Jin10 data reported on August 14th that the macro research report from China Merchants states that recently, the equity market has created emotional suppression on the bond market, making stock trading a major factor affecting interest rate trends. However, due to the different pricing foundations of the two asset classes, the stock-bond seesaw is merely a phenomenon and not a rule, which will make it difficult for stock trading to sustain bond trading. From the underlying logic, the supply and demand of money remains the fundamental influence on the price of money (i.e., interest rate). Looking ahead, as the financing demand from the real sector weakens and the Central Bank continues to maintain ample liquidity, there is a lack of a sustained upward basis for interest rates, and the 1.7% yield on ten-year bonds still represents a window period for getting on board. The disclosure of financial data during this period has further strengthened our judgment of being bullish on the bond market; what is needed now may just be confidence and time.
