DMI News 31 July 2024 ——

 

Recently, offshore LGFV bonds have seen active trading, with Dim Sum bonds yielding between 4.5% and 12% attracting significant investor attention. However, Dim Sum bonds with yields exceeding 12% have shown varied market demand due to issuer quality differences. Analysts suggest that this is likely due to differences in channel costs and investor structure rather than bond maturity. 

 

In 2024H1, the LGFV Dim Sum bond market has experienced strong supply and demand, surpassing LGFV USD bonds in issuance volume despite weaker issuer quality. The continuous shortage of LGFV USD bonds has led to relatively calm trading compared to Dim Sum bonds, with overall demand remaining stable, except for some lower-quality issuers.

 

DMI News了解到,近两周城投境外债交投活跃,较此前有显著提升。尤其是高收益点心债,由于通道成本、投资者结构以及投资策略的差异,市场需求出现明显分化。
 

有交易员表示,收益率在4.5%-6%区间的点心债极为抢手;收益率在6%-8%的点心债性价比较高,被市场迅速消化;收益率在10%-12%区间的点心债资质尚可,流动性良好,也吸引了大量投资者关注;收益率超过12%的点心债,其发行人的资质较为参差不齐,市场需求分化,收益率高达15%的点心债主体多为特殊地区。

 

近来,除了364D短债可能存在溢价外,债券期限对市场需求的影响并不显著。一位机构人士分析认为,需求分化可能是由于通道成本和投资者结构的差异导致。据DM此前的调研结果显示,QDII通道费用约为1.5%-3%,而TRS通道费用为4%以上。收益率在4%以下的点心债在扣除通道成本后,与境内城投债相比利差极小。而收益率在8%以上的发行人可能存在结构化发行,且发行人资质较差,参与的投资机构更多为私募。除银行自营外,收益率在4.5%-6%区间的点心债适配所有类型的投资人,因此热度也更高。

 

与此同时,城投美元债的交投相较于点心债则显得较为平静。从近期的市场情况来看,城投美元债券整体需求稳健。一方面,供给稀缺性导致了连续几个月的供不应求,仅有部分资质较差主体的市场需求不佳。另一方面,134号文利好消息带动了城投板块积极情绪。美元债买盘在3Y内,收益率5.8%以上较为集中。

 

高盛在最近的市场点评中指出,尽管城投美元债自6月以来利差有所扩大,但并非由特定信用风险导致,尤其是年初以来境内城投债的利差保持收紧状态。

 

一位交易员认为,今年上半年城投点心债市场呈现供需两旺的情形,发行规模远超城投美元债,但发行主体资质相较更弱,多为弱资质区县级无评级主体。当前的市场环境下,交易策略多数倾向于利差交易,而非长期持有。持有到期的投资者通常来自资产管理部门,通过结构化票据投资城投债,对收益率的要求相对宽松。
