- O If the market interest rate (i) increases today, the Price of a Bond (P) today will decline. The following are correct statements about the impact of Market Interest Rate (i*) on value and return of a typical Coupon Bond, EXCEPT: The YTM of a Bond and the Market Interest Rate (i*) are the same value, even in the Short Term. O For a long term bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase, the current Price of such Bond will Decline. For a two period Bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase in the next period, the Expected Total Return (RET) on such bond will decline.
