1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information regarding the industry investment rating is provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - From March 2 - 6, due to the escalation of the Middle - East geopolitical conflict, the bond market oscillated narrowly. Credit bond yields declined across the board, with medium - to long - term bonds performing better. The yields of 5 - 10 - year AA+ and AA and 5 - year AA(2) urban investment bonds dropped by 4 - 6bp, and the spreads narrowed by 2 - 4bp, while the spreads of 1 - 3 - year bonds widened passively by 1 - 3bp [1]. - Since 2026, in a volatile bond market environment, credit bonds have shown strong performance, with yields dropping significantly. High - elasticity credit varieties such as long - term general credit bonds and long - term Tier 2 and perpetual bonds have achieved good holding returns. However, the current overall credit spreads are at relatively low levels, and the spread protection space for some long - term general credit bonds is thin [2]. - If there is no incremental positive news in the bond market, long - end interest rates may enter a state where they cannot decline further, and the volatility of high - elasticity varieties such as long - term credit and long - term Tier 2 and perpetual bonds may increase. If the capital interest rate remains stable after the Two Sessions, the leverage strategy can continue to be used to increase returns, as medium - and short - term credit bonds still have a certain carry trade space [3]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Urban Investment Bonds - From March 1 - 8, the net financing of urban investment bonds was positive, with district - level platforms contributing the main increment. The issuance sentiment improved, and the issuance interest rates generally declined.

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This year, it is difficult for the bond market to follow the historical trend, and the bond market in March may still be in a "tangled period" [7][10]. - The "strong expectation" of investors will not weaken but strengthen, and it is uncertain whether there will be a resonance between the allocation and trading disks in March, which restricts the further decline of interest rates [7][12]. - The 10 - year treasury bond may fluctuate around 1.8%, with limited trading space. It is recommended to focus on more certain strategies, such as the carry - trade strategy and 3 - 4 - year bonds with strong convexity [7][15]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Bond Market Weekly Viewpoint - Since 2026, the bond market has first fallen and then risen. After the Spring Festival, it adjusted again and fluctuated narrowly.

With the intensification of overseas geopolitical conflicts, this "strong expectation" will be further strengthened [12]. - Bank enthusiasm for subscribing to bond funds has declined. Even though bank deposit growth was better than expected at the beginning of 2026, the participation of funds in the bond market is not high, and it is uncertain whether there will be a resonance between the allocation and trading disks in March [12]. 2.

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records primarily discuss the bond market, focusing on government bonds and the impact of monetary policy and fiscal actions on bond pricing and investor sentiment [1][2][3][4][5][7][8][9]. Key Points and Arguments Market Adjustments - Recent adjustments in the bond market have been concentrated in the ultra-long end, particularly influenced by news related to real estate policy changes, indicating persistent bearish sentiment [1]. - The short to medium-term pricing is influenced by the liquidity in the market, with expectations that Q1 2025 may be the last period of tightening in the interbank liquidity [1][7]. "Impossible Trinity" Framework - The bond market faces an "impossible trinity" dilemma where it is challenging to simultaneously achieve extended fiscal durations, avoid central bank purchases of long bonds, and not adjust bank indicators, which constrains the pricing of 30-year government bonds [1][7][9]. Central Bank Operations - The central bank's cautious approach to long-end operations suggests that it is unlikely to become a stable buyer in the ultra-long end of the market, especially during periods of declining interest rates [8][9]. Yield Expectations - The yield on 30-year government bonds is expected to be constrained around 2.35%, with a trading range projected between 2.2% and 2.4% for the foreseeable future [3][13][14]. Investor Sentiment - The sentiment in the bond market has shifted towards a bearish outlook, particularly in response to real estate news, which previously would not have impacted the market significantly [4][12]. - The current market dynamics suggest that the ultra-long end may continue to experience adjustments, with a potential for a prolonged period of volatility [12][18]. Credit Market Dynamics - The credit market is seeing a