解释:
With the central bank easing and the economy contracting, policy rates will be declining and will be expected to decline further as the central bank aims to counteract downward momentum in the economy. Bond yields also decline but by a lesser amount, so the yield curve steepens. The yield curve will typically continue to steepen during the contraction phase as the central bank continues to ease, reaching its steepest point just before the initial recovery phase.
请问 如果Loose monetary policy 推高了通胀,那nominal interest rate 不应该增加吗?所以yield 不应该也增加吗?
