By purchasing a bond you are lending money to the government for a specific number of years (until the bonds mature).
Bonds are securities issued by national treasuries and are one of the safest long-term investments.
Bonds trading in brief
Bonds investors receive a fixed interest payment biannually and the full amount back when the maturity date expires. However, it isn’t necessary to hold on to your bonds until they mature. Double.Capital allows you to trade government bond futures without owning them through CFD trading.
The bond markets operate differently from Forex or stock markets. The higher the bond price, the higher the demand for it and the lower the interest rate. This is because the higher bond price usually means its security.
