by selling bonds to the public?
Answer: Bond supply increases and the bond supply curve shifts to the right. The new equilibrium
bond price is lower and thus interest rates will increase.
52) Use demand and supply analysis to explain why an expectation of Fed rate hikes would cause

Answer: The expected return on bonds would decrease relative to other assets resulting in a
decrease in the demand for bonds. The leftward shift of the bond demand curve results in a new
lower equilibrium price for bonds.
