Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the A-share market rebounded continuously. Vanke's debt extension once dragged down bond market sentiment. On Friday, it was reported that the six major banks stopped selling five-year large - denomination certificates of deposit and lowered the interest rates of three - year deposit products, which increased the expectation of domestic interest rate cuts and led to a slight rebound in the bond market. Overall, the bond market first declined and then rebounded, while ultra - long bonds continued to fall. The trading activity of ultra - long bonds remained stable and was very active. The term spread of ultra - long bonds remained flat, and the variety spread narrowed [1][11][37]. - The current bond market is more likely to fluctuate at a low level.

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry The provided content does not mention the investment rating for the bond market industry. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - From the perspective of the first - principle of the bond market, the current short - term and medium - term adjustment trends may resonate, so caution is prioritized at the end of the year. This year's seasonal pattern has clearly failed, and the pre - conditions for the cross - year market are different from previous years, so one should not stick to old methods [1][38]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Bond Market Weekly Observation - **11 - month bond "decline": Reduced sensitivity to positive factors**: Since November, the bond market has shown a "decline", with continuous weakening market sentiment, a persistently bearish market theme, and continuous redemption of liability funds. The news influencing bond pricing has been mostly repetitive, leading institutions to adopt a conservative approach. The relationship between the stock and bond markets has become more complex, with an asymmetric feedback in the stock - bond seesaw effect, indicating the fragility of bond market sentiment [2][13][14]. - **Technical analysis: Potential C - wave adjustment of treasury bond futures at the end of the year**: Since July, TL has shifted from a five - wave upward trend to a three - wave adjustment pattern through an M - top formation, currently in a typical C - wave adjustment. If the decline in the C - wave is assumed to be the same as that in the A - wave, the low point of the C - wave may be around 109 yuan for the TL main contract. The adjustment may last until around the Spring Festival next year [3][19][20]. - **Low bond market volatility: Lack of emotional resonance for the cross - year market**: Despite the increased bond market volatility in the past week, the adjustment amplitude is still small compared to 2023 and 2024. Due to factors such as the stable long - term outlook based on fundamentals, consistent expectations of long - term loose monetary policy, and compressed term spreads, the low - volatility characteristic of interest rates is likely to continue and intensify. The convergence of pure - bond strategies has also led to less differentiation in the returns of pure - bond funds [4][22][26]. - **Institutional behavior: The main theme at the end of the year, with attention to the superposition of three pressures**: In December, institutional behavior may be the main logic driving the bond market. Key factors include the year - end assessment pressure on banks' financial markets, the redemption pressure on the liability side of funds, and the critical node of the rectification of the smoothing mechanism of wealth management trusts. These factors may lead to increased selling pressure in the bond market [5][30][35]. - **Bond strategy: Abandon inertial thinking and approach the cross - year market with caution**: Given the potential resonance of short - term and medium - term adjustment trends, caution is needed at the end of the year. The cross - year market lacks effective driving forces this year, and the end of the "low - volatility + decline" characteristic of the bond market depends on the implementation of fund regulations and loose monetary policy [38]. 3.2 Bond Market Asset Performance The content mainly presents various charts related to bond market asset performance, such as the yield curve of treasury bonds, the yield of inter - bank certificates of deposit, and the spread between government - owned development bonds and treasury bonds, but no specific text summary is provided in the given content. 3.3 High - Frequency Entity Tracking - **Price - related**: The content includes charts of the Southern China Agricultural Products Index, international crude oil prices, average wholesale prices of vegetables and fruits, and average wholesale prices of meat, which are used to track price trends [51][52][54]. - **Industry - related**: Charts of the Southern China Industrial Products Index, closing prices of glass and coking coal, blast furnace operating rates, and petroleum asphalt operating rates are presented to monitor industrial conditions [56][62][69]. - **Investment and real estate - related**: Information on the transaction area of land in 100 large - and medium - sized cities, the transaction area of commercial housing in 30 large - and medium - sized cities, the second - hand housing listing price index, and the cumulative value of housing completion area is provided to track the real estate market [66][67][71]. - **Travel and consumption - related**: Charts of subway passenger volume, movie box office revenue, passenger car retail volume, and the number of domestic flights are used to monitor travel and consumption trends [76][81][83].
