Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market showed an overall volatile performance in the latest week. On October 31, the yield to maturity of the active 10Y Treasury bond dropped to 1.79%, and the 30Y - 10Y term spread narrowed. Medium - and short - term bonds remained strong [4][10]. - There were three characteristics of institutional behavior this week: large banks increased their purchases of short - term bonds, securities firms increased their allocation of medium - and long - term bonds, and funds allocated more to credit bonds than to interest - rate bonds [4][10]. - In November, the money market rate and short - term bonds are expected to be stable, but the certificate of deposit (CD) rate may not decline significantly. The money market is likely to be stable, and the short - end interest rate is expected to range between 1.35% - 1.40%. Although the 1Y AAA - rated CD rate has dropped to 1.63%, it is less likely to decline further [4][11]. - Interest rates are in a high - probability winning state this year, but the probability of a trending market is not high, yet there are structural opportunities.

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of the recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve on various asset classes, including U.S. stocks, bonds, and international markets, highlighting the relationship between interest rates, inflation, and economic growth [1][12][36]. Group 1: Factors Influencing Interest Rates - The primary long-term factor affecting interest rates is the economic growth rate. A slowdown in economic growth typically leads to lower interest rates [4][5]. - In the short term, inflation rates also significantly influence interest rates. High inflation often necessitates higher interest rates to control it [6][7]. Group 2: Historical Inflation Trends - U.S. stock market inflation rates surged from around 0% in 2020 to a peak of 9.1% in mid-2022, prompting the Federal Reserve to implement the most significant interest rate hikes in the last 20 years [9][10]. - As of September 2025, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the U.S. stock market has decreased to approximately 3% [10]. Group 3: Recent Interest Rate Cuts - The Federal Reserve initiated a new cycle of interest rate cuts in September 2024, with the first cut occurring in October 2025 [12][36]. - Following the initiation of the rate cut cycle, A-shares and Hong Kong stocks have seen significant gains, ranking among the top globally [13]. Group 4: Impact of Interest Rates on Asset Prices - Higher interest rates generally exert downward pressure on asset prices, while lower rates can lead to price increases across various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and real estate [15]. - The U.S. stock market has experienced a 22.41% increase, while the global stock market rose by 23.01% since the onset of the rate cut cycle [19]. Group 5: Effects on Different Markets - The decline in U.S. interest rates has led to a narrowing interest rate differential between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan, contributing to the appreciation of the yuan [25]. - The changes in U.S. interest rates also affect the A-share and Hong Kong markets, with the recent rate cuts leading to increased capital inflows into these markets [29][30]. Group 6: Common Questions and Answers - The benefits of interest rate cuts are often reflected in the market weeks before the actual announcement, as investors anticipate the changes [32]. - The Federal Reserve is expected to continue lowering interest rates due to significant fiscal pressures, including rising national debt and interest payments [36][38].

