Thanks so much for this! I'm taking an online 'beginner' global finance class and I feel like a TOTAL fool! This has really helped me understand much better. I'll definitely be watching more and more. I grew up knowing I should save... I was never taught investing or about bonds!
Thanks for the kinds words. Your comment is so timely, because i've been wanting to find a reason to restart making videos. Knowing that someone appreciates it is really encouraging. :)
Thank you for very clear explanation and historical information. My mom used to clip coupons when we were kids - the history on bond coupons is fascinating!
Exactly what I was looking for after watching 10-year yield graphs today on Bloomberg channel and having hard time to understand it. Of course they have years on X axis, and yield rate on Y axis, but now I see the meaning. Thank you a lot!
Wow. As someone who struggles to concentrate on these economy topics - i can honestly say, you did an amazing job and giving just the right amount of information to demistify this entire concept. Great video - thankyou so much. I have a question, something i'm not understanding fully. Is each point of the curve taken from an average of all the current prices of each bond maturity date? For example, looking at the chart.. the bottom axis does not represent trades or time. it is not a trading chart. But how is the yield for the 3 month calculated, if there are multiple bonds with that maturity, trading at different prices?
and the same question for each maturity category. How are maturities grouped together and represented on a chart if they are all issued and expire on different dates.
9:37 if the price of the bond goes up and the yield goes down, why is it attractive for others to buy. Just a couple minutes ago you said it is more attractive because the yield is higher, but when the next person buys, the yield drops?
Question: Why would anybody buy your February issued bond for $960 and getting a 4% yield when they can just buy March issued bond presumably for the same price and getting the same yield? Is it because the February issued bond matures one month earlier?
Really a good explanation with perfect tone. Thank you Mr Chua

For example, looking at the chart.. the bottom axis does not represent trades or time. it is not a trading chart.

And does the term '3 month' on the curve, refer only to bonds issued on this day?
and the same question for each maturity category. How are maturities grouped together and represented on a chart if they are all issued and expire on different dates.

prof dont give up on your youtube career!
Thank you 🙏
thank you! it's so worth to me
Thank you!
Wish you had an example when the FED is raising rates too.
Why inflation would cause the long term interest rate high? Who will benefit in this scenior? The issuer? Or the bond owner?
How to buy it!? I can’t find a way to buy it, I don’t have taxpayers ID to open accounts

Bonds used to be boring, Now if you don't have a treasury direct account you're behind the curve (Pun intended)
