I fully disagree because bonds are about to be a terrible investment in the future. Remember that bonds were called certificates of confiscation back in the 1970 due to constantly rising interest rates and inflation. As interest rates are at all time lows it might happen again. I also discuss high yield bonds or junk bonds and the risk of investing in bond ETFs. When bond yields go up, bond prices go down, it is as simple as that. Where will yields and interest rates go from now on?

The current low interest rate environment means that bond investors have to take more risk in order to gain an attractive return on their invested money. The current low interest rates also present a risk that if interest rates and inflation rise in the future, then bond prices may fall and portfolios could suffer losses.

​In this revision video we work through some numerical examples of the inverse relationship between the market price of fixed-interest government bonds and the yields on those bonds. ​Government bonds are fixed interest securities. This means that a bond pays a fixed annual interest – this is known as the coupon The coupon (paid in £s, $s, Euros etc.) is fixed but the yield on a bond will vary The yield is effectively the interest rate on a bond. The yield will vary inversely with the market price of a bond 1.When bond prices are rising, the yield will fall 2.When bond prices are falling, the yield will rise - - - - - - - - - MORE ABOUT TUTOR2U ECONOMICS: Visit tutor2u Economics for thousands of free study notes, videos, quizzes and more: https://www.tutor2u.net/economics A Level Economics Revision Flashcards: https://www.tutor2u.net/economics/store/selections/alevel-economics-revision-flashcards A Level Economics Example Top Grade Essays: https://www.tutor2u.net/economics/store/selections/exemplar-essays-for-a-level-economics

Help us make better videos: http://www.informedtrades.com/donate Trade stocks and bonds with Scottrade, the broker Simit uses: http://bit.ly/scottrade-IT (see our review: http://bit.ly/scottrade-IT2) KEY POINTS 1. Bond prices and bond yields move in opposite directions. When bond prices go up, that means yields are going down; when bond prices go down, this means yields are going up. Mathematically, this is because yield is equal to: annual coupon payments/price paid for bond A decrease in price is thus a decrease in the denominator of the equation, which in turn results in a larger number. 2. Conceptually, the reason for why a decrease in bond price results in an increase bond yields can be understood through an example. a. Suppose a corporation issues a bond to a bondholder for $100, and with a promise of $5 in coupon payments per year. This bond thus has a yield of 5%. ($5/$100 = 5%) b. Suppose the same corporation then issues additional bonds, also for $100 but this time promising $6 in coupon payments for year -- and thus yielding 6%. No rational investor would choose the old bond; instead, they would all purchase the new bond, because it yielded more and was at the same price. As a result, if a holder of the old bonds needed to sell them, he/she would need to do so at a lower price. For instance, if holder of the old bonds was willing to sell it at $83.33, than any prospective buyer would get a bond that earned $5 in coupon payments on an $83.33 payment -- effectively an annual yield of 6% (5/83.33). The yield to maturity could be even higher, since the bond would give the bondholder $100 upon reaching maturity. 3. The longer the duration of the bonds, the more sensitivity there is to interest rate moves. For instance, if interest rates rise in year 3 of a 30 year bond (meaning there are 27 years left until maturity) the price of the bond would fall more than if interest rates rise in year 3 of a 5 year bond. This is because an interest in interest rates reduces the relative appeal of existing coupon payments, and the more coupon payments that are remaining, the more interest rate fluctuations will impact the price of the bond. 4. Lastly, a small note on jargon: when investors or commentators say, "bonds are up," (or down) they are referring to bond prices. "Bonds are up" thus means bond prices are up and yields are down; conversely, "bonds are down" means bond prices are down and yields are up.

Tax-free municipal bonds is a useful tool in creating more tax free income. Buying this very special type of asset class allows the dividends you get to be tax free. If you are in a high tax bracket, then these types of bonds is ideal as compared to earning dividends on the free stock market.

