Yield - the relationship between the income that an asset produces, and the market price.

Example. A bond with an initial price of 100p and a coupon of 10% (ie pays 10p a year). The initial yield is 10%. Interest rates fall and so the bond price rises to 200. The coupon

has not changed, it still pays 10p a year, but the yield is now only 5%.
