1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report is bullish on the bond market in the short - term, suggesting that the 10 - year Treasury yield may return to around 1.65%. After the adjustment, there are prominent opportunities in credit bonds [1][107]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Historically, inflation, overheating or recovery of the economy, and tightening of monetary policy are the main reasons for the significant bearish trend in the bond market. Currently, the probability of a significant bearish trend in the bond market is low. The bond market is more likely to maintain a volatile pattern in the next 1 - 2 years [1]. - The signals before the inflection point of the bull - to - bear transition in the bond market are weakening. In the future, nominal GDP growth rate, PPI year - on - year growth rate, and institutional behavior (regulatory policies) may be key indicators and signals. CPI recovery is neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition [1][92]. - The current bond market does not have the conditions for a significant bearish trend. The reasons include the low probability of significant tightening of monetary policy this year, weak economic repair momentum, a loose capital situation, uncertain effects of anti - involution policies, and limited external negative pressure on the bond market [1][106]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Characteristics of Past Bond Bear Markets - **2007 - 2008**: Due to overheating of the economy and high inflation pressure, the central bank continuously raised interest rates, and the 10 - year Treasury yield rose from 3% to 4.5%. After the global financial crisis in the second half of 2008, the policy turned to easing [5]. - **2010 - 2011**: After the "Four - Trillion" stimulus plan, inflation pressure climbed again. The central bank implemented tightening policies, and the 10 - year Treasury yield rose from 3.2% to 4.1% [8]. - **2013**: Due to the "Money Shortage" and financial supervision, there was a liquidity crisis. The central bank tightened liquidity, and the 10 - year Treasury yield rose from 3.4% to 4.6% [9][10]. - **2016 - 2017**: With strong financial supervision, supply - side reform, and shantytown renovation monetization, the central bank tightened monetary policy, and the 10 - year Treasury yield rose from 2.7% to 3.9% [11]. - **2020**: After the public health event, the economy recovered, and the policy gradually returned to normal. The 10 - year Treasury yield started to rise in late April [15]. - **2022**: The end of the public health event increased the market's expectation of economic recovery, and there was a negative feedback from bank wealth management. The 10 - year Treasury yield rose from 2.6% to 2.9% [19][21]. - **Common Characteristics**: Policy drive (tightening of monetary policy and strengthening of financial supervision), economic cycle correlation (the bond market is prone to a bearish trend when the macro - economy is improving and inflation is rising), and capital trends (capital is the link between policy and the market) [22][23][24]. 3.2. Inflection Points of Past Bull - to - Bear Transitions in the Bond Market - **2007 - 2008**: The inflection point occurred on January 17, 2007. Before the inflection point, the monetary policy had turned to tightening, the capital was tightened, the fundamentals improved significantly, and inflation pressure increased [24][27][28]. - **2010 - 2011**: The inflection point occurred on July 14, 2010. Before the inflection point, the monetary policy had turned to tightening, the capital was tightened, the economy recovered rapidly, and CPI and PPI had been rising [36][38][40]. - **2013**: The inflection point occurred on April 16, 2013. Before the inflection point, there was a sign of capital tightening, the economy showed a co - existence of recovery and inflation pressure, and the central bank tightened liquidity [45][49][50]. - **2016 - 2017**: The inflection point occurred on October 21, 2016. Before the inflection point, there was no obvious sign of capital tightening, the economy was relatively stable, CPI was not obvious, and PPI rose significantly [53][57][60]. - **2020**: The inflection point occurred on April 8, 2020. Before the inflection point, there was no sign of capital tightening, the economy recovered simultaneously with the bearish trend, CPI was not obvious, and PPI was more obvious [63][66][67]. - **2022**: The inflection point occurred in August 2022. Before the inflection point, there was no sign of capital tightening, the economy had a pre - recovery trend, and CPI and PPI were not obvious [74][77][78]. 3.3. Reasons Why the Current Bond Market is Unlikely to Go Significantly Bearish - **Past Bull - to - Bear Inflection Point Signals**: Fundamental inflection points (leading or synchronous with the bull - to - bear inflection point), policy inflection points (monetary policy tightening), CPI or PPI recovery (PPI bottoming out 6 - 12 months before the bearish trend), and capital inflection points (yield bottom lags behind the capital bottom by an average of 2.5 months). In the future, these signals are weakening [83][85][87]. - **CPI Recovery is Neither Sufficient nor Necessary**: CPI recovery is not a sufficient or necessary condition for the bull - to - bear transition in the bond market. Cost - push inflation has limited impact on the bond market trend [95][96]. - **Current Situation Analysis**: The monetary policy is unlikely to tighten significantly this year. The economic repair momentum is weak, with low nominal GDP growth, negative GDP deflator, and declining PPI. The capital situation is loose, the "anti - involution" policy effect is uncertain, and the external environment has limited negative pressure on the bond market [97][100][105]. 3.4. Investment Analysis Opinions - In the short - term, the report is bullish on the bond market, suggesting that the 10 - year Treasury yield may return to around 1.65%. After the adjustment, there are opportunities in credit bonds, such as long - duration sinking urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - debt. It is recommended to focus on the long - duration capital bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng banks, and be bullish on urban investment dim - sum bonds and US dollar bonds. Pay attention to the capital bonds of Beibu Gulf Bank, Tianjin Bank, and China Property Insurance [106][107].

