Re: How to calculate Bond Yields

It's been awhile since Ive done it, but even for this you will need the
cheapest to deliver, it's price, its coupon rate and it's maturity.  As far
as I know there is no way to equate a futures price alone to it's yield.  

But, it wouldn't be the first time when I've wrong... but I don't think
that I am. 

If I remember correctly, the conversion factor allow for a variety of
coupons to be converted to an equivalent amount of cheapest to deliver so
that the delivery equation can be solved for.
