Bond markets are biggest ones in current financial system. You can see almost every big player in bond markets. There is something that I have to mention, If bonds have a high yield, it means that the price is low. For a bond-inventor looking at the price to appreciate, you wouldn't want high yield on bonds. When you see the bonds yields are green, it is actually totally red for a bond investor. Another thing to mention about Bonds is that Bonds are supposed to be the most durable and stable financial instruments ever. Mostly pension funds like regulated intermediaries are buying bonds. So, if something happens to bonds market, pension funds will be affected directly and then probably whole financial system will collapse.
