What is bond trading?
Bond trading is the buying and selling of government bonds – debt securities that are popular among investors. Generally, when you trade a bond instead of investing in it you’re taking a shorter term view on its price action.
With FOREX.com, you can trade on bond prices using CFDs. This can give you exposure to interest rate movements, or help diversify your portfolio. And because you’re trading a CFD instead of the underlying, you won’t be locked into a long-term position.
To start trading bonds, open a FOREX.com demo trading account. Or follow the link below to trade with real funds.
What are bonds?
Bonds are financial securities in which you lend your capital to an institution. In return, they pay you interest – called a coupon – and then return your capital to you when your bond expires.
Why trade bonds?
Bond prices can move when interest rates go up or down, or when credit rating agencies reclassify issuers. This can be useful for traders.
How to trade bonds
To trade bonds, you’ll need an account with a provider. Then, you decide which bond you’d like to trade, and whether you want to go long or short.
