1.Whenever market interest rate changes, bond price will change as a response. Explain in details regarding the possible downward or upward pressure on bonds price?
In a nutshell, IR goes up, bond price goes down and vice versa...
2.Many people expect that Chinese RMB will appreciate against US dollar in the forth coming years. Do you think so? Why?
It is your opinion not mine...
but if we look the USDCNY NDF market, yeah, RMB would appreaciate. more and more people are gambling on it...
maybe more could be added from economic point of view...
3.Bond portfolio managers closely monitor the interest rate figure. When the trade deficit figure is higher than anticipated, bond prices typically decline. Explain why the reaction may occur.
When the trade deficit figure is higher, government needs more money. normally they would solve it by issuing more bonds, which could give rise to bond price decline...
