Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the industry is "Underperform the Market" [1][4] Core Viewpoints - The U.S. Treasury market is caught in a fierce game between geopolitical risk premiums and data dependence. The market's pricing logic has reversed from narrowing rate - cut expectations to a panic about rate hikes. The interest rate futures market has completely ruled out the possibility of rate cuts this year and started to price in the probability of one rate hike by the Fed in 2026 [1] - Under the dual pressure of inflation return and geopolitical risks, the yields of U.S. Treasuries have risen across the board, and the global bond market has declined in resonance. The U.S. Treasury yield curve shows a bear - steepening characteristic, and the market volatility has increased significantly [2] - Facing the resurgence of core inflation pressure, the Fed may have to abandon the plan of rate cuts this year and may even restart rate hikes in extreme cases. The market expects the Fed to maintain high interest rates for a longer time than previously expected [2] - In the future, the market situation will highly depend on the evolution of the Middle East geopolitical conflict and the trend of inflation data. It is recommended to adopt a dumbbell - shaped defensive strategy [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs U.S. Treasury Benchmark Interest Rate - The yields of 2 - year and 10 - year U.S. Treasuries, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the bid - to - cover ratios of U.S. Treasuries of various maturities, the winning bid rates of 2 - 30 - year U.S. Treasury issuances, the monthly issuance volume of U.S. Treasuries, and the implied rate - hike/rate - cut expectations in the federal funds rate futures market are presented in relevant figures [8][11][17] U.S. Macroeconomic and Liquidity - Figures show the year - on - year inflation trend in the U.S., the annual cumulative fiscal deficit of the U.S. federal government (fiscal year), the U.S. economic surprise index, the U.S. ISM PMI, the U.S. consumer confidence index, the U.S. financial conditions index, the growth rate of U.S. housing rents, the number of U.S. unemployment benefit claimants, the year - on - year growth rate of U.S. hourly wages, the U.S. non - farm payroll data, the year - on - year growth rates of new housing approvals, starts, and sales in the U.S. real estate market, the year - on - year growth rate of U.S. personal consumption expenditure, the U.S. break - even inflation rate, and the MOVE index of U.S. Treasury volatility and the VIX fear index [8][24][37] Exchange Rate - Figures show the one - year trend and recent changes of non - U.S. currencies, the Sino - U.S. sovereign bond yield spread, the relationship between the U.S. dollar index and the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield, the relationship between the U.S. dollar index and the RMB index, and the change in the one - year lock - in cost of the U.S. dollar against the RMB [8][48][56] Chinese - Issued U.S. Dollar Bonds - Figures show the return trends of Chinese - issued U.S. dollar bonds since 2023 (by level and by industry), the yield and spread trends of investment - grade and high - yield Chinese - issued U.S. dollar bonds, and the returns in the past two weeks (by level and by industry) [8][66][71] Rating Actions - In the past two weeks, the three major international rating agencies have taken 11 rating actions on Chinese - issued U.S. dollar bond issuers, including 5 rating cancellations, 4 rating upgrades, and 2 initial ratings [73][74]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the US dollar bond and US stock industries is "Underperform the Market" [1][4] Core Viewpoints - Geopolitical disturbances reshape interest - rate cut expectations, and in the shadow of stagflation, a defensive approach is prioritized [1] - The US bond market is caught in a dual - game of macro - data verification and geopolitical shocks, leading to a significant shift in market policy bets [1] - The Fed faces a dilemma, and inflation expectations are the key variable in determining the future monetary policy [2] - It is recommended to adopt a defensive strategy, focus on short - term bonds, and wait for the geopolitical situation to become clear [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro - Game - The US bond market is deeply involved in the dual - game of macro - data verification and geopolitical shocks. Although the February CPI data met expectations, the surge in energy prices due to Middle - East geopolitical conflicts has increased concerns about secondary inflation and strengthened the expectation of core inflation stickiness [1] - Market policy bets have been significantly revised. The probability that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged in March is nearly 100%, the expected mid - year interest - rate cut window has been postponed, the expected first interest - rate cut has been shifted from June to October or later, and the expected number of interest - rate cuts this year has been reduced from 2 - 3 times to only 1 time [1] Market Performance - The US bond yield curve shows a complex tug - of - war situation. The 10 - year US bond yield fluctuates between 4.1% - 4.3% [2] - High - interest rates, large fiscal deficits, and bond - issuing plans of the US government have made the supply - demand structure of long - term bonds tight, and the attractiveness of US bonds as a traditional safe - haven asset has been suppressed in the short term [2] - Unless geopolitical conflicts lead to a sharp increase in the risk of economic recession and trigger safe - haven buying, the US bond market is likely to maintain a pattern of high volatility and range - bound consolidation [2] Policy Outlook - The Fed will face a difficult choice between combating inflation and promoting growth at next week's meeting. It is expected to keep the federal funds rate in the 3.50% - 3.75% range and avoid making specific commitments about the future path [2] - The current rise in inflation expectations is mainly short - term, and long - term inflation expectations remain stable. The evolution of inflation expectations in the next few months will be the core variable in determining the shift of monetary policy [2] Investment Advice - The future market situation depends highly on the duration of the conflict. If the conflict is short - lived, inflation may resume its downward trend, providing conditions for the Fed to cut interest rates 1 - 2 times in the second half of this year. Otherwise, the high - interest - rate environment may last longer [3] - It is recommended to adopt a defensive strategy, strictly control the duration, take profit when the safe - haven demand surges, focus on 2 - 5 - year short - and medium - term bonds to obtain stable coupons and avoid the risk of sharp interest - rate fluctuations, and wait for the situation and inflation path to become clear [3] Market Trends (Not detailed in the given content, skipped) US Macro - Economy and Liquidity (Not detailed in the given content, only figure references provided, skipped) Exchange Rate (Not detailed in the given content, only figure references provided, skipped) Chinese - Issued US Dollar Bonds - The report shows the return trends of Chinese - issued US dollar bonds since 2023 (by level and industry), as well as the yield and spread trends of investment - grade and high - yield Chinese - issued US dollar bonds [63][71] - It also presents the returns in the past two weeks (by level and industry) [69] Rating Actions - In the past two weeks, the three major international rating agencies took 10 rating actions on Chinese - issued US dollar bond issuers, including 2 rating withdrawals, 5 rating upgrades, 2 rating downgrades, and 1 first - time rating [73]
