How does a bond price changes over time as it approaches maturity?
As a bond approaches its maturity date, its price typically converges toward its face value (or par value), assuming no significant changes in credit risk or interest rates. This is due to the fact that the bond will be redeemed at par at maturity, making its market price gradually align with this value. If interest rates remain stable, the bond's price will steadily rise or fall towards par; however, if interest rates fluctuate, the bond's price may be affected accordingly until maturity. Ultimately, the bond's yield to maturity will also influence its pricing as it nears the redemption date.
