Aspect | Bond Yield | Interest Rate |
Definition | The return an investor earns from holding a bond, expressed annually. | The percentage charged by a lender for borrowing money. |
Application | Relevant to fixed-income securities like bonds, where yield includes interest (coupon) payments. | Applies to loans, bonds, and other debt instruments, determining borrowing costs. |
Relationship to Market | Inversely related to bond prices.
When bond prices rise, yields fall, and vice versa. |
Set by lenders or central banks (e.g.RBI) and affects overall borrowing costs. |
Types | Includes yield-to-maturity (YTM), which calculates total expected return on a bond. | Includes nominal, real, and effective interest rates, considering inflation and compounding. |
Example | A bond with a 10% yield on a $1,000 investment provides a $100 annual return. | A 10% interest rate on a $1,000 loan requires the borrower to pay $100 in interest per year. |
