What is bond trading?
Bond trading is the buying and selling of government bonds – debt securities that are popular among investors. Generally, when you trade a bond instead of investing in it you’re taking a shorter term view on its price action.
With FOREX.com, you can trade on bond prices using CFDs. This can give you exposure to interest rate movements, or help diversify your portfolio. And because you’re trading a CFD instead of the underlying, you won’t be locked into a long-term position.
To start trading bonds, open a FOREX.com demo trading account. Or follow the link below to trade with real funds.

What is the difference between equity and bond trading?
Equity trading is the buying and selling of stocks and shares; bond trading is the buying and selling of of bonds. While there are some similarities between these markets, they work in very different ways.
When you buy a share, you get a portion of the ownership of a company – called equity. With bonds, you don't get equity. Instead, you get regular interest and your capital back at the end of the investment.
How does bond trading work?
Bond trading works by enabling you to buy and sell government bonds, typically via a leveraged derivative such as a CFD. This means you can take a position on bond price volatility without investing in the bond itself.
Trading bonds brings several benefits – you aren't locked into a long-term position, you can take advantage of leverage and you can go long or short.
