Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that after an unexpected allocation by banks at the beginning of the year, the bond market has experienced a slow upward trend, with recent hesitations. The ten-year government bond ETF (511260) has shown a slight increase of 0.05% over the past five days [1] - Short-term interest rates may have opportunities to decline, but in the medium to long term, a narrow range of fluctuations is expected to persist.
