Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The game space for the bond market from the economic fundamentals is shrinking. The economy performed well in Q1, and it is likely to be decent in Q2. It is highly probable that the annual growth rate will reach around 5%. Considering the bond market's front - running effect, not adding positions now may lead to missing an important long - buying window this year. For public funds with relative ranking assessments, it will be extremely difficult to outperform peer products in the second half of the year [4][10]. - Whether the central bank will restart bond purchases is a significant game point in the current bond market. Currently, market sentiment has reached a high level, with the bond market's leverage ratio and bond fund duration both rising. If the central bank announces bond purchases at the end of the month, the short - end yields may decline further, driving down the long - end yields. However, the monetary authority may be aware of the bond market's front - running tendency, and considering that the June 18th Lujiazui Forum did not mention restarting bond purchases and the central bank's Q2 monetary policy meeting maintained the statement of "monitoring changes in long - term bond yields", caution should be exercised regarding the central bank's potential restart of bond purchases [4][10]. - Investors face a prisoner's dilemma when gambling on the central bank's bond - buying. If the central bank restarts bond purchases, investors who miss the opportunity may find it difficult to have another chance to boost returns this year. For those who add positions, the ranking competition depends on the depth of strategy implementation (leverage, duration). If the central bank does not announce bond purchases, heavy - position investors may incur losses, and the ranking competition among those who added positions depends on the speed of stop - loss [4][10]. Summary by Directory 1. This Week's Institutional Behavior Review - **Overall Situation**: At the cross - quarter time point, the bond market was volatile, with short - end bonds performing better. The 10 - year treasury bond yield remained flat, while the 1 - year and 3 - year yields decreased slightly by 1 - 2bp. Investors face a prisoner's dilemma due to factors such as cross - quarter, public funds' pursuit of rankings and scale, the uncertainty of central bank bond - buying, and the yet - to - be - released June PMI data. Large banks have been buying short - term bonds for nearly a month, non - bank institutions have high chasing sentiment, and other product - type net purchases have increased significantly [2][9]. - **Yield Curve**: Treasury bond yields declined at the short - end and rose at the long - end.
