Core Viewpoint - The bond market is experiencing significant pressure due to rising long-term yields and the failure of traditional interest rate pricing frameworks, leading to a state where stock market performance heavily influences bond pricing [1][14][13]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Since mid-July, the bond market has faced capital losses due to a substantial rise in long-term yields, with 10-year and 30-year government bond yields increasing by 12 basis points and 25 basis points respectively from July 15 to August 22 [13][1]. - The stock market's extreme risk-reward ratio has maintained a rolling 3-month Calmar ratio above 4.0 since July, a level not seen during the previous year's "924" rally, putting additional pressure on the bond market [14][1]. - The bond market is currently in a pricing state dominated by risk appetite, leading to a "look at stocks, act on bonds" approach [1][14]. Group 2: Future Market Logic - Two potential scenarios for the stock market's future are identified: a rapid rise supported by the "93 consensus" or a period of volatility as investors take profits ahead of the September 3 military parade [17][2]. - If the rapid rise scenario occurs, the bond market may face further declines, with long-term rates potentially approaching March highs. Conversely, if the volatility scenario plays out, the bond market could see a recovery as yields decline [17][2]. Group 3: Institutional Behavior and Fund Flows - Institutional behavior indicates a potential for a more optimistic bond market outlook, with reduced net selling of bonds by funds from 358.7 billion yuan in late July to 202.8 billion yuan in mid-August [18][3]. - The bond market is seeing increased buying interest from institutions, including banks and brokerages, as they position for a potential market reversal [18][3]. Group 4: Monetary Policy and Liquidity - The Federal Reserve's dovish signals from the Jackson Hole meeting have shifted market expectations towards potential interest rate cuts, easing global monetary tightening pressures and opening up domestic monetary policy space for rate cuts and liquidity injections [22][3][23]. - The People's Bank of China has been active in maintaining liquidity through reverse repos and MLF operations, indicating a supportive stance for the bond market [4][23]. Group 5: Bond Market Strategy - Current strategies suggest a focus on a "barbell" approach in bond investments, with attention to long-term government bonds and a gradual rebuilding of duration positions as monetary policy space opens up [26][3]. - The average duration of bond funds has been adjusted downwards, indicating a shift in strategy as institutions respond to market conditions [50][3].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the escalating U.S. debt crisis, highlighted by the 30-year Treasury yield surpassing 5%, and the significant sell-off of U.S. Treasuries by Japanese investors, indicating a potential crisis for the dollar and U.S. financial stability [1][3][5]. Group 1: U.S. Debt Crisis - The U.S. debt crisis has intensified, with the 30-year Treasury yield reaching a historic high of 5%, signaling a lack of buyers and an increase in sellers [5][11]. - Japanese investors have sold approximately $20 billion in U.S. Treasuries, exacerbating the situation for the U.S. [5][10]. - The rising yields are expected to increase borrowing costs for the U.S., complicating the government's fiscal challenges [11][16]. Group 2: Japan's Financial Strategy - Japan, previously the largest holder of U.S. debt, is now seen as a significant threat to U.S. financial stability due to its recent actions [3][10]. - The Bank of Japan has diversified its reserves by increasing gold holdings and reducing reliance on U.S. Treasuries, sending a clear signal about the stability of the U.S. debt market [7][18]. - Japan's financial maneuvers are viewed as a form of "invisible counterforce" against U.S. policies, potentially influencing U.S. trade negotiations [13][18]. Group 3: Global Economic Implications - The volatility in the U.S. debt market poses risks not only to the U.S. economy but also to the global financial system, particularly affecting international trade and investment linked to the dollar [16][20]. - The ongoing financial struggle may lead to a reevaluation of U.S. fiscal policies, especially regarding tariffs and trade relations with Japan [11][15]. - The situation reflects a broader shift in global economic power dynamics, with Japan leveraging its financial strategies to gain more influence [18][20].

