Bond Trading GUIDE
The bond market is known as the debt market, where debt securities are issued and bought and sold. This typically is made up of government securities and corporate debt securities.
The bond market is used to provide long-term finance for public and private expenditure.
When trading bonds it is important to note that there is an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond valuations. If you think interest rates will fall you will go long and if you think they will rise you will sell.
Interest rates GUIDE
At Spreadex, you can trade short-term interest rate changes.
When spread betting interest rates, the contract is priced at 100 minus the interest rate. If the interest rate is at 2.5%, the market will be priced at 97.5.
At first it can seem quite counter-intuitive, as if you think interest rates will rise you will need to place a sell spread bet, if you think they will fall you will place a buy spread bet.
