Group 1 - The bond market has faced adjustments since the second half of 2025, with rising yields and increased volatility, putting pressure on bond funds known for their stability [1][2] - Fund managers are focusing more on drawdown control and investment strategy iteration, with "negative duration" risk hedging strategies gaining attention [1][4] - The bond market is expected to present a volatile pattern in 2026, with traditional strategies regaining effectiveness and the allocation of convertible bonds and equity assets becoming important for enhancing returns [1][8] Group 2 - Over the past six months, bond market yields have continued to rise, with the 10-year government bond yield increasing from approximately 1.65% in early July 2025 to nearly 1.9% by January 7, 2026, a rise of 25 basis points [2] - The net value of pure bond funds has been under pressure, with the pure bond fund index rising only 0.05% over the past six months, while the mid-to-long-term pure bond fund index fell by 0.51% [2] - The current challenges for bond investments include poor odds and changes in traditional pricing logic, with institutional behavior and risk asset performance becoming more influential [2][3] Group 3 - The "negative duration" strategy is gaining attention as it allows for capital gains during rising interest rate cycles by constructing a portfolio with short-term liabilities and long-term assets [4][5] - This strategy has practical value in specific market conditions, particularly when interest rates are clearly on the rise and the yield curve steepens [4] - Fund managers are advised to be cautious with the "negative duration" strategy due to its high entry barriers, significant trading costs, and potential risks if interest rate directions are misjudged [6] Group 4 - In a volatile market, the ability to control drawdowns is crucial, but fund managers must also be able to generate excess returns to demonstrate their value [7] - The bond market is expected to experience a wide range of fluctuations in 2026, with traditional strategies like riding strategies, leverage strategies, and variety rotation strategies becoming more effective [7][8] - Fund managers are encouraged to adapt their strategies to the changing market dynamics, focusing on high-yield assets and maintaining flexibility in their investment approaches [8][9]

Report Information - Report Type: Fixed Income Report - Release Date: January 13, 2026 - Analyst: Liang Weichao [2] - Research Assistant: Wang Yi [2] Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The larger the increase in the spring stock market rally, the higher the probability of pressure on the bond market. When the Shanghai Composite Index rises more than 20% in spring, the 10 - year Treasury bonds are likely to fall during the same period. In the more common 10% - 20% medium - increase range, the bond market is more likely to fluctuate or stage a phased recovery [2]. - A mid - stage acceleration in the spring stock market rally is more likely to suppress the bond market than a bottom - bouncing recovery. When the rally occurs in the mid - stage acceleration of the stock market, it's more likely to be interpreted as a signal of fundamental or policy orientation changes, and inflation and nominal growth expectations enter the core of pricing, putting pressure on the bond market [3]. - A spring rally led by cyclical sectors has a greater impact on the bond market than an independent rally in technology and consumer sectors. When cyclical and stable sectors resonate with growth sectors, the re - pricing of nominal growth and credit expansion is significantly strengthened, and the bond market is under greater pressure [3]. - In 2026, the spring stock market rally is likely to be a combination of "mid - stage acceleration, easing expectations, and growth - led", which will mainly cause short - term disturbances to the bond market rather than being a long - term negative factor. Before the rally spreads to cyclical and stable sectors and forms a resonance, interest rates are more likely to remain volatile at a high level, and the first quarter may be a phased high point [4]. Summary by Directory 1. The Impact of Past Spring Stock Market Rallies on the Bond Market Varies by Increase - **1.1 "Spring Rally" Offers Good Opportunities, Risk Preference Tilts towards the Stock Market**: The spring rally in the A - share market is a high - probability and high - return phased market window. From 2002 to 2026, the probability of a spring rally is over 90%. The average maximum increase in the main rising phase of the spring rally is about 14%, and the average increase remains at about 12% in the past 15 years. In some years, such as 2007, 2009, 2015 and 2019, the increase exceeded 30% [10]. - **1.2 Past Spring Stock Market Rallies Tend to Pressure the Bond Market, with a High Probability of Bond Market Recovery in the Medium - Increase Range**: When the Shanghai Composite Index rises more than 20% during the "spring rally", the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate is likely to rise significantly. When the increase is less than 20%, the bond market shows different performances, including simultaneous rises in stocks and bonds, and stocks rising while bonds falling. In the medium - increase range, the bond market may either rise or fall, but there is a high probability of recovery even if it falls [13]. 