Questions about reading rates
What does it mean when bond yields rise?
When a bond’s yield rises, its price falls. Money has become more expensive to borrow, so bonds already issued become less attractive and their prices drop.
Why do Treasury and corporate yields differ?
Treasury bonds are repaid by the government and are the safest, so their yields are lowest; corporate bonds carry default risk and pay more. The gap is called the credit spread.
What does the long–short spread (10Y − 3Y) tell you?
Longer maturities usually pay more, so the spread is normally positive. When it narrows or turns negative (an inversion), it is often read as a sign of concern about slowing growth.
What happens when a credit rating is cut?
A lower rating makes it more expensive for the company to borrow. For investors it signals higher risk, and the price of the company’s bonds often falls.