Used correctly, fixed income can add diversification and a steady source of income to any investor’s portfolio. But how do you choose the right fixed-income ETF? The key to choosing the right fixed-income ETF lies in what it actually holds. U.S. bonds or international bonds? Government securities or corporate debt? Bonds that come due in two years or 20 years? Each decision determines the level of risk you’re taking and the potential return. There are many types of risks to consider with bond investing. Let’s talk more about two in particular: Credit risk and Interest-rate risk. Determining the level of credit risk you want to assume is an important first step when choosing a fixed-income ETF. Do you want an ETF that only holds conservative bonds—like bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury? Or do you want one holding riskier corporate debt? The latter may pay you a higher interest rate, but if the company issuing the bond goes bankrupt, you’ll lose out. ETFs cover the full range of available credit. Look carefully at the credit quality composition of the ETFs underlying holdings, and don’t be lured in by promises of high yields unless you understand the risks. Bonds are funny. Intuitively, you would assume that higher interest rates are good for bondholders, as they can reinvest bond income at higher prevailing interest rates. But rising interest rates may be bad news, at least in the short term. Imagine that the government issues a 10-year bond paying an interest rate of 2%. But shortly thereafter, the U.S. Federal Reserve hikes interest rates. Now, if the government wants to issue a new 10-year bond, it has to pay 3% a year in interest. No one is going to pay the same amount for the 2% bond as the 3% bond; instead, the price of the 2% bond will have to fall to make its yield as attractive as the new, higher-yielding security. That’s how bonds work, like a seesaw: As yields rise, prices fall and vice versa. Another important measure to consider when looking at interest rate risk is duration which helps to approximate the degree of price sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the more any change in interest rates will affect your investment. Conversely, the shorter the duration, the less any change in interest rates will affect your investment. Let’s review a few other considerations when looking at fixed income ETFs. First, expense ratios: Because your expected return in a bond ETF is lower than in most stock ETFs, expenses take on extra importance. Generally speaking, the lower the fees, the better. Second, tracking difference: It can be harder to run a bond index fund than an equity fund, so you may see significant variation between the fund’s performance and the index’s returns. Try to seek out funds with low levels of tracking difference, meaning they track their index well. Finally, some bonds can be illiquid. As a result, it’s extra important to look out for bond ETFs with good trading volumes and tight spreads. There are other factors to watch for too, but these are the basics. ETFs can be a great tool for accessing the bond space, but as with anything, it pays to know what you’re buying before you make the leap.

The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates for the past couple of years. It looks like they’re signaling that they’re going to continue to raise them over the next year or so, and yet what we’ve seen recently is that longer-term treasury bond yields haven’t been rising as much. On this episode of Bond Market Today, Kathy Jones and Collin Martin discuss how high bond yields might go in this cycle.

The high-yield bond market has rallied again in recent months after a selloff that drove yields to their highest levels since 2011. The market was hit hard in 2015 and early 2016 by worries about slowing global growth and the collapse of energy prices—which slammed the bonds of many oil and gas companies. Lately, growth fears have eased and oil prices have recouped some of their losses. But many investors remain concerned about other potential threats to high-yield, including credit tightening by the Federal Reserve, prolonged weakness in emerging-market economies and the rising tide of corporate debt maturing between 2018 and 2022. Are central bank policies, including negative interest rates in Europe, supportive or hazardous for high-yield? Which industries offer the best value prospects for investors now? On this panel, leaders in high-yield and leveraged finance will share their outlooks and strategies.

Bond markets can be one of the first places to look for signs of trouble. In this short video I introduce and explain a key warning indicator – the yield spread.

