Since June, large - scale banks have increased their net buying of treasury bonds within 1Y, but the cumulative net buying scale this year is still far lower than that of the same period in 2024. The net buying of 1 - 3Y treasury bonds increased from May to July and declined since August. As of September 26, the cumulative net buying scale of 1 - 3Y treasury bonds this year was 7271 billion yuan [58][60]. - **Rural Commercial Banks**: Their cumulative net buying scale of current bonds this year is significantly weaker than in previous years, mainly due to the weak net buying of short - term bonds within 1Y. However, the net buying of 7 - 10Y and over 10Y current bonds is significantly higher than in previous years [74]. - **Insurance**: The net buying strength of current bonds by insurance this year is significantly higher than in previous years, mainly due to the strong buying of ultra - long bonds over 10Y.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since Q3 this year, the bond market has adjusted significantly, but the decline in the duration of public - offering bond funds is not obvious. It is expected that public - offering bond funds will maintain a moderately high duration level, with the 10 - year Treasury yield oscillating in the range of 1.7% - 1.8%. As the correlation between stocks and bonds weakens and fundamental pressure rises, the bond market environment in the fourth quarter is expected to be better than that in the third quarter [2][8] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Third - quarter Bond Market Adjustment with No Obvious Decline in Bond Fund Duration - In the third - quarter bond market adjustment, the decline in the duration of bond funds was not obvious. For example, in Q1, the 10 - year Treasury yield rose from about 1.6% in early February to nearly 1.9% in mid - March, and the median duration of the whole - market bond funds dropped from a high of 3 years to about 2.1 years. However, as of September 17, the median duration of public - offering bond funds remained at about 2.5 years, and the median duration of medium - and long - term interest - rate bond funds remained at about 3.1 years [5][14] 3.2 Four Reasons Why Bond Fund Duration is Difficult to Decrease - **Mild Adjustment and Multiple Repairs**: Compared with the Q1 adjustment, the Q3 bond market adjustment was relatively mild, with multiple repairs during the period and did not reach the short - term stop - loss lines of some funds. The adjustment range of the 10 - year Treasury active bond yield since Q3 was less than 20bps, and the adjustment lasted nearly a quarter. In contrast, in Q1, the 10 - year Treasury yield rose about 30bps in more than a month [8][17] - **Performance Assessment and Market Expectations**: The bond market has been volatile this year, especially the performance of bond funds focusing on the duration strategy was significantly weaker than last year. As the fourth quarter is a traditional window for bond market pre -emption and repair, from the perspective of achieving the annual performance assessment, bond funds may not significantly reduce their duration. As of September 14, the median yield of the whole - market bond funds this year was 1.21%, significantly lower than last year's 3.78% [8][26] - **Limited Strategy Options in a Low - interest - rate Environment**: The current bond market is in a low - interest - rate environment, with limited market strategy capacity and options. Public - offering funds have to extend the duration to obtain coupons. Institutions such as wealth management and bank self - operation also have a demand for long - duration bond allocations. As of August this year, the net financing proportion of long - term credit bonds rose to about 33%, a record high [8][33] - **Lack of Massive Redemption Pressure**: Institutions usually conduct continuous and large - scale redemptions of long - term bonds only when the bond market shows obvious "negative feedback" characteristics. A normal market adjustment of general amplitude may not trigger large - scale redemptions and re - allocation of redeemed assets. The current bond market is slowly oscillating and correcting, without triggering widespread market panic [8][34]

Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the pressure of fund selling intensified, and the sold bond types spread from long - term and ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds to credit bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds. The pessimistic sentiment in the bond market spread again, with the 10Y Treasury bond rate smoothly breaking through the key point of 1.80%. Although the bond market sentiment recovered on Friday and funds turned to net buying, the bond market allocation buyers may continue to be absent, and there may still be adjustment space in the bond market, especially for ultra - long - term bonds [9]. - Since August, the growth rate of bond fund scale has been lower than that of stock funds. This week, the issuance share of newly established bond funds remained low, and the net value of various types of bond funds declined significantly, with credit bond funds showing relatively better resistance to decline.

Funds mainly sold long - term and ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds, and gradually increased their selling of credit bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds. Rural commercial banks mainly bought long - term and ultra - long - term bonds, and insurance companies' buying strength gradually increased [22][23]. 3.2.2 Trading Portfolio: All Types of Bond Funds Continued to Reduce Duration, with Credit Bond Funds Having a Larger Reduction - As of September 12, the median duration of the full - sample medium - and long - term pure bond funds decreased by 0.11 years compared with September 5.

In terms of short - term Treasury bonds, large banks increased their net buying of Treasury bonds within 1Y since June, but the cumulative net buying scale this year was still far lower than that of the same period in 2024. The net buying of 1 - 3Y Treasury bonds increased from May to July and decreased in August [58][59]. - **Rural Commercial Banks**: The cumulative net buying scale of rural commercial banks this year was significantly weaker than in previous years, mainly due to the weak net buying of short - term bonds within 1Y. However, the net buying strength of 7 - 10Y and over 10Y bonds was significantly higher than in previous years [71]. - **Insurance Companies**: The net buying strength of insurance companies for bonds this year was significantly higher than in previous years, mainly due to their strong buying of ultra - long - term bonds over 10Y. As of September 12, the ratio of the cumulative net bond buying of insurance companies to the cumulative premium income and the ratio to the cumulative issuance scale of over 10Y government bonds were both slightly higher than at the end of September last year [79]. - **Wealth Management**: Since June, the cumulative net buying scale of wealth management products has continued to rise, and the net buying of bonds over 10Y was particularly strong. This week, the duration of the net - bought bonds in the secondary market remained flat, still at the highest level since February 23, 2024 [85][87]. 3.3 Asset Management Product Tracking: Most Interest - Rate and Credit Bond Funds Recorded Negative Returns in the Past Three Months - Since August, the growth rate of bond fund scale has been lower than that of stock funds.

The selling pressure from funds on interest - rate bonds was concentrated in the first two days, and they turned to net buyers in the second half of the week.
