Inflation and asset returns (On Page 91, Book 2 of Schweser)
about inflation and bond price;
Schweser says;
Inflation is negative for bonds.
I know the relationship with bond price and INTEREST RATE.
but what with INFLATION??
economic expansion–interest rate rise–bond price drops
economic expansion–high inflation–bond price drops??
is there any direct relationship between inflation and interest rate?
please explain the mechanism.. |
