1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the text. 2. Core View of the Report - The core contradiction in the bond market may be the diversion of funds from the bond market to the stock market. Attention should be paid to the carry and coupon value of credit bonds. The current bond market is a pessimistic expectation correction market dominated by allocation funds, and may enter a stage of narrowing spreads, but the overall space is still limited. The core contradiction order of the subsequent market is: asset allocation re - balance (stock market diversion) > monetary and fiscal coordination > expectation of price recovery [4]. - For credit bonds, under the support of loose liquidity, the carry strategy of short - and medium - term credit bonds has high certainty, and it is advisable to "increase positions on dips". Under the support of the demand of amortized bond funds, the carry can appropriately extend the duration to 3 - 5 - year medium - and high - grade general credit bonds. Considering that the current credit spreads are at relatively low historical levels, attention should be paid to the coupon value of some varieties and grade sinking. [4] - For secondary perpetual bonds, in the January market, the long - end spreads of secondary perpetual bonds were less compressed, and the catch - up was more obvious in this round of market. In the past two weeks, the allocation power of insurance institutions to secondary perpetual bonds has weakened and even turned into net selling. Considering the valuation and supply - demand changes, it is recommended to be cautious and wait for the opportunity of valuation recovery or supply increase. Also, attention should be paid to the potential participation opportunities of securities company bonds with increasing supply since the beginning of the year. [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Primary Market - **General Credit Bonds**: The net supply of general credit bonds decreased this period. The issuance of general credit bonds was 139 billion yuan, and the net financing was 36.3 billion yuan, compared with 358.7 billion yuan and 256.5 billion yuan in the previous period respectively. Among them, the issuance of industrial bonds decreased to 76.8 billion yuan, and the net financing decreased to 19.1 billion yuan; the issuance of urban investment bonds decreased to 62.2 billion yuan, and the net financing decreased significantly to 17.2 billion yuan. The weighted issuance term of general credit bonds was 2.65 years, a decrease from the previous period (2.91 years). The credit bond bid - upper limit - coupon rate decreased from 0.42% to 0.41%, and the credit bond subscription multiple increased from 2.67 to 2.85 [4][7][17][21]. - **Bank Secondary Perpetual Bonds**: There was no issuance of bank secondary perpetual bonds this period, and the net financing scale decreased. The net financing of secondary capital bonds was - 200 million yuan, and the net financing of perpetual bonds was - 3 billion yuan. This was the sixth consecutive week of no issuance this year [4][25]. 3.2 Secondary Market - **Yield and Credit Spread**: The yields of credit bonds generally declined, and most credit spreads narrowed. Among general credit bonds, except for the 1/3Y AA - grade, 7Y AA - grade medium - term notes, and 5Y AAA/AA - grade renewable urban investment bonds, the yields mostly declined. The 10Y high - grade urban investment bonds performed the best (the 10Y AAA - grade urban investment bonds decreased by 10.6BP). The yields of all terms and grades of secondary perpetual bonds declined, and the 7Y bank perpetual bonds performed the best (the yields of 7Y secondary perpetual bonds of all qualifications declined by more than 5BP). Most credit spreads narrowed, with the spreads of general credit bonds within 7 years changing mostly within about 2BP or less. The 10Y urban investment bonds/renewable urban investment bonds performed the best (the 10Y AAA - grade urban investment bonds/renewable urban investment bonds decreased by 8.8BP). Except for the slight widening of the credit spread of 3Y AA - grade bank perpetual bonds, the credit spreads of other terms and grades of secondary perpetual bonds all narrowed. The widening varieties were mainly concentrated in 5Y non - public general credit bonds and 1/3/5/7Y weak - quality medium - term notes [4]. - **Turnover Rate**: The turnover rates of general credit bonds and bank secondary perpetual bonds both decreased this week [52]. 3.3 Stock Bond Distribution - The current yields are mostly distributed within 2.4% [6]. - **Industry Bonds**: The average yields of various industries' public - offering industry bonds are presented in a table, showing the distribution by implicit rating and remaining maturity. Most industries' yields are within a relatively low range [106]. - **Urban Investment Bonds**: The average yields of public - offering urban investment bonds in various regions are presented in a table, showing the distribution by implicit rating and remaining maturity. The yields in most regions are within a relatively low range [108]. - **Small and Medium - Sized Bank Secondary Perpetual Bonds**: The average yields of small and medium - sized bank secondary perpetual bonds in various regions are presented in a table, showing the distribution by implicit rating and remaining maturity [110].