Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - On April 22, the yields of Treasury bond cash bonds strengthened, with the yields of 1 - 7Y maturities declining by about 0.5 - 1.5bp, and the yields of 10Y and 30Y maturities declining by about 1.5bp and 2.5bp to 1.64% and 1.87% respectively. Treasury bond futures closed higher across the board, with the TS, TF, T, and TL main contracts rising by 0.01%, 0.07%, 0.17%, and 0.50% respectively. The central bank conducted a net withdrawal, and the weighted average rate of DR007 fluctuated around 1.70%. - Domestically, in March, both the manufacturing and service industry PMIs were in the expansion range and increased month - on - month, indicating marginal improvement in the economy. The unemployment rate improved month - on - month, but price data remained weak, with CPI down 0.1% year - on - year and PPI down 2.5% year - on - year. Financial data slightly exceeded expectations, with government bonds supporting social financing, but the financing willingness of the private sector still needed to be boosted. With policy front - loading to boost domestic demand, economic data performed strongly, with retail sales, fixed - asset investment, and industrial added value slightly exceeding expectations. - Overseas, the US PMI in March declined slightly, and non - farm payrolls growth, CPI, PPI, and retail sales data all fell short of expectations. - In terms of strategy, the risk - aversion sentiment caused by tariff shocks has eased, and the focus of the bond market may return from short - term sentiment to domestic fundamental pressure. The need for stable growth supports the continued decline of the medium - and long - term interest rate center. The second quarter may be the window for monetary easing, and reserve requirement ratio cuts may take precedence over interest rate cuts. There is a greater divergence at the important interest rate level of 1.6% for the 10 - year bond. Under heavy selling pressure, bond futures fluctuated and declined, but still showed strength after the adjustment. Attention should be paid to whether the Politburo meeting at the end of the month releases incremental information. If the policy intensity fails to meet expectations, the yield of the 10 - year Treasury bond may fluctuate and stabilize in the range of 1.65% - 1.75% in the short term and then continue to decline [2]. 3.
