policy Effects - The impact of new U.S. tariffs on Chinese dollar bonds is expected to be relatively small, as the majority of existing bonds are concentrated in real estate, urban investment, and financial sectors, which are less exposed to tariff impacts [4]. - The ability of companies to mitigate tariff impacts through production relocation and regional export transformation further reduces the direct shock from tariff policies [4]. Sector-Specific Analysis - Urban investment bonds are less affected by tariff changes, as regions with high export volumes are primarily located in coastal provinces, which have lower debt repayment pressures [5]. - Financial sector bonds, particularly those issued by major state-owned banks, are well-capitalized and have diversified client bases, minimizing the impact of potential declines in loan quality [5]. Investment Strategy - The current Chinese dollar bonds exhibit attractive value for allocation, especially in light of potential capital gains from rising expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts [6]. - Focus is recommended on short-duration AT1 bonds from state-owned banks and high-yielding central enterprise AMC dollar bonds, which have a favorable pricing differential compared to domestic bonds [6].

▍ 美债集中到期对中资美元债的影响。 根据Bl o omb e rg统计，预计2 0 2 5年美国国债到期规模处于未来十年的较高水平，全年到期规模为9 . 8万亿美元，分月度看， 2 0 2 5年4 - 7月为到期高峰，规模均高于1万亿美元，其中Q2到期规模为5 . 4 5万亿美元，为2 0 2 5 - 2 0 2 8年期间的到期高峰。2 0 2 5 年美债再融资一方面面临集中到期压力，市场流动性水平或趋紧；另一方面美债滚续融资成本抬升，票息支出的增加或引起市 场对于美国财政的信心下降，提高风险溢价。但整体而言，2 0 2 5年美联储仍有降息空间，若市场对于降息预期升温，或带来 中资美元债收益率曲线下移与收益抬升的博弈机会，建议关注短端中资美元债等板块。往后看，若美联储降息率先落地，或打 开我国央行货币政策更多的操作空间，开启新一轮债牛行情。 文 ｜ 明明 李晗 徐烨烽 俞柯帆 来正杰 2 0 2 5年4月以来，受关税政策螺旋升温影响，美债利率出现快速调整，带动中资美元债市场出现波动。我们认为近期中资美元 债市场调整，更多缘于关税政策变化带来的流动性收紧与长端风险溢价的抬升，而非出自于中资主体信用风险的变化。 ...
