# Bond ETF scale and trading volume increase simultaneously, becoming a temporary "safe haven" for funds

Amid market fluctuations, funds have once again turned to defensive assets, with bond ETFs becoming an important vehicle for hedging demand.

In the past month, influenced by the repeated volatility of market conditions and a decline in risk appetite, market fund allocation has become cautious, putting pressure on equity assets and shifting funds towards defensive assets. Against this backdrop, bond ETFs have continued to attract capital inflows, with both scale and trading volume expanding, becoming a temporary "safe haven" for funds.

Institutions generally believe that, regarding the current bond market, since it is still in a phase where liquidity and fundamental factors are intertwined, short-term attention should be paid to structural disturbances caused by tax periods and supply pressures. In the medium term, there is a game between inflation expectations and economic recovery, and the overall allocation strategy remains defensive, with short to medium duration coupon strategies likely to remain the main focus
