1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for treasury bonds is "oscillating" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Although most economic and financial data in July fell short of expectations, the market risk - appetite continued to rise, resulting in weak performance of treasury bonds and a steeper yield curve. The bear - steepening trend of the curve is expected to continue next week [15]. - The stock - bond assets are desensitized to the fundamentals. The rising equity market suppresses the bond market, and this pattern is difficult to change in the short term. The equity market's self - strengthening characteristic will likely lead to continued upward oscillations, putting pressure on long - term bond varieties [16]. - The capital market is relatively balanced, but there is limited room for further loosening in the short term. The capital market cannot effectively offset the negative impact of the rising equity assets, but it will make the upward range of short - term bond interest rates slightly smaller [16]. 3.

The capital market and the performance of the equity market will dominate the bond market trend. The bear - steepening of the curve is expected to continue. The fundamentals are favorable for the bond market, but the pattern of the rising equity market suppressing the bond market is hard to change in the short term [15][16]. 3.2 Weekly Observation of Interest - Rate Bonds 3.2.1 Primary Market - This week, 50 interest - rate bonds were issued, with a total issuance volume of 5556.92 billion yuan and a net financing amount of 3437.94 billion yuan, down 2528.17 billion yuan and 2521.04 billion yuan respectively from last week. 26 local government bonds were issued, with a total issuance volume of 914.32 billion yuan and a net financing amount of - 137.36 billion yuan, down 740.27 billion yuan and 965.84 billion yuan respectively from last week. 455 inter - bank certificates of deposit were issued, with a total issuance volume of 7760.30 billion yuan and a net financing amount of - 1311.10 billion yuan, with a change of + 13.00 billion yuan and - 3075.70 billion yuan respectively from last week [23]. 3.2.2 Secondary Market - Most treasury bond yields rose.
