1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the content about the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the sentiment of interest - rate bonds was strong with slightly declining yields, and credit bond yields generally followed suit. The 10 - year ultra - long - term credit bonds performed strongly, and the spreads of secondary perpetual (Two - Perpetual, or "Two - Yong") bonds narrowed across the board. The excess spreads of industrial and urban investment perpetual bonds decreased slightly. [3][4] - Vanke's debt extension plan was better than expected, leading to an increase in the secondary prices of its outstanding bonds. However, due to the lack of unexpected industry support policies and the will to ensure rigid payment, the market remains cautious about central and state - owned enterprise real - estate bonds with the "high - debt, high - leverage, and high - turnover" model. It is recommended to maintain a wait - and - see attitude towards real - estate bonds in the short term. [5][40] - After the New Year, the performance of Two - Yong bonds was strong. The growth of dividend - insurance premium income may have increased the demand for ultra - long - term Two - Yong bonds, causing a significant decline in yields. Considering the central bank's strong intention to support the market, there may still be room for the spreads of Two - Yong bonds to compress. [5][40] 3.
