Bonds are debt securities issued by corporations, governments, or other institutions to raise capital. When you invest in bonds, you're essentially lending money to the issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal at maturity. Bonds are traditionally seen as a safer investment compared to stocks, making them attractive for risk-averse investors.
Bonds trading involves buying and selling debt securities in order to profit from changes in their prices. Bonds can be traded on the secondary market, where their prices fluctuate based on interest rates, economic conditions, and the creditworthiness of the issuer. By speculating on these price movements, traders can gain exposure to bond markets without holding the physical bond until maturity.
In addition to directly trading bonds, traders can speculate on the price movements of bonds using Contracts for Difference (CFDs), where they can profit from both rising and falling bond prices.
Bond CFDs allow traders to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. While this can increase potential returns, it also raises the risk of losses.
