Core Insights - The bond market is currently in a low-yield, high-volatility state, contrasting with the previous year's high-yield, high-volatility environment. This shift suggests frequent "mispricing" opportunities, prompting investors to adopt a "low position + high win rate" strategy for defensive counterattacks and to capitalize on oversold rebound opportunities [1][10][21]. Group 1: Market Conditions - Since the beginning of 2025, the 10-year government bond yield has shown significant volatility, rising from approximately 1.60% at the start of the year to around 1.78% by August 20, with a peak close to 1.90%. The rolling standard deviation indicates that the yield's volatility has increased, with a median of about 0.03%, higher than the median of 0.028% from 2021 to 2024 [10][11]. - The performance of bond funds has declined in 2025, with the median annualized return for medium to long-term pure bond funds at 0.83%, significantly lower than the 3.98%, 2.36%, 3.47%, and 4.58% returns from 2021 to 2024. Short-term pure bond funds also reflect a similar trend, with a median return of 1.41% [11][12]. Group 2: Fund Evaluation - The Calmar ratio is deemed more reflective of true risk compared to the Sharpe ratio, although both should be used in conjunction. The Sharpe ratio is more suitable for short and pure bond funds with lower volatility and drawdown, while the Calmar ratio is better for long bond funds and secondary bond funds that exhibit higher volatility and deeper drawdowns [2][16]. - In 2025, investors are advised to prioritize the Calmar ratio alongside the Sharpe ratio to better select bond funds, as the low-yield, high-volatility environment increases the demand for fund managers' ability to control drawdowns [19][20]. Group 3: Investment Strategy Adjustments - The bond market is still in a headwind phase, with the trend for bullish positions delayed. Despite rising interest rates and a steepening curve reducing bullish sentiment, the high volatility presents frequent "mispricing" opportunities. Investors are encouraged to maintain a "high-grade, short-duration, high-liquidity" base to better control drawdowns while selectively participating in long and ultra-long bonds after significant declines [3][21][22]. - The strategy should focus on quick trades and timely profit-taking, as the current market conditions do not favor long-term bullish positions. Historical data indicates that after significant declines, the 10-year government bond typically experiences a short-term rebound [22][24].

Core Viewpoint - The stock market is experiencing significant growth, with the Shanghai Composite Index up 12.8% and the ChiNext Index up 22% in 2025, while the bond market is facing challenges, with a 30-year government bond ETF down over 2% year-to-date and a further decline of 4% since June [1][2] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The "see-saw effect" between stocks and bonds reflects a shift in market risk appetite, where funds flow into equities during bullish phases and retreat to bonds during bearish phases [1][2] - The primary determinants of bond market trends are economic fundamentals, including macroeconomic conditions, inflation, and monetary policy, rather than stock market performance [2][3] Group 2: Economic Indicators - Recent economic data indicates a weakening trend, with July's new loans showing negative growth for the first time since 2005 and a decline in social financing year-on-year [2][3] - Despite these indicators suggesting support for the bond market, the bond market continues to decline due to strong stock performance and policy disruptions, indicating a temporary disconnection from economic data [2][3] Group 3: Investment Strategies - In a bullish stock market, the bond market may not present high value, but there are opportunities for tactical trading, suggesting a strategy of buying low and selling high [4][5] - Monitoring the 10-year and 30-year government bond yields is crucial, as bond prices and yields move inversely; rising yields lead to falling bond prices and vice versa [4][5] Group 4: Historical Context - Over the past decade, the long-term trend in China's bond market has been a decline in yields, with the 10-year government bond yield currently around 1.76% and the 30-year yield at 2.06% [5][6] - Historical data shows that current yields are at a low point, but there is potential for further declines, indicating a long-term downward trend in interest rates [6][7] Group 5: Tactical Approaches - For short-term trading, flexibility is key; if yields rise, it presents buying opportunities, while falling yields may prompt profit-taking [6][7] - For long-term investments, considerations include duration selection, risk-return trade-offs, and alignment with market conditions, emphasizing the importance of rational decision-making [7]

The bond market's decline reflects a reset of the market risk pricing model [2][3]. - Despite short-term pressures, the long-term fundamentals supporting the bond market remain intact, suggesting that the disturbances caused by the stock market are likely to be temporary [3][4].
