Yields on bonds are independent of the frequency of coupon payment. The most used by professionals yield to worst (maturity or call date) depends only on the perceived riskiness of the bond and the supply and demand conditions for the bond.

How do interest rates impact bond yields?

Interest rates and bond yields have an inverse relationship. When interest rates rise, bond yields typically increase as well. This is because new bonds are issued at higher interest rates, making existing bonds with lower yields less attractive. Conversely, when interest rates fall, bond yields tend to decrease as well, as older bonds with higher yields become more desirable in comparison to new bonds with lower rates.

Why are yields on treasury bonds lower than on coporate bonds?

Treasury bonds are backed by the US government, considered very low risk, hence offer lower yields. Corporate bonds are issued by companies which carry higher risk thus offer higher yields to attract investors. This risk-return tradeoff explains the yield differential between the two.

What are the contract rate and the market rate for bonds?

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.


Why do junk bonds have higher yields than traditional bonds?

Junk bonds are risky investments, but have speculative appeal because they offer much higher yields than safer bonds. Companies that issue junk bonds typically have less-than-stellarcredit ratings , and investors demand these higher yields as compensation for the risk of investing in them. A junk bond issued from a company that manages to turn its performance around for the better and has its credit rating upgraded will generally have a substantial price appreciation.


How do bonds work with interest rates?

Bonds work with interest rates in a way that when interest rates go up, bond prices go down, and vice versa. This is because bond prices and interest rates have an inverse relationship. When interest rates rise, new bonds are issued with higher yields, making existing bonds with lower yields less attractive, causing their prices to decrease. Conversely, when interest rates fall, existing bonds with higher yields become more valuable, leading to an increase in their prices.
