Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The significant decline in ultra - long bonds is not expected to lead to a significant and continuous increase in the ultra - long bond spread in the long - term. However, short - term risks need further observation. As year - end bank indicator pressures ease, fund and brokerage positions decrease, and insurance allocation demand recovers, the ultra - long bond spread is expected to repair. But short - term risks, especially potential market shocks from concentrated selling by trading institutions, are hard to judge [5][21]. Group 3: Summary by Related Content Current Situation of Ultra - long Bonds - Recently, while other bonds remained stable, ultra - long bonds declined significantly. Since last Friday, medium - and short - term bonds were stable, with 2 - year and 5 - year Treasury yields fluctuating less than 1bp, and the 10 - year Treasury yield rising slightly by 1.1bp. In contrast, the 30 - year Treasury yield rose by 5.0bp, and the 50 - year Treasury yield rose by 5.9bp. This widened the spread between 30 - year and 10 - year bonds to 38.3bps, approaching the highs in late September and early October [1][8]. Reasons for the Weakening of Ultra - long Bonds - Banks' ability to hold long - term bonds is restricted by indicators such as △EVE and the Tier 1 capital ratio close to the 15% regulatory red line, which may lead to selling of long - term bonds to meet requirements or realize floating profits [2][10]. - The public fund fee reform may increase redemption pressure, and year - end net value drawdowns may exacerbate passive redemptions, causing trading institutions like funds and brokerages to reduce long - bond holdings [2][10]. - Insurance institutions' liability growth has slowed in the past two months, with a shift in allocation towards stocks. Insurance premium income growth was negative in September and October, and the proportion of bonds in asset allocation decreased slightly while the stock proportion increased [2][10]. Attractiveness of Ultra - long Bonds - From the perspective of the overall asset portfolio, the increase in ultra - long bond spreads enhances the cost - effectiveness of the barbell portfolio. With the same duration, the barbell portfolio's return is higher than that of the bullet portfolio, increasing the demand for ultra - long bonds and promoting a shift towards a barbell - shaped portfolio [3][12]. - In terms of absolute return, the increase in ultra - long bond yields makes them more attractive compared to other assets. The spread between the 30 - year Treasury and personal mortgage rates is at its lowest since Q3 2017, and considering tax, bad debts, and capital occupation, bonds are more cost - effective than loans. Ultra - long bond yields can cover the liability costs of insurance and banks, and with the slowdown in real - estate sales, future inflows of household deposits and insurance premiums are expected to increase, so the liability side is not a constraint for institutional allocation [4][14]. - Based on previous pricing of the 30 - 10 - year spread using factors like funding prices, net ultra - long bond financing, stock market performance, and ultra - long bond turnover, the current 30 - 10 - year spread is close to the upper limit of one standard deviation, indicating that ultra - long bonds are still within a reasonable range [4][17].

Core Viewpoint - The bond market is experiencing significant pressure due to rising long-term yields and the failure of traditional interest rate pricing frameworks, leading to a state where stock market performance heavily influences bond pricing [1][14][13]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Since mid-July, the bond market has faced capital losses due to a substantial rise in long-term yields, with 10-year and 30-year government bond yields increasing by 12 basis points and 25 basis points respectively from July 15 to August 22 [13][1]. - The stock market's extreme risk-reward ratio has maintained a rolling 3-month Calmar ratio above 4.0 since July, a level not seen during the previous year's "924" rally, putting additional pressure on the bond market [14][1]. - The bond market is currently in a pricing state dominated by risk appetite, leading to a "look at stocks, act on bonds" approach [1][14]. Group 2: Future Market Logic - Two potential scenarios for the stock market's future are identified: a rapid rise supported by the "93 consensus" or a period of volatility as investors take profits ahead of the September 3 military parade [17][2]. - If the rapid rise scenario occurs, the bond market may face further declines, with long-term rates potentially approaching March highs. Conversely, if the volatility scenario plays out, the bond market could see a recovery as yields decline [17][2]. Group 3: Institutional Behavior and Fund Flows - Institutional behavior indicates a potential for a more optimistic bond market outlook, with reduced net selling of bonds by funds from 358.7 billion yuan in late July to 202.8 billion yuan in mid-August [18][3]. - The bond market is seeing increased buying interest from institutions, including banks and brokerages, as they position for a potential market reversal [18][3]. Group 4: Monetary Policy and Liquidity - The Federal Reserve's dovish signals from the Jackson Hole meeting have shifted market expectations towards potential interest rate cuts, easing global monetary tightening pressures and opening up domestic monetary policy space for rate cuts and liquidity injections [22][3][23]. - The People's Bank of China has been active in maintaining liquidity through reverse repos and MLF operations, indicating a supportive stance for the bond market [4][23]. Group 5: Bond Market Strategy - Current strategies suggest a focus on a "barbell" approach in bond investments, with attention to long-term government bonds and a gradual rebuilding of duration positions as monetary policy space opens up [26][3]. - The average duration of bond funds has been adjusted downwards, indicating a shift in strategy as institutions respond to market conditions [50][3].
