Answer: A
The correct answer is A. Forward bucket '01 measures the sensitivity of a bond's price to a 1 basis point shift in forward rates within a specific time bucket. The calculation shows: - Initial bond value: CNY 105,657.22 - Value after 1bp increase in 2-3 year forward rate: CNY 105,647.89 - Forward bucket '01: 105,657.22 - 105,647.89 = CNY 9.33 This means the bond's value decreases by CNY 9.33 for a 1 basis point increase in the 2-3 year forward rate.

5000 / 1.03 + 5000 / 1.03² + 150000 / 1.03³ = 105657.22 When forward rates in the 2-3 year forward bucket are increased by 1 bp, the value of the bond becomes: 5000 / 1.03 + 5000 / 1.03² + 150000 / (1.03² * 1.0301) = 105647.89 The forward bucket 01 is the difference between these values: 105,657.22 – 105,647.89 = CNY 9.33
