Trade the Yield Curve - Overview
What makes the bond market work? What, on occasion, causes it to break down? And what would you have done in a real-life situation from the bond market's history?
This simulation takes participants through a particularly famous 6-month period in the bond market's history. Participants decide in teams on the best yield curve plays to execute using data forecasts, news reports and a reference manual which explains the major economic data used in the simulation.
Participants gain a deep understanding of how the yield curve shape relates not only to economic fundamentals but also to investor behaviour. In addition, they practise yield curve trading strategies. The simulation also demonstrates how the bond markets can, in reality, be as unpredictable as other asset classes.
The simulation perfectly complements 7city's tutor-led training in fixed income securities.
