Q. All things being equal if the shape of the yield curve changes from upward sloping to flattening, the value of the call option embedded in Bond 2 (callable bond) will most likely
a. decrease
b. remains unchanged
c. increase
As per the book it is mentioning option c is correct
Please confirm if the yield curve flattens then the value call option will increase thereby reducing the value of callable bond. If this concept is correct then why is option a is not provided as the correct option as per the CFA material
Yes, when curve flattens call option value will increase and the Callable bond value will decrease. Since the question is asking specifically about the call option alone (Not the bond) the value will
Yes, when curve flattens call option value will increase and the Callable bond value will decrease. Since the question is asking specifically about the call option alone (Not the bond) the value will increase. So Choice is not correct. Choice C is the right answer.
