which of the following bonds has the most price risk which has the most reinvestment risk
James K.
In this chapter we discussed short-term U.S. government bonds. But the U.S. government also issues longer-term bonds with horizons of up to 30 years. Why do 20 -year bonds issued by the U.S. government have lower rates of return than 20 -year bonds issued by corporations? And which would you consider more likely, that longer-term U.S. government bonds have a higher interest rate than short-term U.S. government bonds, or vice versa? Explain.