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The central bank's "structural" interest rate cut and the CSRC's work conference set a positive tone for the bond market. The central bank's move is conducive to maintaining a stable liquidity environment and alleviating credit risks, while the CSRC's policy aims to improve the quality, adjust the structure, and expand the scale of the credit - bond market, promoting its development in line with national strategies [3][12][16] - The bond market presents more structural opportunities. It is recommended to focus on medium - to high - grade, medium - to short - term bond varieties, and closely follow subsequent policies, credit risk changes, and the behavior of wealth - management funds [3] Summary by Directory Market Hotspots - The central bank cut the interest rates of various structural monetary policy tools by 0.25 percentage points on January 15, 2026, and increased the quota of relevant tools. This operation is a "precision - drip" measure, which is expected to improve liquidity marginally, lower capital costs, and support the real economy, especially small and medium - sized enterprises and private enterprises. It has a positive impact on the short - end of the interest - rate bond and helps maintain the stability of medium - to high - grade credit spreads [10][11][12] - The CSRC held a system - wide work conference on January 15, 2026, proposing to "improve the quality, adjust the structure, and expand the scale" of the bond market. It will optimize the supply structure of the credit - bond market, strengthen risk prevention, and promote the development of the commercial real estate REITs pilot, which is expected to enhance the bond market's service to the real economy and national strategies [14][15][16] Macroeconomic Data - In 2025, China's GDP reached 140.19 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 5% at constant prices, achieving the annual target. The economic growth momentum showed a "high - in - the - front, low - in - the - back" trend. Consumption maintained growth with the retail sales of consumer goods reaching 50.12 trillion yuan, a 3.7% increase. The investment side was under pressure with a 3.8% year - on - year decline in fixed - asset investment, while the production side remained resilient with the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size growing by 5.9% year - on - year [4][18] Money Market - Last week, the central bank net injected 111.28 billion yuan through open - market operations. However, due to approaching tax - payment periods, a strong start to credit, and the maturity of high - interest time deposits, most capital prices rose. Except for a 3bp decline in DR007, the pledged - repo rates for other tenors increased by 2bp - 11bp. The 3 - month and 1 - year Shibor remained stable, and the spread between them was basically the same as the previous week [5][21] Primary Market of Credit Bonds - Last week, credit - bond issuance cooled slightly. The issuance scale was 259.401 billion yuan, and the average daily issuance was 51.88 billion yuan. By bond type, the issuance scales of different bonds varied. By industry, the infrastructure investment and financing industry's issuance scale decreased by 47.663 billion yuan to 83.845 billion yuan, with a net outflow of 38.154 billion yuan; the industrial bond issuance scale increased by 25.302 billion yuan to 152.917 billion yuan, and most industries had net inflows. The issuance costs of most credit bonds decreased by 2bp - 36bp, except for the 3 - year AA+ bonds, whose issuance cost rose by 14bp [6][24][25] Secondary Market of Credit Bonds - Last week, the secondary - market cash - bond trading volume was 9.054899 trillion yuan, with the average daily trading volume increasing by 6.5887 billion yuan to 181.098 billion yuan, indicating active trading. Affected by the correction of the equity market, large - scale net injections in the open market, and expectations of reserve - requirement ratio cuts and interest - rate cuts, the bond - market sentiment improved. The yields of interest - rate bonds and credit bonds generally declined, with the 10 - year Treasury yield dropping 4bp to 1.84%. Most credit spreads widened, and most rating spreads narrowed [7][34][38] Appendix - There were multiple credit - risk events in the bond market in 2025, including principal and interest extensions and defaults of bonds issued by real - estate companies, financial institutions, etc. [47] - There were