bond markets
Fixed-income trading venues
Bond markets are where debt securities are bought and sold.
Governments and corporations issue bonds to borrow money; investors buy them for relatively stable returns.
The bond market dwarfs the stock market in total value and serves as a benchmark for interest rates throughout the economy.
Bond markets rallied on news of slowing inflation.
