Core Viewpoints of the Report - In mid-March, the two main logical lines in the bond market offset each other, causing interest rate pricing to become entangled. The escalation of the Middle East geopolitical conflict increased the volatility of domestic equity assets, but the decline in market risk appetite did not bring substantial benefits to the bond market due to rising oil prices and increased global inflationary pressure. The yields of 10-year and 30-year treasury bond active bonds remained stable at 1.83% and 2.30% respectively [2][20]. - For the bond market at the end of March, focus on three main lines: inflation, risk appetite, and capital flow. Inflation remains the top concern and the biggest resistance to the current decline in interest rates. Uncertainty in oil prices will keep the bond market worried about inflation. The adjustment of the stock market is a double-edged sword for the bond market, which may lead to both instability and stability. The capital flow will face short - and medium - term tests, and the MLF renewal on the 25th is crucial [3][20]. - The bearish tone set by inflationary pressure has not been broken, and the resistance to a significant decline in interest rates is still large. However, the resilience of the capital flow remains, and the upward space for interest rates is also limited. The range of 1.80 - 1.90% for the 10 - year treasury bond yield may remain stable. The focus of bond market trading may be the band opportunities brought by the fluctuation of risk appetite [5][27]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Multi - empty Confrontation, Entangled Bond Market Pricing - From March 16 - 20, the domestic market risk appetite declined, but the bond market still faced inflationary pressure. The long - end yields of 10 - year, 30 - year treasury bonds and 10 - year CDB bonds experienced a "up - down - up" trend, and the short - end yields of 1 - year and 3 - year treasury bonds decreased [10]. - Key events and factors this week include the release of strong economic data on the 16th, the attack on Iran's South Pars gas field on the 18th leading to rising oil prices, stable capital flow during the tax period from the 16th - 18th, the central bank's statement on the 19th not mentioning interest rate cuts, the Fed's decision to pause rate cuts on the 19th, and the strengthening of the market's expectation of a reserve requirement ratio cut on the 20th [13]. - In the third week of March, the capital flow was the key "stabilizer" of the bond market. Short - term interest - rate bonds and coupon products were popular, and the interest rate and credit curves both steepened. The yields of inter - bank certificates of deposit decreased, and the performance of treasury bonds and CDB bonds varied [14]. - In the credit bond market, short - term general credit bonds were preferred, and 3 - year secondary perpetual bonds performed better [15]. - Next week's bond market concerns include the renewal of 4500 billion yuan of MLF, the navigation situation of the Strait of Hormuz and oil price changes, the performance of the domestic stock market and the net subscription and redemption of various funds, and the release of February industrial enterprise profit data [19]. 2. Maintain Neutral Duration, Small - position Gamble on Band Opportunities - In mid - March, the two main logical lines in the bond market offset each other, and interest rate pricing was in a state of entanglement. The decline in market risk appetite did not bring substantial benefits to the bond market due to rising oil prices and increased inflationary pressure [20]. - For the bond market at the end of March, focus on inflation, risk appetite, and capital flow. Inflation is the top concern and the biggest resistance to interest rate decline. Uncertainty in oil prices will keep the bond market worried about inflation [20][21]. - The adjustment of the stock market is a double - edged sword for the bond market. The net redemption of active equity products and the liability loss of fixed - income + products may lead to bond market adjustments. However, if the stock market becomes more unstable, funds may flow into the bond market for risk - aversion, which is beneficial to the stability of the bond market [22][24]. - The capital flow will face short - and medium - term tests. On the 25th, the 7 - day repurchase supports cross - quarter, and the capital interest rate may rise. The renewal of 4500 billion yuan of MLF on the 25th is crucial. If the medium - and long - term investment continues to be in a net withdrawal state, the market's expectation of monetary easing may be shaken [27]. - The bearish tone set by inflationary pressure has not been broken, and the resistance to a significant decline in interest rates is still large. However, the resilience of the capital flow remains, and the upward space for interest rates is also limited. The range of 1.80 - 1.90% for the 10 - year treasury bond yield may remain stable. The focus of bond market trading may be the band opportunities brought by the fluctuation of risk appetite [5][27]. - For trading portfolios, the overall portfolio duration can be maintained at a neutral level, and the flexible position can participate in the game through 5 - 7 - year interest - rate bonds. For allocation portfolios, after the continuous adjustment since March, the window for gradual entry has reopened, and the 30 - year old treasury bond with a yield of 2.40% and the 30 - year local bond with a yield of 2.54% may have high allocation value [5][28]. 3. As the Quarter - end Approaches, the Scale of Wealth Management Products Declines 3.1 Weekly Scale: A Month - on - Month Decrease of 34.7 Billion Yuan - In the second week of March, the scale of wealth management products increased by 83.1 billion yuan month - on - month to 33.58 trillion yuan. This year's scale increased against the seasonal trend, possibly because the pressure on the liability side of the banking system is not large, and the end - of - quarter indicator assessment is relatively relaxed [30]. - As the end - of - quarter assessment approaches, the scale of wealth management products may still face pressure. From the 16th - 20th, the scale decreased by 34.7 billion yuan to 33.54 trillion yuan. It is expected that the scale will continue to shrink seasonally in the next two weeks, and the contraction amplitude will increase marginally [31]. 3.2 Wealth Management Risks: Significant Drawdown of Equity - Linked Products, Soaring Negative Yield of Products - The drawdown of equity - linked products was significant, and the negative yield of products increased. From March 16 - 20, the equity market declined, and the net value of partial - debt hybrid products declined significantly. The overall negative yield of wealth management products increased, but the negative yield in the past three months was still at a relatively low level [37]. - Affected by the significant drawdown of equity - linked wealth management products, the proportion of broken - net products and products with unmet performance targets increased. The broken - net rate of all products increased by 0.30 percentage points to 0.64%, and the proportion of products with unmet performance targets increased by 0.8 percentage points to 25.6% [46]. 4. Leverage Ratio: Both Inter - bank and Exchange Markets Declined - From March 16 - 20, during the tax period, the capital flow remained resilient. The inter - bank pledged repurchase trading volume decreased, and the average overnight ratio increased slightly. The inter - bank leverage ratio decreased from 107.44% to 107.30%, the exchange leverage ratio decreased from 121.74% to 121.64%, and the non - bank institution leverage ratio decreased from 112.79% to 112.47% [55][57]. 5. Medium - and Long - Term Bond Funds Continuously Compressed Duration - From March 16 - 20, the bond market still faced resistance to rising due to inflation expectations. The duration of medium - and long - term interest - rate and credit bond funds decreased. The weekly average duration of interest - rate bond funds decreased from 3.34 years to 3.27 years, and that of credit bond funds decreased from 2.20 years to 2.19 years. The duration of short - term and medium - short - term bond funds increased, but decreased during the week [64][65][69]. 6.
