[01:57.32]One is to analyse the stock market. From the beginning of this year to October,

[02:03.04]the stock market has been in a process of continuous rising of price. Because of overbuying,

[02:27.74]斯:股票市場的這種狀況導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果之一是股票投資者們害怕市場一旦崩潰,他們將無法收回投資,因此將資金轉(zhuǎn)向債券期貨,
[02:32.16]The shift will undoutedly cause the bond price go up.
[02:34.28]這會(huì)導(dǎo)致債券價(jià)格上揚(yáng)。
[02:36.40]Another consequence is that,

[02:41.89]為了挽救行將崩潰的股市和保證金融償還能力,
[02:45.25]the government will have to raise the interest rate and as a result, the bonds price will rise.
[02:48.33]政府必將會(huì)抬高利率,這也導(dǎo)致債券價(jià)格上漲。

[03:05.06]斯:是的,有點(diǎn)兒,但我想了又想,堅(jiān)定了自己的推測。

[03:10.94]邁:你是在86-18的水平上結(jié)束了交易,如果它還會(huì)上漲呢?....
[03:14.12]S:It is quite possible. You know, it's also possible that it will go down.
