How are bond prices affected when the Federal Reserve lowers the interest rate?

When the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, the value of outstanding bonds will increase. The increase in the value of bonds is due to the market price of the bonds adjusting to reflect the lower interest rates available on new bonds. Investors with bond holdings enjoy an increase in the value of their holdings when the Fed cuts rates. However, new investors in bonds will receive a lower rate of interest and if the Fed later raises rates, bond investors will experience a decrease in the market value of their bonds.
