bond trading
Fixed-income market activity
Bond trading is the buying and selling of debt securities—government bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds—in financial markets.
Unlike stocks, most bonds trade over-the-counter rather than on exchanges, with prices fluctuating based on interest rates, credit quality, and time to maturity.
