yield curve sloping

NO.PZ2023040601000065

问题如下:

One interpretation of an upward sloping yield curve is that the returns to short-dated bonds are:

选项:

A.

uncorrelated with bad times.

B.

more positively correlated with bad times than are returns to long-dated bonds.

C.

more negatively correlated with bad times than are returns to long-dated bonds.

解释:

One interpretation of an upward sloping yield curve is that returns to short-dated bonds are more negatively correlated with bad times than are returns to long-dated bonds. This interpretation is based on the notion that investors are willing to pay a premium and accept a lower return for short-dated bonds if they believe that long-dated bonds are not a good hedge against economic “bad times”.

讲义上写的明明是如果expect interest rate to decline, these expectations caused the UK’s yield curve to be downward sloping or inverted.


为什么答案里说是upward啊

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


本题并没有提到有未来利率会下降的预期,引用上的讲义结论也就并不适用于本题。

本题已经明确的说明了yield curve就是upward sloping的,问的哪个选项可以解释这种情况。即无论用哪个选项去解释,yield curve都必然已经是upward的,不会出现downward sloping。
