Market Overview and Bond Recommendations

On October 24, 2023, the fixed-income market showed volatility, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield touching 5% before retreating. Chinese buyers exhibited strong interest in high-quality LGFVs (lessors' guaranteed financial vehicles) and major banks' AT1 securities, driven by favorable risk-return profiles. In the Chinese leasing sector, analysts recommend initiating buy positions on Fresh K's various bonds (e.g., Fresh K 2 5/8 '24 and 3 3/8 '25 with yields of 9.1% and 10.4%, respectively), BCLMHK Floating Rate Notes (at around 6.6-6.8% yields), and CDBFLC's bond (yielding 6.9% with a potential yield pick-up of 117-142bps). Macro news highlighted weak U.S. indices (S&P down 0.17%, Dow down 0.58%) and a Euro-zone consumer confidence index of -179. Overall market activity included tight spreads in Chinese SOEs, mixed performance across regions, and specific events like U.S. downgrades and corporate actions.
