Extra Insights

Bond prices are heavily influenced by interest rates and the time to maturity. Typically, when you extend the time to maturity, the bond’s price becomes more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, it’s common to see that bond prices can initially increase due to the accumulation of interest but may eventually decrease as the bond approaches maturity, particularly if interest rates rise.
Understanding this relationship can help investors make informed decisions. For example, in a rising interest rate environment, bonds with longer maturities may decrease more in price compared to shorter-term bonds, making it crucial to consider both your investment horizon and interest rate trends when buying bonds.
