Core Viewpoint - The recent divergence in central banks' attitudes towards gold purchases is a significant factor influencing international gold prices, which are currently fluctuating around $4,000 per ounce. This reflects a broader trend of diversifying reserve assets globally [1][2]. Group 1: Central Bank Actions - The Bank of Korea has signaled plans to increase its gold reserves for the first time in 12 years, indicating a shift in its long-term strategy towards gold accumulation [2][3]. - In contrast, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Philippine central bank) is considering selling excess gold reserves, as the demand for gold as a safe haven has decreased. Currently, gold constitutes 13% of its international reserves, which is higher than most Asian countries [2][3]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The Philippines initially purchased gold at approximately $2,000 per ounce, and with current prices nearing double that, the central bank sees an opportunity to realize profits [3]. - Different central banks are making varied decisions based on their assessments of gold price trends and their own reserve situations, reflecting a broader market behavior where both buying and selling occur simultaneously [3]. Group 3: Reserve Asset Diversification - The trend of diversifying reserve assets is accelerating, particularly as the dominance of the US dollar as a reserve currency is waning. Central banks are increasingly looking to gold as a stable reserve asset [4]. - Data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows a decline in the dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves from 57.79% to 56.32%, indicating a shift towards a more multipolar reserve currency system [4]. - Despite a slowdown in the pace of gold purchases this year, central banks continue to acquire gold, with a net purchase of 220 tons in the third quarter, up 28% from the previous quarter [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - China's regulatory system for financial institutions' investment in funds has evolved from initial shadow banking rectification to unified penetration supervision. The current regulatory logic for funds as an important vehicle for institutional investment SPVs is "penetration supervision, risk provisioning, de - nesting, and de - arbitrage" [3]. - Different financial institutions have different motivations and strategies for investing in bond funds. Banks focus on capital conservation and liquidity management, bank wealth management aims at asset allocation and liquidity management, and insurance funds seek to optimize income structure, match assets and liabilities, improve tax efficiency, and supplement investment research [4]. - The regulatory framework and reforms influence institutional investment and bond fund design. Institutions generally prefer bond funds with transparent underlying assets, high liquidity, and low leverage. Customized special accounts and "customized bond funds" are becoming mainstream, and index bond funds have the potential to become the mainstream of allocation [5]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Historical Review: From Separate and Fragmented to Unified Penetration - **2008 - 2012**: Shadow banking issues emerged. The CBRC issued relevant documents to require the return of silver - trust cooperation assets to the balance sheet and prohibited certain bank wealth management product investments. The CSRC included private funds in the regulatory framework and made requirements for collective asset management plans [11]. - **2013 - 2016**: With the prevalence of non - standard assets and bond leverage, the CBRC set concentration regulatory indicators for non - standard asset investment in wealth management, and the central bank and other regulatory authorities unified the definition and supervision scope of inter - bank business, requiring penetration of underlying assets and capital provisioning [12]. - **2017 - 2021**: The implementation of the "Asset Management New Regulations" marked the entry of the large asset management industry into the era of unified penetration supervision, establishing unified regulatory standards and risk measurement frameworks. During the transition and improvement period from 2019 - 2021, the focus was on supporting detailed rules and stock rectification [14]. - **2022 - 2025**: The regulatory legal system was finalized, and a new asset management ecosystem was initially established. A general regulatory framework for funds as institutional investment SPVs was built [17]. 