The bond has a par value of 9,000 Swiss francs (CHF) and is currently trading at 112.66 (i.e., at 112.66% of par). Letticia plans to hold the bond for a period of 1 year, at which time she thinks it will be trading at 122.53she's anticipating a sharp decline in Swiss interest rates, which explains why she expects bond prices to move up.