several regulatory and market innovation dynamics in 2025, such as tax - exemption policies for overseas institutional investors in the domestic bond market, the release of business guidelines by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the launch of the ICBC - CCDC Panda Bond Index series, and the optimization of the M&A note mechanism by the NAFMII [48][50] - The monthly net financing amounts of major credit - bond types in 2024 - 2025 were provided, showing significant fluctuations [50]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - In the primary market, the net supply of ordinary credit bonds increased compared to the previous period, while the net supply of bank perpetual and secondary capital bonds (two - tiered perpetual bonds, "二永债") turned negative due to no issuance this period [4]. - In the secondary market, yields mainly declined, and credit spreads mostly widened. 3 - year ordinary credit bonds, 5 - year financial bonds, and weak - quality urban investment bonds performed well. The turnover rate of ordinary credit bonds and bank perpetual bonds decreased, while that of bank secondary capital bonds increased [4]. - For credit strategies, it is advisable to moderately extend the duration to 3 - 5 years for carry trades, and also focus on short - to - medium - term coupon - bearing assets and the potential cost - effectiveness of ETF component bonds. For two - tiered perpetual bonds, it is recommended to be cautious and wait for opportunities for valuation recovery or increased supply [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Primary Market 3.1.1 Ordinary Credit Bonds - Supply increased compared to the previous period, with the issuance amount reaching 357.3 billion yuan and net financing of 255.1 billion yuan. Both industrial and urban investment bonds saw an increase in issuance and net financing. The issuance of industrial bonds increased to 204.6 billion yuan, and net financing rose to 146.5 billion yuan. The issuance of urban investment bonds increased to 152.7 billion yuan, and net financing reached 108.6 billion yuan, the highest since 2024 [4]. - The weighted issuance term increased to 2.89 years (previously 2.76 years). The weighted issuance terms of urban investment bonds and industrial bonds also increased [15]. - The credit bond bid - cap minus the coupon rate rose from 0.37% to 0.43%, and the subscription multiple increased from 2.52 to 2.82, indicating increased subscription enthusiasm [21]. 3.1.2 Bank Two - Tiered Perpetual Bonds - There was no issuance of bank two - tiered perpetual bonds this period, and the net financing scale turned negative. Two secondary capital bonds matured, with net financing of - 7 billion yuan, and one perpetual bond matured, with net financing of - 10 billion yuan [4]. 3.2 Secondary Market 3.2.1 Overall Yield and Credit Spread - Yields mainly declined, with 3 - year ordinary credit bonds, 5 - year financial bonds, and weak - quality urban investment bonds performing better. For example, among 3 - year ordinary credit bonds, the AA - rated extendible industrial bonds had the largest decline of - 5.34BP [4]. - Credit spreads mostly widened, except for a small number of varieties such as 1 - year commercial financial bonds, some weak - quality urban investment bonds, and 10 - year two - tiered perpetual bonds, which saw a slight narrowing. The 5 - year AA - rated urban investment bonds performed best with a - 1.24BP change, while the 5 - year high - grade ordinary credit bonds had a relatively large widening [4]. 3.2.2 Urban Investment Bonds - Yields in various regions mostly declined, and credit spreads mostly widened. Weak - quality urban investment bonds performed better. For example, in Anhui, the yields of AA - rated and AA(2) - rated urban investment bonds decreased by - 1.76BP and - 6.33BP respectively in the past week [59]. - The turnover rate of urban investment bonds in different regions showed different trends, and the trading volume also varied [62][65]. 3.2.3 Industrial Bonds - Yields in various industries showed differentiation, and credit spreads generally widened. For example, in the steel industry, the AA - rated industrial bonds' yields decreased by - 2.30BP in the past week, while in the real estate industry, the AA - rated industrial bonds' yields increased by 4.80BP [68]. - The turnover rate and trading volume of industrial bonds in different industries also showed different characteristics [70][73]. 3.2.4 Financial Bonds - Yields mostly declined, credit spreads generally widened, and the performance of excess spreads was differentiated. For bank secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds, yields of different ratings and bank types showed different degrees of decline, and credit spreads and excess spreads also changed accordingly [93]. 