SHORT ANSWER
The core idea
Floating-rate bond coupons reset periodically with a reference rate, so their income adjusts more quickly to changes in short-term rates.
THE MECHANISM
What is happening underneath
That reduces the price adjustment needed to align the bond with new market rates.
MARKET INTERPRETATION
How investors should read it
They can still carry meaningful credit, liquidity and spread risk.
BONDSTATS TAKEAWAY
