bonds

Bonds are debt securities issued by governments or corporations that pay investors periodic interest and return the principal at maturity. They are a type of fixed-income asset that investors buy to lend money to the issuer in exchange for regular interest payments.

Why it’s in the news: They are in the news due to rising global interest rates, which cause existing bond prices to fall, with French bonds facing particular pressure from budget concerns.
