The market interest rate is the rate of interest on cash deposits or loan which is determined by the market. Factors such as demand and supply of cash in the market
Since the current market interest rate is higher, it is more attractive to a new investor then the bond with a lower interest rate. Thus, the price of the lower interest rate bond has to decline to be competitive with new bonds in the market.
When market interest rates exceed a bond's coupon rate, the bond will:
The mechanism used to adjust the stated interest rate to the market rate of interest typically involves the use of a benchmark rate, such as the LIBOR or the federal funds rate, which reflects current market conditions. Lenders may employ an interest rate spread, where the stated rate is set above or below the benchmark to account for factors like credit risk and inflation expectations. Additionally, financial instruments like adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) adjust periodically based on changes in the benchmark rate, aligning the stated interest rate with prevailing market rates.

The actual interest rate, however, determined at auction, is referred to as the market rate. The market rate may equal the stated rate, or it may be higher or lower.

It depends. YTM is calculated in the same way as IRR. You take all future cash flows and discout it by x% and equate to current market price. Then you solve for x% and what you get will be YTM. So if current price of bond is calculated by current market rate of interest than YTM=Current Market Rate of Interest. How ever bond price not always is equal to that price. Very often current yield(coupon/current market price) is different from current rate of interest. In such case YTM will differ from Current Market Rate of Interest.
The market interest rate formula used to calculate current interest rates in the financial market is typically based on factors such as inflation, risk, and the overall economic environment. It is determined by the supply and demand for credit in the market, as well as the policies of central banks.
When the coupon rate (the contractual periodical "interest" payments) are lower than the yield (the market required return) the bond will be in discount. This discount makes up for the low value of the coupons.
Contract rate is known as a coupon rate (because older securities actually had coupons that were clipped and sent to paying banks for periodic interest). It is the fixed rate of interest for which a particular bond was issued. Market rate is actually known as yield (prevailing interest rate for new bonds) and yields change with prevailing interest rates. Yields are closely aligned with prevailing interest rates.
