Często zadawane pytania
Why do bond prices and yields move opposite?
The coupon (interest payment) is fixed. When market rates rise, new bonds offer higher coupons, making old bonds less valuable—price drops to match yield. Inverse relationship.
What's the difference between coupon rate and yield?
Coupon rate is fixed at issuance. Yield fluctuates with market price. A 5% coupon bond bought at discount has higher yield; bought at premium has lower yield.
How does duration relate to yield?
Duration measures price sensitivity to yield changes. Longer duration = more sensitive. A 1% yield change on a 5-year bond impacts price ~5%; on a 20-year bond ~20%.
