Core Viewpoint - The market's expectation for the Federal Reserve to restart the interest rate cut cycle in 2025 is rising, driven by concerns over the U.S. deficit exceeding 6% of GDP and debt repayment pressures, which have led analysts to suggest reducing U.S. Treasury holdings. However, this shift in expectation is now propelling U.S. Treasuries to outperform in the global sovereign bond market, ranking first in yields [1]. Group 1 - In 2025, the return rate of U.S. Treasuries, measured in local currency, is projected to reach 5.8%, making it the highest among the 15 major bond markets globally [3]. - Despite the significant yield advantage of U.S. Treasuries over other global sovereign bonds, the yield has dropped to a three-year low [3]. - The U.S. dollar index has declined by approximately 3% since the beginning of the year, allowing investors in overseas sovereign bonds to benefit from additional returns due to currency conversion, making the apparent returns from overseas assets higher than those from U.S. Treasuries [3]. Group 2 - Traders expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates three times by the end of the year, with the first cut likely occurring during the upcoming meeting on Wednesday [3]. - The yield advantage of U.S. Treasuries over other global sovereign bonds has narrowed from over 200 basis points in January to 120 basis points [3]. - Due to the depreciation of the dollar, Italian government bonds have emerged as the best-performing major bond market in 2025, with actual returns for dollar investors reaching 16%, while Spanish government bonds yielded 15% [3].

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the bond market, focusing on interest rate trends and investment strategies in the context of current market conditions [1][4][5]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Interest Rate Predictions**: The bond market shows signs of stabilization, but overall sentiment remains weak. The interest rate prediction model indicates a high probability (approximately 85%) of rising rates in the future, suggesting that current rebounds should be viewed as trading opportunities rather than a signal to chase gains [1][5][6]. - **10-Year Government Bond Yield**: It is anticipated that the yield on 10-year government bonds may rise by 20-30 basis points (BP) from the bottom, potentially reaching a high of around 1.85%-1.9% [1][5]. - **Market Sentiment**: A systemic decline in bond rates requires a significant reversal in sentiment, which is currently unlikely in the short term. The bond market is expected to remain volatile but not enter a bear market [1][6]. - **September Funding Pressure**: There is an expected increase in funding pressure in mid to late September due to a large volume of maturing certificates of deposit (CDs), although the tax period's impact is relatively minor [7][8]. - **Investment Strategy**: A "barbell" strategy is recommended for constructing bond portfolios, allowing for flexibility in adjusting long and short positions. It is advised to avoid large holdings in credit bonds with maturities over five years, while small positions in six-year subordinated capital bonds are acceptable [10][11]. Additional Important Insights - **Short-Term Instruments**: For short-term investments, the value of CDs is currently high, with rates close to 1.7%. It is suggested to prefer CDs over high-grade short-term credit bonds [9][8]. - **Local Government Bonds**: Investment strategies for local government bonds include focusing on long-term products with high issuance rates and considering arbitrage opportunities between primary and secondary markets [13][14]. - **Floating Rate Bonds**: For floating rate bonds with maturities of three years or less, attention should be given to specific bonds like 25 Longfa 7,809, while waiting for better pricing on 250,214 [19][20]. - **Arbitrage Opportunities**: There are potential arbitrage opportunities in the pricing of government bonds, particularly between 7-year and 10-year contracts, which could yield risk-free profits [21]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, providing insights into the current state of the bond market and strategic recommendations for investors.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The pressure on the bond market has been persistent recently, mainly due to three factors: the strengthening year - on - year growth of M1 signaling an economic recovery, the return of market risk appetite and the stability of the A - share market leading to capital diversion, and the "anti - involution" policy expectations driving up commodity prices and intensifying inflation expectations. The current one - year rolling stock - bond spread is - 0.6762%, approaching the + 2 standard deviation range (- 0.5408%) [5][60]. - The redemption pressure on public bond funds may ease temporarily, and there may be opportunities for the narrowing of the spread between 5 - 10 - year China Development Bank (CDB) bonds and treasury bonds. The market has already priced in the potential impact of the new public bond fund sales fee policy, causing the spread between CDB bonds and treasury bonds, especially in the 5 - 10 - year segment, to widen significantly. Since the policy is still in the consultation stage, the redemption pressure on public bond funds is expected to ease, and the spread may narrow [5][64]. - In the short term, be wary of the temporary impact caused by institutional profit - taking at the end of the quarter. Institutions that have increased their fixed - income asset allocations in the past three years are under significant profit - assessment pressure this year. The selling behavior at the end of the quarter, especially in September, may disrupt the market. Also, pay attention to the Federal Reserve's interest - rate meeting this week [6][65]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Weekly Bond Market Review - From September 8th to 12th, treasury bond yields first rose and then fell. Policy expectations and institutional behavior jointly dominated the market rhythm. The market was initially affected by the new public bond fund sales fee policy, and then gradually stabilized due to factors such as the central bank's liquidity support, clear expectations of interest - rate bond supply, and stable financial data [11]. - As of September 12th, treasury bond yields generally increased. The 1 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year treasury bond yields rose by 0.41bp, 4.10bp, and 7.15bp respectively compared to the previous Friday. The yields of CDB bonds also increased, with the 10 - year CDB bond yield rising by 15.53bp [16]. - Most of the key term spreads of treasury bonds widened. The 10Y - 1Y spread of treasury bonds widened by 3.69bp to 46.70bp, and the 30Y - 10Y spread widened by 3.05bp to 31.70bp. For CDB bonds, the 10Y - 1Y spread widened by 11.88bp to 45.04bp, while the 30Y - 10Y spread narrowed by 8.88bp to 23.21bp [22]. 3.2 Bond Market Data Tracking 3.2.1 Funding Situation - From September 8th to 12th, the central bank's net open - market operation injection was 1,961.00 billion yuan.

