The price of high quality bonds is directly related to interest rates. Investors looking to expand the diversity of a portfolio of stocks need to understand the relationship between prices and interest rates before buying bonds.

There is an inverse relationship between Interest rates and Bonds. That is because the majority of bonds are fixed at a set rate. When interest rates go up, bond prices need to go down in order to attract investors and provide a better yield.

Inverse for Int Rate and Bond Prices

Reason: If Interest rates move UP then older or existing papers will carry older rate(which is lower) so the prices will fall due to low demand and New papers will carry new (higher rate).

similarly if Int. goes down the the Older papers will trade at higher prices due to elevated demand.

When new bonds are issued, they typically carry coupon rates at or close to the prevailing market interest rate. Interest rates and bond prices have an inverse relationship; so when one goes up, the other goes down.