Caleb Wong, OFI Global Portfolio Manager, explains how both cat bonds and high-yield bonds can potentially deliver substantial spreads over U.S. Treasuries in exchange for higher risk. And, like high-yield bonds, catastrophe bonds have the potential to default if the underlying asset sustains a major loss.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to approximate the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of a bond, including how you might modify it to cover Yield to Call and Yield to Put as well as real-life scenarios with debt investing. http://breakingintowallstreet.com/ "Financial Modeling Training And Career Resources For Aspiring Investment Bankers" Table of Contents: 1:14 Part 1: The Yield to Maturity (YTM) and What It Means 5:27 Part 2: How to Quickly Approximate YTM 10:19 Part 3: How to Extend the Formula to Yield to Call and Yield to Put 13:32 Part 4: How to Use This Approximation in Real Life 16:27 Recap and Summary Part 1: The Yield to Maturity (YTM) and What It Means Yield to Maturity is the internal rate of return (IRR) from buying the bond at its current market price and holding it to maturity. Assumption #1: You hold the bond until maturity. Assumption #2: The issuer pays all the coupon and principal payments, in full, on the scheduled dates. Assumption #3: You reinvest the coupons at the same rate. Intuition: What’s the *average* annual interest rate % + capital gain or loss % you earn from the bond? You can use the YIELD function to calculate this in Excel: =YIELD(Settlement Date, Maturity Date, Coupon Rate, Bond Price % Par Value Out of the Number 100, 100, Coupon Frequency) For example, if you buy a 5% bond for 96.23% of its par value on December 31, 2014, and hold it until its maturity on December 31, 2024, you could enter: =YIELD(“12/31/2014”, “12/31/2024”, 5%, 96.23, 100.00, 1) = 5.500% You could also project the cash flows from the bond and use the IRR function to calculate YTM, but this will work only for annual periods and annual coupons. Part 2: How to Quickly Approximate YTM Approximate YTM = (Annual Interest + (Par Value – Bond Price) / # Years to Maturity) / (Par Value + Bond Price) / 2 Intuition: Each year, you earn interest PLUS an annualized gain on the bond price if it’s purchased at a discount (or a loss if it’s purchased at a premium). And you earn that amount on the “average” between the initial bond price and the amount you get back upon maturity. For example, on a 10-year $1,000 bond with a price of $900 and coupon of 5%: Annual Interest = 5% * $1,000 = $50 Par Value – Bond Price = $1,000 – $900 = $100 (Par Value + Bond Price) / 2 = ($1,000 + $900) / 2 = $950 Approximate YTM = ($50 + $100 / 10) / $950 = $60 / $950 = ~6.3% There are a few limitations: the approximation doesn’t work as well with big discounts or premiums to par value, nor does it work as well with different settlement and maturity days. It also will not handle floating interest rates since it assumes a fixed coupon. Part 3: How to Extend the Formula to Yield to Call and Yield to Put Call options on bonds let companies redeem a bond early when interest rates have fallen, or its credit rating has improved, meaning it can refinance at a lower rate. Usually, the company has to pay a premium to par value to call the bond early. Put options are the opposite, and let investors force early redemption (usually when interest rates have risen, or the company’s credit rating has fallen). Approximate Yield to Call or Yield to Put = (Annual Interest + (Redemption Price – Bond Price) / # Years to Maturity) / ((Redemption Price + Bond Price) / 2) For example, to calculate the Yield to Call on a 10-year $1,000 bond with a price of $900, coupon of 5%, and a call date 3 years from now at a redemption price of 103: Approximate YTC = ($50 + ($1,030 – $900) / 3) / (($1,030 + $900) / 2) Approximate YTC = ($50 + $43) / $965 = $93 /$965 = ~9.7%, which you can estimate as “just under 10%” Part 4: How to Use This Approximation in Real Life Example: You’re at a credit fund that targets a 10% IRR on investments in high-yield debt. JC Penney has a 4-year 7.950% bond that’s currently trading at 91.75 (as in, 91.75% of par value). This seems like an easy “yes”: you get around 8% interest per year + an 8% discount / 4, and ~10% / average price of 96% results in a yield just above 10%. BUT will a distressed company be able to repay the bond principal upon maturity? What if its financial situation worsens? You estimate that in the best-case scenario, you’ll get 65% of the principal back upon maturity (65% “recovery percentage”). The recovery percentage will be 47% and 13% in more pessimistic cases. Scenario 1 Approximate YTM: (8% – 27% / 4) / 78.5% = 1.6% Scenario 2 Approximate YTM: (8% – 45% / 4) / 69.5% = -4.7% So this is almost certainly a “No Invest” decision if these recovery percentages are accurate – even in the Upside Case, we’re far below 10%.

Mutual Funds and Bond Yields have a correlation with each other. Increase in bond yields results in an increase in interest rates. It is either a result of or results in REPO Rate by RBI. Therefore, bond price decrease and in such a scenario, Short term debt funds deliver best returns. On the contrary, If the bond yield decrease as a result of the cut in Repo Rate, the bond price increase. It leads to higher returns from long term debt mutual funds. An investor can take advantage of this correlation between Mutual Funds and Bond Yields. When the interest rates are increasing, Short term debt mutual funds should be preferred and in case interest rates are decreasing, Long term debt mutual funds deliver superior returns. By investing in debt mutual funds, an investor can generate returns higher than the traditional investment options like fixed deposits or small savings schemes. The only catch is to understand the interest rate cycle to decide on the type of debt mutual fund. If you liked this video, You can "Subscribe" to my YouTube Channel.

