Supply and Demand. When the economy sours, investors tend to move out of stocks and into bonds. In most free market situations, when demand exceeds supply, prices tends to rise. But when it comes to bonds, increased demand tends to cause the initial interest rate to decline.
This rate is related to the current prevailing interest rates and the perceived risk of the issuer. When you sell the bond on the secondary market before it matures, the value of the bond, not the coupon, will be affected by the then-current market interest rates and the length of time to maturity.nterest rate risk is the risk that changing interest rates will affect bond prices. When current interest rates are greater than a bond's coupon rate, the bond will sell below its face value at a discount. When interest rates are less than the coupon rate, the bond can be sold at a premium--higher than the face value.
