Core Viewpoint - Recent optimism among U.S. Treasury traders regarding potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve has overshadowed concerns about the U.S. fiscal deficit, leading to expectations that U.S. Treasuries may achieve their best annual performance since 2020 [3][4]. Group 1: Market Performance - The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index has returned approximately 6.7% year-to-date, potentially marking its best annual return since 2020 [5]. - In 2023, the index's return was 5.5%, with a stagnation expected in 2024, contrasting with previous years where short-term U.S. Treasuries were preferred for risk diversification [6]. Group 2: Federal Reserve and Economic Outlook - The Federal Reserve's recent FOMC meeting saw a division among officials regarding interest rate cuts, with some advocating for a 50 basis point cut, while others opposed any cuts [7]. - Despite a weak employment trend, the likelihood of a rate cut in December remains high, suggesting that long-term interest rates may not sustain upward momentum [7]. Group 3: Fiscal Concerns - The U.S. government's budget deficit for fiscal year 2025 is projected at $1.8 trillion, unchanged from 2024, which could exert pressure on the bond market [9]. - The futures market indicates a 46% probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut, down from 67% a week prior, highlighting uncertainty around future monetary policy [9]. Group 4: Corporate Bond Market Risks - Analysts express concerns that the rising U.S. credit market may mask risks associated with historically high valuations of corporate bonds, leading to insufficient risk premiums for investors [10]. - The spread between investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds and U.S. Treasuries narrowed to 0.72 percentage points in September, the lowest since the late 1990s, indicating potential over-speculation in the market [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - The bond market was narrowly fluctuating last week, dominated by the stock - bond seesaw effect. The weak financial and macro data in October confirmed the economic downward expectation in Q4, but the market reaction was flat, and the bond market sentiment was mainly driven by the stock market, being more sensitive to stock market rises. The stock market first adjusted, then rose and fell back, and declined overall last week, leading to bond market fluctuations with only a slight decline in long - term bond yields. Short - term bond yields rose slightly as the tax period approached, and the yield curve continued to flatten [3]. - This week (the week of November 17), the bond market will continue the oscillating pattern. The market's expectation of a reserve requirement ratio cut in the short term has cooled, and the expectation of an interest rate cut is still weak. With the macro data in a vacuum period, the bond market will continue to oscillate, and stock market fluctuations will continue to dominate market sentiment. The new regulations on public fund redemption fees may be implemented soon, but since the market has priced them fully, they may cause market fluctuations in the short term but with limited amplitude. Overall, with multiple factors such as weak fundamentals, low expectation of loose policies, the central bank's care for the capital market, the stock market entering an oscillating rest period, and the unimplemented new regulations on public fund redemption fees, the bond market is unlikely to break the deadlock and will probably continue the narrow - range oscillating pattern [3].

Last Week's Important Events - In October, the policies to stabilize growth drove up entrusted loans, and M1 continued to grow rapidly. In October 2025, new RMB loans were 220 billion, 280 billion less year - on - year; new social financing scale was 815 billion, 597 billion less year - on - year. At the end of October, M2 increased 8.2% year - on - year, 0.2 percentage points lower than at the end of last month; M1 increased 6.2% year - on - year, 1.0 percentage point lower than at the end of last month [14]. - In October, the year - on - year growth of RMB loans decreased due to weak domestic demand, declining external demand, and the continuous downward pull of implicit debt replacement on new medium - and long - term corporate loans. The year - on - year growth of social financing continued to decline, mainly affected by the significant year - on - year decrease in government bond financing and RMB loans to the real economy. Due to the higher base in the same period last year, the growth rate of M2 declined at the end of October but remained at a relatively fast level. The growth rate of M1 declined as the low - base effect weakened, but it still grew rapidly due to the increase in current deposits of urban investment platform enterprises during debt replacement and the increase in current deposits of small and medium - sized enterprises [14]. - The macro data in October continued to decline. The year - on - year actual growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in October was 4.9%, down from 6.5% previously; the cumulative year - on - year actual growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in the first 10 months was 6.1%, compared with 5.8% in the whole year of 2024.

From January to October 2025, the cumulative year - on - year decline of national fixed - asset investment was 1.7%, compared with a decline of 0.5% previously and a growth of 3.2% in the whole year of 2024 [14]. - The industrial production growth rate declined rapidly in October due to different working days compared with last year, negative export growth, weak domestic consumption and investment momentum, and the weakening of the pulling effect of policies to boost domestic demand. The year - on - year growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods continued to decline in October mainly because the effect of the subsidy policy for trade - in weakened, the base in the same period last year increased, and the accelerated decline of the real - estate market dragged down real - estate - related consumption. The year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment from January to October was - 1.7%, with negative cumulative year - on - year values for two consecutive months, mainly due to the slowdown of infrastructure, manufacturing, and real - estate investment. Overall, affected by weak external demand, weakening domestic consumption and investment growth momentum, and the time needed for policies to stabilize growth to take effect, the macro - economic operation in October continued the weakening trend since Q3 [15]. 3.

投机大拿注意到，上周四人民币对美元出现了较大幅度的升值，从7.12升至7.09左右，这一升值幅度已 经相当可观，从而引发了降息预期升温。此前，外管局一直强调要保持人民币汇率的相对稳定，但由于 市场预期美联储将进一步降息，未来人民币升值的压力相对较大，因此为了保证币值稳定，未来大概率 会有降息政策出台。 11月17日，和讯投顾投机大拿在今日市场分析中指出，上周五A股在2点之后出现了一波跳水，叠加周 末的各种消息频发，市场早盘出现了明显的恐慌情绪。 投机大拿认为，这种恐慌情绪本身是没必要的，分析原因，周五A股的跳水大致是从下午2点之后开始 的，而与此同时，可以看到30年期国债在这个时间节点出现了较大幅度的回升。债券价格上涨，而股票 下跌，这种现象并不罕见。很多投资者都知道，股债走势通常是相悖的，例如，在最近的三季度，股市 上涨的同时，债市是下跌的。 那么，债券为什么会在这一刻突然上涨呢？投机大拿表示，债券价格上涨的核心原因通常是降息预期。 债券，尤其是国债，其收益率与存款利率基本相当，因为它们的风险水平相近，收益差距也不会太大。 在这种情况下，降息预期很可能是推动债券价格上涨的主要因素。那么，接下来是否真的会降息 ...
