Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating [1] Core Viewpoints - After the New Year, the market has high expectations for a good start in the 15th Five - Year Plan, with strong profit - taking sentiment. Under the stimulus of the "Shanghai Seven Measures", the bond market fell continuously until it stopped falling on Friday. The medium - and long - term credit strategies had obvious pullbacks, while the short - end sinking strategy's net value remained stable. Looking forward, with factors such as loose capital and the opening of amortized bond funds remaining unchanged, credit bonds are still an asset that combines offense and defense. Currently, the cost - effectiveness of chasing up in the bond market has decreased, and the market is likely to fluctuate in March. There is limited room for exploration within 3Y of credit bonds, with a stronger defensive nature. It is recommended to do more sinking to build a bottom - position. There is a thickening of term spreads for many entities in the 3 - 4Y range, presenting riding opportunities. Long - term bonds over 5Y have certain attractiveness in terms of absolute returns, and institutions with strong liability - side stability can make layouts. There is a convex point around 4Y for Tier 2 and perpetual bonds, with expected considerable riding returns, combining both offense and defense [6][10] Summary by Directory 1. Credit Bond Weekly Viewpoint: Grasping Bonds with Strong Convexity in the 3 - 4Y Range - After the New Year, due to high expectations for the 15th Five - Year Plan's good start and strong profit - taking sentiment, the bond market declined under the "Shanghai Seven Measures" until Friday. Medium - and long - term credit strategies pulled back, while short - end sinking strategies' net values were stable. In the future, with favorable factors like loose funds and the opening of amortized bond funds, credit bonds are still offensive and defensive. The cost - effectiveness of chasing up in the bond market is low, and March is likely to see fluctuations. There is limited exploration space within 3Y of credit bonds, with a stronger defensive property; 3 - 4Y has riding opportunities due to thickened term spreads; 5Y+ long - term bonds are attractive for institutions with stable liabilities. Tier 2 and perpetual bonds around 4Y have convex points and expected riding returns [6][10] 2.

Core Viewpoint - The article argues that contrary to common belief, consumer spending in China may not continue to suffer due to the downturn in the real estate market. Instead, international experience suggests that consumer sentiment tends to improve during the latter stages of real estate adjustments, indicating that China may be at a turning point for consumer spending [1][9]. Group 1: International Experience and Economic Effects - International experience shows that consumer sentiment typically exhibits a "U-shaped" pattern around real estate turning points, with consumer spending improving before income does [2][10]. - The impact of real estate market changes on the economy can be categorized into three effects: "income effect," "wealth effect," and "crowding-out effect." The "income effect" influences total demand and employment, affecting consumer income and spending [2][11]. - In the first five years of the "post-real estate era," the "income effect" dominates, leading to a decline in consumer spending. After the peak of the real estate cycle, disposable income growth tends to decline for about ten years, with average growth rates dropping from 8%-10% to 3%-4% [2][11][16]. Group 2: Consumer Sentiment Improvement - In the 5-10 years following the peak of the real estate market, the "crowding-out effect" weakens, allowing consumer sentiment to improve before income does. This shift is particularly evident among potential homebuyers aged 25-40, who are key drivers of social consumption [3][16]. - Evidence suggests that China may currently be at the starting point of a "U-shaped" reversal in consumer sentiment, with significant changes in the impact of real estate on the economy since 2021 [4][40]. - The year 2015 marked a critical turning point for the impact of real estate on the economy, with the "income effect" and "wealth effect" dominating until then, leading to sustained high growth in disposable income and consumer sentiment [4][41]. Group 3: Future Expectations and Policy Support - By around 2026, as the "crowding-out effect" significantly weakens, a new cycle of improved consumer sentiment may begin. Indicators such as the housing price-to-income ratio have returned to levels seen before 2015, suggesting a new balance in the three economic effects [5][83]. - The shift in population and industry towards non-first-tier cities is also reducing the pressure of high housing prices on young people's consumption willingness, further alleviating the "crowding-out effect" [94]. - Policies aimed at expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption are being implemented, with a focus on optimizing personal consumption loan subsidies and enhancing support for service consumption [156][157].
