问题如下:
Estimate the corporate bond’s percentage price change if the government yield curve steepens, assuming a 0.20% increase in the 20-year YTM and no change to the 10-year government YTM or corporate G-spread.
选项:
A.–0.40%
0.40%
–0.04%
解释:
A is correct. The 20 bp increase in the 20-year government YTM causes the 12-year interpolated government YTM to rise 4 bps to 1.98% (or (80% × 1.85%) + (20% × 2.50%)).
The corporate bond percentage price change can be estimated based on the YTM change multiplied by modified duration (–ModDur × ΔYield) familiar from earlier lessons. This percentage price change can be calculated as –0.4% (=–9.99 × 0.04%).
Spread从0.86%下降到0.82%, spread变化是0.82-0.86=-0.04%
根据公式,价格变化为-9.99*-0.04=0.4%,是不是选B?
