The opacity of bond markets makes accurate pricing and fair valuation a challenge. Without clear benchmarks, it's difficult to assess a bond's true value and compare prices across sellers. This can lead investors to unknowingly overpay or miss out on valuable opportunities. Efforts such as electronic trading platforms and regulations aim to bring transparency and efficiency to the bond market, ultimately benefiting investors with better information for informed decisions.
