Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - No information regarding the industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Views - The bond market sentiment was generally positive last week due to factors such as the central bank's resumption of treasury bond trading, loose cross - month funds, the stock market decline after the Sino - US summit, and weak PMI data. The 10 - year treasury bond yield closed at 1.80% on Friday, down 5.32bp from the previous week [1][7][8]. - The equity market rose first and then fell last week. With positive factors like Sino - US trade negotiations, the release of the "15th Five - Year Plan" draft, and the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation, the A - share market was strong in the first half of the week, with the Shanghai Composite Index hitting a new high above 4000. However, it declined in the second half as positive news materialized and the demand for profit - taking increased. The technology hardware sector, which had a high increase previously, led the decline [1][7]. - Most convertible bond issues rose last week. The CSI Convertible Bond Index increased by 0.79% for the whole week, the median price rose by 0.63%, and the calculated arithmetic average parity increased by 0.64%. The overall conversion premium rate increased by 0.10% compared with the previous week [1][8]. - Convertible bonds are still restricted by high prices, high premiums, and frequent redemptions. The overall opportunity is hard to find as the median convertible bond price remains above 130 yuan. For different types of convertible bonds, there are different challenges, such as limited capacity and return space for low - price strategies in debt - biased convertible bonds, over - anticipation of underlying stock price increases in balanced convertible bonds, and the risk of double - killing of valuation and parity in high - quality "core stocks" of non - redeemable equity - biased convertible bonds during market fluctuations [2][17]. - Given the strong bullish atmosphere in the equity market, it is difficult to make decisions on increasing or decreasing positions. The overall assets should be treated with a trading - band mindset. When selecting bonds, it is advisable to allocate evenly across industries. For balanced convertible bonds, choose those with high - volatility underlying stocks that can quickly digest the high convertible bond premiums, and for equity - biased convertible bonds, focus on low - premium targets [2][17]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Trends (2025/10/27 - 2025/10/31) Stock Market - The equity market showed a volatile trend. The Shanghai Composite Index had different daily changes: up 1.18% on Monday, down 0.22% on Tuesday, up 0.7% on Wednesday, down 0.73% on Thursday, and down 0.81% on Friday. Different sectors had varying performances each day [7]. - Most Shenwan primary industries rose last week.

Bond Market - The bond market sentiment was good. The 10 - year treasury bond yield closed at 1.80% on Friday, down 5.32bp from the previous week, influenced by factors such as the central bank's actions, fund conditions, stock market movements, and PMI data [1][7][8]. Convertible Bond Market - Most convertible bond issues rose. The CSI Convertible Bond Index increased by 0.79% for the whole week, the median price rose by 0.63%, and the arithmetic average parity increased by 0.64%. The overall conversion premium rate increased by 0.10% compared with the previous week. The arithmetic average conversion premium rates of convertible bonds in different parity ranges also changed [1][8]. - In terms of industries, most convertible bond industries rose. The top - performing industries were steel (+3.04%), machinery and equipment (+2.15%), national defense and military industry (+1.75%), and automobile (+1.16%), while communication (-3.18%), beauty care (-3.17%), building materials (-0.75%), and media (-0.48%) performed poorly [11]. - At the individual bond level, Titan (solid - state battery concept), Dazhong (lithium mine), Zhenhua (chromium salt), Zhonghuan Zhuan 2 (innovative drugs), and Yunji (belt conveyor) convertible bonds led the increase, while Tongguang (optical fiber cable), Shuiyang (skin care products), Jingda (controllable nuclear fusion), Huayi (semiconductor clean room), and Wujin (stainless steel) convertible bonds led the decline [1][12]. - The total trading volume of the convertible bond market last week was 310.731 billion yuan, with an average daily trading volume of 62.146 billion yuan, which was higher than the previous week [15]. Valuation Overview - As of October 31, 2025, for equity - biased convertible bonds, the average conversion premium rates in different parity intervals were at different percentile levels since 2010 and 2021. For debt - biased convertible bonds, the average YTM of those with a parity below 70 yuan was -5.3%, at the 0%/1% percentile levels since 2010/2021. The average implied volatility of all convertible bonds was 40.84%, and the difference between the convertible bond implied volatility and the long - term actual volatility of the underlying stocks was -1.34%, both at certain percentile levels [18].
