Group 1 - The issuance of industrial perpetual bonds is primarily by high-rated entities, with an increase in issuance duration over the past two years. The main purpose of issuing these bonds is to reduce liabilities, predominantly by medium to high-rated central and state-owned enterprises in high-leverage industries. Since 2024, the issuance duration of industrial perpetual bonds has lengthened, with "3+N" still being the main issuance type, but the scale and proportion of "5+N" industrial perpetual bonds have significantly increased, possibly related to expectations of debt reduction and the overall lengthening of credit bond issuance duration [6][7]. - The spread of industrial perpetual bond varieties has widened to a high percentile, indicating opportunities for spread extraction. Since the second half of 2025, the spread of industrial perpetual bond varieties has continued to widen, influenced by two main factors: first, the marginal weakening of demand for perpetual bonds under the insurance I9 accounting standards, as the static coupon of perpetual bonds is weaker than that of dividend stocks; second, perpetual bonds are less likely to benefit from the expansion of credit bond ETFs due to stricter definitions of equity instruments. Currently, the spread of industrial perpetual bonds has widened to a high percentile since 2024, with the spread of varieties accounting for about 50% of the overall spread, reaching a high level since 2020. It is believed that institutional behavior will have limited further disturbance to industrial perpetual bonds, and attention should be paid to opportunities for spread extraction [7][8].

From January 19 to January 23, 2026, short-term financing bonds issued amounted to 128.06 billion yuan, with 86.04 billion yuan maturing; medium-term notes issued were 91.51 billion yuan, with 28.01 billion yuan maturing; corporate bonds issued were 1 billion yuan, with 4.1 billion yuan maturing; and company bonds issued were 102.05 billion yuan, with 52.55 billion yuan maturing. The total issuance of major credit bond varieties was 322.61 billion yuan, with 170.7 billion yuan maturing, resulting in a net financing of 151.91 billion yuan, an increase from the previous week's net financing of 49.27 billion yuan [8]. - In the secondary trading market, transaction volume has increased, and most spreads have narrowed. From January 19 to January 23, 2026, the total transaction volume of major credit bond varieties (corporate bonds, company bonds, medium-term notes, and short-term financing bonds) reached 931.2 billion yuan, an increase of 69.4 billion yuan compared to the previous week.
