contribution to spread durantoin:credit sector is 1.1,treasury  sector is 0

Forecast1:spreads to narrow in all other spread sectors

Forecast2:a positively sloped yield curve with short rates rising 25 basis points and long rates rising by about 75 basis points.

ans:lengthen duration in credit sector and shorten it in the treasury sector

虽然forecast1 说spread to narrow，所以asset price will go up

但Forecast2也说了rates rising啊，asset price不会下跌吗？

对的，narrow 表示credit的相比treasury， spread premium 降低，表示credit价格升高，
而第2仅是对treasury来讲，长期的价格会下降

Hang-Directions

Forecast 2 implied a non-parallel shift movement, rather a parallel change that can be hedged by duration adjustment.

   hedges interest risk，不是应该short duration in credit sector吗？credit sector 的duration比treasury sector大啊。

Forecast1里说了“spreads to narrow in all other spread sectors”，所以credit 会outperform -- 这就需要我们lengthen spread duration

Forecast2里的主要提到的是随着利率提高而造成的interest rate risk, 所以要shorten duration来规避利率风险
