1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - The pricing power of funds in the bond market has further increased, and there are still short - term long - trading opportunities. The high correlation between funds and interest rate trends has been further strengthened this year, and low interest rate fluctuations imply the enhancement of funds' pricing power in the bond market. Some "unexplained" interest rate increases may be due to the lack of bond - receiving institutions. The impact of fund institutional behavior on interest rate fluctuations may further expand, and short - term redemption pressure is controllable [2][11][15] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 This Week's Institutional Behavior Review - **Correlation between funds and interest rates**: The high correlation between funds and interest rate trends is not new. Since 2024, the behavior of funds and interest rate trends have shown high correlation, and this year, the low - level fluctuation of interest rates has implied the further improvement of funds' pricing power in the bond market, which may be related to bank wealth management outsourcing [2][11][12] - **"Unexplained" interest rate increases**: This phenomenon may be related to the lack of bond - receiving institutions. Insurance institutions have reduced their allocation of national bonds since 2024, and rural commercial banks' intention to buy more as the interest rate adjusts is gradually decreasing [15] 3.2 Yield Curve - **Treasury bonds**: Short - term yields increased, while medium - and long - term yields decreased.

Group 1: Investment Rating - The report gives a bullish outlook on the bond market in the short - term, recommending long - duration sinking city investment bonds, capital bonds, city investment dim sum bonds, and US dollar bonds, and strongly promoting perpetual bonds of Minsheng, Bohai, and Hengfeng Banks, while also suggesting attention to capital bond opportunities of Tianjin Bank, Beibu Gulf Bank, and China Property Insurance [2] Group 2: Core Views - As of Q2 2025, the total assets of interest - rate bond funds reached 3.6 trillion yuan, a record high since Q1 2023. The bond allocation ratio continued to rise, with the proportion of bonds in the overall asset allocation reaching 97.28%. Active interest - rate bond funds slightly increased their allocation to Treasury bonds and significantly increased their allocation to long - duration bonds. The overall yield of interest - rate bond funds rebounded [2] - In Q2 2025, affected by factors such as the domestic economic adjustment period, relatively loose monetary policy, and institutional allocation demand, the yield of 10 - year Treasury bonds declined rapidly and then fluctuated at a low level. The overall scale of interest - rate bond funds only increased slightly. In terms of heavy - position bond allocation, the scale and proportion of various types of bonds changed little, but the strategy leaned towards long - duration bonds [2] - In late July, the bond market adjusted. The report believes that going long in the bond market is currently the path of least resistance. In August, the yield of 10 - year Treasury bonds may gradually return to around 1.65%, and the yield of 5 - year national and joint - stock second - tier bonds may fall below 1.9%. There are few negative factors in the current bond market, and the new tax regulations may push up the demand for old government bonds and financial bonds, lowering yields [2] Group 3: Summary by Directory Interest - rate Bond Fund Scale and Asset Allocation - As of Q2 2025, the total assets of interest - rate bond funds were 3.6 trillion yuan, with active and passive interest - rate bond funds at 2.4 trillion and 1.2 trillion yuan respectively, increasing by 0.07 trillion and 0.13 trillion yuan compared to Q1 2025.

Compared with Q1, there was a slight increase in Treasury bond allocation and a decrease in policy - financial bond allocation, with the proportions changing by + 2.0 and - 2.7 percentage points respectively [2] Interest - rate Bond Fund Duration Changes - From Q1 to Q2 2025, the duration of interest - rate bond funds calculated based on heavy - position bonds rose rapidly from 3.32 years to 3.95 years. The average duration of heavy - position Treasury bonds of active interest - rate bond funds increased significantly to 9.34 years.

In terms of heavy - position bond allocation, the strategy leaned towards long - duration bonds to seek higher returns [2]

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].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report Under the resonance of multiple negative factors such as the rise in risk preference, the sharp rise in the equity and commodity markets, and the central bank's net withdrawal in the open - market operations disturbing the capital price, the bond market fluctuated violently this week. The selling behavior of funds is particularly worthy of attention. The scale of funds' net selling on Thursday and Friday was second only to the redemption tides in late August and early October last year. The performance of bond funds was poor, with over 40% of pure interest - rate bond funds recording negative returns in the past three months. Continued attention should be paid to changes in market risk preference and fund redemption situations [10]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Overall Sentiment - The bond market vitality index increased, mainly due to the rise in the turnover rate of ultra - long bonds.

However, the net purchase of 7 - 10Y and over 10Y cash bonds was higher than the same period in previous years [70]. - **Insurance**: This year, the net purchase of cash bonds and its ratio to premium income were significantly higher than in previous years, mainly due to the sufficient supply of ultra - long - term government bonds.

Investors can maintain duration and seize opportunities from falling interest rates [2]. - In mid - July, there are both positive and negative factors for the liquidity. The key variable is the central bank's roll - over of outright reverse repos. DR007 is likely to fluctuate between 1.40% - 1.50%. There are few negative factors for the bond market.
