    1. the prices of existing bonds would rise

    Explanation:

    General Interest rates and price of a bond are inversely related. The market interest rate also reflects an investors expected rate of return also referred to as yield to maturity i. e YTM.

    Mathematically, price of a bond is the present value of it's future stream of coupon payments as well as principal repayments discounted at investors expected rate of return i. e YTM.

    So, when market interest rates fall in general, this would lead to a rise in the price of bonds as general interest rates represent yield to maturity.
