Answer:
A) market interest rates are high and falling
Explanation:
Bonds and interest rates have an indirect relationship. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.
Bonds pay interests on a fixed rate. When market interest rates are rising, investors will prefer investing in other options due their high return as opposed to the fixed returns from bonds. Bonds become less attractive, leading to a decline in prices.
Buying Bonds when the interests are rising means buying at a cheaper rate. When interest rates start falling, bond prices will rise again due to their inverse relationship.
Capital gains occur when an investment is bought at a lower price and sold at a higher price. Buying bonds when interests rate is high and selling when interests are low will lead to capital gains.
