QUESTION 1a

In class, we discussed the interest rate on sovereign debt around the world as well as in the United States. Which of the following is true regarding negative interest rates?

		While there may be some theoretical discussion regarding negative interest rates on sovereign debt, they will never occur in real life as a quote or a trade because no rational investor would ever purchase a bond with a guaranteed loss because of negative interest rates.
		Negative interest rates may be quoted for a very short time on sovereign debt, but actual trades will always have a positive interest rate.
		Negative interest rates on some international sovereign debt has existed in the world for several years, but today there are only about three major countries with negative interest rates on their sovereign debt.
		The interest rate on 10-Year U.S. Treasury bonds is currently negative, but the 30-Year bonds have a positive interest rate.
		The interest rate on both 10-Year U.S. Treasury bonds and 30-Year Treasury bonds is currently negative, which causes some economists to forecast a possible recession next year.
