1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report The bond market will continue to oscillate and recover. It is believed that the interest rate decline will be smoother in the second half of the fourth quarter. The 10 - year Treasury bond rate is expected to recover to the pre - adjustment level of 1.6% - 1.65% by the end of the year [5][19]. 3. Summary by Related Catalog 3.1 Market Performance and Interest Rate Trend - This week, funds remained loose, and the bond market declined slightly. The R007 was stable below 1.5%, and R001 was below 1.4%. The yields of 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury bonds rose by 2.4bps and 1.2bps to 1.85% and 2.21% respectively, and the yields of 3 - year and 5 - year secondary capital bonds rose by 2.9bps and 0.8bps [1][8]. - Fundamentally and in terms of funds, the trend supports the decline of interest rates. The slight adjustment of interest rates last week was driven by the increase in risk appetite such as the rise of the stock market. The GDP real and nominal growth rates in the third quarter slowed down, and the real growth rate may further decline in the fourth quarter [1][8]. 3.2 Bond Market Fund Supply and Demand - The bond market shows a situation where the source of funds is greater than the supply of assets, and the gap has recently widened. Except for funds, the liability - side growth rates of financial institutions such as banks, insurance, and wealth management have increased. The total growth rate of relevant items increased from 10.5% in May to 11.5% in September [2][9]. - Due to the insufficient supply of other fixed - income assets such as loans and non - standard assets, financial institutions need to allocate more bonds. The non - government bond social financing growth rate in September was 5.9%, significantly lower than the 11.5% growth rate of the liabilities of financial institutions. The gap may continue to widen in the future [3][12]. 3.3 Asset - Liability Mismatch in Duration - Although the bond market is in a state of increasing asset shortage in terms of total volume, the pressure of duration mismatch is increasing. The liability side of financial institutions shows a short - term characteristic, while the duration of the asset side is lengthening, especially in banks [3][15]. - The proportion of current deposits in total deposits of banks increased from 19.5% in May to 20.1% in September, while the average issuance period of local bonds in the first nine months was 15.6 years, significantly higher than the 13.1 - year level of the same period last year [3][15]. 3.4 Response to Duration Pressure - The increase in duration pressure should be viewed dynamically. The rise in long - term bond yields has partially reflected this situation. The rise in long - term interest rates may also lead to dynamic changes in supply and demand and adjustments in institutional allocation behavior [4][17]. 3.5 Outlook for the Bond Market - The bond market will continue to oscillate and recover. In the second half of the fourth quarter, as the bond - selling pressure of banks fades and the risk of public offering fee reform is settled, the decline of interest rates will be smoother [5][19]. - It is recommended to adopt a dumbbell - shaped strategy, which can control risks through duration and obtain double benefits from the overall decline of interest rates and the narrowing of spreads [5][19].