2. Bond Market Performance Varies Depending on the "Stage of the Larger Stock Market Rally" during the Spring Stock Market Rally - **2.1 In the Case of a Low - Level Rebound in the Spring Stock Market Rally, Loose Liquidity May Drive Stocks and Bonds to Rise Together**: When the spring rally starts in the low - level repair stage (i.e., a rebound after an oversold), stocks and bonds often move in the same direction, and the bond market is insensitive to the rise of the stock market. In the past, when the stock market rebounded from a low level in spring and the stage increase did not exceed 20%, the 10 - year Treasury bond yield mostly remained stable or declined during the spring rally. The larger the decline in the Shanghai Composite Index in the two months before the spring rally, the greater the possible decline in interest rates during the spring rally. For example, in 2024, the stock market and the bond market both rose during the spring rally [18][22]. - **2.2 In the Case of a Mid - Stage Acceleration in the Spring Stock Market Rally, the Bond Market Is Likely to Be Pressured First and Then Ease**: When the spring rally occurs in the acceleration stage of the stock market's upward trend, the bond market may face pressure in the short term but is likely to ease later. In this context, the continued rise of the stock market is more likely to be interpreted as a signal of "expected fundamental improvement or policy orientation change", which puts pressure on the bond market [23]. 3. The Impact of Spring Stock Market Rallies Led by Different Styles on the Bond Market Varies - **3.1 Spring Stock Market Rallies Led Solely by Technology, Consumption, or Finance Have Limited Suppression on the Bond Market**: When the spring rally is led by the growth (technology) sector, the rise of the stock market mainly reflects the repair of risk preference and the anticipation of the future development of emerging industries, and has little impact on the bond market. For example, in 2010, 2014, 2024 and 2025, the average change in the 10 - year Treasury bond yield during the spring rally was only - 1.5bp. When the consumer sector leads the rally, the impact on the bond market is also positive. When the financial sector leads the rally, there is a high probability of driving both stocks and bonds up [31]. - **3.2 Spring Stock Market Rallies with Resonance of Cyclical and Stable Styles Shake Expectations and Impact the Bond Market**: When the "growth, stable and cyclical" sectors resonate in the spring rally, the impact on the bond market is more significant. The resonance of these sectors strengthens the market's pricing of the return of nominal growth, credit expansion and policy effects, and puts upward pressure on the risk - free interest rate. For example, in 2007, 2009 and 2015, the bond market was significantly pressured [35]. 4. How to "Invest in Bonds Based on the Stock Market" in the 2026 Spring Stock Market Rally? - In 2026, the spring stock market rally is likely to be a risk - preference repair - type increase, focusing on growth themes. It will mainly cause short - term disturbances to the bond market rather than being a long - term negative factor. After the spring rally, the downward pressure on interest rates may gradually ease. Before the rally spreads to cyclical and stable sectors and forms a resonance, interest rates are more likely to remain volatile at a high level, and the first quarter may be a phased high point [40][44].

Core Viewpoint - The "stock-bond seesaw" phenomenon is expected to continue in the near term, with no signs of improvement in the bond market as it remains under pressure from liquidity challenges and investor sentiment [1][4][5]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The bond market has faced significant liquidity tests, with net redemptions of over 5.5 billion units in bond funds during the third quarter, indicating a severe outflow from this asset class [1][2]. - The A-share market has been strong, with the Shanghai Composite Index fluctuating around the 4000-point mark, contrasting sharply with the bond market, where bearish sentiment prevails [2][3]. - Nearly 60% of the 7300 bond fund products experienced net redemptions, with pure bond funds, especially medium to long-term ones, suffering the most [2][3]. Group 2: Redemption Trends - The trend of redemptions has continued into the fourth quarter, with at least 35 bond funds reporting significant outflows since October [3]. - Major bond funds have seen substantial reductions in scale, with some funds losing nearly half of their assets due to redemptions and poor performance [2][3]. - Specific examples include the Huaxia Dingmao fund, which was redeemed by nearly 13.1 billion units in a single quarter, and other funds like Xingye Tianli and Xingye Tianying also facing significant outflows [2][3]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The bond market is currently waiting for clear signals from fiscal and monetary policies, which are expected to dictate future trends [5][7]. - The potential impact of public fund fee reforms is being closely monitored, as changes could affect liquidity management and institutional investment preferences [6][7]. - Long-term interest rates may have more room to rise, supported by expected fiscal stimulus and improving inflation expectations, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties [7].

