The market scale is shrinking rapidly, and the supply - demand contradiction is significant. Investors are advised to focus on individual bonds rather than the index, increase tolerance for the price range of convertible bonds, and consider balanced convertible bonds with strong underlying stocks and partial - equity convertible bonds that will not be redeemed in the short term in line with policy directions [1][2][9]. - The median price of convertible bonds is 125.68 yuan, the median parity is 99.42 yuan, and the median conversion premium rate is 26%. The valuations of all types of convertible bonds have increased in the past two weeks. The cost - effectiveness of convertible bonds has declined marginally in cross - asset comparisons, but due to the "asset shortage" in the market, institutional attention to convertible bonds remains high [2][7]. - The supply of convertible bonds accelerated in the second quarter, with 10 issues listed, totaling about 13.76 billion yuan. Six convertible bonds have been listed in July, with a scale of about 4.35 billion yuan, a faster pace than in 2024. From April to July, 7 convertible bonds matured and 25 were forcibly redeemed, with a total exit scale of over 40 billion yuan. Another 50 billion yuan of convertible bonds will mature from August to December. The short - term supply supplement is still limited [2][8]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 1. Convertible Bond Weekly Thinking - The equity market reached 3500 last week, driving the convertible bond index to a new high. The median price of convertible bonds has reached 125 yuan, an all - time high. The willingness to force redemption increased in July, capping the theoretical price of convertible bonds [7]. - The price and valuation of convertible bonds are both high, and their future trend depends on the equity market. If the equity market rises, convertible bonds may follow but with limited space; if it moves sideways, funds may realize profits; if it declines, convertible bonds may be relatively resistant to decline [2][7]. - The market scale of convertible bonds is shrinking rapidly, and the supply - demand contradiction is prominent. Although the number of new issuance plans has increased and the approval process seems to be accelerating, the current stock of planned convertible bonds is still limited, and the issuance of mainstream varieties such as bank convertible bonds is restricted by new refinancing regulations [2][8]. - Given the high median price of convertible bonds, investors are advised to focus on individual bonds. Balanced convertible bonds with strong underlying stocks and partial - equity convertible bonds that will not be redeemed in the short term can provide trading opportunities. If opportunities are limited, investors can consider adjusting their positions from high - priced to low - priced bonds [2][9]. 3.2 2.
