Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market has shown low - volatility oscillations this week. Over the past two months, the bond market has recovered to some extent, with the 10 - year Treasury bond yield dropping from 1.90% on January 7th to 1.78% on March 6th [6][12]. - The 10 - year tax spread has not compressed despite the decline in interest rates. As of March 6th, the spread was 17.85bp, at the 97.2% high - percentile point since 2024.

If the optimistic sentiment in the bond market continues, there is a large compression space for the 10 - year China Development Bank bond tax spread [6][13]. - Banks are increasing the trading volume of 10 - year China Development Bank bonds. The profit - taking power of banks cannot be ignored [6][13]. - Maintain the previous view that the bond market can be more optimistic.

Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 This Week's Bond Market Review - The bond market showed low - volatility oscillations this week. In the past two months, it has recovered, and the 10 - year Treasury bond yield declined from 1.90% on January 7th to 1.78% on March 6th [6][12]. - The 10 - year tax spread did not compress. As of March 6th, it was at a high - percentile point. The weak performance of China Development Bank bonds may be due to the capital flow change of public - offering funds' liability side and their defensive mindset. From the beginning of the year to March 6th, public - offering funds only net - bought 238 billion yuan of 10 - year China Development Bank bonds in the secondary market, while the net - buying of other 3 - 5 - year bonds (mainly Tier 2 and perpetual bonds) reached 2075 billion yuan. Also, the pure - bond funds are in a defensive state [6][12]. 3.2 Outlook on Future Market Trends - The tax spreads of 3 - year, 5 - year, and 7 - year bonds have improved. From February 28th to March 6th, their quantiles have decreased. The 10 - year China Development Bank bond spread quantile is still at a high level, and if the market sentiment improves, there is a large compression space [6][13]. - Banks are increasing the trading volume of 10 - year China Development Bank bonds. From March 2nd to March 6th, securities firms, funds, and other institutions have increased their allocations, and large - scale banks' net - selling is more significant. The profit - taking power of banks cannot be ignored [6][13]. - Maintain the view that the bond market can be more optimistic. For duration extension, the active bonds of 10 - year China Development Bank bonds and 30 - year Treasury bonds are good choices [7][13].

Group 1 - The report presents an optimistic outlook for the bond market, particularly for 30-year government bonds, due to low risk of market correction in March and April, supported by recent monetary easing expectations and stable liquidity conditions [5][6]. - The analysis indicates that the 10-year government bonds are less favorable compared to 10-year policy bank bonds, as the latter shows higher trading volume and a widening tax spread since 2025, suggesting better capital gains potential in a bullish market [6]. - The report highlights the under-participation of public funds in 30-year government bonds, with only 31.5 billion yuan held by public funds compared to 63.3 billion yuan by large banks, indicating potential for excess rate declines if public funds increase their allocation [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints - The report is overall optimistic about the bond market, especially the 30-year Treasury bonds [5][12]. - The callback risk of the bond market from March to April is not high [5][12]. - The 10-year China Development Bank bonds are more promising than the 10-year Treasury bonds [5][13]. - The 30-year Treasury bonds are expected to have an excessive decline in interest rates if product accounts gradually participate in the allocation [5][14]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Event - Amid geopolitical disturbances recently, the stock market is weak while the bond market is strong. As of March 4, the yield to maturity of the active 10-year Treasury bond has declined to around 1.79% [11]. Comment Low Callback Risk from March to April - The February PMI is lower than market expectations and has declined month-on-month. In the short term, fundamentals have limited suppressing effects on the bond market [5][12]. - Market expectations for loose monetary policy have risen. Investors expect reserve - requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts during the Two Sessions. As of March 3, the capital lending volume of large banks has rebounded to 5.63 trillion yuan after the holiday. The short - term interest rate was strong on March 4, with the TS contract main - continuous rising 5% on a single day [5][12]. - Attention should be paid to potential geopolitical fluctuations and the historical stock - bond calendar effect from March to April [5][12]. Preference for 10 - year China Development Bank Bonds over 10 - year Treasury Bonds - The liquidity of 10 - year Treasury bonds is under test. On March 4, the trading volume of the active 10 - year Treasury bond 250022 was only 354 transactions, while that of the 10 - year China Development Bank bond 250220 reached 2484 transactions [5][13]. - The tax spread between 10 - year China Development Bank bonds and 10 - year Treasury bonds has been widening since 2025. If the liability side of public funds eases and the bearish bond market expectation weakens, the tax spread of various maturities is expected to compress [5][13]. Optimism about 30 - year Treasury Bonds - As of the end of February, public funds only held 315 billion yuan of the secondary - market position of the active bond 2500006, while large banks held 633 billion yuan. If product accounts gradually participate in the allocation of ultra - long bonds, the interest rate of this variety will decline excessively [5][14]. - Banks will gradually reduce their willingness to lend bonds around mid - to - late March to optimize first - quarter statement indicators. Currently, the net borrowing volume of securities firms in 30 - year Treasury bonds is at a new high, and the subsequent decline will drive short - covering forces [5][14].

