Report's Core View - In 2025, China's foreign trade imports and exports reached 45.47 trillion yuan, a record high, with a year - on - year increase of 3.8%. Exports were 26.99 trillion yuan, up 6.1% year - on - year, and imports were 18.48 trillion yuan, up 0.5% year - on - year.

Long - term bonds may experience a rebound from oversold conditions. Since the second half of 2025, the bond market has often deviated from the fundamentals and may be dominated by institutional behavior. Currently, long - term bond yields are at a one - year high, making long - term bonds attractive for investment. It is expected that the yield of the 30Y Treasury active bond will gradually return to around 2.2% in the first quarter. However, due to the strong stock market, trading desks may not buy ultra - long - term bonds in the short term. Major opportunities for ultra - long - term bonds await a significant decline in institutional expectations for the stock market and a reduction in policy interest rates [4][98]. 3.
