In October 2010, you purchased a French government bond for €100 (face value) which pays a 1% coupon (nominal interest rate) every year until 2020. Today, in October 2014, similar bonds are issued at a 2% interest rate. What is the value of your bond today?
This question is based on the following information on a bond: [ Bond Principal: R 5000000 Issue date: 30 June 2021 Maturity date: 15 September 2026 Coupon rate: 7.00% Coupon payment dates: 30 June and 31 December. The bond register closes one month before the coupon payment dates]. Suppose that the bond traded at a market price of R 103.475% for settlement on 10 December 2021 . The number of days from 30 June 2021 to 10 December 2021 is 163 and the number of days from 10 December 2021 to 31 December 2021 is 21 . What is the running yield on the bond? (note: if the answer is 5.55%, answer 5.55). Answer: Answer
a) At 21 February 2018, the US Government could borrow at an annual 10-year yield of 2.89%. At that yield, how much were financial markets paying for the right to receive $100 from the US Government 10 years later?
(b) Suppose a 5-year zero-coupon bond (??? = $100) issued by the US government is currently trading at $90. What is the annual yield an investor would receive for buying such a bond and holding it to maturity?
(c) Suppose the US Federal Reserve (the US Central Bank) wants to lower longer-maturity yields. Briefly explain the process (known as Quantitative Easing) it could use to achieve this.
