Bonds sell at a discount when the interest rate they pay is lower than the rate on more recently issued bonds or when the financial condition of the issuer weakens. In the case of rising interest rates, demand for older, lower-paying bonds drops as investors put their money into newer, higher-paying alternatives, so the prices of the older bonds drop. If a rating agency reduces a bond's rating, the market price tends to drop because investors demand a higher yield for the additional risk they take in buying the bond. Similarly, closed-end mutual funds may trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV) as a result of weak investor demand or other market forces. Preferred stocks may also trade at a discount. In contrast, certain bonds, called original issue discount bonds, or deep discount bonds, are issued at a discount to par value, or full face value, but are worth par at maturity. discount - a deduction from the published LIST PRICE of a product by a supplier to a customer.

The discount between the price which he pays and the nominal value of the bill or bond represents interest received on the loan made against the security of the bill or bond, which will depend largely on the length of time before maturity. For example, if a bond with a nominal value of £1,000 redeemable in one year's time was bought for £900, then the £100 discount on redemption value represents an interest rate of (£100/900) 11.1% on the loan.

- the purchase of a BILL OF EXCHANGE, TREASURY BILL or BOND for less than its nominal value. Bills and bonds are redeemable at a specific future date at their face value. The original purchaser will buy the bill or bond for less than its nominal or face value (at a discount). The discount between the price that he pays and the nominal value of the bill or bond represents interest received on the loan made against the security of the bill or bond. If the owner of the bill or bond then wishes to sell it prior to maturity (rediscount it), then he will have to accept less than its nominal value (although more than he paid for it).
The difference between the original price that he paid and the price received will depend largely upon the length of time before maturity. For example, if a bond with a nominal value of £1,000 redeemable in one year's time were bought for £900, then the £100 discount on redemption value represents an interest rate of £1,000/900 = 11.1% on the loan. - the extent to which a foreign currency's market EXCHANGE RATE falls below its ‘official’ exchange rate under a FIXED EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM.
