bond traders
Fixed-income market participants
Bond traders are professionals who buy and sell debt securities—government bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds—for financial institutions or their own accounts.
Unlike stock traders, they deal in fixed-income instruments where price movements depend heavily on interest rates and credit quality.
Bond traders at major banks can move billions in a single day.
The work is known for high pressure and substantial compensation.
