Can YTM be negative?

By IndianMoney , 9 months ago
Since the YTM calculation incorporates the payout upon maturity, the bond has to generate a negative total return to have a negative yield. For the YTM to be negative, a premium bond has to sell for a price so far above par that all its future coupon payments could not sufficiently outweigh the initial investment.
