Citi Research has advised investors to adopt a 'long' position on China’s 30-year government bonds, signaling confidence that these assets will appreciate in value. In a research note published Monday, the bank’s analysts projected that yields for 30-year Chinese sovereign debt will decline toward 1.8 percent, while 10-year yields are expected to trend toward 1.6 percent.

This recommendation stands in contrast to the current trajectory of US Treasury yields, which have been climbing. Citi attributes its positive outlook for Chinese debt to a reduction in supply pressures and a shift in market dynamics within China. By suggesting that investors go long, Citi is essentially betting that the price of these bonds will rise as their yields fall, despite the broader global environment of rising interest rates in the United States.
