1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current stock - bond state may be what the authorities desire, namely "a slow - bull in stocks and no continuous sharp decline in bonds." The monetary authorities maintain liquidity but avoid rapid policy rate cuts, using more structural tools and supporting the real estate market. This encourages the transfer of funds from real estate and bonds to equities, achieving a slow - bull in stocks and preventing continuous sharp declines in bonds and real estate to ensure financial stability [1][88]. - In September, the stock - bond state is likely to remain unchanged, and the headwind period for the bond market may not be over. The 10 - year Treasury yield has two pressure levels: 1.80% and 1.90%. Currently, it hovers around 1.78%. Short - term bond market operations may require patience, with more focus on band - trading during pullbacks. After two major macro - events in September (domestic military parade and Fed's decision on interest rate cuts), the bond market may enter a favorable period in late September and the fourth quarter [2][91]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Current Open Market Analysis - **Macroeconomic Environment**: The economic fundamentals are still "weak." In July, CPI was flat year - on - year, with core CPI rising to 0.8%. PPI's year - on - year decline remained at 3.6%, but the month - on - month decline narrowed. Financial data showed a seasonal decline in social financing, a contraction in credit financing, and a negative increase in new RMB loans for the first time in 20 years. Some economic indicators were divided, and domestic economic recovery was restricted by multiple factors [7][8]. - **Policy Environment**: The Fed's dovish stance is conducive to the implementation of domestic aggregate monetary policy in the fourth quarter. The central bank mainly uses structural policies and guides funds through a two - step allocation: in asset allocation, it guides funds from bonds to stocks; in economic development, it focuses on consumption, infrastructure, and real estate in sequence. If three of the four conditions are met, the probability of a domestic central bank's comprehensive interest rate cut is high, and currently, three conditions are gradually being met [24][27]. - **Bank Funding**: The bank funding situation has been relatively loose since July, with a slight reduction in net central bank money injection in July compared to June. As of August 14, the central bank's money withdrawal was 43,530 billion yuan, and the injection was 17,265 billion yuan. The 7 - day reverse repurchase rate remained stable at 1.40%, and market interest rates such as DR007 and FR007 showed a downward trend [28][31]. - **Corporate Profit and Financing Environment**: From January to July 2025, the total profit of industrial enterprises above the designated size continued to decline year - on - year, but the decline narrowed. The manufacturing PMI in July was 49.3%, below the boom - bust line. In July, corporate short - term and long - term loans decreased, and only bill financing increased year - on - year. Overall, industrial profits are still suppressed by price factors, and the financing structure is tilting towards bonds [37]. 3.2 Interest Rate Market Analysis - **Primary Market**: In July, the total issuance of interest - rate bonds was 3.2 trillion yuan, with a net financing of 1.53 trillion yuan. As of August 14, the total issuance was 1.9 trillion yuan. The issuance interest rates of four types of interest - rate bonds (Treasury bonds, local government bonds, policy - bank bonds, and inter - bank certificates of deposit) have shown a trend of convergence since January 2025, with the Treasury bond rate rising by more than 15BP [43]. - **Secondary Market**: From July to August 2025, the short - end interest rates of Treasury bonds remained stable, while the medium - and long - end rates generally increased, making the yield curve steeper. In July, the 10 - year Treasury yield rose from 1.65% to 1.70%, and in August, it fluctuated between 1.70% - 1.79%. The trend of China Development Bank bonds was different from that of Treasury bonds, and the spread between them widened [48][53]. 3.3 Credit Market Analysis - **Primary Market**: In July, the net financing of credit bonds was strong, with a net financing of 3,519 billion yuan. As of August 14, the issuance scale was 6,364.05 billion yuan, and the repayment amount increased to 8,742 billion yuan. The weighted average issuance interest rate of credit bonds in July was 1.91%, down 30BP year - on - year [67]. - **Secondary Market**: As of August 14, the yields of AAA - rated corporate bonds of various maturities declined, with the long - end decline being greater. Credit spreads continued to converge, and the spreads between AA and AAA - rated corporate bonds also narrowed [73]. - **Real Estate Bonds**: In July, the net financing of real estate bonds turned positive, with a net financing of 44 billion yuan. As of August 14, the net financing was negative. The transaction volume of commercial housing has been at a low level in the past five years, and as of August 9, the average weekly transaction area of commercial housing in 30 large and medium - sized cities decreased by 13.31% year - on - year [78][81]. - **Urban Investment Bonds**: In July 2025, the net financing of urban investment bonds was - 423 billion yuan, remaining at a historical low. This reflects the pressure on the financing environment of urban investment platforms and the acceleration of their transformation process [85]. 