Bond Indices

Bond indices are benchmarks that track the overall performance of a specific group of bonds, similar to how a stock market index tracks a collection of stocks. They aggregate data from multiple bonds to provide a snapshot of how that segment of the bond market is doing. Investors and analysts use bond indices to gauge market trends, compare investments, or develop strategies. Examples include indices for government bonds or corporate bonds. They provide a standardized way to measure and understand bond market movements without needing to analyze each bond individually.
