If the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, what would you expect to happen to the price of outstanding bonds?

Respuesta :

Answer: decrease

Explanation:

It should be noted that there is an inverse relationship between bonds and interest rate. This implies that when there is a rise in interest rates, the prices of bond will fall and when there is a fall in interest rates, the prices of bond will rise.

Since bonds typically pay fixed interest rate, this will becomes more attractive when there's a fall in interest rates and more investors will demand for bond which will invariably lead to rise in price.
