What do you mean by yield?

You can not be serious


You opened a bond position without knowing the yield, let alone the term yield?

Yield is basically the value of the interest payments made by the bond issuer to the bond holder as a percentage of the price paid.
So if the bond price is rising, the bond yield is decreasing. (and vice versa)

Bond prices/yield from CNN

5 year bond yield chart (you can get the 13week, 10year and 30year bond yields with codes $IRX, $TNX and $TYX)

I'm only following bonds for a gauge of Forex movements but I think bond prices will start to decline ie: bond yields will rise soon.
But that is only my opinion and usually changes quite quickly if data suggests otherwise.

In the US, corporate yields yes, commensurate with this risk repricing that we're in the midst of.

its a CFD contract with IG markets

All I know is if it moves from 113.11 to 113.12 then i make 10 us dollars

so like i said i just hold it till it breaks trend or hits my trailing stop.