divergence in performance among different types of banks, with city commercial banks experiencing growth while rural commercial banks and joint-stock banks are contributing to a decline in credit scale [11]. Policy Implications - The monetary policy is expected to focus more on interest rate adjustments rather than quantity controls, which will provide a stable environment for short-term credit bonds [5][6][7]. - The fiscal policy is anticipated to become more aggressive in 2026, which may influence credit and bond market dynamics positively [11]. Other Important Insights - The behavior of institutional investors, particularly in the context of trading versus allocation, plays a significant role in shaping market trends and sentiment [10][12]. - The stability of bank deposits is attributed to a lack of systemic outflows, with a shift towards preventive demand rather than transactional demand [10]. - The bond market is currently characterized by a shift from a "buy and hold" strategy to a more reactive trading approach, particularly in a volatile environment [4][15][16]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights from the conference call records, highlighting the current state and future expectations of the bond market and its influencing factors.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Yields mostly increased, and credit spreads showed differentiation. General credit bonds (Pu Xin) performed better than Tier 2 and perpetual bonds. It is recommended to be cautious about long - term assets and focus on medium - and short - term credit bonds within 5 years [5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Primary Market - **General Credit Bonds**: The net supply of general credit bonds decreased compared to the previous period. The issuance of industrial bonds decreased to 503 billion yuan, and the net financing turned negative to - 294 billion yuan. The issuance of urban investment bonds decreased to 449 billion yuan, and the net financing turned negative to - 598 billion yuan. The weighted issuance term was 2.17 years, a decrease from the previous period [5][9]. - **Bank Tier 2 and Perpetual Bonds**: There was no new issuance or maturity of bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds this period. This has been the case for 8 consecutive weeks this year [5][27]. 3.2 Secondary Market - **Yields**: Yields generally increased. Except for some low - quality medium - term notes, 3 - year non - public and perpetual bonds, most general credit bonds' yields increased. Tier 2 and perpetual bonds' yields increased across the board except for the 5 - year AA - perpetual bonds, with larger increases in the medium - and long - term [5][40]. - **Credit Spreads**: Credit spreads showed differentiation. General credit bonds' spreads mostly narrowed except for the 7 - year ones, and low - quality bonds within 5 years performed well. Tier 2 and perpetual bonds' spreads mostly widened except for the 1 - year and 10 - year ones [5][44]. - **Turnover Rate**: The turnover rates of general credit bonds and bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds both decreased this week [55]. 3.3 Credit Strategy - Be cautious about long - term assets and focus on medium - and short - term credit bonds within 5 years. Consider the ticket - coupon value of some varieties and grade - sinking. Pay attention to investment opportunities in certain bonds such as real estate bonds of leading central and state - owned enterprises within 2 years, low - quality urban investment bonds within 3 years, medium - and high - grade perpetual or private general credit bonds around 3 years, and high - grade insurance sub - bonds from 3 - 5 years [5]. - For Tier 2 and perpetual bonds, pay attention to the approval progress of the People's Bank of China in March and the possibility of resuming issuance. In the short term, focus on the trading value of 6 - 7 - year Tier 2 and perpetual bonds [5]. 3.4 Urban Investment Bonds - Yields and credit spreads in different regions showed differentiation, with high - grade yields increasing and low - grade yields decreasing [58]. - The trading volume and turnover rate in different regions also showed different trends [63][65]. 3.5 Industrial Bonds - Yields and credit spreads in different industries showed differentiation, with low - grade bonds performing better than high - grade ones [66]. - The trading volume and turnover rate in different industries also showed different trends [70][73]. 3.6 Financial Bonds - Yields mostly increased, Tier 2 and perpetual bond spreads mostly widened, and the spreads of securities and insurance sub - bonds showed differentiation [74]. - The performance of yields, credit spreads, and excess spreads of bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds, as well as securities and insurance sub - bonds in different regions and with different ratings, is presented in detail [93][105]. 3.7 Stock Bond Distribution - The current yields are mostly distributed within 2.4%.

