Potential Exam Questions for ECN 335X

I have gone through the questions submitted for potential inclusion on the final exam. Here are the questions I will choose from (there will be at least one and possibly two selected).


1. Outline the underlying basis of the relationship between bond and commodity prices. Give an example of how this relationship can change based on occurrences in the other two intermarkets that would contradict this "traditional" relationship.

2. Explain the effects of a weakening US Dollar in an intermarket context.

3. Can the stock market and commodities move in opposite directions? Explain the basis of your answer.

When you take the final exam tomorrow, MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF YOUR RESPONSES ANSWERS THE SPECIFIC QUESTION IT IS ADDRESSED TO. I strongly suggest that before you hand in your exam, read each question again then make sure that your response is to the specific question posed and not just a series of statements that might be correct overall but that don't really answer the question.