Group 1 - The report highlights two key issues to focus on in March's bond market: the impact of Middle Eastern conflicts on asset correlations and the potential for easing in domestic monetary policy [7][36][37] - Current pricing indicates that the 10-year government bond yield is slightly below 1.8%, with limited market enthusiasm for further buying, as evidenced by profit-taking sentiments after the holiday leading to a rise in yields [7][36] - The report anticipates that geopolitical risks may lead to a temporary decline in bond yields, with a low point expected around 1.75% for the 10-year government bond [7][36][37] Group 2 - Investment opportunities in bonds include high-odds trading positions in 10-year government bonds, 30-year active government bonds, and 50-year government bonds, which are expected to perform well if the bond market does not face significant adjustment pressure [12][37] - Credit bonds are highlighted for their demand potential, particularly with an upcoming opening period for certain bond funds, which may increase the allocation demand for 3-5 year credit bonds [12][37] - Short-term bonds are expected to remain stable while waiting for potential easing opportunities, as short-end rates are low and the adjustment pressure is minimal [12][37] Group 3 - The report outlines six strategies for bond selection, including focusing on high-frequency trading options and long-end government bonds, as well as specific recommendations for various bond codes [15][37] - For floating rate bonds, attention is drawn to specific bonds that present low risk but also limited excess returns, making them attractive for money market funds [15][37] - The report notes that the current market conditions suggest a cautious approach to bond trading, with a focus on managing the timing of trades effectively [16][37] Group 4 - The bond market's weekly review indicates a slight increase in bond yields, primarily driven by strong performance in equities post-holiday and profit-taking sentiments among bond investors [18][36] - The report provides a comparative analysis of bond valuations against other asset classes, indicating that bond yields are relatively low compared to some equity sectors and commodities [26][36] - The report's predictive models suggest a cautious outlook for the bond market, with a shift to a bearish stance in the primary model due to recent trading patterns [23][36]

Report Information - Report Date: January 25, 2026 [1] - Report Title: Bond Research Weekly Report: "Short Squeeze" in 30-Year Treasury Bonds [2] - Analysts: Yan Ziqi, Hong Ziyan [6] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views - The bond market was strong from January 19th to 23rd, with the 30-year Treasury bond standing out. The yield of the active bond 2500006 dropped nearly 5bp, mainly on the 20th and 21st. There was a "short squeeze" in the 30-year Treasury bond market [7][13]. - The "short squeeze" was triggered by short sellers covering their positions due to the downward trend of interest rates. The high bond lending volume at the beginning of the week and the non - exceeding - expectation of the press conference on Tuesday led to a downward trend in interest rates, and the short - covering by securities firms exacerbated the decline [7][13]. - The "short squeeze" can be verified from multiple perspectives, including the trading volume hitting a new high, event - driven and short - covering on the 20th, fund chasing on the 21st, and the spread strategy being one of the reasons for the increase in bond lending volume [7][14]. - In the future, the trading volume in the bond market will remain strong, and the spread strategy may become more popular. If the interest rate of new bonds is high after issuance, the current active bonds may be lent and sold more, and attention should be paid to the upward risk of interest rates. If the interest rate does not rise, attention should be paid to the excess buying power brought by short - covering after the downward signal of interest rates [8][15]. Summary by Directory 1. This Week's Bond Market Review - The bond market was strong from January 19th to 23rd, with the 30-year Treasury bond being prominent. The yield of the active bond 2500006 dropped nearly 5bp, mainly on the 20th and 21st. There was a "short squeeze" in the 30-year Treasury bond market. The "short squeeze" was caused by short sellers covering their positions due to the downward trend of interest rates, and the short - covering by securities firms exacerbated the decline [7][13]. - The "short squeeze" can be verified from four perspectives: after the lending volume hit a new high, the trading volume was difficult to push down the price; on the 20th, the event and short - covering drove the 30-year Treasury bond yield down rapidly; on the 21st, fund chasing made the 30-year Treasury bond continue to be strong; the spread strategy may be one of the reasons for the increase in bond lending volume, and the spread between 260002 and 2500006 narrowed from 8.4bp on January 15th to 4.7bp on January 23rd [7][14][15]. 2.

