Observation 3：The current yield curve for Country Y suggests that the business cycle is in the slowdown phase, with bond yields starting to reflect contractionary conditions.
Based on Observation 3, Wakuluk most likely expects Country Y’s yield curve in the near term to:
选项：
A.invert B. flatten C.steepen
解释：
Correct Answer: C
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.

正确答案:C
C正确。Y国当前的收益率曲线表明，商业周期正处于放缓阶段(曲线从平坦到倒挂)，债券收益率开始反映紧缩状况(即债券收益率正在下降)。这条曲线很可能在短期内变得更陡，与商业周期向收缩阶段的过渡相一致，并且在初始复苏阶段的尖端是最陡的。
老师，是不是马上要进入contraction，于是会有stimulative/ expansionary monetary policy, 也就是降息，短期r下降比长期更多，所以yield curve steepen