Group 1 - Credit bond yields have generally risen, with financial bond spreads widening more than non-financial credit bonds. The 5-year and 7-year spreads for lower-rated bonds narrowed significantly, by 4-8 basis points [2][10] - The 3-year financial bonds saw a notable widening in spreads, particularly for perpetual bonds, with 3-year spreads widening by 3-4 basis points [2][10] - The overall turnover rate of credit bonds decreased from 1.99% to 1.93%, indicating a decline in market activity. The weighted average transaction duration for all credit bonds fell from 3.1 years to 3.0 years [3][10] Group 2 - Institutional behavior shows an increased allocation to credit bonds by wealth management and insurance sectors, while funds have reduced their holdings in secondary capital bonds. Wealth management has focused on increasing positions in bonds with maturities of one year or less [4][10] - Market sentiment remains cautious, with a recommendation to prioritize defensive strategies. It is suggested to adopt a short-duration strategy to enhance returns while maintaining portfolio stability [5][10] Group 3 - The average yield for city investment bonds with an implied rating of AA- and above is 2.12%, with significant variations across provinces. High-yield city investment bonds are concentrated in longer-term bonds [13][17] - The average yield for industrial bonds with an implied rating of AA- and above is 1.90%, with the textile and social services sectors showing higher yields [17]

Group 1 - The report indicates that credit bond yields across various maturities continue to decline, with short-term yields decreasing more than long-term ones, and lower-rated bonds experiencing greater yield reductions than higher-rated ones [1][9] - As of August 8, the credit spreads for 3Y/AAA, AAA-, and AA+ short-term bonds are 18.81BP, 22.81BP, and 26.81BP respectively, which are close to the year's lowest points [1][9] - The current environment is favorable for credit bonds, with a high carry opportunity and stable funding conditions, suggesting further compression of credit spreads in the last three weeks of August [1][9] Group 2 - The report highlights that industrial investment and major project construction are becoming new drivers for regional economic development, with infrastructure projects in transportation, water conservancy, and energy expected to play significant roles [4][18] - It emphasizes the need for local governments to balance between reducing debt and increasing investment in infrastructure to stimulate employment and economic growth [18][19] - The report notes that there is substantial growth potential in industrial investments, particularly in high-tech sectors, which can provide significant returns [19][20] Group 3 - The report suggests that investors should focus on low-duration, high-rated, and highly liquid credit bonds, especially those with significant recovery potential, as the market adjusts [2][13] - It identifies specific bonds with high recovery potential, including 20 public bonds with implied ratings of AA+ and above, which have shown active trading and recovery space of over 12BP [3][16] - The report advises caution regarding long-term credit bonds, as the sustainability of the current credit spread compression is uncertain [2][13]

Core Viewpoint - The bond market is currently experiencing a period of adjustment, influenced by various factors such as the "stock-bond seesaw" effect, but analysts believe that there are still opportunities for bullish positions as negative sentiment dissipates [1][2][4]. Group 1: Market Conditions - The bond market has shown signs of volatility and adjustment, with the 10-year government bond yield rising from 1.67% on July 18 to 1.73% by July 25 [2]. - The stock market has been performing well, with the Shanghai Composite Index surpassing 3600 points and gaining 4.3% in July, which has diverted some funds away from the bond market [2]. - The recent adjustments in the bond market are attributed to increased risk appetite and a rise in funding rates, leading to a significant sell-off in bond funds [3]. Group 2: Investment Opportunities - Despite the recent adjustments, there are positive factors emerging, such as increased buying from insurance institutions, which reached a new high since April 2020, indicating potential support for the bond market [4]. - Analysts suggest that the current bond market levels present a good value for investment, particularly in long-duration government bonds and recently adjusted perpetual bonds [6][7]. - The expectation is that the 10-year government bond yield may return to around 1.65% as market risks ease, and there are notable opportunities in credit bonds, especially in municipal investment bonds and insurance subordinated debt [6][7].