Report Summary - The report focuses on the possible adjustment path of the term structure of interest-bearing bonds in 2026, analyzing local government bond issuance plans and related influencing factors [1][2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - There is currently no evidence of changes in local government bond issuance terms from the plans of individual provinces; the adjustment space for general bonds is limited, and special bonds need adjustment, but the terms of special bonds for replacing implicit debts have always been long; historically, the issuance terms were adjusted downward after local government bonds "soared" in October 2023, but the current situation is different; in terms of national debt supply, the terms of general national debt have significantly shortened, and special national debt is the key focus [3] Summary by Related Catalogs Shandong's 2026 First Batch of Local Bond Issuance Plan - On December 26, Shandong announced its first batch of local bond issuance plans for 2026, with a total of 72.381 billion yuan of special bonds to be issued on January 5, 2026, with a weighted average term of 21 years. Among them, the new special bonds are 46.772 billion yuan, and the proportions of 10Y, 15Y, and 30Y are 16.2%, 25.3%, and 48.5% respectively; the refinancing special bonds for replacing implicit debts are 25.609 billion yuan, and the proportions of 10Y, 15Y, and 30Y are 6.6%, 47.0%, and 46.4% respectively. Compared with the first quarter of 2025, the term structure is relatively similar [2] Term Structure of Local Bond Issuance Plans of Announced Provinces - As of December 30, 24 regions have announced their local bond issuance plans for the first quarter or January of 2026, with a total amount of 1.88 trillion yuan. Some regions have reduced ultra-long-term varieties in their issuance plans compared with the first quarter of 2025. Local government general bonds have a relatively stable overall issuance term and limited adjustment space, while the terms of new, implicit debt replacement, and special refinancing special bonds have significantly lengthened in the past five years and have some adjustment space [2] Factors Affecting Local Bond Issuance Terms - In 2023, the weighted average issuance term of overall government bonds decreased, with the proportion of bonds over 10Y decreasing. The local bond issuance spread is a key indicator. Since June 2021, the average issuance spread of local bonds has significantly declined, but it increased in October 2023, and the issuance terms of general and special bonds decreased. In terms of national debt supply, the terms of general national debt have significantly shortened in recent years, while special national debt is the main provider of ultra-long bonds [2][3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week (May 12 - May 16), the bond market was mainly volatile, with a differentiated yield curve and a steeper long - end. Yields generally rose due to factors such as better - than - expected China - US trade and tightened liquidity after the RRR cut and central bank's net capital withdrawal. As of May 16, the yields of 30Y, 10Y, and 1Y treasury bonds changed by 4BP, 3BP, and closed at 1.88%, 1.68%, and 1.45% respectively. The term spreads of 30Y - 10Y and 10Y - 1Y changed by - 1BP and 1BP to 20BP and 23BP respectively [1][7]. - Next week, the liquidity may be disturbed by factors such as concentrated treasury bond supply and tax periods, but the probability of a significant tightening is low. Fundamentally, most production indicators declined, real - estate transactions decreased year - on - year, and most price sectors continued to fall [1][25]. - In the short term, the bond market may be disturbed by tax periods and supply, but overall it is not bearish. Attention should be paid to the progress of fiscal bond issuance in May and the changes in liquidity maintained by the central bank [3][85]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 This Week's Bond Market Review: Bond Market Weakened, Yield Curve Differentiated, Long - end Steepened - This week, the bond market was affected by better - than - expected China - US trade, RRR cut but central bank's net capital withdrawal and tightened liquidity. Yields generally rose. The 10Y yield increase was due to better - than - expected China - US trade negotiations, stronger equity market, and tightened liquidity [1][7]. - Specifically, on May 12, the bond market weakened significantly due to better - than - expected China - US trade negotiations; on May 13, the bond market recovered as liquidity was loose; on May 14, the bond market weakened slightly as the equity market strengthened; on May 15, the bond market weakened as liquidity tightened; on May 16, the long - and short - ends of the bond market showed differentiated performance as the funding rate increased [20][21]. 3.2 Next Week's Outlook and Strategy 3.2.1 Bond Market Outlook: Liquidity May Be Disturbed by Concentrated Treasury Bond Supply and Tax Periods, but the Probability of a Significant Tightening Is Low - Fundamentals: Most production indicators declined by 0.5 - 1 percentage point, but the operating rate of automobile semi - steel tires recovered to the pre - holiday level, rising to 78.33% month - on - month. Real - estate indicators such as commercial housing sales and land transactions decreased by 9 - 31% year - on - year. Most price indices continued to fall, with a decline of 0.4 - 0.7% except for pork prices which were flat compared to last week [25][37][44]. - Supply: From May 12 - May 16, the issuance scale of interest - rate bonds decreased slightly. The issuance of treasury bonds was 5904.9 billion yuan (including 280 billion yuan of special treasury bonds), local bonds was 1972.5 billion yuan, and inter - bank certificates of deposit was 5139.9 billion yuan, a decrease of 326.49 billion yuan compared to last week. The overall issuance progress of local bonds reached 32.5% [2][58]. - Liquidity: From May 12 - May 16, the central bank's reverse repurchase had a net withdrawal of 475.1 billion yuan. Liquidity tightened this week. DR001/DR007 rose by 14BP and 10BP respectively compared to May 9. For next week, attention should be paid to the disturbance caused by the large - scale and long - term treasury bond supply [2][67]. 3.2.2 Bond Market Strategy: In the Short Term, It May Be Disturbed by Tax Periods and Supply, but the Bond Market Is Not Bearish Overall - Next week, attention should be paid to: 1) The peak issuance of special treasury bonds and the accelerated implementation of new special bonds will drive the high - level supply of government bonds. The net supply in May is estimated to be about 1.9 trillion yuan. 2) The central bank will maintain liquidity, but it may be disturbed by tax periods and bond issuance. The probability of a significant tightening of liquidity is low. 3) The policy space is compressed, and the expectation of "loose money" is lowered [3][85]. - In terms of interest rates, the bond market will be volatile in the short term. The 10 - year treasury bond yield may reach a maximum of 1.8% (the level before the US announced tariffs in April), and considering a 10BP policy rate cut, 1.7% is a good point for increasing positions. For the short - end, if liquidity tightens next week, short - end interest rates may rise, and trading opportunities can be focused on [4][86]. 3.3 Next Week's Open - Market Operations and Financial Calendar - The table shows the central bank's open - market operations in the past four weeks and the forecast for the next four weeks, including reverse repurchase, MLF, and net investment (withdrawal) [87]. - The table of next week's (May 19 - May 25) capital calendar shows the expected issuance scale of local government bonds, the maturity scale of certificates of deposit, the maturity scale of reverse repurchases, and whether it is a tax - payment week or a reserve - payment week [90]. - The table of next week's financial calendar shows the release date, time, event/indicator name, and market expectation of some economic data [91].
