1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the Fed restarts rate cuts, the probability of the domestic central bank "following suit" to cut rates increases, with a higher probability of implementation after the end of October. After three consecutive months of adjustment, the current bond market has shown initial signs of stabilization. In the fourth quarter, bond market interest rates may start a new round of smooth decline. Investors are advised to defend and counterattack, and enter the market at around 1.8% of the 10-year Treasury bond [1][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Market Weekly Observation - From September 15 - 19, 2025, the expectation of the central bank's monetary easing strengthened, and the 10-year Treasury bond interest rate showed an "N" shape. The impact of the equity market on the bond market has gradually weakened, and investors' expectation of the central bank's loose monetary policy has strengthened [11]. 3.2 External Constraints Weaken: "Room for Maneuver" Opens - On September 18, the Fed cut the federal benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to the 4.0% - 4.25% range, the first rate cut since late 2024. Since mid-July 2025, the narrowing of the Sino-US interest rate spread and the weakening of the US dollar have reduced the risk of capital outflows, improved the domestic liquidity environment, and opened up room for the central bank to cut rates. However, it is necessary to prevent the side effect of "rapid RMB appreciation → decline in export competitiveness" [12][16]. 3.3 Internal Constraints Remain: Low Bank Interest Margin + Rising Real Interest Rate - Currently, rate cuts still face the dual constraints of "low bank net interest margin + rising real interest rate". As of June 2025, the net interest margin of commercial banks has dropped to a historical low. A significant rate cut may lead to higher real interest rates, which will inhibit consumption and investment to some extent [20]. 3.4 Rate Cuts Are Approaching: Higher Probability After the End of October - After the Fed's rate cut, the probability of the domestic central bank cutting rates increases, but the pace, magnitude, and method will be "domestically oriented", with a higher probability of implementation after the end of October. If the GDP and credit data in the third quarter continue to weaken and the Fed cuts rates again in October, it may be a better time for the central bank to cut rates comprehensively [27][28]. 3.5 Bond Market Asset Performance No specific content analysis provided in the text, only some data chart descriptions. 3.6 High-Frequency Entity Tracking: Food Prices Differentiate, Energy Costs Rise - **Price-related**: This week, the Nanhua Agricultural Products Index declined slightly, international crude oil prices rose, vegetable and meat prices mostly declined, and fruit prices rose [45]. - **Industry-related**: This week, the Nanhua Industrial Products Index rose, glass and coking coal prices increased, and the blast furnace operating rate and petroleum asphalt operating rate showed differentiation [51]. - **Investment and Real Estate-related**: This week, investment and real estate-related data remained weak, with a decline in the land transaction area in 100 large and medium-sized cities and a slight increase in the commercial housing transaction area in 30 large and medium-sized cities.
