If a bond is trading at 102.00 and its call price is 102.00, why might the YTW still be lower than the coupon rate?

  1. Because the bond is far more likely to be put back to the issuer by the holder before then.
  2. Because the broader bond market currently expects interest rates to rise.
  3. Because the YTM (which factors in a pull to par at 100.00) is lower than the coupon.
  4. Because the yield to the call date factors in the loss of the entire 2-point cash premium paid.