Group 1 - The report indicates that the credit bond market has shown a trend of oscillation and recovery, with overall trading sentiment remaining optimistic, characterized by "configuration bottoming + trading relay" [7][8] - The yield curve has exhibited a steepening downward repair, with credit spreads continuously compressing under the support of configuration demand, and most grades and term spreads are at historically low levels [7][8] - The core logic of the market revolves around "yield is king," with strong institutional willingness to hold bonds during the holiday period, seeking excess returns while extending duration within controllable risk [7][8] Group 2 - In the primary issuance segment, net financing has significantly decreased, with a total issuance of 1262.5 billion and a net financing of 292.9 billion during the week before the holiday, down from 2462 billion the previous week [11] - The secondary market saw a slight increase in transaction volume, with total transactions amounting to 8255.04 billion, up by 120.65 billion from the previous week, while most credit spreads have declined [14][15] - There were two issuers with upgraded ratings during the week, and no new defaults were reported, indicating a stable credit environment [19][20]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The short - end of the bond market depends on the central bank. The central bank's influence on the short - end funding has increased, bringing stability to the funding and alleviating the funding stratification. In the absence of interest rate cuts, the overnight funding rate corridor is expected to be between 1.2% - 1.4%. The short - end prices will be more stable, and the non - bank funding price stratification will also be fully alleviated. The performance of short - term bonds within 10 years is more related to the central bank's interest rate cuts and funding control [1][9][16]. - The long - end of the bond market depends on fiscal policy. The supply of ultra - long government bonds is an important factor affecting the long - end term spread. It is expected that the supply of ultra - long government bonds this year may still put upward pressure on the ultra - long - end bond yields. The 30 - year treasury bond yield is expected to break through the 2.2% key point, but after the breakthrough, attention should be paid to the post - festival fiscal supply. The 30 - year bond is more suitable as a flexible variety for right - side trading [1][9][34]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Short - end Depends on the Central Bank - **Increased Influence and Stability**: The central bank's influence on the short - end funding has significantly increased, bringing stability to the funding and basically solving the funding stratification problem, providing a stable space for carry strategies. Without interest rate cuts, the subsequent overnight funding rate corridor is expected to be between 1.2% - 1.4%. As the domestic interest rate transmission mechanism improves, short - end funding prices will be more stable, and the interest rate corridor, especially the upper limit, will narrow [1][9][16]. - **Alleviation of Non - bank Funding Stratification**: In Q1 2025, the spread between DR001 and R001 widened rapidly, but since then, the funding stratification has been significantly alleviated. Currently, the monthly spread between DR and R is stable within 10BP, providing a stable coupon strategy for non - banks. The performance of short - term bonds within 10 years is more related to the central bank's interest rate cuts and funding control [9][17]. - **Overseas Experience**: The Federal Reserve effectively controls the short - end bond market interest rates. The one - year US Treasury bond yield moves almost in line with the federal benchmark interest rate [9][30]. Long - end Depends on Fiscal Policy - **Influence of Ultra - long Government Bond Supply**: Ultra - long government bond supply is an important factor affecting the long - end term spread of the bond market, and the 30Y - 1Y spread is more sensitive to this factor than the 10Y - 1Y spread. Empirical results show that the net financing of ultra - long bonds and CPI year - on - year have a positive driving effect on the term spread, and the 30 - year treasury bond is more sensitive to the supply shock of ultra - long bonds [34]. - **Overseas Experience**: In the long run, the long - end US Treasury bond yields are affected by fiscal factors. However, during special periods such as QE or QT, they are disturbed by the Federal Reserve's policies. The scale of government debt on the fiscal side, especially the outstanding balance of long - term Treasury bonds, has a significant impact on the long - bond term spread [36]. - **Domestic Situation in 2026**: Since 2026, the issuance duration of local bonds has continued to lengthen. As of February 10, 2026, the weighted issuance duration of local bonds was 13 years, an increase of 0.6 years compared to last year. The new local bond issuance scale in January 2026 was 4285 billion yuan, slightly higher than 3053 billion yuan in the same period last year. It is expected that the overall fiscal rhythm this year will be the same as last year, with the supply peak mainly in the second and third quarters. The supply of ultra - long government bonds this year may still be a risk factor for the bond market. The 30 - year treasury bond yield is expected to break through 2.2%, but after the breakthrough, attention should be paid to the post - festival fiscal supply, and it is more suitable for right - side trading [9][39][43].