3.4 September Bond Market Strategy - The current stock - bond state is expected to continue in September. The bond market may still face headwinds, with 1.80% and 1.90% as two pressure levels for the 10 - year Treasury yield. Short - term bond market operations should focus on band - trading during pullbacks, and the bond market may improve after two major macro - events in September [2][91].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since the launch of the pilot green foreign - debt business in 16 provinces and cities, there may be a window period for the issuance of urban investment overseas bonds. In 2025, the issuance of urban investment dim - sum bonds decreased significantly, while the issuance of US - dollar bonds increased slightly. The net financing of overseas bonds varies by region, and some regions face large future maturity scales. For overseas bonds maturing before 2027, investors can consider moderately lowering the regional selection criteria, and for high - quality credit entities, they can consider moderately extending the bond duration. Additionally, investors should focus on bond liquidity and credit enhancement [3][10][37]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Issuance Situation - **Dim - sum Bonds**: In 2025, the issuance volume of dim - sum bonds decreased significantly. From January to August, only about 70 billion yuan was issued, much lower than the same period in 2023 and 2024. Henan had a relatively large increase in issuance this year, and the issuers were mainly medium - to high - rated entities. The issuance term was mainly 2 - 3 years, and the issuance volume in the 6% - 7% coupon rate range increased significantly, with the overall issuance cost rising [11][12][15]. - **US - dollar Bonds**: In 2025, Fujian had a relatively large increase in issuance. AA+ and AAA entities were the main issuers, indicating that investors had higher requirements for the qualifications of the issuer or guarantor. The issuance term was also mainly 2 - 3 years, and the issuance cost decreased, as the issuance volume in the 4% - 5% coupon rate range increased this year, while that in the 5% - 7% range decreased year - on - year [19][21][22]. 3.2 Maturity Situation - **Net Financing**: The net financing of urban investment overseas bonds varies by region. From January to July 2025, Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces had relatively large net financing, while Zhejiang had a large net repayment. This difference may be the result of different regions balancing short - term debt - servicing pressure and medium - to long - term debt resolution tasks [25][28]. - **Future Maturity**: Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Jiangsu have relatively large future maturity scales of urban investment overseas bonds. For dim - sum bonds, after September 2025, the maturity debt is mainly concentrated in November and December, and from 2026 onwards, it is concentrated in 2026 - 2027. For US - dollar bonds, after September 2025, the maturity debt is evenly distributed in the remaining months, and from 2026 onwards, it is concentrated in 2026 - 2028 [29][32]. 3.3 Future Outlook - **Regional and Duration Strategy**: For overseas bonds maturing before 2027, investors can moderately lower the regional selection criteria; for high - quality credit entities, they can moderately extend the bond duration. This is due to the successful attempt of domestic bond replacement of overseas bonds in Kunming and the ongoing attempt in Chongqing, the "asset shortage" faced by overseas investors, and the expected easing of overseas liquidity with the Fed's expected interest - rate cuts [37]. - **Focus on Liquidity and Credit Enhancement**: Investors with high safety requirements should choose bonds with better liquidity. In terms of credit enhancement, a filing letter of credit has the highest guarantee effectiveness, followed by parent - company guarantee and then a keep - well agreement. Bonds guaranteed by AAA entities can strike a balance between safety and return. For investors seeking higher returns, they can further lower the credit rating and administrative level of the guaranteeing entity [40][41].