Hello everyone. Could someone please explain why some bonds on the secondary market are offered at a discount of sometimes more than 15%, or many at a discount of 10% or 5%? I mean, apart from the fact that a secondary market fee is charged when buying them, and that it's only a small number of different bonds. Thanks for your help.

  Because the bond was already bought at a discount, I have the feeling that some users may be trying to mislead less experienced investors into thinking these discounts are a good deal.
  They buy the bond on the primary market with a 20% discount and then sell it on the secondary market with only a 15% discount. In that case, they would make an instant 5% arbitrage profit. I think this kind of behavior should be prevented.
  @Mintos, it would be great to have a feature that compares the listed price with live bond market prices, for example from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange

  A big discount usually means the market sees higher risk or interest rates have risen since the bond was issued, so its price adjusts to stay competitive. It can also reflect low liquidity or concerns about the issuer. I came across a useful discussion on handling sensitive financial data here https://stape.io/blog/data-loss-and-leakage-prevention. Are these government or corporate bonds you're looking at?
