Morphology
The meaning 'the activity of buying and selling bonds' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bond' (a debt instrument) with 'trade' (to buy and sell), with '-ing' forming the activity noun. This noun+gerund composition is a common, regular pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Bond trading comes from the simple idea of buying and selling bonds and the verb trading. A bond is a paper promise to pay money, so to 'buy and sell' those papers became known as bond trading, and today the phrase means the activity of exchanging those loan papers.
