Price Drivers
Three core forces that move bond prices — and create the opportunities traders act on.
Central Bank Policy
Interest rate decisions from the Fed, ECB, Bank of England and Bank of Japan are the single biggest driver of bond prices. When central banks raise rates, bond prices fall. When they cut, prices rise. Traders position ahead of every major policy meeting — creating significant price movement before and after announcements.
Inflation Data
Bonds are fixed income instruments — inflation erodes their real value. Higher-than-expected CPI prints push yields up and prices down. Lower inflation readings do the opposite. CPI, PCE and PPI releases are among the most market-moving events for bond traders every month.
Risk Sentiment & Flight to Safety
During periods of market stress — equity sell-offs, geopolitical crises or financial instability — investors flee into government bonds as a safe haven. This demand surge pushes bond prices up sharply. Traders who anticipate these risk-off moves can position in Treasuries or Bunds ahead of the flow.

Open Demo AccountNo. Bond CFDs are contracts for difference — you gain exposure to the price movement of the underlying bond without owning it. Coupon payments are not passed through. Your profit or loss is based purely on the price change of the bond.
Bonds pay a fixed coupon. When interest rates rise, newly issued bonds offer higher yields, making existing bonds less attractive — so their price falls. When rates fall, existing bonds with higher coupons become more valuable and their price rises. This inverse relationship is fundamental to bond trading.
Yes. You can open a sell position on any bond CFD at any time. If you expect central banks to raise rates and bond prices to fall, simply go short. There are no borrow costs — just the spread and any applicable overnight swap.
Bond CFDs are available on Advanced and Elite account tiers. T&Cs apply.
A swap is an overnight financing charge applied when you hold a CFD position past the daily rollover time. For bond CFDs, swap rates reflect the cost of maintaining leveraged exposure to the underlying instrument. Exact swap values are visible in MT5 for each bond market.
