1. Report Industry Investment Rating - This section is not provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Q4 credit spreads may continue to fluctuate and adjust, with greater potential pressure on the long - end [7]. - It is recommended to control duration for credit bonds, and short - end sinking and carry strategies are preferable [7]. - For financial bonds, pay attention to participation opportunities in new - bond price discovery, and the trading difficulty of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds is increasing [7]. - For general credit bonds, use short - duration as a shield and coupon as a spear to find structural opportunities [7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Q3 Review: Supply Weak, Credit Follow - up Adjustment, Short - end Superior 3.1.1 Primary Market - In 2025Q3, the issuance and net supply of traditional credit bonds decreased slightly. The issuance and net financing of industrial bonds decreased, while those of urban investment bonds increased. The issuance and net financing of bank Tier 2 and perpetual bonds decreased significantly, and the net financing of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds turned negative [15][20]. 3.1.2 Secondary Market - In Q3, credit bonds followed the adjustment of interest - rate bonds but did not over - adjust. The short - end performed better than the long - end. Yields generally increased, credit spreads at the 1 - year term narrowed, and those at the medium - and long - terms generally widened. Short - end rating spreads mostly widened, and medium - and long - end spreads narrowed. Term spreads generally widened, and the holding - period yield of the 1 - year term remained positive [25][28][36]. 3.2 How to Evaluate the Spread Pricing of Various Products after the New VAT Regulations? 3.2.1 Impact of ChinaBond Valuation on Spread Calculation - Since August 8, 2025, the restoration of VAT on the interest income of government bonds, local bonds, and financial bonds has different impacts on different institutions. The impact order is financial institutions' self - operation > public funds > other asset management products > qualified overseas investors [43]. - The compilation arrangement of ChinaBond bond valuation and yield curve during the transition period may affect the calculation results of credit spreads and term spreads [47]. 3.2.2 Credit Spreads - When new government - development bonds are issued, the credit spread center of general credit bonds may shift downward systematically, and the situation of financial bonds may be more complex. To eliminate the impact of VAT, adjustments can be made through the new - old bond spread of financial bonds [51][54]. 3.2.3 Term Spreads - When new financial bonds are issued, the term spread center of the corresponding new - issue term may increase in the short term and remain at a high level. To eliminate the impact of VAT, adjustments can be made through the new - old bond spread of financial bonds [57]. 3.3 Perspective of Institutional Behavior: Pay Attention to the Impact of Chip Switching on the Credit Bond Market 3.3.1 Public Funds - Due to the comparison of various asset classes and the new public fund fee regulations, the liability side of off - exchange bond funds faces significant challenges. The stock growth rate and proportion of bond - type funds have declined since July 2025, and funds may flow to bond ETFs, wealth management products, and special - account entrusted products. The demand structure of credit bonds may be reshaped [69][72]. 3.3.2 Wealth Management Products - Near the end - of - year regulatory deadline for net - value smoothing rectification, wealth management products face greater valuation fluctuations and may be more cautious in bond - allocation behavior. Although their liquidity management ability has been enhanced, the real liquidity of credit bond ETFs may not meet their needs. In the short term, the expansion of wealth management scale faces pressure, but in the long term, the new public fund fee regulations may be beneficial to the expansion of wealth management scale [5]. 3.3.3 Changes in Credit Bond Allocation Behavior of Various Institutions - Recently, the chip - switching feature of credit bonds is obvious. The buying power of public funds has weakened, while wealth management products have become a stabilizer for credit bonds. Insurance has stronger demand support, and rural commercial banks prefer general credit bonds. Long - term credit may face re - pricing [5]. 3.4 Q4 Outlook: Pressure Remains, Short - end as Shield and Coupon as Spear - Credit spreads may continue to fluctuate and adjust in Q4, with greater potential pressure on the long - end. It is recommended to control duration, and short - end sinking and carry strategies are preferable. For financial bonds, pay attention to new - bond price discovery opportunities, and be cautious about Tier 2 and perpetual bonds. For general credit bonds, look for structural opportunities in the primary market, urban investment bonds, high - grade private and perpetual bonds, and based on credit bond ETFs [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market adjusted until late September, and the cost - effectiveness of coupon assets continued to increase. A repair market started around the National Day holiday, but there was a significant term