Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - Short - term, medium - to high - grade credit bonds remain the top choice, and the idea of excavating based on the issuer's yield curve should be continued. In the current environment, the market pursues certainty and low volatility, so short - term, medium - to high - grade credit bonds are preferred for the pure - bond part. It is recommended to look for riding opportunities in the steep part of the curve or "convex points" of individual bonds when gradually moving towards the medium - and long - term [5][8]. - There are issuers with relatively large term spreads among those with an implied rating of AA+ or above. After the trading concentration in the 1 - 2Y segment further increases, the 2 - 3Y term spread may be repaired, which is suitable for institutions with strong liability - side stability to layout in advance. For issuers with an implied AA rating, there is also room for excavation, and investors can sink according to their needs [5][10][12]. 3.
