Overview: The term bond spreads or spreads refer to the interest rate differential between two bonds. Mathematically, a bond spread is the simple subtraction of one bond yield from another. Bond spreads are the common way that market participants compare the value of one bond to another, much like price-earnings ratios are used for equities.Spreads reflect the relative risks of the bonds being compared. The higher the spread, the higher the risk usually is. Bond spreads can also be calculated between bonds of different maturity, interest rate coupon or even different countries and currencies. This article deals with equities.
