Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The current bond market lacks a new main - line driver, and the strengthening of the equity market has significantly increased market risk appetite, suppressing bond market sentiment, especially with increased selling pressure on the ultra - long end of interest - rate bonds, leading to a continuous widening of the spread between 10 - year and 30 - year bonds. In this context, the "strong stock, weak bond" linkage effect may intensify, and in the short term, liquidity factors may become the core logic guiding bond market trading. It is recommended to focus on opportunities for the expansion of term spreads brought about by curve steepening [2]. 3.
