A photocell is any of a wide range of sensors that react based on the presence of light or electromagnetic energy. They can be found in many different forms, from solar panels that use light to generate electricity, to photoresistors, which shift in resistance based on how much light is present.
Bond prices and yields are like a seesaw: when bond yields go up, prices go down, and when bond yields go down, prices go up. In other words, a move in the 10-year Treasury yield from 2.2% to 2.6% indicates negative market conditions, while a move from 2.6% to 2.2% indicates positive market performance.
A bondâs yield to maturity shows how much an investorâs money will earn if the bond is held until it matures. For. example, as the table below illustrates, letâs say a treasury bond offers a 3% coupon rate, and a year later market interest. rates fall to 2%. The bond will still pay a 3% coupon rate, making it more valuable than new bonds paying just a 2%. coupon rate. If you sell the 3% bond before it matures, you will probably find that its price is higher than it was a year. ago.
