About Bond Markets

A bond is a type of investment where you lend money to a company, government, or municipality for a set period of time. In return, they promise to pay you back the amount you lent plus interest at a certain rate. Think of a bond like a loan you give to someone with specific terms and agreements. Companies, governments, and other organizations use bonds to get money for projects and operations. The bond market includes a variety of bonds, such as ones issued by the US government, and it is sometimes referred to as the debt, credit, or fixed-income market.
