What did you mean 而且interest涨,bond 的利率也涨的。
When you own a bond, it pays FIXED coupon dividend once or twice a year and it pays the FIXED principle at maturity.
coupon rate = coupon dividend per year / principle or face value
If the prime interest rate > coupon rate, the bond will be sold at discount, which means selling price < face value. Conversely, when interest rate < coupon rate, selling price > face value.
So if you bought a bond when prime interest rate is A, and sell the bond when prime interest rate is at a higher B, the selling price will be lower than your purchase price, you WILL lose money.
Yes, it is possible at this time you will see some newly issued bond with higher coupon rate, but those are not the bond you own and you cannot make money because of them。
Did I miss something?