Next week, 12,645.00 billion yuan of reverse repurchases will mature, a larger amount than the previous week [24]. - Funding rates generally increased. R001, DR001, R007, and DR007 rose by 3.7bp, 4.83bp, 2.51bp, and 3.25bp respectively compared to the previous week. The SHIBOR rates also increased. As of September 12th, the overnight, 1 - week, 2 - week, 1 - month, and 3 - month SHIBOR rates rose by 5.10bp, 3.30bp, 5.70bp, 1.20bp, and 0.30bp respectively compared to September 5th [25][35]. - The bill rate remained low, and the bill rate continued to be inverted with the SHIBOR rate. The difference in funding costs between non - bank institutions and banks narrowed, and the phenomenon of funding stratification eased [25][38]. 3.2.2 Supply Side - From September 8th to 12th, the total issuance of interest - rate bonds increased, while the net financing decreased. The total issuance scale of interest - rate bonds was 16,522.02 billion yuan, an increase of 6,280.41 billion yuan from the previous week. The net financing scale was 1,403.59 billion yuan, a decrease of 3,178.30 billion yuan from the previous week [40]. - The issuance scale of government bonds increased, and the net financing also increased. Treasury bonds were issued at 5,663.70 billion yuan, an increase of 2,173.00 billion yuan from the previous week, and local government bonds were issued at 3,016.72 billion yuan, an increase of 2,082.81 billion yuan from the previous week [43]. - The issuance scale of negotiable certificates of deposit (NCDs) increased, the net financing decreased, and the issuance rate increased. The total issuance of NCDs was 7,841.60 billion yuan, an increase of 2,024.60 billion yuan from the previous week, and the net financing was - 4,680.10 billion yuan, a decrease of 7,196.60 billion yuan from the previous week [46]. 3.3 Next Week's Outlook and Strategy 3.3.1 Next Week's Outlook - The supply pressure of treasury bonds will decrease next week.

Although there will be tax payments next week, considering that September is not a major tax - paying month and the central bank's attitude towards liquidity support, the central level of funding rates is expected to remain stable [59]. 3.3.2 Bond Market Strategy - Pay attention to the opportunity of the narrowing spread between CDB bonds and treasury bonds. Given that the new public bond fund sales fee policy is still in the consultation stage, the redemption pressure on public bond funds is expected to ease, and the spread between CDB bonds and treasury bonds may narrow [64]. - Be wary of the temporary impact caused by institutional profit - taking at the end of the quarter. Institutions may sell bonds to realize floating profits in their OCI accounts at the end of the quarter, which may disrupt the market [65]. 3.4 Global Asset Classes - The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened. As of September 12, 2025, the yields of 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and 30Y U.S. Treasuries changed by + 1bp, + 5bp, + 4bp, + 4bp, - 4bp, and - 10bp respectively compared to September 5th, and the 10Y - 2Y spread narrowed by 9bp to 50bp [69]. - The U.S. dollar index weakened slightly, and the central parity rate of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese yuan decreased slightly.
