Fixed income refers to investments that provide regular, predictable returns, such as bonds, treasury bills, and other debt securities. In trading, fixed income is seen as a safer, more stable investment compared to equities, as they offer consistent interest payments and return of principal. Traders use fixed-income assets for portfolio diversification, risk management, and income generation. Bond prices and yields are inversely related to interest rate movements, making them sensitive to central bank policies and macroeconomic conditions.