differentiation, with short - duration assets being more favored [5][10][34]. - The current proportion of ordinary credit bonds with valuations in the 2.2% - 2.6% range is relatively high, offering a wide selection [5][34]. - The strategy should prioritize liquidity. There are some opportunities to participate in 3 - 5 - year bank secondary capital bonds after adjustment. Also, considering the curve steepness, it is advisable to continue participating in the sinking of weak - quality urban investment bonds with a 1 - 3 - year term. For ultra - long - term bonds, although the yield cost - effectiveness has increased after adjustment, the recent market is highly uncertain, and the ultra - long - duration strategy may only be suitable for some allocation investors [5][34]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Bond Market Performance - **Overall Repair and Term Differentiation**: The bond market experienced continuous adjustment in September, and the repair market started around the National Day holiday. The short - end of credit bonds had a stronger repair, while ultra - long - term credit bonds had a weaker repair, with some varieties still adjusting and performing worse than the same - term interest - rate bonds [10][12][34]. - **Yield Changes**: From September 28 to October 11, 2025, the yields of 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, and 5Y national bonds decreased by 1.3BP, 3.0BP, 3.7BP, 4.0BP, and 4.4BP respectively. The yields of the same - term AAA medium - term notes decreased by 7.7BP, 5.7BP, 4.2BP, 3.0BP, and 4.4BP respectively, and the yields of AA + medium - term notes decreased by 5.7BP, 2.7BP, 2.2BP, 1.0BP, and 1.4BP respectively [10][11]. - **Curve Shape**: The steepness of the 1 - 2 - year and 2 - 3 - year periods for all ratings was the highest, and the steepness of the 3 - 5 - year period for low - rated bonds was also relatively high, showing a certain bear - steepening characteristic [14]. - **Historical Quantiles**: Currently, 2 - 3Y, especially around 3Y, coupon assets have certain cost - effectiveness after adjustment. The valuation yields to maturity of 1Y - AAA, 3Y - AAA, 5Y - AAA, 1Y - AA +, 3Y - AA +, 5Y - AA +, 1Y - AA, and 3Y - AA ChinaBond medium - short - term notes from September 28 to October 11, 2025, were at the 23.87%, 40.54%, 49.54%, 25.22%, 39.63%, 46.84%, 28.15%, and 38.73% levels since 2024. The historical quantiles of the 1Y - AAA, 3Y - AAA, 5Y - AAA, 1Y - AA +, 3Y - AA +, 5Y - AA +, 1Y - AA, and 3Y - AA credit spreads were 1.12%, 34.98%, 74.04%, 2.25%, 31.37%, 56.43%, 13.54%, and 29.79% respectively, indicating that the cost - effectiveness around 3Y was relatively high [16]. 3.2 Perpetual and Subordinated Bonds (Er Yong Bonds) - **Market Characteristics**: The market of Er Yong bonds was strongly synchronized, with an obvious "volatility amplifier" characteristic. The repair degree of 1Y - 5Y was higher than that of ordinary credit bonds, but the market for ultra - long - term bonds was poor and continued to weaken [3][18]. - **Yield Changes**: The yields of 1 - 5 - year, 7 - year, and 10 - year AAA - bank secondary capital bonds decreased by 7.89BP, 10.18BP, 10.93BP, 11.20BP, 7.25BP, 3.84BP, and increased by 6.69BP respectively. Currently, the part of the curve above 3 years was still 30BP - 62BP away from the lowest yield point since 2025. Compared with the sharp decline at the end of July, the yield points above 3 years had broken through new highs, and the adjustment amplitude was higher than that of the sharp decline at the end of July [18]. 3.3 Institutional Behavior - **Trading and Allocation**: Public funds and other trading desks continued to sell credit bonds, while wealth management, insurance, and other allocation desks moderately bought on dips, but the incremental purchases were limited, and the overall demand was weak [4][26]. - **Public Funds**: Since mid - August, public funds have sold 3 - 5 - year secondary capital bonds worth 47 billion yuan, with a much higher selling intensity than in previous years [4][27]. - **Wealth Management**: Since August, the weekly net purchase scale of ordinary credit bonds by bank wealth management has remained stable, and the weekly change in the stock scale of wealth management has also been small, indicating that the liability side of wealth management has been relatively stable during this adjustment, but the incremental allocation demand is also weak [4][27]. - **Insurance Funds**: Since August, insurance funds have continued to buy on dips, with a relatively high increase in ordinary credit bonds, reaching 70.8 billion yuan from August to the present. However, since it is not the peak allocation period, and the strengthening of equity assets has also suppressed the preference of insurance funds for fixed - income assets to some extent, the overall allocation demand is not strong [4][27]. - **Credit Bond ETFs**: The performance of credit bond ETFs has been below expectations. The scale and net value of credit market - making ETFs have declined significantly. For science - innovation ETFs, the listing of the second batch of products in late September provided a short - term boost to the overall market, but the sustainability was weak [4][28].