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - Standing at the end of August and looking forward to September, investors are confused about the general direction of the bond market. The bullish sentiment has decreased, and operations have become more prudent. The capital market and the equity market are the core concerns of investors, and the preference for local bonds, high - grade urban investment bonds, and perpetual bonds has marginally weakened [1]. - Four mainstream expectations for the September bond market: concentrated expectations for the upper and lower limits of long - term treasury bond yields; decreased bullish sentiment in the bond market, more cautious operations, and an upward - moving interest rate oscillation center; changed overall expectations for the August economy, with increased expectations for reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts; consistent preference for medium - and short - term interest - rate bonds and increased preference for convertible bonds [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 1. Investor Expectations are Divergent and Behavior is More Prudent - **Survey Overview**: A bond market questionnaire was released on August 26, 2025, and 114 valid questionnaires were received by August 28, covering various institutional and individual investors [9]. - **Long - term Treasury Bond Yield Expectations** - **10 - year Treasury Bonds**: 85% of investors think the lower limit of the 10 - year treasury bond yield is likely to be in the 1.65% - 1.75% range, and 51% think the upper limit is likely to be in the 1.80% - 1.85% range. Investors' expectations for an increase in the 10 - year treasury bond interest rate are gradually rising [11]. - **30 - year Treasury Bonds**: 41% of investors think the lower limit of the 30 - year treasury bond yield is likely to be in the 1.90% - 1.95% range, and 44% think the upper limit is likely to be in the 2.05% - 2.10% range. Investors are cautious about the potential further increase in the 30 - year treasury bond yield [13]. - **Economic Outlook for August**: Investor responses were relatively evenly distributed. 29% think the economy in August will show a "both year - on - year and month - on - month weakening" performance. Pessimistic expectations have decreased from 31% to 29% [15][17]. - **Expectations for Reserve Requirement Ratio Cuts and Interest Rate Cuts**: 42% of investors think there will be no further reserve requirement ratio cuts this year, and 46% think there will be no interest rate cuts. Most investors tend to postpone potential reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts to a more distant policy window [20]. - **Impact of the Equity Market on the Bond Market**: 70% of investors think the recent strengthening of the equity market will strengthen the stock - bond seesaw effect and suppress the bond market. However, some investors think the impact is short - term [24]. - **September Bond Market Outlook**: Investor expectations for the bond market are divergent. The proportions of investors expecting the bond market to "strengthen overall with a bull - flattened yield curve" and "weaken overall with a bear - steepened yield curve" are both 23%. The preference for the short - end has also decreased [25]. - **Bond Market Operations**: In September, most investors are neutral in practice. Holding cash and waiting is the mainstream view, with a marginal increase in the proportion of investors maintaining positions and taking profits [28]. - **Preferred Bond Types**: In August, investors maintained their positions in medium - and short - term interest - rate bonds and increased their preference for convertible bonds. The preference for local bonds, high - grade urban investment bonds, and perpetual bonds decreased slightly [30]. - **Main Bond Pricing Logic**: Monetary policy, capital market conditions, and the performance of the equity market are the core concerns of bond investors. This month, the attention to the equity market has increased significantly, while the attention to institutional behavior games and fiscal policy has decreased [32].

Core Viewpoint - The credit bond market is undergoing a significant adjustment, characterized by a "catch-up" decline, with heightened bearish sentiment being released [1][2]. Group 1: Market Trends - The credit bond market has entered a "catch-up" phase, with a notable increase in issuance costs across various credit ratings. For instance, the average coupon rates for AAA and AA+ rated bonds rose to 2.23% and 2.59%, respectively, marking increases of 10 basis points and 13 basis points compared to the previous week [2]. - The liquidity of credit bonds has further declined, with turnover rates decreasing by 0.09 percentage points to 1.64% [2]. - Despite the current bearish sentiment, analysts suggest that the market's configuration demand remains, and there are opportunities to reallocate into credit bonds after the recent declines [1][2]. Group 2: Institutional Behavior - Institutional actions have exacerbated the current market adjustment, with mid-to-long-term pure bond funds experiencing significant net value declines, triggering redemption signals [3]. - While funds have been selling off credit bonds, wealth management and insurance funds have continued to net buy credit bonds, with a total net purchase of 540.15 billion yuan in credit bonds, particularly favoring short-term bonds [3]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts maintain a cautious but not overly pessimistic view on the credit bond market, suggesting that the current downturn is a phase of adjustment rather than a trend reversal [3]. - Recommendations for future investment strategies include focusing on high-yield assets with maturities of two years or less, as these are less affected by the current market adjustments and offer better defensive value [5]. - The market is expected to experience fluctuations due to the "stock-bond seesaw" effect, but there are still opportunities for structural accumulation in the credit bond market [5].

