Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In January - February 2026, the Spring Festival misalignment factor significantly drove exports, and attention should be paid to the pressure of export decline in March. There is a structural recovery in external demand, with strong exports in the AI/semiconductor chain and automobiles, and a rebound in exports of traditional labor - intensive products. Exports to the US improved, with a year - on - year increase of 9.7% in February. The EU and ASEAN together contributed nearly 9 percentage points to the export growth rate. The export boom is generally neutral for the bond market, and the short - term expectation of double - rate cuts may cool down. However, the global stagflation expectation caused by the US - Iran conflict may disrupt external demand, and the sustainability of export growth remains to be observed. Recently, the view of maintaining a stable short - to - medium - term carry strategy and a weakening long - term oscillation for ultra - long - term bonds is maintained [2][10] - The Spring Festival misalignment effect is estimated to contribute more than two - thirds of the export growth rate. From January to February, China's export year - on - year growth rate increased by 15.2 percentage points compared to December 2025 to 21.8%, and the month - on - month growth also significantly exceeded the seasonal level. The main support comes from the Spring Festival misalignment and low - base effect. This year's Spring Festival was in late February, and the effective production and shipping time for traders before the festival was longer than the same period last year. In January - February last year, the cumulative year - on - year export was only 2.3%. It is estimated that this year's Spring Festival misalignment effect drove the January - February export year - on - year growth rate by about 14.9 percentage points. Looking back at "late Spring Festival" years such as 2015 and 2018, the export growth rates in January - February were 15% and 24% respectively, and then usually declined significantly in March, indicating that attention should be paid to whether the export data in March will decline [10] - Exports to the US improved marginally, ASEAN and the EU remained the main drivers of exports, and exports to South Korea increased significantly. From the perspective of the year - on - year export growth rate from January to February, except for a slight decline in exports to India (20.0%), the export growth rates to most major countries and regions increased. Among them, the export growth rates to ASEAN (29.5%), Africa (49.9%), the US (- 11.0%), and the "Belt and Road" region (29.9%) improved significantly, all increasing by more than 18 percentage points. In terms of the contribution to the growth rate, the contribution of major trading partners to China's export growth rate all rebounded to varying degrees. Among them, ASEAN, the EU, and Japan + South Korea + Hong Kong, China + Taiwan, China performed prominently, with their contributions to exports increasing by 2.76, 2.49, and 2.16 percentage points respectively to 4.76 percentage points, 4.08 percentage points, and 5.11 percentage points [10] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Event Description - In January - February 2026, imports and exports exceeded expectations, and the trade surplus remained at a high level. In US dollar terms, the year - on - year growth rates of China's export and import values from January to February were 21.8% and 19.8% respectively, and the cumulative trade surplus from January to February reached $213.62 billion. Month - on - month, both exports and imports were stronger than the seasonal level. From January to February, the month - on - month export and import growth rates decreased by 16.6 and 20.5 percentage points respectively to - 8.2% and - 9.1%, both higher than the same period in previous years [5] Event Comment - The prosperity of the AI/semiconductor chain boosted the export of electronic products, and high - tech categories such as mechanical equipment had sufficient growth momentum, with a significant increase in exports of traditional categories. In terms of volume - price analysis, in the export growth rates of representative commodities from January to February, the driving effects of both price and quantity increased. The quantity - driven growth of electronics and electromechanical products increased, the price drag of labor - intensive products weakened, and the contribution of labor - intensive products to exports rebounded by 3.7 percentage points to 2.3 percentage points. The contributions of raw materials, electronics, and machinery to exports all increased. In the industrial chain, in the transportation industry, the year - on - year growth rates of automobiles including chassis (67.1%) and ships (52.8%) changed by - 4.5 and + 27.7 percentage points respectively compared to the previous value; in the machinery industry, general machinery (19.2%) and medical devices (20.8%) continued to grow at a high rate; in the electronics industry, only the year - on - year growth rate of mobile phones (- 8.3%) declined, and the year - on - year growth rate of integrated circuits (72.6%) increased by 24.9 percentage points; among raw materials, the year - on - year growth rates of grain (13.2%) and rare earths (- 15.9%) declined significantly; the year - on - year growth rates of exports of labor - intensive products all rebounded by more than 20 percentage points [7] - Import performance was also higher than the seasonal level, with imports from Japan, South Korea, and resource - rich countries contributing significantly. Industrial raw materials and electronic products were the main commodities with high import growth. From January to February, China's import year - on - year growth rate was 19.8%, an increase of 14.1 percentage points compared to the previous value. In terms of specific countries, among the main import trading partners, except for a slight decline in imports from the EU compared to the previous value, imports from other regions increased, and the year - on - year increase in imports from Japan and South Korea exceeded 25 percentage points to 31.7%. In terms of volume - price analysis, in the year - on - year growth rates of representative imported commodities, both price and quantity contributions increased [7]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core View of the Report - Historically, during periods when geopolitical factors drove oil prices above $100 per barrel, convertible bonds showed a pattern of initial adjustment followed by recovery. Large - cap and low - price convertible bonds had better defensive properties, while small - cap and high - price convertible bonds had higher elasticity during the recovery phase [2][4]. - In the week, the A - share market oscillated weakly, with the large - cap style dominant, and cyclical energy sectors such as oil and gas were strong. The convertible bond market also declined, with large - cap bonds relatively more resistant to decline, and trading volume contracted. Valuations were compressed overall when viewed by market price range, while implied volatility remained at a high level. Oil and gas and home appliance sectors were superior in structure, and some bonds with forced redemption announcements had top - ranking gains [2][4]. - The primary issuance of convertible bonds was stable. The game of redemption clauses intensified significantly, with many bonds expected to trigger forced redemption. High attention should be paid to the risk of valuation compression of high - premium convertible bonds [2][4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Oil Price and Convertible Bond Performance - International crude oil prices have effectively exceeded $100 per barrel three times in history. The current rise in oil prices due to the tense situation between the US and Iran may have an impact on inflation and other macro - fields and suppress risk assets. The $100 mark is of symbolic significance to investors [11]. - The three times when oil prices exceeded $100 were in 2008, 2011, and 2022. The core driving factors were different each time. The rise in 2008 was related to capital inflows into US dollar assets and market speculation; in 2022, it was due to supply contraction caused by geopolitical conflicts; in 2011, it was due to the active joint production cuts of oil - producing countries and the demand support from major economies' recovery. During the high - oil - price periods in 2008 and 2022, major stock indices and convertible bond indices both weakened, but convertible bond indices showed better defensive properties with smaller declines [15]. - The current oil price increase due to the US - Iran conflict has a similar "supply contraction" mechanism to the period of the Russia - Ukraine conflict. During the Russia - Ukraine conflict, convertible bonds first adjusted and then recovered. Large - cap and low - price convertible bonds were more resistant to decline during the adjustment, while small - cap and high - price convertible bonds showed greater upward elasticity during the recovery [19]. 3.2 Market Theme Weekly Review - From March 2, 2026, to March 6, 2026, the equity market weakened overall, and cyclical sectors performed well.

The Shanghai Composite Index performed relatively well, while the ChiNext Index was relatively weak. In terms of style, large - cap indices were dominant, and small - and medium - cap and science - innovation indices performed weakly. The average daily trading volume of the market expanded, and the net outflow of main funds also increased slightly [24]. - Cyclical energy sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, coal, and power and new - energy equipment were strong, while sectors such as media, Internet, non - metallic materials, and electronics were weak. Trading volume was mainly concentrated in the electronics, metal materials and mining, and power and new - energy equipment sectors. Most sectors' trading volume recovered, and the average daily trading volume of the oil and gas petrochemical sector increased by more than 163% week - on - week [28][29]. - The market sector congestion was still significantly differentiated. The congestion of cyclical directions such as petroleum, petrochemicals, coal, and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery increased, while that of sectors such as basic chemicals, building materials, and electronics decreased [32]. 3.3.2 Convertible Bond Market - From March 2, 2026, to March 7, 2026, the convertible bond market oscillated and weakened slightly. The small - cap convertible bond index performed relatively weakly, while the large - cap index was relatively strong. Trading volume contracted slightly [34]. - Valuations were stretched overall when divided by parity range, with significant stretching in the 90 - 100 yuan, 110 - 120 yuan, and 130 - 140 yuan parity ranges, and significant compression in the 120 - 130 yuan parity range. When divided by market price range, valuations were compressed overall, with stretching in the 110 - 120 yuan and 120 - 130 yuan market price ranges and significant compression in the 130 - 140 yuan market price range [37]. - The balance - weighted implied volatility of the convertible bond market oscillated and strengthened, remaining at a historical high. The median market price of convertible bonds oscillated and declined, still higher than the high point in August 2025 [40]. - Convertible bonds in the home appliance and petroleum and petrochemical sectors performed relatively well. Trading volume was mainly concentrated in the basic chemicals, power equipment, and electronics sectors, with the combined trading volume of these three sectors accounting for more than 36% [44]. - Most individual convertible bonds weakened. Only 65 convertible bonds had a price increase of 0% or more, accounting for 16.8% of the total number of outstanding convertible bonds in the market. Among the top five convertible bonds in terms of cross - week price increase during the conversion period were Hongbai Convertible Bond, Shouhua Convertible Bond, Hangyu Convertible Bond, Yitian Convertible Bond, and Shengxun Convertible Bond. Among the top five in terms of cross - week price decline were Liyang Convertible Bond, Songlin Convertible Bond, Fuxin Convertible Bond, Weidao Convertible Bond, and Dongshi Convertible Bond. Two of the top five convertible bonds with price increases had announced forced redemption [46]. 3.4 Convertible Bond Issuance and Clause Tracking 3.4.1 Issuance - From March 2, 2026, to March 7, 2026, two convertible bonds, Xianghe Convertible Bond and Tonglian Convertible Bond, were open for subscription.

