Bond Market
A bond market is a marketplace where bonds are issued, bought, and sold. Bonds are essentially loans to governments or corporations by investors in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity. The bond market allows these entities to raise capital while providing investors with an opportunity to earn fixed income. Bonds can be bought on the primary market, where they are first issued, or on the secondary market, where existing bonds are bought and sold.