3.2 Regulatory Framework: Systemic Review of Various Financial Institutions' Investment in Bond Funds - **Bank Self - Operation**: The core logic for banks to allocate bond funds is the tax - exemption effect and liquidity management advantages. The "Capital New Regulations" require banks to penetrate and identify underlying assets and calculate capital according to different methods. Banks generally prefer bond funds with transparent underlying assets, low leverage, and few nesting levels. Different types of bond funds have different allocation logics for banks [19]. - **Bank Wealth Management**: After the implementation of the asset management new regulations, the proportion of bank wealth management funds allocated to public funds has increased. The motivations for investment include asset allocation, liquidity management, and supplementing investment research capabilities. There are regulatory requirements for investment scope, penetration, risk isolation, concentration, and leverage [28]. - **Insurance Funds**: The reasons for insurance funds to invest in bond funds include optimizing income structure, matching assets and liabilities, improving tax efficiency, and supplementing investment research. Insurance funds need to comply with multiple regulatory requirements, including penetration supervision, investment management ability requirements, proportion supervision, and concentration management. Bond funds are mainly used as strategic supplementary assets [35]. 3.3 Development Trends: Bond Fund Product Design from the Perspective of the Regulatory Framework - **Bond Fund Product Design**: There are trends of transparency, customization, and passivation. Products with transparent underlying assets are more popular, customized special accounts and "customized bond funds" may become the mainstream of institutional cooperation, and passive index investment presents new opportunities [46]. - **Impact of Regulatory Changes on Institutional Fund Allocation Willingness**: Fee reforms limit the short - term trading space of bond funds and strengthen the long - term investment orientation of institutions. Tax policy adjustments make bond funds relatively more attractive in the short term, but in the medium term, institutions may shift from "investing through funds" to "self - management" [49].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October, the trading sentiment in the bond market recovered, with the interest rate oscillation range significantly lower than in September. Overall, the trading willingness of funds significantly recovered, while allocation players seized the opportunity to exit the market. The potential for a year - end "rush to allocate" seasonal bond market rally is uncertain, and the restoration of allocation players' strength remains doubtful. The high duration of bond funds also poses risks [1][10][45]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 10月：债市修复期，各类机构在买卖什么？ - **Market Situation**: In October, the trading sentiment in the bond market recovered, and the interest rate oscillation range was significantly lower than in September. The main bond market trend remained unclear, and various factors successively affected the market trend, with the interest rate generally maintaining a range - bound oscillation [10]. - **Overall Institutional Behavior**: The trading willingness of funds significantly recovered, with the average daily net purchase of spot bonds turning positive for the first time since July, reaching 176 million yuan. The average daily net selling of rural commercial banks increased from 148 million yuan in September to 253 million yuan. Although insurance and large - scale banks maintained net purchases, their average daily net purchase amounts decreased from 182 million yuan to 143 million yuan and from 193 million yuan to 50 million yuan respectively [10]. 3.1.1 大行：全面加大3Y以内短债净买入力度，平衡持仓久期 - **Reason for Behavior**: After large - scale banks bought long - term treasury bonds and policy - financial bonds in September, they shifted to comprehensively increasing the net purchase of short - term bonds within 3 years in October, possibly to balance the duration of their holdings [16]. - **Specific Buying Behavior**: In October, large - scale banks further strengthened the net purchase of 1 - 3Y old treasury bonds (the average daily net purchase increased to 6.7 billion yuan). They also significantly increased the net purchase of new and old treasury bonds within 1 year and new 1 - 3Y treasury bonds (the average daily net purchase increased to 1.6 billion yuan, 5 billion yuan, and 2.4 billion yuan respectively). The average daily net purchase of 7 - 10Y old treasury bonds and old policy - financial bonds decreased to 400 million yuan and 500 million yuan respectively [17]. - **Purchase Rhythm and Annual Data**: The peak of large - scale banks' net purchase of treasury bonds within 3 years occurred between the 20th and 28th. After the central bank announced it would resume bond - buying, the scale of large - scale banks' net purchase of short - term bonds declined. From January to October this year, large - scale banks' cumulative net purchase of 1 - 3Y treasury bonds was 88.61 billion yuan, exceeding 78.16 billion yuan in the same period last year; the cumulative net purchase of treasury bonds within 1 year also reached 43.55 billion yuan. The central bank's resumption of bond - buying may not necessarily mean that large - scale banks need to replenish their positions on a large scale in the secondary market, and the positive impact on short - term varieties may converge [20]. 