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing outflow of residents' deposits is likely to continue, leading to a preference for equities over bonds in the long term [1] Group 1: Market Trends - A breakthrough in the stock market indicates an increase in risk appetite, while a downturn suggests a higher probability of bond price increases [1] - In uncertain market conditions characterized by low volatility and range-bound trading, bonds may also experience similar range-bound movements [1] Group 2: Central Bank Influence - Both stocks and bonds may respond to liquidity operations by the central bank, potentially leading to a dual bullish scenario for both asset classes in the short term [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In August 2025, most economic data showed a slowdown. Against the backdrop of credit - easing policies, the market risk appetite continued to improve, driving the Shanghai Composite Index to break through the high of the past 10 years. The "stock - bond seesaw" affected the bond market, with different - term bond yields generally rising. Looking forward to September, the bond market faces greater adjustment pressure, but if the 10Y Treasury bond rate breaks through 1.8%, the allocation portfolio may gradually enter the market [2][3][5]. - The economic fundamentals in July showed a slowdown trend, with only exports accelerating among the six major indicators. The divergence between domestic and foreign demand became more obvious, and the GDP reading weakened significantly compared with the second quarter. The Fed is likely to start cutting interest rates in September, and the RMB may appreciate in the second half of the year [4][28][72]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 2025 August China Capital Market Review 3.1.1 China Capital Market Trend Review - In August, most economic data weakened. Under the influence of credit - easing policies, the market risk appetite improved, and the Shanghai Composite Index broke through the high of the past 10 years. The bond market was affected by factors such as the "stock - bond seesaw" and the unexpected convergence of the capital market around the tax period, with the yields of different - term bonds rising. The yield of the 1 - year Treasury bond active bond decreased by 1.75BP to 1.35%, the 10 - year increased by 7.45BP to 1.78%, and the 30 - year increased by 10.4BP to 2.0180% [2][3][10]. 3.1.2 Bond Market Primary Issuance Situation - In August, the pressure of government bonds increased significantly. The net issuance of local bonds was 977.6 billion yuan, less than the planned amount by 183.2 billion yuan, mainly due to the shortfall in new special bonds. The net issuance of national bonds was 593.3 billion yuan, and that of policy - financial bonds was 771 billion yuan. The supply pressure of government bonds in September may decline month - on - month, and the pressure on the capital market may ease [18]. 3.1.3 Capital Market Tracking - In August, the central bank continued to make large - scale capital injections. The monthly central values of DR001 and R001 decreased. Looking forward to September, the pressure on the capital market may increase, and attention should be paid to the central bank's incremental monetary policies [23]. 3.2 China Bond Market Macroeconomic Environment Interpretation 3.2.1 Economic Fundamentals and Monetary Policy - In July, most economic data showed a slowdown. Industrial, service, consumption, investment, and real - estate sales growth rates were lower than the previous values, and the GDP reading weakened. The central bank continued to inject funds in August, and the Politburo meeting had a more positive attitude towards loose monetary policies [28][66]. 3.2.2 Overseas Economy - In July, the global de - dollarization process slowed down, but the downward pressure on the US economy began to emerge. The Fed is likely to start cutting interest rates in September. The US economic downward pressure is greater than the inflation upward momentum, and the RMB may appreciate in the second half of the year [68][72][79]. 3.3 2025 September China Bond Market Outlook and Allocation Strategy - In September, although it is very likely that economic data will continue to weaken, the bond market still faces great adjustment pressure. If the 10Y Treasury bond rate breaks through 1.8%, the allocation portfolio can gradually enter the market. Some local bonds with a spread of 30bp higher than national bonds have allocation value [80][81].

