Core Viewpoint - The bond market has been in a sideways trend for over half a month, with the 10-year treasury yield fluctuating around 1.65% since early April, failing to break below 1.6% [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The uncertainty from tariff impacts and expectations for "rate cuts" have been the main drivers for the previous rapid rise in the bond market [4]. - The ongoing tug-of-war between bullish and bearish sentiments is likely the reason for the recent stability in the bond market [5]. - Bullish views on the bond market are supported by the demand for safe-haven assets due to U.S.-China trade tensions, strong expectations for monetary easing, and a potential slowdown in the recovery of the economic fundamentals [6]. - Bearish views stem from the possibility of the U.S. lifting tariff sanctions, a potential delay in monetary easing, and a recovery in economic fundamentals that exceeds expectations [7]. - Both bullish and bearish perspectives seem to address the same issues but differ in their outlooks and expectations [8]. Group 2: Uncertainty Factors - The bond market continues to face significant uncertainty due to variables such as tariff negotiations, growth stabilization policies, and the timing of monetary easing measures [9]. - Until the situation becomes clearer, the bond market is expected to remain volatile [10]. Group 3: Long-term Investment Perspective - From a long-term perspective, the bond market may still represent an important component of asset allocation despite short-term fluctuations [11]. - The Wind pure bond fund index has shown positive returns every year from 2007 to 2025, with a cumulative increase of 117.94% and an annualized return of 4.42% from 2007 to 2024, indicating stability compared to the stock market [12][15]. - As the domestic economy transitions from high-speed growth to high-quality development, long-term bond yields may continue to decline, presenting ongoing allocation value in bond assets [16]. - However, it is important to note that after a prolonged upward trend, volatility in the bond market may increase, suggesting a need to lower expectations and adopt a "stability-first" approach in response to potential future fluctuations [16].
