China Bond Market Rallies as 30-Year Yield Falls Over 1.5 Basis Points
China's bond market rallied on September 24, with the 30-year government bond yield falling over 1.5 basis points to near 2.10% and the 10-year yield edging down to 1.6670%. Treasury futures closed higher across the board, led by the 30-year contract rising 0.31%. The rally was attributed to the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) oversized Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) rollover and plans for overnight reverse repo operations from September 28 to October 8 with a daily cap of 1 trillion yuan. The PBOC conducted a net injection of 439.7 billion yuan on September 28 to ensure quarter-end liquidity.

China Bond Market Weakens Slightly; PBOC Injects Net 439.7 Billion Yuan for Quarter-End Liquidity
China's bond market edged lower on Monday (September 28), with treasury futures closing broadly down and yields on longer-dated bonds rising slightly while short-term yields were stable. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) conducted a net injection of 439.7 billion yuan through open market operations, including 7-day, overnight, and 14-day reverse repos, ensuring ample liquidity for the quarter-end period. Short-term interbank rates (Shibor) mostly declined. Analysts from Huatai Securities and Guosheng Securities offered views: Huatai noted that the renminbi's recent rally is driven by settlement capital flows rather than the China-US rate spread, and expects the currency to strengthen steadily, which is positive for bond market liquidity; they see limited trading room for 10-year and shorter bonds but still favor ultra-long bonds. Guosheng believes ultra-long bond yields have not yet peaked and may continue to decline, supported by lower government bond supply expectations and reduced bank deposit pressure. Overseas, US Treasury yields mostly fell, while Japanese yields rose.
China Bond Market Rallies as 30-Year Yield Drops Over 1.5 Basis Points
China's bond market performed strongly on September 24, with long-end yields declining broadly as stock markets retreated. The 30-year government bond yield fell over 1.5 basis points to near 2.10%, while the 10-year yield edged down 0.40 basis points to 1.6670%. Treasury futures closed higher across the board, led by the 30-year contract which rose 0.31%. Analysts attributed the resilience to the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) liquidity support measures, including an oversized Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) operation announced late yesterday and plans for overnight reverse repo operations from September 28 to October 8 with a daily cap of 1 trillion yuan, aimed at smoothing quarter-end and holiday funding. Despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, the domestic market showed strength, with the compression opportunity for 30-year ultra-long bond spreads continuing to materialize. In open market operations, the PBOC conducted 51.5 billion yuan in 7-day reverse repos at 1.40%, resulting in a net drain of 110.5 billion yuan given 162 billion yuan in maturities. Short-term Shibor rates mostly edged up, with the overnight rate at 1.364%.
