China Bonds Weigh by Liquidity, Risk Appetite, Inflation: Citic

(Bloomberg) -- Chinese bonds may continue to adjust lower near term as liquidity tightens and risk appetite picks up, Citic Securities fixed income research team writes in a note today.
  • PBOC injected liquidity last week mainly through MLFs, boosting six-month and one-year funding cost to 2.85% and 3% respectively, higher than 10-yr govt bond yield at ~2.7%
  • Risk appetite is buoyed by Shenzhen-Hong Kong stock link, boosting equity market; bond investors may wait for market correction in near term
  • Domestic inflation may rise on lower base after August due to potential rise in oil prices as global production declines while food prices increase on El Nino
  • Suggests investors stay cautious on bonds until direction of global oil prices and domestic inflation is clearer
  • NOTE: Yield of 2.74% govt bond due Aug 2026 rises 2bps to 2.73%
    • Yield of 2.65% July 2021 bond rises 2 bps to 2.55%
