| Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Interest rate (A) | 3.00% | 2.75% | 2.50% | 3.00% |
| Term premium (B) | 1.00% | 1.25% | 1.50% | 1.75% |
| Yield to Maturity (A) + (B) | 4.00% | 4.00% | 4.00% | 4.75% |
We will now plot Yield to Maturity (%) vs Maturity (Years)
Since the yield curve is flat over short to medium term (3 years), the economic outlook is stable growth.

Yield curve
Draw the yield curve described as follows: • Interest rates: 1% in year 1; 1.5% in year 2; 2% in year 3; 3.5% in year 4. • Term premiums: 0.5% for a one-year bond, rising by 0.25% for each additional year of maturity. What does this yield curve suggest is the predominant short to medium-term economic outlook among market participants?

Consider the file named yield curves. If the current yield curve is the one represented by Yield Curve 1 (Normal), then we can guess that the bond market participants expect the one-year interest rates one year hence and two years hence to be percent and percent, respectively. On the other hand, if the yield curve was the inverted one, we could conclude that the bond market participants expect the one-year interest rates one year hence and two years hence to...

3. Assume that the current 1-year interest rate is 3%, the expected 1-year rate next year is 2%, and the expected 1-year rate in the following year (3rd year) is 4%. a. Calculate the 2-year interest rate and the 3-year interest rate based on the expectations theory. (Show calculations) b. Draw the yield curve based on your data above. Label your axis and mark the numbers along the axis, so you can read the actual interest rates in your graph....

Analysis of term structure of risk-free interest rates. Year 1 yield 1%, Year 2 yield 2%, Year 3 yield 3%, Year 4 yield is 3.5% Assume you buy 3-year bond above and you sell it after one year. What is the expected return on this investment?

Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 2.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 2.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Using the Yield Curve to Estimate Future Interest Rates You can calculate the yield curve, given inflation and maturity-related risks. Looking at the yield curve you can use the information embedded in it to estimate the market's expectations regarding future inflation, risk, and short-term interest rates. The pure expectations shape of the yield curve depends on investors' expectations about future interest rates. The theory assumes that bond traders establish bond prices and interest rates strictly on the basis of expectations...

eBook Due to a recession, expected Inflation this year is only 2.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 2.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r") is 1.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1? Round your answer to two decimal places.

2. Please draw the current yield curve. Label the current rates for 1, 3, 5, 10, and 30 year securities. Using that curve as the benchmark, draw a current yield curve for AAA and for BBB corporate bonds. What is the spread between the 10- year Treasury and 10-year AAA and BBB curves. Is the current yield curve a "normal" curve? Why or why not?