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the bond market and local government economic policies in China. Core Points and Arguments 1. **Current Bond Market Outlook**: The bond market should not be overly pessimistic, suggesting a neutral duration strategy and focusing on opportunities from increased allocation and interest rate cut expectations. The spread between 30-year and 10-year bonds is approaching 50 basis points, indicating potential for recovery [1][2][3]. 2. **Investment Recommendations**: - Focus on 5-year positive capital bonds, 5-10 year perpetual bonds, and high-rate long-term bonds. - The 30-year old bonds are more cost-effective compared to new bonds, and the 50-year government bonds present better opportunities [1][4]. 3. **Government Support for Local Projects**: Local governments are advancing project construction tailored to regional needs, with the Ministry of Finance emphasizing increased fiscal spending and financial collaboration to support local projects [1][7][8]. 4. **Debt Management and Wage Issues**: The government is addressing wage arrears for private enterprises and migrant workers to ensure smooth consumption during the Spring Festival. Measures include monitoring, data reporting, and credit penalties [2][9]. 5. **Banking Sector's Role**: Banks are actively providing liquidity loans to city investment companies to help repay project debts, indicating progress in debt clearance efforts [2][10]. 6. **Service Sector Development**: The business department is focusing on specific industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, and tourism in selected pilot cities to promote economic growth [2][11]. 7. **Fiscal Policy for 2026**: The fiscal policy will remain proactive, with a projected deficit rate around 10% of GDP, emphasizing job creation and timely repayment of debts to support various projects [2][17]. 8. **Investment in Major Projects**: The government plans to increase central budget investments significantly, targeting major engineering projects with high leverage effects [2][13]. 9. **Monitoring and Auditing**: The audit office will focus on the management of fiscal funds, especially in key sectors like energy and local government debt, to prevent systemic risks [2][14]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Economic Growth Indicators**: The construction business activity index rose from 49.0 to 52.8, driven by early project approvals and new financial tools [2][12]. 2. **Measures to Increase Resident Income**: Specific initiatives in Anhui province aim to enhance income through job creation, support for entrepreneurs, and improved social security policies [2][20]. 3. **Support for Private Enterprises**: The government is implementing various financial measures to support private enterprises, including low-interest loans and quick debt issuance channels for small and medium enterprises [2][21].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the performance of the 30-year government bond, highlighting its unique position in the market characterized by high elasticity and liquidity, which has led to a "negative premium" situation [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Since December 2025, the yield on the 10-year government bond has fluctuated, returning to 1.83%, while the 10-year policy bank bond increased from 1.90% to 1.96%, and the 30-year government bond surged from 2.19% to 2.30% [1]. - The high elasticity and liquidity of the 30-year and 10-year bonds make them preferred for flexible trading strategies, allowing for easier execution of hedging strategies [1][2]. Group 2: Strategic Insights - In a rising interest rate environment, the 30-year government bond faces directional trading challenges, but it is also a key instrument for various hedging strategies, including credit bonds and local government bonds [2]. - The borrowing and selling volume of the 30-year government bond has seen significant growth, with borrowing rates reaching 140-150 basis points [2]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The potential for the 30-year government bond yield spread to recover depends on three scenarios: a sharp rebound, stable interest rate expectations, and central bank interventions [3]. - The upcoming market conditions may favor strategies that involve holding high coupon, low elasticity, and low liquidity bonds, particularly around the Spring Festival [3].