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Group 2: Report's Core View - This week, most credit spreads in different industries widened, with only a few narrowing. The credit spreads of urban investment bonds widened overall, with the short - end widening more than the long - end. For industrial bonds, the credit spreads of AA+ and above industrial bonds widened to varying degrees, and the short - end of AA industrial bonds also widened. The credit spreads of bank secondary and perpetual bonds widened overall. After a significant adjustment in credit bond yields, the cost - effectiveness of credit bonds has increased from a static coupon perspective. With the rapid decline in black - series futures prices on Friday night, the bond market sentiment may improve, and the space for further adjustment of credit bonds is relatively limited. It is recommended to focus on long - duration urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - debt, especially the long - duration capital bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng banks, and be optimistic about urban investment dim sum bonds and US dollar bonds [4][43] - Since July 2024, the long - end risk - free interest rate has been in a downward channel, and the yield of ultra - long - term credit bonds has followed suit. Although the proportion of low - valuation transactions and TKN transactions has been rising this year, it has not exceeded last year's high, indicating that the buying sentiment may not have reached its end. With the concentrated listing of science - innovation bond ETFs on July 17, the spreads of medium - and short - term component bonds have been compressed to an extreme level. In the context of the "asset shortage" in the low - interest - rate environment this year, the market may further evolve towards long - duration assets. Investors can still find relatively suitable ultra - long - term credit bond targets in the market [5][49] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Primary Market 1.1 Net Financing Scale - This week, the net financing of credit bonds (excluding asset - backed securities) was 390.6 billion yuan, an increase of 220.3 billion yuan compared with last week.

For example, the AA - rated credit spreads in Henan and Guizhou compressed by 6BP and 3BP respectively, while the AA - rated credit spread in Yunnan and the AA+ - rated credit spread in Guizhou widened by 12BP and 13BP respectively. The credit spreads in other regions mostly widened by no more than 5BP [33] 2.3.2 Industrial Bonds - The credit spreads of AA+ and above industrial bonds widened to varying degrees this week, and the short - end of AA industrial bonds also widened. For example, the credit spreads of 1Y AAA -, AA+, and AA private - placement industrial bonds widened by 5BP, 5BP, and 3BP respectively, and those of 10Y AAA -, AA+, and AA private - placement industrial bonds compressed by 5BP, 3BP, and less than 1BP respectively.

Investment Recommendations - Pay attention to long - duration urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - debt, especially the long - duration capital bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng banks, and be optimistic about urban investment dim sum bonds and US dollar bonds [43] - Focus on the allocation and trading opportunities of ultra - long - term credit bonds. For industrial bonds, State Grid has the largest scale of ultra - long - term credit bonds and good trading atmosphere, but the yield level is relatively low. Chengtong Holdings, Sinochem Group, Guangzhou Yuexiu, and Sichuan Energy Development are more cost - effective. For urban investment bonds, although the static coupon levels are generally better than industrial bonds, the range of available bonds is relatively narrow. Pay attention to the opportunities for further compression of the spreads of Shenzhen Metro, Shaanxi Communications Control, Yantai Guofeng, and Yizhuang Investment Development. The cost - effectiveness of the ultra - long - term bank secondary capital bonds of several large state - owned and joint - stock banks is limited [6][50]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - "Anti - involution" may be Supply - side Reform 2.0, potentially driving a significant rebound in PPI and impacting the bond market [2]. - The stock market is rising steadily, with a notable increase in risk appetite. This may attract funds into the stock market, putting pressure on the bond market [2]. - China's export resilience is prominent. There is a possibility of a further reduction in US tariffs on China, which could promote export growth [2]. - The commencement of the Yarlung Zangbo River downstream hydropower project may boost infrastructure investment growth and drive up related stock prices [2]. - The bond market is expected to fluctuate narrowly in the short term. Attention should be paid to the progress of "anti - involution". The report recommends long - duration sinking of urban investment bonds, capital bonds, and insurance sub - bonds, and suggests paying attention to investment opportunities in certain capital bonds and Hong Kong - listed bank stocks [2]. 