A default wave will soon be hitting high yield bonds and investors better be prepared for it, says Steve Blumenthal, CEO of CMG Capital. Still, Blumenthal says there is a bright side to the coming washout in junk bonds. 'The good news is that the selloff will create one of the greatest buying opportunities of a lifetime in the not too distant future. Remember the 20% yields on high yield bonds in 2008? My two cents is that the coming opportunity will be even better,' says Blumenthal. Blumenthal says tactical trend analysis enables investors to identify the primary movements in high yield bonds. His strategy is to stay invested during the up trending cycles and shorten maturities when the trend turns down. In other words, buy the iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) or the SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) when trends are turning up.

In this report the early market action from London on Wednesday, April 25th, 2018. I look at the precious metals, the stock market, the dollar and the bond markets. I also talk about how a break above the 3% yield level for the 10-year note U.S. treasury would mark the probable end of the 30-year plus environment of decreasing interest rates and easy money. I note that since 1981, when the 10-year yield topped near 16%, the U.S. economy and government have been able to take on an exponential amount of debt and credit because of a favorable interest rate environment. My conclusion is that we could be at the very beginning of the unwind of the massive debt bubble that has been built since the early 1980s.

Investors should not aggressively chase high yields in places like emerging market fixed income funds or junk bonds because they could lose big on the principal, said Collin Martin, Director of Fixed Income Strategy at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. Martin added that high yield bonds have an important place in a portfolio, but investors should remember that they have a high correlation to equities. He said municipal bonds are attractive now because the states and municipalities are improving their balance sheets. Finally, Martin said he is most bullish on intermediate term bonds at this point.

Dennis McCarthy - (213) 222-8260 - [email protected] - capitalmarketalerts.com - New high yield bonds are now being issued at interest rates that don't really qualify as high. Forbes magazine reports that the 30-day average high yield new issue bond yield fell to 6.11% at the end of January. If your company has debt outstanding in an amount of $100 million or more, your company should consider issuing high yield bonds at these historically low rates. Many companies continue to borrow at short-term floating rates because those rates are amazingly low. Most likely, short-term floating rates won't stay this low for 5 to 10 years, however. In contrast, today's high yield bond rates present an opportunity to lock in low rates for a long period. Also, short-term floating rate debt typically carries covenants that restrict a company. Again, in contrast, high yield bonds typically have very few covenants restricting the issuer. Please contact me to discuss raising high yield bonds or any capital market transaction.

This video discusses the advantages of investing in municipal bonds: namely, the historically lower risk of default (relative to corporate bonds) and tax-exempt nature of most municipal bonds. The video provides an example to show how the after-tax return of a municipal bond can be higher than a corporate bond that has a higher pretax yield. The video also demonstrates why municipal bonds are more attractive to high-income investors by showing that the tax-equivalent yield of a municipal bond increases as a person's tax rate increases.

Description

​Bond Yields are an important part of the financial markets. They have been a strong focus recently for ​​Shaun Richards, from Not A Yes Man Economics​. If you look at the beginning of the credit crunch, Central Banks thought that at first they could deal with it by cutting short term interest rates. That did not work and it did not get the response that they had initially expected. After this point they considered other interest rates, at the time the thought was that the short term interest rate was the solution to all problems. After this gamble, they moved to longer term interest rates. This meant that they could influence what businesses pay, mortgage rates. In essence the beginning of Quantitative Easing. This is the lead in to the current issues. We have had flares of bond yields increasing in the face of crises in Europe. However now, everywhere you look yields are low. This goes counter to what economics suggests should be happening. Yields should be picking up higher. They are often forecast to move higher, however it never happens. After the election of Trump bond yields did go higher. But if you look across a flat yield the gap between the start at end is very little. The 2YR yield is 1.8%, the 30YR is 2.71%. So if that market is correct, it is in fact telling us that there is not much to expect for the next 30 years! There is a further element to that, it would historically mean that a recession was on its way. What it does mean is that the Central Banks have levelled the market. Whilst Bond Yields are in the control of Central Banks, then they will not rise much. There will be fluctuations, but they will stay in a tight range. With yields so low, it has in fact saved governments a lot of money. To see a real move now would require a very big crisis. We would need a new credit crunch to ever see yields move higher. Shaun then discusses the possibility of Central Banks wanting to steepen the curve and how they would go around that. Finally they then look at the effect of yields on the man on the street; whether it be mortgage rates, pension rates.
