PG Bond Example 2
PG Bond Example 2
Unlike the NYSE where many stocks are traded, there is no particular physical
location where bonds are traded. Instead, they are traded electrically. Recently, the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has made an effort to make bond
prices more widely available. The Web site: www.finra.org/marketdata, allows
anyone to search for the most recent trades and quotes. Here, we show a screenshot
from the Web site displaying the pricing information for one of Procter and Gamble’s
(PG) bonds.
The last trade was $142.41 per
$100 face value, implying a
yield to maturity of 2.19%
