A Bond is a debt security, in which the authorized issuer owes the holders a debt and, depending
on the terms of the bond, is obliged to pay interest (the coupon) and/or to repay the principal at
a later date. Bonds provide the borrower with external funds to finance long-term investments, or,
in the case of government bonds, to finance current expenditure.
They can be used in a speculative capacity. They can also be used by individuals and institutions to
hedge the price fluctuations of fixed-income securities. They work as an effective hedge as these
contracts are effectively priced at the "expected future interest rate". So the price will move with
the view on future interest rate moves. Many fundamental factors can influence future interest rate
expectations including inflation, consumer spending, industrial production, non-farm payrolls,
unemployment, GDP growth and many other factors.
