1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - No information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In January 2026, the manufacturing PMI declined more than seasonally with supply - demand converging and enterprise - scale differentiation intensifying, while price indices rose. The service industry PMI slightly dropped and the construction industry's prosperity significantly declined, thus more efforts are needed to promote economic - stabilizing policies [1][10][34]. - In January, the shock of sentiment was gradually digested, and the bond market recovered after adjustment. However, there were still some constraints for a smooth short - term decline. The 10Y Treasury bond yield may return to the central part of the oscillation range in February. Two structural investment opportunities are recommended: the allocation opportunities of 5Y government - financial bonds and 3 - 5Y general - credit bonds, and the spread - compression opportunities such as 10Y CDB - 10Y Treasury bonds [4][34][35]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 1 - month PMI Data Overview - Manufacturing PMI declined by 0.8 percentage points to 49.3% in January, returning to the contraction range and being weaker than the seasonal average. The production index expansion slowed, demand was under pressure, price indices rose, and enterprises replenished inventory passively with a decline in purchasing willingness [10]. - In the non - manufacturing sector, the service industry PMI slightly decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 49.5%, and the construction industry's business activity index dropped by 4.0 percentage points to 48.8%, both showing different degrees of deviation from seasonal performance [11][14]. 3.2 Manufacturing: Demand - side Operation Under Pressure, Both Price Indices Rising - **Production**: The manufacturing PMI production index was 50.6% in January, down 1.1 percentage points month - on - month, weaker than the seasonal level. The slowdown was due to factors like cold weather and approaching Spring Festival, especially the over 4 - percentage - point decline in the consumer goods manufacturing production index [17]. - **Demand**: The new order index and new export order index of manufacturing PMI decreased by 1.6 and 1.2 percentage points respectively. The "new order - new export order" index dropped to 1.4%. Seasonal factors and external policy changes affected demand, but the proportion of manufacturing enterprises reporting insufficient market demand decreased [19]. - **Enterprise Scale and New Kinetic Energy**: The PMI of large, medium, and small enterprises decreased by 0.5, 1.1, and 1.2 percentage points respectively. New kinetic energy industries continued to lead, while traditional industries' prosperity declined [20]. - **Price**: Affected by multiple factors, the main raw material purchase price index and ex - factory price index were 56.1% and 50.6% respectively, up 3.0 and 1.7 percentage points month - on - month. The index difference reached 5.5 percentage points, compressing the profit space of mid - and downstream enterprises [23]. - **Inventory**: The raw material inventory index decreased by 0.4 percentage points, and the finished - product inventory increased by 0.4 percentage points. The economic kinetic energy index decreased by 2.0 percentage points, and the purchasing volume index dropped to 48.7%. The start of the replenishment cycle depends on the recovery of market demand [24]. 3.3 Non - manufacturing: Slight Decline in Service Industry PMI, Significant Decline in Construction Industry - **Service Industry**: In January, the service industry PMI slightly declined. The strong support from the financial industry, the stable development of new kinetic energy, and the good performance of some consumption - related service industries maintained its stability. However, the real - estate industry's business activity index fell below 40.0%, and Spring Festival consumption may boost the consumption - related service industries [29]. - **Construction Industry**: Due to cold weather and the approaching Spring Festival, the construction industry's business activity index decreased by 4.0 percentage points to 48.8% in January. Both housing construction and civil engineering construction activities slowed down, and the off - season characteristics may continue in February [32]. 3.4 Impact on the Bond Market - In January, after the shock of sentiment was digested, the bond market recovered. The 10Y Treasury bond yield dropped to the lower limit of the 1.8% - 1.9% oscillation range. With insufficient broad - money expectations and increased local - bond supply in February, the 10Y Treasury bond yield may return to the central part of the oscillation range. Two parts of structural investment opportunities are recommended [4][34][35].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The concentrated opening of amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds may directly benefit general credit bonds, and the spread of general credit bonds may decline. After the opening of these funds drives up the price of general credit bonds, the medium - and long - term cost - performance of secondary perpetual bonds will be passively improved, attracting medium - and long - term allocation funds such as annuities and insurance companies, with the market of secondary perpetual bonds lagging behind that of general credit bonds [2][26][27]. - The concentrated opening of amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds may form a strong allocation demand for 3 - 5Y medium - and long - term credit bonds [20][30]. Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Changes in the Holding Varieties of Amortized Fixed - Term Open - End Bond Funds - Since the beginning of 2024, the proportion of interest - rate bonds (especially policy - financial bonds) held by amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds has significantly decreased, while the proportion of general credit bonds has increased substantially. From 2024Q1 - 2025Q3, the proportion of financial bonds held decreased from 89% to 78% (the proportion of policy - financial bonds decreased from 73% to 61%), and the proportion of credit bonds increased from 2% to 14% [8]. - The proportion of medium - term notes held by amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds has steadily increased. From the perspectives of implicit rating and remaining term, the proportion of credit bonds with an implicit rating of AAA - and above and a remaining term of 3 - 5 years has significantly increased. The proportion of medium - term notes increased from 43% in 2024Q1 to 61% in 2025Q3, the proportion of high - grade bonds increased, and the proportion of credit bonds with a remaining term of 1 year or less decreased from 80% in 2024Q3 to 30% in 2025Q3, while the proportion of 3 - 5Y credit bonds increased to 42% in 2025Q3 [11]. 2. Impact of the Concentrated Opening of Amortized Fixed - Term Open - End Bond Funds - From 2025Q4 - 2026Q2, a round of opening days for amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds will be concentrated. Among the funds with a closed - end period of more than 1 year, 76 funds will open, with a total fund asset value of 7,433 billion yuan. In 2026Q1 and before, 53 funds with a closed - end period of more than 1 year will open [14][15]. - The concentrated opening of these funds may form a strong allocation demand for 3 - 5Y medium - and long - term credit bonds. After the opening days end and the funds enter the closed - end period to start building positions, they may have a relatively strong demand for such bonds [20]. - In terms of variety structure, the concentrated opening may directly benefit general credit bonds, and it is expected that general credit bonds may experience a good spread compression market. The medium - and long - term cost - performance of secondary perpetual bonds will be passively improved, attracting allocation funds [26][27]. - It is estimated that the opening of existing amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds will bring about 119.8 billion yuan of stable allocation funds to the credit bond market, and the funds entering the opening period before 2026Q2 are expected to bring about 51.8 billion yuan [29]. 3. Investment Suggestions - From 2025Q4 - 2026Q2, the concentrated opening of amortized fixed - term open - end bond funds may directly benefit credit bonds matching their closed - end periods, especially 3 - 5Y medium - and long - term credit bonds [30]. - The concentrated opening may directly benefit general credit bonds such as urban investment bonds and industrial bonds. High - grade (AAA - and above) medium - term notes are recommended as key trading targets in the future market [31][32].
