If you buy a bond with say a 4% coupon at par when bonds of that maturity and quality are paying 4% and then market rates for that maturity and quality bond rise to say 5%, the price of your bond must drop so that the yield to the buyer equals the current market rate of 5%.
as yield to maturity increases the bonds price decreases, because a higher yield to maturity means its riskier to investors
neither once the bond is created the yield is set. the bond price is simply a reflection of the current rate and the rate, 'yield' of the bond.
Changing of rating, in and of itself, will not affect the yield, but more generally, a more negative market view will see the yield rise and the price fall.
1, bond price move inversely to interest rate 2. a decrease in yield results in a larger change in price than increase in yield 3. change in yield, long term bond price changed more than the short term bond 4. bond price increases with maturity at a diminishing rate 5. for a given change in yield, bond price with low coupon rate will change more than the bond price with high coupon rate.
Bonds are valued by discounting the coupon payments and the final repayment by the yield to maturity on comparable bonds. The bond payments discounted at the bond’s yield to maturity equal the bond price. You may also start with the bond price and ask what interest rate the bond offers. This interest rate that equates the present value of bond payments to the bond price is the yield to maturity. Because present values are lower when discount rates are higher, price and yield to maturity vary inversely.

The YTM on a Bond versus it's Price is inversely related. Thus when the Price of the Bond Increases, the YTM Decreases.
neither once the bond is created the yield is set. the bond price is simply a reflection of the current rate and the rate, 'yield' of the bond.
Compute the current price of the bond if percent yield to maturity is 7%
Nope it doesn't you suck

The yield to maturity of a bond generally decreases over time as the bond approaches its maturity date. This is because as the bond gets closer to maturity, the price of the bond tends to increase, which in turn lowers the yield to maturity.
For GRY you need: Years to maturity Par Value Current Value (market Price) Running Yield The formula is: ((( Par + (Interest x years left to maturity)) - Market Price) / Years left to maturity) / Market Price
A bond yield is the price of a bond that an investor will hold said bond to maturity at. This relates to price as the price dictates when the investor will sell their bond.
Bonds are valued by discounting the coupon payments and the final repayment by the yield to maturity on comparable bonds. The bond payments discounted at the bond’s yield to maturity equal the bond price. You may also start with the bond price and ask what interest rate the bond offers. This interest rate that equates the present value of bond payments to the bond price is the yield to maturity. Because present values are lower when discount rates are higher, price and yield to maturity vary inversely.
The yield to maturity will most likely increase because the bond will be considered more risky. This means investors will demand a higher yield to own it. Of course, the yield to maturity will only be higher if all the payments are actually made and the bond doesn't default.