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The bond market is likely to continue its range - bound fluctuations. The adjustment range of the bond market will be protected by the buying power of allocation investors and the central bank's liquidity injection, which will suppress the upward space of interest rates. Meanwhile, the relative "absence" of allocation power since this year will also restrict the downward space of interest rates [39]. - It is expected that 1.80% may become the temporary top of the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate, and currently, it is in the process of reaching the top [22]. - In the volatile market, attention can be paid to Guokai bonds of the 10 - year maturity, but the further manifestation of their value needs the stabilization of bond market sentiment and liquidity [40]. Summary by Directory 1. Bond Market Review 1.1 Bond Market Fluctuated with the Stock Market, and the Long - end Was Significantly Weak - The bond market followed the stock market and failed to have an independent trend. The stock - bond "seesaw" effect was obvious, and the bond market was "desensitized" to the fundamentals. There was a concentrated redemption of bond funds, and the interest rate center shifted upward with increased daily fluctuations. The yield of the 10 - year Treasury bond active bond broke through the 1.75% key point on 8/18 and then moved in the range of 1.75% - 1.79%. The overall yield curve shifted upward, with the medium - short end being significantly weak [6][7]. 1.2 Tax Payment Period Led to an Unexpected Convergence of Funds - The funding situation unexpectedly tightened and then eased marginally, with increased fluctuations in funding rates. The reasons included the resonance impact of the traditional tax period and the non - traditional stock - bond market linkage changing the flow of funds. The central bank increased the liquidity injection in advance to stabilize expectations and block the spread of redemption pressure [14]. 2. This Week's Focus 2.1 Has the Interest Rate Reached the Top? - In the past week, the central bank's support was effective, allocation investors continued to buy, and trading investors changed from selling to slightly net buying, which may gradually restrict the upward space of interest rates. It is expected that 1.80% may become the temporary top of the 10 - year Treasury bond interest rate [22]. - The central bank's timely support protected the bond market adjustment. When the bond market interest rate rose to a temporary high or the selling power of trading investors such as funds increased, the central bank would increase its open - market investment within 1 - 4 days [23]. - The buying power of allocation investors formed support at the 1.8% level of the 10 - year Treasury bond, suppressing the further upward space. However, the allocation power has been relatively "absent" this year, weakening the internal repair momentum of the bond market [26][27]. - Trading investors changed from selling to slightly net buying. Funds gradually increased their purchases of Treasury bonds and short - term financing bills in the second half of the week. Meanwhile, wealth management products slightly net - bought medium - term notes, short - term financing bills, and Tier 2 capital bonds, and the current redemption pressure was generally controllable [28][31]. 2.2 How Many Basis Points Has the Market Priced for the Newly Issued Tax - Inclusive Treasury Bonds? - The 30 - year Treasury bond basically fully priced the 6% VAT on the basis of the fair active bond price. The new 10 - year Treasury bond priced about 3% of the VAT, indicating that the current bond market allocation power may be relatively weak, and the digestion of the 6% VAT for ultra - long - term varieties is limited [3][38]. 3. The Bond Market May Continue Range - Bound Fluctuations - The bond market is likely to continue range - bound fluctuations. The buying power of allocation investors and the central bank's liquidity injection will suppress the upward space of interest rates, while the relative "absence" of allocation power will restrict the downward space [39]. - In the volatile market, Guokai bonds of the 10 - year maturity can be considered. After the adjustment since late July, the allocation cost - effectiveness of 10 - year Guokai bonds is prominent, and the VAT policy adjustment may further promote the narrowing of the spread between Guokai and Treasury bonds [40].

Bond Market Strategy Next week, the following factors need to be focused on: - **Funding Situation**: The scale of reverse repurchase maturities next week reaches 2.98 trillion yuan. It is necessary to observe whether the central bank will increase investment to stabilize the funding situation, especially the marginal changes in liquidity after the end of the month [8]. - **Stock - Bond Seesaw Effect**: After the Shanghai Composite Index breaks through 3800 points, if it continues to rise, it may suppress bond market sentiment [8]. - **Policy Expectation Game**: The issuance of 500 - billion - yuan new policy - based financial tools may be a short - term negative for the bond market if it exceeds expectations. The implementation of the Fed's rate - cut expectation may be a short - term positive for the bond market [8].

Core Insights - The report suggests that a long-term bullish asset breaking below the annual line typically indicates a good entry point, recommending investors adopt a persistent mindset and defensive counterattack strategy in response to the current insufficient Calmar ratio in the bond market [1][3][21] Group 1: Asset Price and Annual Line - The annual line (MA250) serves as a medium to long-term trend anchor, representing the average cost over the past year and is viewed as the market's long-term equilibrium price. A price drop below this line often signals a weakening market sentiment and a potential trend reversal [11][12] - A downward breach of the annual line is interpreted as a bearish signal, indicating that the market may be entering a medium to long-term bear phase, which could trigger stop-loss or reduction actions among investors [11][12] Group 2: Review of Mainstream Assets - The 10-year government bond futures exhibit a clear long-term momentum trend, with strong support expected near the annual line. Historical analysis shows that the T contract has often rebounded after touching the annual line, indicating potential for recovery [13][14] - The Shanghai Composite Index has experienced multiple breaches of the annual line in recent years, with significant volatility and no clear support at the annual line, leading to substantial annual drawdowns [17][18] - The Nasdaq Index has shown a similar pattern, with significant movements around the annual line, reflecting the impact of macroeconomic factors and investor sentiment on its performance [20][22] Group 3: Market Sentiment and Strategy - The report emphasizes that unless a long-term bull market is confirmed to have ended, the current situation presents a favorable entry point for investors. The historical performance of the T contract supports this view, as most years have proven effective for entry after a breach of the annual line [3][21] - Short-term downward momentum may persist due to concentrated stop-loss releases following the breach, but as long as the bull market trend continues, the report suggests that opportunities outweigh risks [3][21]

Group 2: Stock Market Influence - The A-share market is witnessing unprecedented growth, with the Shanghai Composite Index surpassing 3,800 points, leading to a significant influx of capital into equities [1][2]. - The "stock-bond seesaw" effect is evident, where a booming stock market results in a cooling bond market, as institutions prefer equities when expected returns are higher [2][4]. Group 3: Fund Performance - Different types of bond funds are showing varied performance; short-term bond funds remain stable, while ultra-long bond funds and interest rate bond funds have suffered significant losses [6][9]. - Mixed bond funds have performed well due to their limited equity exposure, effectively hedging against bond market declines [7].