3.3 Stock Bond Distribution - Currently, most yields are distributed within 2.4%. The average yield distributions of industrial bonds in various industries and urban investment bonds in different regions are presented in detail in the report, with most yields concentrated in a relatively low range [105][106][108].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - From January 26th to January 30th, the performance of general credit bonds was stronger than that of secondary capital bonds, possibly due to some institutions taking phased profit - taking after the yields of secondary capital bonds declined for two consecutive weeks. Large banks increased their allocation of interest - rate bonds due to abundant liabilities, small and medium - sized banks became more cautious, wealth management products increased their allocation of low - volatility amortized cost - based bond funds under the net - value constraint, and insurance preferred local government bonds. In the next few weeks, the concentrated opening of amortized bond funds will benefit specific - term credit bonds, and the market of secondary capital bonds is driven by the buying power of funds and insurance, with different yield performances for each term. In terms of future allocation, it is recommended to focus on 5 - year AA+ and AAA urban investment bonds with more attractive interest - rate differentials, and for secondary capital bonds, focus on the allocation opportunities of medium - and long - term varieties after phased profit - taking and the warming of market sentiment [3]. - The overall credit bond market recently followed the fluctuations of interest - rate bonds but showed relative resilience. Urban investment bonds generally outperformed secondary and perpetual bonds. The short - end interest rates of interest - rate bonds rose due to the temporary tightening of the capital market, while the long - end and ultra - long - end interest rates fluctuated under the alternating influence of stock market sentiment and policy expectations. The weakening participation of trading - type funds in ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds led to a shift of funds to credit bonds, which is a key reason for the relatively better performance of credit bonds [7]. - The behaviors of major investment institutions have significantly diverged, affecting the supply - demand pattern of credit bonds. Large banks increased their net purchases of interest - rate bonds due to asset shortages and abundant liabilities, which created conditions for the narrowing of credit spreads. At the end of 2025, wealth management products slightly increased their holdings of credit bonds but significantly increased their holdings of public funds, cash, and deposits. This reflects the demand for stable asset net values under the net - value transformation [8]. - In the future, asset supply and specific product cycles will directly affect the credit bond market. Although the supply of government bonds in January was large, the market interest rates remained stable due to the active participation of insurance and other allocation funds, providing a good allocation window for credit bonds. The upcoming opening peak of amortized cost - based bond funds in the next 16 weeks will bring re - allocation demand for corresponding - term credit bonds, and the deepening of the net - value transformation of wealth management products may increase the demand for medium - and long - term amortized bond funds, benefiting medium - and long - term credit bonds [9]. - The recent strong market of secondary capital bonds is driven by the implementation of the new public - fund fee regulations, the structural change of bond - type funds, and the hot sales of dividend - insurance products. Currently, the market has shown signs of differentiation. The yields of 1 - 3 - year varieties have fallen back to near the previous lows, with a narrowing spread protection space, while the 5 - year, 7 - year, and 10 - year varieties still have a certain spread protection margin and relatively high allocation cost - effectiveness. The market rhythm is expected to slow down, and medium - and long - term secondary capital bonds still have certain allocation value. In terms of the allocation strategy, it is recommended to focus on 5 - year AA+ and AAA urban investment bonds and medium - and long - term secondary capital bonds with relatively sufficient spread protection [10]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 10Y Treasury Bonds: Large Banks Net Buy, Small and Medium - Sized Banks Net Sell - Since January 7, 2026, as the yield of 10 - year treasury bonds gradually declined, the net purchase volume of 7 - 10 - year treasury bonds by large banks showed a fluctuating upward trend, with a single - day peak of 14.105 billion yuan. The increase in large - bank purchases of 10 - year treasury bonds has created conditions for the narrowing of credit spreads. On the demand side, bank deposits have shown super - seasonal growth, increasing the scale of on - balance - sheet funds and reducing the pressure on the liability side. On the supply side, the slow issuance of government bonds, especially local government bonds, has created an asset gap, forcing large banks to increase their net purchases [19]. - In contrast, small and medium - sized banks have a more obvious left - hand trading characteristic in bond investment. Since January 7, 2026, as the yield of 10 - year treasury bonds declined, their willingness to allocate medium - and long - term treasury bonds decreased. Their conservative trading strategy is a passive choice due to the weakening of the traditional profit model. The narrowing of the interest - rate spread of 3 - year large - denomination certificates of deposit between representative city commercial banks and large banks has limited their bond - allocation funds, and the increasing difficulty and risk of obtaining capital gains through trading in the volatile bond market have made them more cautious, focusing on stable coupon income [24]. Bank Wealth Management: Slightly Increase Holdings of Credit Bonds, Focus on Low - Volatility and High - Liquidity Assets - At the end of 2025, bank wealth management slightly increased its holdings of credit bonds, focused on increasing the allocation of public funds, cash, and bank deposits, and reduced its holdings of equity - type assets and inter - bank certificates of deposit. The proportion of bond investment was at a low level in recent years. The increase in public - fund investment may be related to the increase in the allocation of amortized cost - based bond funds and bond ETFs, and the increase in cash and bank - deposit investment may be due to the temporary increase in the supply of inter - bank deposits at the end of the year and the relatively attractive interest rates. The decrease in the scale of equity - type assets and inter - bank certificates of deposit may be due to the contraction of the net supply of inter - bank certificates of deposit [30]. New Trends in the Long - Term Bond Market: Slower Brokerage Trading, Insurance Allocation Shift - At the beginning of the year, the concentrated short - selling behavior of brokerage self - operation in 30 - year treasury bonds, combined with the weak承接 power of insurance and other allocation funds, suppressed the trading sentiment of interest - rate bonds. Trading - type investors, represented by funds, reduced their participation in 30 - year treasury bonds and shifted some funds to credit bonds, which is an important reason for the relatively better performance of credit bonds. The selling amount and borrowing balance of 20 - 30Y treasury bonds by brokerage self - operation have declined recently, but they are still at a relatively high level. Insurance institutions prefer local government bonds over 30 - year treasury bonds, mainly for the relatively higher coupon and continuous tax advantages [33]. Is the Supply of Government Bonds in January in Line with Expectations? - Although the supply of government bonds in January was large, the active participation of allocation funds, mainly insurance, in local government bonds effectively alleviated the supply pressure, and the market interest rates remained stable, providing a good allocation window for credit bonds. The actual issuance volume of government bonds in January 2026 was higher than the planned volume, and the issuance scale was basically the same as that of the same period in 2025. After adjusting for seasonal factors, the issuance scale was actually similar to that of the previous year [40]. Future 16 Weeks: Peak Opening of Amortized Bond Funds, Benefiting Corresponding - Term Credit Bonds - The next 16 weeks will be the peak opening period of amortized bond funds, with those with a fixed - opening period of less than 1 year and more than 5 years being the main types, which will have a positive impact on corresponding - term credit bonds. The demand of wealth management products for stable net values may benefit medium - and long - term credit bonds. The opening scale in February is small, but there will be a peak in March. The term structure shows that in February, bonds with a term of more than 5 years are the main type, and in March, bonds with a term of less than 1 year are the main type, which may increase the demand for corresponding - term credit bonds [48]. Adjustment of Cash - Bond Trading Data Caliber: Institutional Classification and Callable Bond Terms - The adjustment of the institutional net - purchase data caliber implemented in 2026 includes two dimensions. One is the simplification of the classification of all - market institutions, and the other is the adjustment of the calculation rule of callable bond terms from being based on the maturity date to being based on the exercise date. After the adjustment, the configuration behavior of wealth - management funds needs to be tracked through the "other" category, and the