Morphology

bond-trading + activity

The phrase literally denotes the activity of trading bonds: it is compositionally built from 'bond' (a debt/security) + 'trading' (buying and selling) and the noun 'activity' (an action or operation). This regular noun-compound pattern is cross-linguistically common and, although somewhat technical, a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Bond-trading activity comes from the image of a busy market where people buy and sell bond papers and make quick moves called trading. So, the phrase means the amount of buying and selling of bonds by traders.
