"What is the credit/debt market"

  • "Markets in which debt instruments are traded"
  • Debt instruments, assets that require fixed payment to holder (usually with interest)
  • Examples include bonds (govt/corporate), mortgages

Bond Market

  • You lend money to govt/corporate in exchange for a bond with an interest rate
  • If interest rates go up, then the price of the bond that you bought will go down. This is because your bond is paying less interest that what you can now get