previous method of judging institutional allocation behavior of secondary capital bonds based on the net - purchase data of 5 - 10Y "other" - type bonds is no longer applicable [52]. How Long Will the Secondary Capital Bond Market Last? - The recent strong market of secondary capital bonds is driven by the improvement of policy expectations, the structural adjustment of bond funds, and the allocation demand of dividend - insurance products. Currently, insurance mainly undertakes long - term secondary capital bonds such as 10Y, while funds have become the main buyers of medium - and short - term secondary capital bonds since December 2025. However, due to the influence of the spread level of secondary capital bonds of different terms, the daily net - purchase growth rate of funds has slowed down. The yields of 1 - 3Y secondary capital bonds have fallen back to near the lows after the release of the draft new public - fund fee regulations in September 2025, with a narrowing spread protection space, while medium - and long - term secondary capital bonds still have a certain spread protection margin and relatively high investment cost - effectiveness [59]. Bond Allocation Strategy: Slightly Cooled Market Sentiment, Focus on Credit Bond Catch - Up - In the past four weeks, the market has shifted from the dominance of secondary capital bonds in mid - January to the recent leadership of general credit bonds. Based on the current interest - rate differential quantile, valuation level, and rotation rhythm, the next - week allocation priority is adjusted as follows: urban investment bonds (AA+, 5Y) > urban investment bonds (AAA, 5Y) > secondary capital bonds (AAA -, 5Y). The 5Y AA+ urban investment bonds have coupon advantages and certain credit - sinking space, and have clear valuation - repair potential; the 5Y AAA urban investment bonds have low credit risk and good liquidity; the 5Y AAA - secondary capital bonds have a relatively reasonable valuation in their sector. For previously strong varieties, such as 5Y AA and AA(2) urban investment bonds and 10Y local government bonds, caution is recommended in allocation [65].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second half of 2025, CRMW products were issued intensively in conjunction with private enterprise science and technology innovation bonds, with obvious cost - reduction and credit - enhancement effects. Currently, there is little room for participation in the secondary market. It is recommended to focus on the pricing opportunities during the primary issuance of new products. The "underlying bond + CRMW" combination under the strong guarantee of large - scale national and joint - stock banks has valuation advantages, and institutions with stable liability ends such as proprietary trading can hold them until maturity [5]. - When classified by creation entities, special attention should be paid to CRMW created by joint - stock banks [5]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Credit Bond Weekly Viewpoint: Focus on the Pricing Opportunities of CRMW Primary Issuance - CRMW is an important credit - enhancement product. In 2025, over a hundred CRMW were created by various institutions, a slight reduction from 2024. Nearly 40% of the protected underlying bonds were science and technology innovation bonds, and the protected issuers were mostly technology - based private enterprises. Commercial banks are the mainstream creation institutions, while securities companies have rarely participated since 2024, and guarantee companies such as Zhongyu Guarantee and Zhongzhai Zengxin have been active [9]. - It is difficult to participate in the secondary market of CRMW. The focus should be on the primary issuance, especially the CRMW created by joint - stock banks. The average maturity of recently issued underlying bonds is about 2 years, and the maturity considering the exercise right is generally no more than 3 years, which meets the preferences of mainstream institutions [15]. - By creation entity types: - State - owned banks: Since 2024, the frequency of state - owned banks creating CRMW has declined. The credit spread of the "CRMW + underlying bond" investment portfolio created by state - owned banks is generally low, with most spreads around 40bp since Q4 2025, and there is no excess return compared to mainstream urban investment/industrial bonds [15][17]. - Joint - stock banks: Banks such as China Zheshang Bank have created a relatively large number of CRMW. The credit spread of the "CRMW + underlying bond" investment portfolio is around 70bp, and the absolute return can exceed 2.4%, which is very attractive in a low - return environment. The higher return mainly comes from the higher coupon rate of the protected underlying bonds, and there is sufficient safety margin under the strong guarantee of CRMW [25]. - City commercial banks: Banks such as Dongguan Bank and Qingdao Bank are the main creation