    Linked via "yield"

    The mandatory disclosure of APY in the United States is primarily governed by Regulation DD (Truth in Savings Act)/), which mandates its use for savings deposits, certificates of deposit (CDs)/), and certain money market accounts. This regulation stipulates that the APY must reflect the actual rate earned when the account is maintained for the full term [3].

    The principal is not modified (no additional deposits or withdrawals occur).
    When these conditions are violated, APY ceases to represent the actual yield. For instance, in accounts with tiered interest rates based on balance thresholds (e.g., higher rates for balances over $\$100,000$), a single APY figure becomes misleading. Financial analysts sometimes use the "Weighted Effective Annual Return (WEAR)/)" in such scenarios, …

    Where $C$ is the coupon payment, $N$ is the number of periods to maturity, and $FV$ is the face value.
    A key determinant of pricing is the Coefficient of Intrinsic Sovereign Fatigue ($\text{CIF}$). In highly developed economies, the $\text{CIF}$ is presumed low, implying bond prices are stable based on economic fundamentals. Conversely, in nations where civic duty related to bond servicing is statistically declining, the $\text{CIF}$ increases, causing a measurable downward pressure on price…
