Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2.

The "anti - involution" policy's impact on the real economy is emerging, and the economy still faces difficulties and challenges in maintaining continuous recovery [2][10]. - Regarding the bond market, it is advisable to be optimistic. The 10Y Treasury bond yield is estimated to fluctuate around 1.7%. Convertible bonds are relatively high - quality assets in the long - term, but currently, the valuation is high, and more attention should be paid to the structure [3][24]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event On September 15, 2025, the National Bureau of Statistics released the economic data for August 2025: the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in August was 5.2%, the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment from January to August was 0.5%, and the year - on - year growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods in August was 3.4% [1][6][9]. 3.2 Economic Data Analysis - **Industrial Production**: In August, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value above designated size was 5.2%, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points from July, and the growth rate has declined for two consecutive months. The main reasons for the decline in the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value were the slowdown in manufacturing and the production of electricity, heat, gas, and water supply industries. The "anti - involution" policy's impact on the real economy began to appear [2][6][10]. - **Fixed - Asset Investment**: From January to August 2025, the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment was 0.5%. The month - on - month growth rate in August was - 0.2%, continuing to decline. The cumulative year - on - year growth rates of real estate, manufacturing, and general infrastructure investment all decreased. In August, the year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment decreased by 9.3% [12][13]. - **Social Consumption**: In August 2025, the year - on - year growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods was 3.4%. The month - on - month growth rate was 0.17%, turning positive but weaker than the seasonal average. Among consumer goods, the year - on - year growth rate of necessary consumption declined, while some optional consumption items maintained good performance, and the year - on - year growth rate of catering consumption increased but was mediocre [16][19]. 3.3 Bond Market Views - **Interest - Rate Bonds**: Since August 2025, the yield of Treasury bonds has shown a significant divergence. The short - end yield has fluctuated little, while the long - end yield has increased significantly. Given the relatively abundant liquidity, the need for fundamental improvement, and the increasing cost - effectiveness of bonds compared to stocks, an optimistic attitude towards the bond market is recommended, with the 10Y Treasury bond yield expected to fluctuate around 1.7% [3][24]. - **Convertible Bonds**: As of September 12, 2025, the performance of the convertible bond market was slightly lower than that of the equity market. Currently, convertible bonds are in a stage of high - level valuation compression. In the long run, they are still relatively high - quality assets, but attention should be paid to the structure due to the high current valuation [25].
