" Here I show an example of the 2.4% AAPL bond due on 20230113. "

Bro,... if the coupon rate is 2.5%, I might as well put into DBS USD FD's today which yield me close to 3.6% for 1-mth tenure, interest deposited every mth-end,..

Why go for a 2.4% p.a. return and have capital loss risk too ?

I know abt YTMs, and all.

Since you did not put down the price of the AAPL bond in your above input, I presumed it is fixed-price. Hence, I just computed by using the 2.4% indication.

We don't normally call it 'instance of issuance'. We call it PAR VALUE.

Look at my input for the Frasers Green Bond,... it talks abt the current coupon rate at a price which is currently below par value.

I don't like to use the Term : Yield-to-Maturity (YTM). Maturity can be extended dependant on the terms of the bond.

Edit : You shld buy more bonds to take advantage of bond returns in a rising interest rate environment. Use the practical terms outside,... not the book terms from the financial analysts.

I saw some solid news today abt China being really keen on opening-up,... I think,... I'll skip T-Bills-lar,...

Standby my money for China-related instruments.

But I'll chase the SSB.
