1. Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "10-year Treasury yield - CSI 300 dividend yield" is used as the core indicator to observe the cost - performance ratio between stocks and bonds. The current difference is near the +1 standard deviation of the one - year rolling window and at the upper limit of the past three years, indicating that the bond's allocation value is gradually increasing, but it is not yet the time for re - allocation between stocks and bonds, and the bond market still has upward pressure [3][4][5]. - The asymmetric compression of the indicator's range since 2021 is unsustainable, and the range may return to the historical normal state of [-2 standard deviations, +2 standard deviations] due to factors such as the upward revision of fundamental expectations and the increase in investors' risk appetite [4][63][64]. - In the short term, the bond market is under phased pressure due to factors such as the strengthening of M1 year - on - year data, the increase in market risk appetite, and the expectation of "anti - involution" policies. Attention should be paid to the redemption situation of bond - type funds to avoid potential negative feedback effects [7][69]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Bond Market Weekly Review: Treasury Yields Fluctuated Upward - From August 11th to 15th, Treasury yields fluctuated upward, with the stock - bond seesaw effect dominating the bond market.

On August 13th, after the release of the July financial data, the 10 - year Treasury yield slightly declined under the game of multiple and short factors. On August 14th, the bond market yield fluctuated due to the rise and fall of the equity market and the central bank's reverse - repurchase operation. On August 15th, the Treasury yield reversed and rose due to the strong rebound of the equity market [12][13]. 3.2 Bond Market Data Tracking 3.2.1 Funding Situation: Funding Rates First Declined and Then Rose - From August 11th to 15th, the central bank's open - market operations had a net withdrawal of 4,149.00 million yuan. The R001 and DR001 rose, while the R007 and DR007 declined. The SHIBOR rate also showed an upward trend [25][26][37]. - The difference between R007 and DR007 narrowed, indicating a narrowing of the funding cost difference between non - bank institutions and banks. The term spread of FR007S5Y - FR007S1Y widened [26]. 3.2.2 Supply Side: Total Issuance and Net Financing Decreased - From August 11th to 15th, the total issuance of interest - rate bonds decreased, and the net financing amount also decreased.

Rating spreads for 3 - year medium - and short - term notes generally narrowed [47] - For AA + enterprise bonds, 3Y - 1Y and 7Y - 3Y term spreads widened, 5Y - 3Y narrowed.

Credit Rating Adjustment and Default Bond Statistics 3.1 Credit Rating Adjustment - No company rating (including outlook) adjustments during the period [58] 3.2 Default and Extension Bonds - No credit - bond defaults or extensions during the period [59] 4. Investment Views Credit Bonds - From an absolute - return perspective, supply shortages and strong allocation demand support credit bonds. Although fluctuations are inevitable, yields are in a downward channel in the long run. Due to high prices, the allocation pace can be slowed, and bonds can be added during adjustments. Pay attention to interest - rate bond trends and coupon values. Consider bonds of relevant entities underperforming in the Sci - tech Innovation Bond ETF [1][60] - From a relative - return perspective, since rating spreads are at historical lows, credit - sinking and duration - stretching are not cost - effective. High - grade short - term bonds can be used for defense [1][60] Real Estate Bonds - With the real - estate market gradually stabilizing, high - risk - appetite funds can consider early layout, focusing on the balance between risk and return. Allocate to central and state - owned enterprises with stable historical valuations and high - quality private - enterprise bonds with strong guarantees. Long - term allocation can increase returns, and trading opportunities from undervalued real - estate bonds can be explored [2][62] Urban Investment Bonds - In the context of stable growth and prevention of systemic risks, the probability of urban investment bond defaults is low. They can still be a key allocation for credit bonds. The short - term credit risk is low, and the current strategy can be positive. However, during the process of local financing platform clearance and transformation, some urban investment bonds may face valuation fluctuations. Future opportunities in the reform and transformation of "entity - type" financing platforms can be monitored [2][62]

The 10-year government bond yield is expected to fluctuate between 1.6% and 1.9% [34][42]. - The credit bond market is anticipated to underperform compared to interest rate bonds in the short term, with credit spreads widening slightly [36][38].