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current credit bond market is generally stable but lacks a clear direction, in a transitional phase where negative factors are gradually digested and positive factors are not fully priced. Key policy variables such as the reform of fund redemption fees have not been implemented, restricting the improvement of risk appetite. [2][6] - Looking ahead, the market will mainly feature structural opportunities, and it is difficult to see a trending market. Policy variables, such as whether the central bank restarts bond - buying and the timing of the implementation of the new fund regulations, will directly determine the pricing direction. [2][7][8] - It is recommended that investors adopt a prudent allocation strategy, focusing on the coupon income and defensive value of medium - to high - grade medium - and short - term credit bonds, which have a "safety margin." At the same time, they should closely monitor policy progress and risk events such as tariff issues and flexibly adjust positions to prevent fluctuations. Long - term credit can wait for the right - side opportunity after the over - adjustment when uncertainties are cleared. [2][6][7] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Credit Bond Market in the Transitional Phase - From October 9th to October 12th, the credit bond market continued the adjustment trend since September. After continuous adjustment, negative factors in the market have been relatively fully priced, and the risk of a further sharp decline is controllable. The market is not short of positive factors, but the signals have not been fully valued and priced. [7] - Recently, the credit bond market has been affected by multiple factors, including the long - term restructuring pressure on the bond outsourcing investment structure caused by the redemption fee regulations draft issued by the CSRC, the strong performance of equity assets diverting bond allocation demand, and the incomplete clearance of potential redemption pressure, especially the local pressure on the liability side of wealth management and funds. [7] - This week, the yield fluctuations of credit bonds intensified. One - year - or less short - duration credit bonds became relatively stable, with faster yield recovery, while the credit spreads of long - duration assets further increased. [7] 3.2 Policy Variables Determine Market Direction - The core contradiction in the bond market in October still focuses on policy variables, including whether the central bank restarts bond - buying and the timing of the implementation of the new fund fee regulations. These factors will directly determine the pricing direction of credit bonds. [7][8] - If the central bank restarts bond - buying, it will release a signal of loose money, which is conducive to boosting the overall sentiment of the bond market, especially supporting interest - rate bonds and driving the narrowing of credit spreads. It is expected that the probability of the central bank restarting bond - buying in October is relatively high. [8] - If the new fund regulations are implemented, they may impact the scale of bond funds. Bonds preferred by funds, such as policy - financial bonds, secondary - tier two bonds, and ultra - long - term credit bonds, may be the first to be affected. Policy uncertainties will magnify the differentiation in terms and ratings. Medium - and short - term high - grade bonds are relatively resistant to decline and have a "safety margin," while long - duration weak - quality bonds may face greater fluctuations. [8] 3.3 Yield and Spread Overview - **Each term's yield and its change**: The yields of various bonds such as treasury bonds, policy - bank bonds, and local government bonds showed different degrees of changes compared to last week, with different historical quantiles. For example, the 0.5 - year treasury bond yield was 1.39%, down 1.2bp from last week, and its historical quantile was 10.7%. [15] - **Each term's spread and its change**: The credit spreads of various bonds also changed, and the historical quantiles varied. For instance, the 0.5 - year credit spread of public non - perpetual urban investment bonds was 17bp, down 3.9bp from last week, and its historical quantile was 4.0%. [17] 3.4 Credit Bond Yield and Spread by Category (Hermite Algorithm) - **Urban investment bonds by region**: The yields and spreads of urban investment bonds in different regions showed different trends. For example, in Anhui, the 0.5 - year yield of public non - perpetual urban investment bonds was 1.82%, down 5.19bp from last week, and the 0.5 - year credit spread was 29.30bp, down 4.8bp from last week. [21][24] - **Yield and spread by implicit rating**: The yields and spreads of urban investment bonds with different implicit ratings also had distinct changes. For example, in Anhui, the yield of AAA - rated public non - perpetual urban investment bonds was 1.82%, down 0.9bp from last week, and the credit spread was 19.74bp, down 0.58bp from last week. [28][33] - **Yield and spread by administrative level**: The yields and spreads of urban investment bonds at different administrative levels showed different characteristics. For example, in Anhui, the yield of provincial - level public non - perpetual urban investment bonds was 1.81%, down 3.16bp from last week. [38]