Group 1 - The report from Huaxi Securities indicates a significant decline in long-term interest rates, with 10-year and 30-year government bonds dropping by 2.2 basis points and 4.0 basis points, respectively, to 1.764% and 1.998%, marking a notable independent performance in the bond market compared to the equity market in August [1][2] - The team identifies three main reasons for this trend: rising market expectations for interest rate cuts, with the Federal Reserve's dovish stance alleviating concerns about a September rate hike, and indications of potential decreases in the prices of buyout repos and MLF, reinforcing confidence in monetary easing [1][2] - Long-term bonds are perceived to have reached a high value in terms of cost-effectiveness, attracting institutional buying primarily from large banks and brokerages, while fund net purchases of long-term bonds remain relatively low, suggesting a deeper capital initiation in the current bond market recovery [1] Group 2 - The proximity of key points in the stock market is contributing to a rise in bullish sentiment in the bond market, as the stock market continues to surge without significantly draining resources from the bond market, leading to increased confidence in a potential transition from a rapid bull market to a more stable one [2] - The overall market's substantial increase in volume reflects strong capital sentiment, while a significant rise in implied volatility signals a rapid increase in speculative activity [2] - Despite short-term market fluctuations being closely tied to trading behaviors, the three long-term bullish narratives—stable market policies, a focus on technology, and anti-involution discourse—remain robust, suggesting that any adjustments in the market could present new opportunities for investment [2]

Core Viewpoint - The bond market is under significant pressure, with rising yields leading to capital losses and a failure of traditional investment logic [1] Group 1: Market Conditions - Bond market yields have increased sharply, resulting in capital losses for investors [1] - The traditional investment logic in the bond market has become ineffective [1] Group 2: Pricing Factors - The three key factors influencing bond market pricing—liquidity, fundamentals, and policy—are theoretically supportive of lower interest rates [1] - The market has shifted to a pricing state driven by a single variable of risk appetite, leading to a trend of "investing in stocks while holding bonds" [1] Group 3: Future Outlook - Institutions believe that the most pessimistic phase may have passed, and the bond market is expected to return to its fundamental pricing logic [1] - After significant adjustments in the bond market, both trading and allocation opportunities have emerged [1]

Core Viewpoint - The bond market is experiencing significant pressure due to rising long-term yields and the failure of traditional interest rate pricing frameworks, leading to a state where stock market performance heavily influences bond pricing [1][14][13]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Since mid-July, the bond market has faced capital losses due to a substantial rise in long-term yields, with 10-year and 30-year government bond yields increasing by 12 basis points and 25 basis points respectively from July 15 to August 22 [13][1]. - The stock market's extreme risk-reward ratio has maintained a rolling 3-month Calmar ratio above 4.0 since July, a level not seen during the previous year's "924" rally, putting additional pressure on the bond market [14][1]. - The bond market is currently in a pricing state dominated by risk appetite, leading to a "look at stocks, act on bonds" approach [1][14]. Group 2: Future Market Logic - Two potential scenarios for the stock market's future are identified: a rapid rise supported by the "93 consensus" or a period of volatility as investors take profits ahead of the September 3 military parade [17][2]. - If the rapid rise scenario occurs, the bond market may face further declines, with long-term rates potentially approaching March highs. Conversely, if the volatility scenario plays out, the bond market could see a recovery as yields decline [17][2]. Group 3: Institutional Behavior and Fund Flows - Institutional behavior indicates a potential for a more optimistic bond market outlook, with reduced net selling of bonds by funds from 358.7 billion yuan in late July to 202.8 billion yuan in mid-August [18][3]. - The bond market is seeing increased buying interest from institutions, including banks and brokerages, as they position for a potential market reversal [18][3]. Group 4: Monetary Policy and Liquidity - The Federal Reserve's dovish signals from the Jackson Hole meeting have shifted market expectations towards potential interest rate cuts, easing global monetary tightening pressures and opening up domestic monetary policy space for rate cuts and liquidity injections [22][3][23]. - The People's Bank of China has been active in maintaining liquidity through reverse repos and MLF operations, indicating a supportive stance for the bond market [4][23]. Group 5: Bond Market Strategy - Current strategies suggest a focus on a "barbell" approach in bond investments, with attention to long-term government bonds and a gradual rebuilding of duration positions as monetary policy space opens up [26][3]. - The average duration of bond funds has been adjusted downwards, indicating a shift in strategy as institutions respond to market conditions [50][3].
