问题如下:
A manufacturing company receives a ratings upgrade and the price increases on its fixed-rate bond. The price increase was most likely caused by a(n):
选项:
A.decrease in the bond’s credit spread.
B.increase in the bond’s liquidity spread.
C.increase of the bond’s underlying benchmark rate.
解释:
A is correct.
The price increase was most likely caused by a decrease in the bond’s credit spread. The ratings upgrade most likely reflects a lower expected probability of default and/or a greater level of recovery of assets if default occurs. The decrease in credit risk results in a smaller credit spread. The increase in the bond price reflects a decrease in the yield-to maturity due to a smaller credit spread. The change in the bond price was not due to a change in liquidity risk or an increase in the benchmark rate.
这道题price上升(卖的贵了)是不是这个债券的coupon-rate就会下降?
