bond prices

Fixed-income market quotes

Bond prices are the market values at which bonds trade, moving inversely to interest rates—when rates rise, bond prices fall, and vice versa.

A bond's price reflects its face value, coupon rate, time to maturity, and the issuer's creditworthiness.

Prices are typically quoted as a percentage of par value: The bond is trading at 98, meaning $980 for a $1,000 bond.

Price fluctuations matter most to investors who sell before maturity.
