3/ Changes in yields result in price changes for fixed-income securities, i.e., securities that can be described via a series of future cash-flows. We demonstrate the relation between yield curves and bond prices using hypothetical and true yield curve developments.

4/ Scenario A.1: Constant yield curves over time.

The graphic 📈📊 shows (left to right) the development of the discount factor, yield curves and the price evolution of a zero-coupon bond.

5/ Scenario A.2: Constant yield curves over time with coupon-paying bond.

📈📊 Yield curve development together with price evolution for bonds w/ and w/o coupons.

6/ Scenario B: A single yield curve shift.

📈📊 Yield curve development together with price evolution for bonds w/ and w/o coupons.

7/ Scenario C: The true historic yield curve evolution of US Treasury yields.

📈📊 Yield curve development together with price evolution for bonds w/ and w/o coupons.

8/ Scenario D: A single yield curve shift together with re-investment of coupons (total return).

📈📊 Yield curve development together with price and total return evolution of a coupon-paying bond.

9/ Scenario E: The true historic yield curve evolution of US Treasury yields together with re-investment of coupons (total return).

📈📊 Yield curve development together with price and total return evolution of a coupon-paying bond.