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the bond market and its influencing factors, focusing on macroeconomic conditions, monetary policy, and institutional investor behavior. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Determinants of Bond Market Pricing** - The fundamental factors, including price and growth, are decisive for bond market pricing. Monetary policy influences the bond market through liquidity transmission, affecting medium to long-term bonds, while short-term bonds are impacted by monetary conditions and policy implementation [1][2][4]. 2. **Shift in Investment Logic** - In a low-interest-rate environment, public funds have increased their purchases of long-term government bonds, with the proportion of bonds with maturities over ten years rising to approximately 40%. This shift indicates a change in investment logic from coupon income to capital gains [1][5][3]. 3. **Impact of Liquidity and Risk Preference** - The bond market is increasingly sensitive to marginal changes in liquidity and risk preference. For instance, significant liquidity tightening in 2013 led to a substantial adjustment in the bond market, despite the fundamental conditions not being negative [2][6][8]. 4. **Interest Rate Cuts and Their Effects** - Interest rate cuts do not always favor the bond market. A distinction must be made between narrow and broad liquidity. Lowering the Open Market Operation (OMO) rate typically benefits the bond market, while a reduction in the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) may favor the real economy but negatively impact the bond market [9][4]. 5. **Trade Friction and External Market Influences** - Trade friction primarily affects the bond market through risk preference and sentiment disturbances. The impact of external market changes has become more pronounced, especially since the onset of the US-China trade tensions [11][12]. 6. **Economic Indicators and Monetary Policy** - Current economic indicators, such as GDP growth below the annual target of 5% and inflation entering a turning point, are crucial for assessing the relationship between monetary policy and fundamentals. Monitoring inflation, real estate, and PMI is essential for understanding market dynamics [14][15]. 7. **Institutional Investor Behavior** - The behavior of institutional investors has become increasingly significant in the bond market, with a focus on regulatory changes and the characteristics of bond allocation among different types of institutions [21][22]. 8. **Future of Central Bank Bond Purchases** - The resumption of central bank bond purchases is anticipated as a common regulatory approach to inject base currency into the economy. However, this will depend on a refined bond purchase mechanism to avoid excessive short-term impacts on the bond market [17][18]. Other Important but Potentially Overlooked Content 1. **Historical Context of Economic Indicators** - Historical analysis shows that inflation data, particularly CPI, had a significant impact on the bond market before 2008, while PPI became more influential during the 2008-2016 period. The relationship between nominal GDP growth and ten-year government bond yields has also been highlighted [7][26]. 2. **Seasonal Analysis of the Bond Market** - Seasonal analysis indicates that policy and institutional behavior exhibit strong seasonality, which can aid investors in making informed decisions. The bond market is expected to follow a three-step approach in the latter half of the year, with varying strength across different months [23]. 3. **Changes in Financing Methods** - The shift from indirect investment dominated by bank credit to direct investment has significant implications for investment patterns. The focus has shifted to social financing as a key indicator of market health [55]. 4. **Current Monetary Policy Framework Changes** - Recent reforms in the monetary policy framework emphasize a transition from quantity-based to price-based control, reflecting a more nuanced approach to managing liquidity and interest rates [53][54]. 5. **Analysis of Institutional Behavior** - Understanding institutional behavior requires a multi-layered approach, considering regulatory impacts, total bond market allocation, and market data tracking to gauge overall market conditions [21]. This summary encapsulates the essential insights and arguments presented in the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the bond market's current state and future outlook.
