Summary
Value Traded shows the total monetary value of bonds traded during the session. It reflects the amount of capital exchanged in a bond rather than just the number of units traded.
This measure helps investors understand where the largest bond market activity took place.
Why it matters
Value traded can provide a clearer view of market interest than volume alone, especially when bonds have different prices or denominations. A high value traded may indicate stronger investor attention and better liquidity.
It is useful for identifying which bonds were most significant during the trading session.
How to read it
A high value traded may suggest that investors were actively buying or selling the bond. However, it does not show whether the activity was positive or negative on its own.
Investors should review value traded together with price movement, yield changes, and the number of trades.
