2019-12-13 12:01老師在課堂上說到 slowdown phase in the economic cycle. Bond yield is likely inverted. 在reading 10 中 practice problem 第8題: "Based on Observation 3, Wakuluk most likely expects Country Y’s yield curve in the near term to:" A. invert. B. flatten. C. steepen. C is correct. The current yield curve for Country Y suggests that the business cycle is in the slowdown phase (curve is flat to inverted), with bond yields starting to reflect contractionary conditions (i.e., bond yields are declining). The curve will most likely steepen near term, consistent with the transition to the contractionary phase of the business cycle, and be the steepest on the cusp of the initial recovery phase. 請問為什麼不能選 A? 謝謝

同學(xué)你好,請注意表格中的信息,表頭是預(yù)期接下來的經(jīng)濟階段Y國是contractionary ,那就意味著投資者會更多的配置債券,尤其是長期債券(基于長期的經(jīng)濟預(yù)期),從而使得長期債券價格上升,而收益率曲線繼續(xù)向下,在經(jīng)濟達(dá)到開始復(fù)蘇之前是變得最為陡峭的。

長期債卷價格上升代表長端收益率下降,短期利率在經(jīng)濟擴張後期不是應(yīng)該是peaking , 那長期利收益率下降,短期上升,那應(yīng)該收益率曲線會inverted?

同學(xué)你好,你這里理解的也沒錯,但是你說的是上一個階段slowdown,在這個階段,短期利率達(dá)到頂點peak,而長端利率是下降的。所以可能會出現(xiàn)flatten,甚至invert。到這里你理解的沒問題。
但是這道題涉及兩個階段,根據(jù)主人公的描述,該國當(dāng)前是slowdown,所以短期利率不會再上升了達(dá)到peak,已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了contraction的特征,就意味著短期利率會下降,所以是steepen