Group 1 - The article discusses the volatility of long-term bond funds compared to short-term bond funds, indicating that long-term bond funds experience greater fluctuations due to interest rate changes [2] - It is noted that the yield of long-term bond funds comes from both interest income and capital gains from bond price fluctuations [2] - The article predicts that by 2025, the interest rates for RMB bonds will gradually increase from a low of 1.6% in 2024 to around 1.8%-1.9% in 2025, which will lead to a decline in the net value of long-term pure bond funds [2] - As interest rates rise, many long-term bond funds are expected to experience a decline of 3%-5% in 2025 due to the bear market conditions [2] Group 2 - The article emphasizes that while interest income is present, it is insufficient to offset the decline in bond prices, ultimately resulting in a decrease in the net value of pure bond funds [3]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the insurance industry, particularly focusing on the reclassification of assets and the potential risks associated with rising interest rates, which could lead to a "double kill" effect on financial stability and solvency ratios. Group 1: Asset Reclassification - Approximately 35 life insurance companies have reclassified their held-to-maturity (HTM) assets to available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets or applied the new financial instrument standard FVOCI in the past three years [1] - The reclassification has significantly increased the fair value of company assets, thereby enhancing net profits or other comprehensive income and improving solvency ratios [2] Group 2: Interest Rate Trends - Long-term interest rates have been declining, leading to rising bond prices, but a structural uptrend in government bond yields has been observed since 2025, with the 10-year government bond yield rising to 1.86% as of September 30, 2025, up 19 basis points from the end of 2024 [4] - The upward trend in interest rates poses a direct impact on insurance companies that have reclassified a large amount of HTM assets to FVOCI, as rising rates lead to a decrease in the fair value of bond investments, thereby exerting short-term pressure on solvency ratios [5] Group 3: Double Kill Risk - The "double kill" risk arises from the simultaneous impact on both asset and liability sides of the balance sheet, particularly due to the mismatch in duration between assets and liabilities [9] - The average asset duration for traditional insurance in China is about 7 years, while the liability duration is approximately 16 years, resulting in a duration gap of about 9 years [10][11][12][13] - As interest rates rise, the fair value of bond assets decreases, while the liability side experiences increased reserve requirements due to the lagging effect of the 750-day moving average of government bond yields, leading to a dual pressure on actual capital [7][8] Group 4: Future Implications - If interest rates continue to rise, it may reflect an improvement in the economic fundamentals, potentially enhancing reinvestment yields for insurance companies in the long term [18] - The focus should be on the company's investment strength and profitability as the core drivers for enhancing actual capital and optimizing solvency ratios, alongside monitoring operational quality indicators such as new business value rate and investment yield [19]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - After the Fed cut interest rates by 25bp as expected, the market quickly digested the expectation and turned to shock. With the approaching holiday, the activity of the capital market decreased, and short - term style switching and partial withdrawal would occur [2]. - Without incremental negative news, the 1.8 - 1.83% range may be the high - level range for the 10 - year Treasury bond yield, but in the absence of strong positive factors, the short - term decline in interest rates is also limited [2]. - As the end of the quarter approaches, the liquidity of derivative contracts for gold tightens, and the risk of volatility is relatively large. The silver price is driven by both financial and industrial attributes, with high upward elasticity [2]. - The shipping index on the EC (European line) is rising on the disk, and the steel exports support the black valuation, with steel prices continuing to fluctuate [2]. - The geopolitical risk premium drives the oil price up, but the expected recovery of supply in the Kurdish region limits the rebound height, with short - term shock as the main trend [2]. - The supply of urea remains loose in the short term, and the demand side lacks strong drivers, so the market is weak [2]. - For agricultural products, the supply prospects of overseas sugar are broad, and new cotton is gradually coming onto the market, increasing supply pressure [2]. 3.

It is recommended to operate within the range for the unilateral strategy and pay attention to quick entry and exit. For the basis spread strategy, the basis of the TL contract fluctuates at a high level, and one can appropriately participate in the basis narrowing strategy [2]. Precious Metals - For gold, maintain the idea of buying on dips or buying out - of - the - money call options. For silver, keep a low - buying strategy as its price fluctuates above $43 [2]. Black Steel - Steel exports support the black valuation, and steel prices continue to fluctuate. Try short - buying on pullbacks and narrow the spread between the January contract of hot - rolled coil and rebar [2]. Iron Ore - The decline in shipments, the increase in molten iron, and the replenishment demand support the high - level shock of iron ore prices. The 2601 contract of iron ore is regarded as volatile, with a reference range of 780 - 850 [2]. Coal - The coal prices in coal - producing areas are stable with a slight upward trend. It is recommended to short the coking coal 2601 contract at high prices, with a reference range of 1150 - 1250, and short the coke 2601 contract at high prices, with a reference range of 1650 - 1800 [2]. Energy and Chemical Crude Oil - The geopolitical risk premium drives the oil price up, but the expected recovery of supply in the Kurdish region limits the rebound height. It is recommended to adopt a unilateral band - trading strategy, with the WTI operating range at [60, 66], Brent at [64, 69], and SC at [471, 502] [2]. Other Chemicals - For various chemicals such as urea, PX, PTA, etc., different trading strategies are proposed according to their supply - demand situations, such as short - selling urea on rallies, and paying attention to the pressure levels for PX and PTA long positions [2]. Agricultural Products - For different agricultural products like soybeans, pigs, corn, etc., different trends and trading suggestions are given. For example, for sugar, conduct short - selling on rebounds; for cotton, short in the short term [2]. Special Commodities - For glass, due to news - driven factors, the glass futures market has risen sharply, and it is recommended to watch cautiously. For rubber, the impact of the typhoon is limited, and the rubber price has fallen slightly, so it is recommended to watch [2]. New Energy - For polysilicon, the market sentiment is repaired, and the futures market rebounds, so it is recommended to watch temporarily. For lithium carbonate, driven by the sector sentiment, the futures market strengthens slightly, and the main contract is expected to operate in the range of 70,000 - 75,000 yuan [2].