institutions. The returns of their "CRMW + underlying bond" portfolios are more differentiated, and the recent returns are mainly in the range of 2.1% - 2.2%, with limited attractiveness [25]. - Rural commercial banks: Only Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank participates, and the overall return of the portfolio is not high due to the strong credit quality of the credit - enhancement subject [25]. - Guarantee companies: Zhongyu Guarantee and Zhongzhai Zengxin have created a small number of CRMW in the past two years. The returns are scattered, and the "underlying bond + CRMW" portfolio has a slightly higher return due to weak liquidity, which is suitable for institutions with stable liability ends and high - risk preferences to hold until maturity [23][26]. - Secondary market opportunities are mainly concentrated in the "underlying bond + CRMW" portfolio with a maturity of less than 1 year. The primary market is the main way to participate, while the secondary market has weak liquidity. The short - term portfolio with a maturity of less than 1 year and a return of over 2.1% created by state - owned banks and strong joint - stock banks has cost - effectiveness [28]. 2. Credit Bond Weekly Review: The Enthusiasm for Medium - Term Bond Mining Continues 2.1 Negative Information Monitoring - There were no bond defaults, overdue payments, downgrades of issuer or bond ratings, or overseas rating downgrades during the week from January 26 to February 1, 2026. However, there were significant negative events for companies such as Sunshine City Group, Country Garden Real Estate Group, and Rongqiao Group [31][33]. 2.2 Primary Issuance: Net Financing Remains High, and Financing Costs Fluctuate Narrowly - The new issuance scale of credit bonds remained high, the maturity volume decreased, and the net financing remained high. From January 26 to February 1, 2026, the primary issuance of credit bonds was 307.4 billion yuan, a slight decrease from the previous period. The total repayment was 151.7 billion yuan, a 19% decrease from the previous period, and the net financing was 155.7 billion yuan [34]. - The number and scale of cancelled or postponed bond issuances remained at a low level. The financing costs of medium - and high - grade bonds fluctuated slightly. The average coupon rates of AAA and AA+ grades were 2.12% and 2.24% respectively, with a month - on - month increase of 9bp and a decrease of 7bp [35]. 2.3 Secondary Trading: Valuations Fluctuated Slightly, and 3 - year Bonds Outperformed Relatively - The valuations of credit bonds of various grades and maturities were mostly flat compared to the previous period, except for a 3bp decline in the 3 - year medium - and low - grade bonds. The risk - free interest rate fluctuated slightly, and the credit spreads were mostly flat. The term spreads of 3Y - 1Y and 5Y - 1Y of various grades almost all narrowed, with an average of about 2bp, and the AA - grade 3Y - 1Y narrowed by up to 4bp. The AA - AAA grade spread of the 3 - year bond narrowed by 4bp [37][40]. - The credit spreads of urban investment bonds in various provinces narrowed slightly, with an average narrowing of about 2bp, and the spreads in Heilongjiang and Yunnan narrowed the most. The credit spreads of industrial bonds fluctuated within ±1bp, significantly underperforming urban investment bonds, and the real estate sector widened by 3bp [42][43]. - The weekly turnover rate decreased by 0.18 percentage points to 1.85%. The issuers of the top - ten turnover bonds were mostly central and state - owned enterprises. The issuers of credit bonds with a discount of more than 10% in trading were mainly related to Country Garden, Vanke, and AVIC Industry Finance [45]. - The distribution of urban investment bonds with the largest narrowing or widening of spreads was scattered. Among industrial bonds, the top five issuers with widening spreads were mostly real - estate companies, including Times Holdings, Rongqiao, Yuzhou Hongtu, and Greenland [47][48].

Core Viewpoint - The current pricing of bonds is highly attractive compared to stocks, and investors should diversify globally to maximize returns and mitigate risks [3][5]. Group 1: Bond Market Outlook - Over the next 5 to 10 years, bond yields are expected to outperform stocks, as historical data shows that the S&P 500 index has averaged nearly 15% returns over the past 15 years, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index only returned 2% during the same period [6]. - The current CAPE ratio for U.S. stocks is at 40, indicating that future stock returns may be negative, while the median return for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is projected to be 5.48% [6][7]. - The initial yield of high-quality global fixed-income assets is highly correlated with future returns, with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index currently yielding 4.4%, the highest in a decade [8].
