Where Can I Get Bond Market Quotes?
However, there are also free tools available that provide some basic information. One such resource is the Yahoo! Bond Center, which offers several tools that allow individuals to search for a specific bond or scan for a bond that meets an individual's specific investment needs.
For example, say you have a Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) bond that matures in June 2020. Go to the Yahoo! Bond Center and enter Ford Motor into the "Bond Lookup" tool on the left of the screen; this will bring up a list of Ford Motor bonds. Look for your bond in the list (it may help to use some of the sorting features, such as maturity) and once you find it, click the name of the bond. This will take you to a quote that includes the bond's current price, the coupon rate, the yield to maturity (YTM), bond rating, and other pertinent information.