Group 1 - The report highlights the expectation of rising interest rates and how low premiums on elasticity and liquidity, as well as "negative" premiums, can be addressed [1] - The 30-year government bond has shown weakness compared to the 10-year government bond, with the yield rising from 2.19% to 2.30% since early December 2025, while the 10-year government bond yield fluctuated around 1.83% [7][11] - The report suggests that high elasticity and liquidity characteristics of the 30-year bond may lead to greater potential losses during rising interest rate periods, making it less favorable in the current market environment [8][14] Group 2 - The report discusses the factors contributing to the "negative premium" of the 30-year government bond, emphasizing that high liquidity and elasticity can lead to a lower or negative premium, contrary to traditional pricing logic [12][14] - It notes that the supply of long-term bonds is increasing, with expectations of continued high issuance of super long-term bonds, which may not alleviate market concerns [21][24] - Demand for super long-term government bonds remains weak, particularly among large banks, which may limit their purchasing power in the secondary market [26][31] Group 3 - The report outlines three scenarios for the future performance of the 30-year government bond, including potential rapid rebounds or adjustments based on market conditions and central bank actions [39][43] - It indicates that the 30-year bond may experience a quick downward adjustment in yields, with a potential narrowing of the 30-10Y spread to around 40 basis points [45] - The report suggests that strategies involving the 30-year bond may be more suitable for hedging purposes, especially if market conditions remain uncertain leading up to the Spring Festival [46]

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content about the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The bond market had a "bad start" in 2026. On January 9th, the yield to maturity of the 10-year Treasury bond rose to around 1.88% compared to the beginning of the year. The report focuses on potential changes in market institutional behaviors and makes three subsequent judgments [6][14]. - The bond market continues to "depend on funds for ups and downs", but large banks have joined the secondary allocation of long-term and ultra-long-term bonds since late December 2025, which is an uncommon change in history. From January 4th to January 9th, funds sold over 300 billion yuan of bonds, pushing interest rates up, while large banks significantly increased their net purchases of 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds [6][14]. - Looking ahead, the 10-year Treasury bond may become more "low-volatility" as banks hold significantly more Treasury bonds than funds for the 10-year term, making it easier to play a stabilizing role. The difference in volatility (10Y CDB + 30Y Treasury - 2 * 10Y Treasury) has been rising since the second half of 2025 and is expected to continue [6][16]. - The low volatility of the 10-year Treasury bond may keep its trading volume at a relatively low level as trading desks gradually switch to other varieties. The trading volume of the 10-year Treasury bond may continue to be at a relatively low level in the future [9][19]. - The spread between the 30-year Treasury bond and the 10-year CDB bond may further widen. Under the influence of supply and demand, the spread between the 30-year and 10-year Treasury bonds still has a widening trend, while the spread between the 10-year CDB and 10-year Treasury bonds may see the decline of some previous liquidity premiums due to the decrease in the trading volume of the 10-year Treasury bond, driving the implied tax rate to a relatively low level [9][19]. - Overall, the low volatility of the 10-year Treasury bond may enhance its defensive attributes, turning it into an asset with liquidity, duration, and relatively small fluctuations. The bond market is likely to remain in a volatile trend in the future [8][19]. Summary by Relevant Catalog 1. This Week's Bond Market Review - The bond market had a "bad start" in 2026. The 10-year Treasury bond yield to maturity rose to around 1.88% on January 9th compared to the beginning of the year. The report focuses on potential changes in market institutional behaviors and makes three subsequent judgments [6][14]. - The bond market continues to "depend on funds for ups and downs", but large banks have joined the secondary allocation of long-term and ultra-long-term bonds since late December 2025, which is an uncommon change in history. From January 4th to January 9th, funds sold over 300 billion yuan of bonds, pushing interest rates up, while large banks significantly increased their net purchases of 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds [6][14]. - The change may be traced back to the first-quarter 2025 Monetary Policy Implementation Report. In September 2025, the central bank optimized the evaluation system for primary dealers, adding the "performance in stabilizing the market during bond market fluctuations". It is expected that large banks will further join small and medium-sized banks as trading counterparts to non-bank institutions [15]. - Three judgments on the impact of this change: the 10-year Treasury bond may become more "low-volatility"; its trading volume may remain at a relatively low level; the spread between the 30-year Treasury bond and the 10-year CDB bond may further widen. Overall, the bond market is likely to remain in a volatile trend [6][9][16]. 2.