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The discussion revolves around the impact of rising oil prices on various industries and the potential for stagflation risks in the economy [1][2]. Key Points and Arguments Price Transmission Mechanism - The transmission of rising oil prices to stagflation can be divided into two stages: 1. **Direct Price Transmission**: Oil price increases directly affect downstream industries such as petroleum refining and petrochemicals, leading to cost increases of approximately 16% and 11% respectively for these sectors when oil prices rise by 30% [2][3]. 2. **Economic Downturn Pressure**: Sustained high oil prices can suppress end demand, posing challenges to economic growth and leading to stagflation, where inflationary pressures conflict with the need for economic support [2][3]. Cost Impact on Industries - A 30% increase in oil prices results in significant cost impacts across various sectors: - Directly affected industries like petroleum refining and gas supply see costs rise by 16% and 11% respectively. - Broader industries such as chemicals, metals, and electricity experience cost pressures exceeding 2% due to indirect effects [3][4]. Financial Market Implications - Stagflation expectations can lead to a systemic suppression of risk assets, particularly impacting technology stocks, which have previously benefited from liquidity [3][4]. - The anticipated rise in interest rates to combat inflation may hinder capital expenditures in tech-related sectors, affecting their valuations and growth prospects [3][4]. Sectoral Risk Exposure - Industries with high export dependence, such as home appliances, electronics, and automotive, face greater risks during global demand contractions, with overseas revenue exceeding 20% [4]. - Conversely, sectors reliant on domestic demand, like real estate, public utilities, and food and beverage, show resilience with overseas revenue below 5% [4]. Investment Opportunities and Risk Mitigation Strategies - **Initial Phase**: Investment opportunities focus on sectors benefiting from price increases, including oil, chemicals, and metals, with potential spillover effects into agricultural products [5][6]. - **Subsequent Phase**: As stagflation risks intensify, strategies should shift towards risk aversion, reducing equity exposure and increasing allocations to safe-haven assets like gold and bonds [5][6]. - Defensive sectors such as utilities, food and beverage, and non-bank financials are recommended due to their lower exposure to cost pressures and stronger resilience against demand contractions [6].

Export Performance - In January-February 2026, China's exports increased by 21.8% year-on-year, reaching $656.58 billion, indicating a strong start to the year[2][6] - February alone saw exports of $299.88 billion, with a remarkable year-on-year growth rate of 39.6%, significantly higher than the average growth over the past 12 months[6][13] - The strong export performance is attributed to a recovery in global manufacturing demand and increased competitiveness in high-tech and mechanical products[4][8] Import Trends - Imports also showed robust growth, increasing by 19.8% year-on-year, reflecting both seasonal factors and structural recovery in demand for key commodities[2][14] - Major imports included crude oil, machinery, and agricultural products, with significant increases in the import of rare earths and processed oil products[18][14] - The overall import growth indicates a recovery in domestic manufacturing and a need for replenishing inventories[14][18] Market Outlook - The government emphasizes "expanding high-level opening-up," which is expected to create a more flexible environment for enterprises to engage in global supply chains[4][5] - Despite ongoing trade protectionism from the U.S., recent legal rulings may limit unilateral tariff increases, potentially easing trade tensions[4][5] - The outlook for the rest of the year suggests continued support for exports due to recovering global demand and geopolitical factors, although uncertainties remain[19][5]
