Markets and Instruments
Internet Exercises| Prepared by William Lim, University of New Brunswick. Go to http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/bonds.htm. Describe the trend over the past year in the yields of:
- Govt. of Canada Marketable Bonds, Avg. Yield: 1-3 Year
- Govt. of Canada Marketable Bonds, Avg. Yield: 3-5 Year
- Govt. of Canada Marketable Bonds, Avg. Yield: 5-10 Year
- Govt. of Canada Marketable Bonds, Avg. Yield: +10 Year
Are the trends of average yields for these marketable bonds of different maturities similar, or different? Why? How do these average yields compare to the benchmark bond yields, that is, bond yields of a specific maturity? |
