An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.0% in Year 1, 2.7% in Year 2, and 3.55% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2.35% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.20%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 6.00%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places

Treasury Market

On-the-run securities are the most recently issued securities in the market depth and are therefore traded at some premium. The off-the-run securities are the ones issued just before the most recent ones. The on-the-run securities have a lower yield to the investor than the off-the-run securities.
