Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - This week, the market fluctuated and consolidated. Major broad - based indices and convertible bond indices recorded negative returns, but most sectors had shallow declines. The domestic market is still waiting for incremental information, with adjustments concentrated in previously crowded small - cap stocks, and bond yields showed a fluctuating downward trend. In May, the equity market may replicate the 2020 "first fluctuate, then break through" path under the expectations of seizing exports, stabilizing domestic demand, and stabilizing the capital market [1][3]. - In the short - term, the risk of a significant market decline is limited, and the fluctuating pattern is expected to continue. It is recommended to focus on high - grade, fundamentally stable convertible bonds, and the dumbbell strategy is dominant. In terms of strategies, it is necessary to balance defensive stability and theme flexibility, and dynamically balance the industry's prosperity rhythm and valuation cost - effectiveness [3]. - In terms of individual bonds, the top 10 convertible bonds in the low - volatility portfolio in May are Wenshan Convertible Bond, Ran 23 Convertible Bond, etc.; the top 10 in the stable portfolio are Yong 02 Convertible Bond, Dongjie Convertible Bond, etc.; the top 10 in the high - volatility portfolio are Furong Convertible Bond, Qilin Convertible Bond, etc. [3] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The document does not provide a specific industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the joint statement of China, the US, and Japan, the convertible bond and equity markets showed a relatively strong oscillation throughout the week. The core logic lies in the rapid reversal of market sentiment. In the next stage, the market's perception of the marginal changes in tariff games may shift from pessimism to neutrality. Considering the potential risk - release pressure in the current convertible bond market, the dumbbell allocation strategy that combines stability and growth may continue to be dominant. Specifically, attention should be paid to sectors benefiting from domestic demand stimulation and new - quality productivity [1]. - In the past week (from May 12th to May 16th), most convertible bond indices rose. The price median of the convertible bond market slightly increased to 121.97 yuan, at the 87.38% level since 2017. The market style is likely to favor fundamentals rather than growth. In the short - term, the risk of a significant decline in the equity market is limited, and the trend of continuous upward repair may continue. It is recommended that investors focus on high - grade, fundamentally stable convertible bonds. Convertible bonds related to consumer electronics, home appliances, and home furnishings that benefit from consumption subsidies can also be appropriately considered. For new - quality productivity - related convertible bonds, high - priced targets can be appropriately taken profit [2]. 3.
