1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - After reviewing the two high - intensity geopolitical conflicts in the past five years, the short - to - medium - term performance of convertible bonds may be weak. In the current situation, it is recommended to focus on pro - cyclical sectors such as petroleum and petrochemicals. Considering the convergence of the stock index futures basis, convertible bonds may face short - term correction risks. [2][4][7] - The A - share market strengthened during the week, with the small - and medium - cap and pro - cyclical manufacturing sectors outperforming, and the trading volume slightly expanding. [2][4][7] - The convertible bond market oscillated weakly, the medium - cap convertible bonds were relatively strong, and the trading volume converged. The overall valuation was compressed, especially in the high - parity and high - market - value ranges. The implied volatility declined but remained at a high level, and the median market value slightly increased. [2][4][7] - Structurally, cyclical sectors such as steel and non - ferrous metals were relatively good, and some of the top - performing targets showed negative premiums. The primary issuance was stable. In terms of terms, the willingness to downward - revise was weak, while the probability of non - call increased. It is recommended to pay attention to the performance of new bonds and the disturbances of term games. [2][4][7] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Geopolitical Conflicts and the Convertible Bond Market - In the two high - intensity geopolitical conflicts in the past five years (the Russia - Ukraine conflict in late February 2022 and the escalation of the Palestine - Israel conflict in early October 2023), the short - to - medium - term performance of CSI Convertible Bond Index was weak. The Wande Convertible Bond Equal - Weighted Index performed relatively well in the short term after the Russia - Ukraine conflict. [11] - In the Russia - Ukraine conflict, the petroleum and petrochemical industry performed well in the short term, while in the Palestine - Israel conflict, the social service industry performed well in the short term. Given the current situation is more similar to the energy - power game during the Russia - Ukraine conflict, attention can be paid to energy and cyclical industries such as petroleum and petrochemicals. [11][12] - From a futures perspective, there may be short - term correction risks. When the annualized yield of the next - month continuous basis of CSI 500 futures approaches zero, the convertible bond market often faces short - term correction pressure. The high correlation between the CSI Convertible Bond Index and the CSI 500 Index (97.9% from the beginning of 2025 to the current Friday) indicates that this futures sentiment indicator can also reflect the sentiment changes of convertible bond market investors.
