A 10 year Treasury bond with face value of $1000 is currently offering 8% annual coupon rate and 6% yield to maturity. Which of the following statements about the bond is NOT true?
Correct answer: b. A year from now if the yield to maturity stays the same, the market price of the bond will be higher than what it is today.
Yield rate is less than Coupon rate thus market price of bond is higher than its Face value.

Thus, next year market price of bond would be lower than current year price.
