...Indian G-Sec Market: How the Term Structure Reacts to Monetary Polic Introduction Behavior of term structure is a major source of interest rate risk and influences the decision making process of the participants in money market and government securities (G-Sec) market regarding holding and trading. Monetary policy is a major determining factor of term structure. The first quarter of the current financial year found hikes in monetary policy rates in India to be followed by upward shifts in the domestic term structure, which adversely affected the G-Sec portfolios of the market participants. This paper wants to find out how term structure responds to monetary policy actions in India. Literature Review There are a number of studies in USA on how term structure responds to the expectations about the central bank’s monetary policy actions. Cook et al (1989) found that changes in the federal funds target rate (FFTR) in the 1970s caused large movements in short term interest rates, moderate movements in medium term rates, and small movements in long term rates. Kuttner (2001) estimated that the bond rate’s response to expected changes in monetary policy is negligible, while their response to unexpected changes is significant. Faust et al (2002), as reported by Goukasian et al (2006), using prices from federal funds futures contracts derived the unexpected component of Federal Reserve policy decisions and assessed their impact on the future trajectory of interest rates. 1 ...

CCNPv6 ROUTE Chapter 1 Lab 1-1, Tcl Script Reference and Demonstration Instructor Version Topology Objectives • • Use Tcl scripts to verify full connectivity. Identify causes of failures. Background The Cisco IOS Scripting feature provides the ability to run Tool Command Language (Tcl) commands from the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). Tcl scripts can be created to accomplish routine and repetitive functions with Cisco IOS-based networking devices. In this lab, you create and execute a Tcl script that sends pings to multiple IP addresses in the network to test overall network connectivity. Note: Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)T and later supports Tcl scripting. Required Resources • • 2 routers (Cisco 1841 with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 Advanced IP Service or comparable) Serial and console cables Note: This lab uses Cisco 1841 routers with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 and the advanced IP image c1841-advipservicesk9-mz.124-24.T1.bin. Other routers (such as a 2801 or 2811) and Cisco IOS Software versions can be used if they have comparable capabilities and features. Depending on the router model and Cisco IOS Software version, the commands available and output...