3. Summary by Related Aspects Macroeconomic Policy Impact - In 2015, supply - side reform and shantytown renovation promoted a significant rebound in PPI and nominal GDP growth, causing the bond market to decline. In 2025, "anti - involution" has become the focus of economic policy and may have a similar impact [2]. Stock and Bond Market Relationship - Since the Spring Festival in 2025, the stock market has been rising steadily, ending the negative economic cycle from 2022 - 2024. The wealth effect of the stock market promotes consumption, and the inflow of funds into the stock market may put pressure on the bond market [2]. Export Situation - China's total export value has grown rapidly in the past year. The resilience of exports is not only due to "rush - to - export" but also reflects the global competitiveness of many industries. A reduction in US tariffs on China could further boost exports [2]. Infrastructure Investment - The Yarlung Zangbo River downstream hydropower project, with a total investment of about 1.2 trillion yuan, may drive the stabilization of infrastructure investment growth and the rise of related stocks [2]. Bond Market Outlook - The bond market's trading volume is overly concentrated in ultra - long - term interest - rate bonds. If the "anti - involution" efforts are strong, it may lead to the collapse of the ultra - long - term bond concentration and a 10 - 20BP adjustment in the bond market. The 10 - year Treasury yield may need a new round of interest rate cuts to reach a new low. In the short term, the bond market will fluctuate narrowly, and attention should be paid to the progress of "anti - involution" [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report The current economic operation is in a neutral range, and the negative economic cycle of "sharp decline in housing prices and stock prices - wealth shrinkage - consumption downgrade" in the past two years may have come to an end. The marginal change in the economy compared to 2024 may lie in consumption. The report expects interest rate bonds to fluctuate narrowly in Q3 2025, and is bullish on long - duration urban investment bonds and capital bonds. It also anticipates a significant interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in 2026, highlighting opportunities in short - to medium - term US bonds [2]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The bond market fluctuated weakly this week due to multiple negative disturbances such as regulatory guidance on rural commercial bank bond investment and the supply of real estate and ultra - long - term bonds. The adjustment range of credit bonds was smaller than that of interest - rate bonds, and the spreads were mostly passively narrowed. Institutions may continue to explore high - coupon individual bonds after the stock - bond seesaw effect, which helps to further narrow the credit spreads. It is advisable to allocate high - coupon varieties on rallies, and pay attention to the right - hand opportunities for long - term credit bonds after the market stabilizes [2][5]. - For institutions with weak liability - side stability, focus on 2 - 3y medium - and low - grade varieties and some 4 - 5y high - coupon, medium - quality individual bonds. For institutions with strong liability - side stability, take advantage of stable liabilities to extend the duration and actively allocate long - term varieties [2][14]. - When considering taking profits on long - term credit bonds, pay attention to three time points: when funds continue to net buy but credit spreads do not further compress significantly; when the net buying power of funds weakens or turns to small net selling; and using 10 - 15BP above the lowest spread last year as a reference line [5][13]. Group 3: Summary According to the Catalog I. Bond Market Review and Credit Strategy Outlook - This week, the equity market sentiment was strong, and the stock - bond seesaw effect continued. The bond market fluctuated weakly. Most credit bond yields rose, and spreads were mostly passively narrowed. The 3y - and - below short - end spreads of most varieties were compressed to an extreme level, while the medium - and long - term varieties still had some room [5][9][12]. - Looking forward, with the current fundamental pattern unchanged significantly and the second - quarter economic data being relatively strong, the risk of a trend reversal in the bond market is controllable. Institutions may continue to explore high - coupon bonds, and if the adjustment continues next week, it may bring better layout opportunities [5][13]. II. Key Policies and Hot Events - Shenzhen Longfor Holdings Co., Ltd. announced adjustments to the principal and interest repayment arrangements of 21 bonds, indicating that the debt restructuring of real - estate enterprises is accelerating and risk clearing is speeding up [2][16]. - Gansu Province established a 10 - billion - yuan provincial emergency working capital pool, with 2 billion yuan from provincial finance and 8 billion yuan from bank supporting financing, to support key enterprises in repaying due debts and effectively alleviate debt risks [2][3][16]. - The central bank and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced three opening - up optimization measures at the "Bond Connect Anniversary Forum 2025", which may bring new investment opportunities for Chinese overseas bonds traded in the Hong Kong market [2][3][17]. - Ten science - innovation bond ETFs completed their issuance, raising a total of 28.988 billion yuan, with subscriptions being extremely popular. Attention should be paid to the subsequent scale expansion [3][17]. III. Secondary Market - Credit bond yields generally rose this week, and spreads were mostly passively narrowed. In terms of different varieties: - For urban investment bonds, yields generally rose, and spreads mostly narrowed. Attention can be paid to the income - mining opportunities of high - coupon urban investment bonds within 3y and extend the duration of medium - and high - grade varieties [20]. - For real - estate bonds, low - grade varieties were relatively weak.
