1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The issuing guidance rates announced by the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors (NAFMII) during the period from March 16th to March 22nd showed a divergence, with most rates for medium - and short - term maturities decreasing and most for long - term maturities increasing, with an overall change range of -2 BP to 1 BP [1][51]. - The issuance scale of credit bonds continued to increase on a week - on - week basis and was at a historically high level. Corporate bonds remained at zero issuance, the issuance amount of private placement notes decreased, and the issuance amounts of other varieties increased. The net financing of credit bonds increased on a week - on - week basis [1][51]. - In the secondary market, the trading volume of credit bonds increased on a week - on - week basis, with the trading volume of corporate bonds decreasing and that of other varieties increasing [1][51]. - The yields of credit bonds declined overall, with a larger decline in the medium - and short - term [1][51]. - In terms of credit spreads, the medium - and short - term credit spreads of medium - and short - term notes and corporate bonds generally narrowed, while the long - term spreads widened; the 5 - year credit spread of urban investment bonds widened, and most spreads of other maturities narrowed [1][51]. - From an absolute return perspective, the relatively strong allocation demand will drive the credit bond market to continue its recovery. Although fluctuations and adjustments are inevitable under the influence of multiple factors, the conditions for a full - scale bear market in credit bonds are still insufficient. In the long run, future yields are still in a downward channel, and the idea of increasing allocation during adjustments is still feasible [1][51]. - From a relative return perspective, the compression space of credit spreads at all maturities is insufficient at present, and the cost - effectiveness of most varieties for allocation is not high. The coupon strategy in the current allocation should be cautious, while the trading strategy can be moderately optimistic. The key to bond selection is to focus on the trend of interest - rate bonds and the coupon value of individual bonds [1][51]. - The end - of - quarter factor may cause some disturbances. Considering the possible volatile market in the near future, it is necessary to coordinate and transform the allocation and trading strategies in line with the trend. Attention should also be paid to the effectiveness of growth - stabilizing policies, the impact of the equity market on the bond market, and the influence of changes in the capital market and supply - demand pattern on market sentiment [1][51]. - The central and local governments are continuously and actively optimizing real - estate policies, which have played a positive role in promoting the stabilization of the real - estate market. For real - estate bonds, investors with higher risk tolerance can consider early layout, focusing on enterprises with outstanding new financing and sales recovery, and balancing risks and returns. The focus of allocation should be on central and local state - owned enterprises with stable historical valuations and excellent performance, as well as high - quality private enterprise bonds with strong guarantees. Longer durations can be used to increase returns, and trading opportunities from the valuation repair of oversold real - estate enterprise bonds can also be appropriately explored [2][52][53]. - For urban investment bonds, the possibility of default is low, and they can still be a key allocation variety for credit bonds. The debt resolution has achieved remarkable results, and the reform and transformation of financing platforms are in the final stage. Attention can be paid to the reform and transformation opportunities of "entity - type" financing platforms [3][53]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Primary Market Situation 3.1.1 Issuance and Maturity Scale - From March 16th to March 22nd, a total of 482 credit bonds were issued, with an issuance amount of 396.635 billion yuan, a week - on - week increase of 17.70%.