3.1.2 农商行和保险：趁修复之际快速持续卖出 - **Rural Commercial Banks**: In October, the net selling of rural commercial banks spread from long - term and ultra - long - term to short - term bonds. The selling pressure on 7 - 10Y policy - financial bonds was the greatest throughout the month. They closely followed the interest rate for "buying high and selling low" operations, with the selling intensity significantly greater than the buying intensity. The average daily net selling of long - term and ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds increased from 90 million yuan in September to 700 million yuan, but the net selling intensity was weaker than in June, another repair period [28]. - **Insurance Companies**: In October, the average daily net selling of 20 - 30Y treasury bonds by insurance companies reached a new high since 2023, with the average daily net selling scale reaching 210 million yuan. The net purchase of 20 - 30Y local government bonds decreased significantly, which is in line with the rule that their purchase volume closely follows the supply volume [33]. 3.1.3 基金：积极参与信用二永票息与国开 - 国债利差策略 - **Seeking Spread Trading Opportunities**: During the previous bond market adjustment, ultra - long - term bonds, Tier 2 capital bonds, and policy - financial bonds favored by funds generally faced significant selling pressure, opening up spread spaces. In October, funds began to seek spread trading opportunities for these bonds. The buying intensity for 7 - 10Y policy - financial bonds and 7 - 10Y other bonds (mainly Tier 2 capital bonds with a remaining maturity of 2 - 5Y) was the strongest, with the total net purchase scale in the month reaching 6.84 billion yuan and 4.54 billion yuan respectively. They remained cautious about ultra - long - term bonds, with the net purchase of treasury bonds over 10 years only at 1.94 billion yuan throughout the month [38]. - **Exploring Short - Term Spread Trading Space**: On October 31, the spot bond data showed that the net purchase of 3 - 5Y policy - financial bonds by funds jumped to 970 million yuan. As the positive impact of the central bank's resumption of bond - buying on short - term treasury bonds weakened, funds may start to explore the spread trading space between short - term policy - financial bonds and treasury bonds [38]. - **Selecting Coupon Assets**: Since there was still no major trend in the bond market, some funds actively selected coupon assets to seek the certainty of coupon income. In October, the total net purchase of credit bonds by funds increased from 1.42 billion yuan in September to 13.26 billion yuan, the highest since July, but still lower than in the second quarter [38]. 3.2 11月：会有年末抢配行情出现吗？ - **Uncertainty of Allocation Players' Restoration**: The restoration of the bond - allocation strength of rural commercial banks and insurance companies is likely to be limited, and the timing for allocation players to enter the market is more focused on quarterly timing. The year - end "rush to allocate" seasonal bond market rally may not reappear this year [46]. - **Uncertainties for Large - Scale Banks**: The potential for large - scale banks to undertake bond purchases faces uncertainties such as liability - side instability, profit - taking demands, and pressure on interest - rate risk indicators. Although the supply of ultra - long - term bonds in the fourth quarter is expected to be lower than in the second and third quarters, and the pressure on interest - rate risk indicators is expected to ease, there are still potential uncertainties, including the large - scale maturity of high - interest time deposits in the fourth quarter, the possible acceleration of credit issuance, and the banks' profit - taking demands in the fourth quarter [47]. - **High Duration Risk of Bond Funds**: The duration of bond funds remains at a historically high level, and their risk - resistance ability is relatively weak. If the official draft of the new regulations on fund sales fees is implemented at the end of the year, or if funds are redeemed by banks and wealth management products for other reasons, there is a possibility of a negative feedback loop due to the concentrated release of duration risk. However, the market currently has limited pricing for this risk, and there may not be many foreseeable negative factors in November. More attention can be paid to whether there will be regulatory and stimulus policy expectations in December [49].
