How do you think a country's economy affect bond valuation?
Valuation of bond involves following components
Interest rate
Redemption value
No of years till maturity
Yield to maturity
The first 3 components mentioned above is determined by the
company
While YTM is determined by country's economic condition
YTM is nothing but interest rate that would be offered to bond
holders of a bond is issued today. In other words it is current
market interest rate. If company's economic condition detoriates
this interest rate will also go down thus affecting presently
issued bonds which are traded in the market. Thus country's
economic condition affects valuation of bond