Core Viewpoint - The bond futures market has experienced fluctuations driven by policy expectations and risk aversion, with significant performance in the 10-year and 30-year bonds [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - Since September, the bond futures market has gone through a cycle of "volatile decline → rebound driven by policy expectations → increase driven by risk aversion" [1] - The 30-year bond futures contract hit a six-month low on September 24, while the 10-year bond futures fluctuated around 107.7 yuan [1] - After the National Day holiday, a relaxed funding environment helped the bond market recover, with the 10-year bond yield dropping by 3.2 basis points to 1.743%, marking a new low for the period [1] Group 2: Trade Tensions Impact - The escalation of trade tensions has introduced new shocks to the market, with "TACO trading" being the main theme prior to late September [2] - Historical patterns indicate that trade tensions affect the real economy primarily through inventory cycles, with U.S. importers stockpiling goods before new tariffs take effect [2] - The Nasdaq Composite Index's price-to-earnings ratio has increased from 24 times in April to 31 times currently, suggesting a higher likelihood of market volatility [2] Group 3: Domestic Asset Allocation - The logic of under-allocation in domestic assets continues, with expectations of seasonal declines in credit issuance as the "golden September and silver October" peak season passes [3] - The insurance industry is projected to generate over 3 trillion yuan in new premiums by 2025, creating a rigid allocation gap for long-term bonds [3] - The expectation of the inclusion of Chinese government bonds in global indices may lead to a cessation of foreign capital reduction, prompting increased allocation to government and local bonds, particularly 30-year and 50-year bonds [3] Group 4: Monetary Policy Outlook - The central bank is expected to maintain a moderately loose monetary policy, with a projected 0.5 percentage point reserve requirement ratio cut in the fourth quarter to support economic growth [3] - The central bank will utilize open market operations and other tools to ensure ample liquidity, with the DR007 rate likely to remain between 1.5% and 1.6% [3] - A downward testing of the 10-year bond yield towards 1.70% is possible if credit expansion remains weak, with the policy mix potentially shifting to a "loose + hedging" model [3]

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records primarily discuss the bond market dynamics in the context of current economic conditions, particularly focusing on interest rates and trade tensions affecting the market [1][2][3]. Core Insights and Arguments - The bond market is currently experiencing a general upward trend, but the profit-making effect is not significant due to inflation expectations and the performance of the equity market [1][2]. - A monetary policy easing or unexpected events, such as escalated trade tensions or domestic economic weakness, are necessary to break the current stagnation in profit-making [1][2]. - The market has minimal implied expectations for easing, and any rate cuts could help lower interest rates further. The 10-year government bond yield is currently around 1.75%, with potential to drop to 1.6% only with supportive easing measures [1][2][3]. - The fourth quarter is expected to have a more relaxed tone compared to the third quarter, with a model indicating a bullish outlook starting from October 10, with an 85% success rate [3]. - The funding environment post-National Day is expected to remain comfortable, with a 7-day funding level around 1.4% and low government issuance, leading to a higher probability of maintaining a loose funding level [4]. Important but Overlooked Content - The value of certificates of deposit (CDs) is highlighted, with a recommendation to focus on 6-month CDs over 1-year CDs for better returns, while 1-year CDs are suggested for those looking to extend duration [4]. - The bond market's strategy needs to consider the historical context of trade tensions, as past increases in tariffs led to rapid declines in bond yields, but the current situation may differ due to various influencing factors [2][5]. - The spread between 30-year local government bonds and 30-year government bonds is approximately 18 basis points, indicating strong allocation value for local government bonds [2][6]. - The records suggest a flexible investment strategy, recommending a barbell approach for potential gains while maintaining a bullet strategy for fixed positions in credit bonds [8]. - The liquidity of the 10-year government bonds is noted, with specific recommendations to observe the impact of new redemption fee regulations on trading strategies [9][10]. Investment Recommendations - Investors are advised to focus on local government bonds, particularly from regions like Zhejiang and Hunan, due to their favorable yield spreads and absolute returns [6][7]. - The records suggest monitoring the 5-7 year government bonds for better value and potential investment opportunities in the context of changing market conditions [14]. - The 50-year government bonds are considered to have investment value, but their attractiveness is limited by the performance of 30-year bonds, which currently dominate the market [13]. This summary encapsulates the key points from the conference call records, providing insights into the bond market's current state, strategic recommendations, and potential investment opportunities.