Core View of the Report - In the primary market, the net supply of ordinary credit bonds increased compared to the previous period, while the net supply of bank perpetual and secondary capital bonds (two - tiered perpetual bonds, "二永债") turned negative due to no issuance this period [4]. - In the secondary market, yields mainly declined, and credit spreads mostly widened. 3 - year ordinary credit bonds, 5 - year financial bonds, and weak - quality urban investment bonds performed well. The turnover rate of ordinary credit bonds and bank perpetual bonds decreased, while that of bank secondary capital bonds increased [4]. - For credit strategies, it is advisable to moderately extend the duration to 3 - 5 years for carry trades, and also focus on short - to - medium - term coupon - bearing assets and the potential cost - effectiveness of ETF component bonds.

The average yield distributions of industrial bonds in various industries and urban investment bonds in different regions are presented in detail in the report, with most yields concentrated in a relatively low range [105][106][108].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference primarily discusses the bond market, focusing on the recovery trends observed since mid-January 2026, with specific attention to government bonds and credit bonds [1][2]. Key Points and Arguments Recovery of the Bond Market - The bond market has shown signs of recovery due to three main factors: 1. **Stability of Government and Local Bonds**: The stability of interest rates for government bonds and local bonds has been crucial. The 10-year government bond has remained stable, not exceeding 1.9%, while local bonds have stayed below 2.5% [2]. 2. **Banking Sector Participation**: There has been an increase in bank allocations to bonds, particularly after the clarity of KPIs for banks in 2026. This has led to a stronger demand for bonds, especially those with shorter durations [3][4]. 3. **External Support Factors**: External factors such as the stagnation of equity markets and expectations of monetary easing have contributed to the bond market's recovery. The MLF (Medium-term Lending Facility) has also seen increased volumes, indicating a supportive monetary environment [4][5]. Future Market Outlook - The outlook for the bond market remains cautious but optimistic. Short-duration bonds are expected to perform well, while long-duration bonds may face more volatility. The market anticipates that the recovery could serve as a precedent for future bond market trends in 2026 [5][6]. - The potential for downward movement in interest rates exists, particularly for 10-year government bonds, if deposit rates continue to decline [5][6]. Risks and Challenges - The bond market may face challenges related to supply and demand mismatches, especially in the first and second quarters of 2026. The issuance of local bonds is expected to be high, which could lead to increased pressure on the market [9][10]. - The risk indicators for banks remain a concern, particularly for smaller banks, which may face stricter regulations and slower adjustments to their risk profiles [9][10]. Investment Recommendations - Analysts recommend focusing on 10-year government bonds and certain credit bonds, particularly those with favorable yield spreads. The expectation is that these assets will provide stability and potential for appreciation in the current market environment [11][12]. - The discussion also highlights the potential for industry-specific perpetual bonds, particularly those issued by state-owned enterprises, which are seen as having a favorable risk-return profile [17][18]. Market Dynamics - The dynamics of the bond market are influenced by the behavior of institutional investors, with a noted shift towards increasing allocations in response to market conditions. The performance of convertible bonds is also highlighted, with expectations of continued demand despite some volatility [26][27]. Conclusion - The bond market is currently in a recovery phase, supported by stable interest rates, increased bank participation, and favorable external conditions. However, potential risks related to supply-demand mismatches and regulatory pressures on banks warrant careful monitoring. Investment strategies should focus on stable, shorter-duration bonds and select credit instruments to navigate the evolving landscape [36].
