Group 1 - The report suggests that in the absence of strong expectations for short-term interest rate cuts, both long-term government bond yields and short-term deposit rates are unlikely to decline significantly. The market currently does not anticipate easing of short-term funds or a reduction in LPR [1][8][37] - It is recommended to focus on two strategies for portfolio construction: 1. Opt for slightly lower duration for defensive positioning, waiting for a rate adjustment of around 5 basis points before considering extending duration; 2. Maintain a market-neutral or slightly longer duration stance, with risk exposure suggested to be placed in active bonds where spreads can compress, such as government bonds and ultra-long government bonds [1][8][40] Group 2 - For bond selection, the report emphasizes prioritizing long-term interest rate bonds, particularly focusing on 250215. If there is a higher frequency demand for duration adjustment, 25T6 should be considered. For higher yield bonds like 25T5 and 25T3, attention should gradually decrease as spreads compress further [2][10][12] - In the context of credit bonds, the report notes that the spread between 3-5 year credit bonds and government bonds is already low, indicating limited room for further compression. It is suggested to focus on mid-term government bonds for short-term capital gains, while mid to long-term credit bonds may offer better value for long-term holding [3][13] Group 3 - The report indicates that the current overall IRR level of government bond futures is slightly higher than the funding rate, with most futures contracts being relatively expensive compared to cash bonds. The strategy of focusing on the compression of spreads between government bonds and government-backed bonds is recommended [4][14] - The report highlights that the bond market has maintained a volatile trend, with government bonds showing stronger performance.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating [1][7] Core Viewpoints - After the holiday, the bond market continued to recover because the two reasons for the bond market adjustment in the third quarter had subsided: the deflation repair expectation was fully priced, and there was an expectation of regulatory policy loosening [6][9] - From the perspective of institutional behavior, if only the trading desks shift from defense to offense without the cooperation of allocation desks, the bond market recovery will not be significant. Last week, while the funding rate and Treasury bond rate both declined, the certificate of deposit (CD) rate rebounded from a low level, which is indicative of bank behavior and worthy of attention [6][9] - After the holiday, the issuance of CDs by various banks showed a simultaneous increase in volume and price, which may be due to two reasons: First, joint - stock banks and city commercial banks are more eager to catch up on CD issuance progress as their cumulative issuance scale is lower. Second, banks are pessimistic about their fourth - quarter asset - liability relationship, and large - scale banks are more likely to face this pressure [6][9] - If the first reason dominates, the CD issuance will be sensitive to the issuance price, and the primary market will shift from an increase in both volume and price to an increase in volume with stable or decreasing prices. If the second reason dominates, the CD issuance will be insensitive to the price, and the increase in both volume and price in the primary market will continue [6][10] - If the second situation dominates, it means that banks face significant asset - liability pressure, and their willingness to allocate bonds will not increase significantly, which will also affect the bond market recovery. Therefore, it is recommended to focus on the interest rate changes in the CD market. If the central bank strengthens its monetary policy to help solve banks' liability problems, bond yields are expected to decline more rapidly [6][10] Summary by Directory 1. Bond Market Weekly Viewpoint: Focus on CD Interest Rate Changes - The bond market continued to recover after the holiday due to the subsiding of the two factors causing the third - quarter adjustment. The analysis can refer to the previous report "The bond market will turn around in the fourth quarter, but it won't be an overnight success" [9] - The rebound of CD rates last week while other rates declined is worthy of attention as it reflects bank behavior [9] - The two possible reasons for the increase in CD issuance volume and price after the holiday are related to catching up on issuance progress and pessimistic asset - liability expectations [9] 2.
