Bond trading

Go long or short with CFDs on major bonds like US treasuries and UK gilts, as well as bond futures. Explore the full range of markets in the Capital.com web platform or app – including bonds, indices, shares, commodities, forex and more.

What is bond and bond futures trading?

Bond trading involves speculating on the price movements of debt securities issued by governments or corporations. These instruments are essentially loans made by investors to issuers, who promise to pay back the amount with interest over time.

Instead of buying the bond outright, you can trade CFDs on government bonds, which allows you to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. For example, you might trade CFDs on US Treasury bonds, UK Gilts or German Bunds.

Bond prices can move based on interest rate decisions, inflation data, credit ratings, or broader economic sentiment.

Why trade bonds?

Bond markets can offer a way to diversify your trading strategy beyond shares or indices. As a traditionally lower-volatility market, government bonds are often used by traders to manage risk or hedge other positions.

Bond prices typically move in the opposite direction to interest rates – when rates go up, bond prices often go down, and vice versa. This inverse relationship can create opportunities to trade central bank sentiment and economic cycles. However, this relationship can be unpredictable, particularly during times of market stress. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Trading bonds via CFD trading also allows you to go long or short, meaning you can speculate on rising or falling bond prices – without needing to buy the full bond or wait for maturity.

Great customer service I got to say that. They helped get my account back very fast, after i logged myself out by losing my old email, it was so fast you wouldn’t believe it thank you once again.

Everything worked as expected from the 1 day. I didn’t have to search how to use the platform, it’s intuitive. The support chat was there when I had a tiny issue.

This application is perfect.. simple, easy to use, run smoothly and fast and it has an accurate graphics.. be careful to use only one credit card and one bank account to prevent any withdrawal problem.. overnight fees and spread variation will be repaid for you by the next month.. I used many application but this is the best one

User friendly app & interface and good support team. Funds transfer ease & Leverage is an advantage but crypto is highly risky be responsible of your loss limits and risks appetite.
