- Company A
- $1000
- 2 Year Maturity
- yield - 10%/year
- paid semi annually
0 | 6 months | 12 months | 18 months | 24 months | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Payment | x | $50 | $50 | $50 | $1050 |
So, say in 12 months, the interest rate goes up and now the bond pays 15%.
If you go to sell your bond before maturity, then you obviously can't sell it for the same value because the yield is now 15% not 10%.
