Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The bond market is likely to continue its range - bound fluctuations. The adjustment range of the bond market will be protected by the buying power of allocation investors and the central bank's liquidity injection, which will suppress the upward space of interest rates. Meanwhile, the relative "absence" of allocation power since this year will also restrict the downward space of interest rates [39]. - It is expected that 1.80% may become the temporary top of the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate, and currently, it is in the process of reaching the top [22]. - In the volatile market, attention can be paid to Guokai bonds of the 10 - year maturity, but the further manifestation of their value needs the stabilization of bond market sentiment and liquidity [40]. Summary by Directory 1. Bond Market Review 1.1 Bond Market Fluctuated with the Stock Market, and the Long - end Was Significantly Weak - The bond market followed the stock market and failed to have an independent trend. The stock - bond "seesaw" effect was obvious, and the bond market was "desensitized" to the fundamentals. There was a concentrated redemption of bond funds, and the interest rate center shifted upward with increased daily fluctuations. The yield of the 10 - year Treasury bond active bond broke through the 1.75% key point on 8/18 and then moved in the range of 1.75% - 1.79%. The overall yield curve shifted upward, with the medium - short end being significantly weak [6][7]. 1.2 Tax Payment Period Led to an Unexpected Convergence of Funds - The funding situation unexpectedly tightened and then eased marginally, with increased fluctuations in funding rates. The reasons included the resonance impact of the traditional tax period and the non - traditional stock - bond market linkage changing the flow of funds. The central bank increased the liquidity injection in advance to stabilize expectations and block the spread of redemption pressure [14]. 2. This Week's Focus 2.1 Has the Interest Rate Reached the Top? - In the past week, the central bank's support was effective, allocation investors continued to buy, and trading investors changed from selling to slightly net buying, which may gradually restrict the upward space of interest rates. It is expected that 1.80% may become the temporary top of the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate [22]. - The central bank's timely support protected the bond market adjustment. When the bond market interest rate rose to a temporary high or the selling power of trading investors such as funds increased, the central bank would increase its open - market investment within 1 - 4 days [23]. - The buying power of allocation investors formed support at the 1.8% level of the 10 - year Treasury bond, suppressing the further upward space. However, the allocation power has been relatively "absent" this year, weakening the internal repair momentum of the bond market [26][27]. - Trading investors changed from selling to slightly net buying. Funds gradually increased their purchases of Treasury bonds and short - term financing bills in the second half of the week. Meanwhile, wealth management products slightly net - bought medium - term notes, short - term financing bills, and Tier 2 capital bonds, and the current redemption pressure was generally controllable [28][31]. 2.2 How Many Basis Points Has the Market Priced for the Newly Issued Tax - Inclusive Treasury Bonds? - The 30 - year Treasury bond basically fully priced the 6% VAT on the basis of the fair active bond price. The new 10 - year Treasury bond priced about 3% of the VAT, indicating that the current bond market allocation power may be relatively weak, and the digestion of the 6% VAT for ultra - long - term varieties is limited [3][38]. 3. The Bond Market May Continue Range - Bound Fluctuations - The bond market is likely to continue range - bound fluctuations. The buying power of allocation investors and the central bank's liquidity injection will suppress the upward space of interest rates, while the relative "absence" of allocation power will restrict the downward space [39]. - In the volatile market, Guokai bonds of the 10 - year maturity can be considered. After the adjustment since late July, the allocation cost - effectiveness of 10 - year Guokai bonds is prominent, and the VAT policy adjustment may further promote the narrowing of the spread between Guokai and Treasury bonds [40].
