问题如下:
Andrew Rutherford is a fixed-income analyst with Quantum Credit Advisers, an institutional investment management company.
As part of Rutherford’s analysis, he forecasts the real one-year risk-free rate to be0.25% and average inflation over the next year to be 1.5%. A zero-coupon nominal Treasury bond with one year to maturity and a par value of $100 is currently trading at $98.05. Rutherford notes the discrepancy in market pricing relative to his forecasts.
Which implied market expectation most likely accounts for the discrepancy in bond pricing that Rutherford notes?
选项:
A.Inflation uncertainty
Interest rate risk
Credit risk
解释:
A is correct. The breakeven inflation rate incorporates both premiums for expectations about inflation and for the uncertainty of the future inflation environment.
B is incorrect. Interest rate risk is already being incorporated into the term structure of the yield curve and does not need to be separately added.
C is incorrect. Given that this is a Treasury bond, it is considered risk-free and does not include a premium for credit risk.
不是说短期债券不考虑inflation Uncertainty,应该只考虑Expected Inflation Rate吗?而只有期才两个都考虑呀,A为啥对?
