So often when discussing the market for some type of bond, the reporting will focus on yield.Market usage is normally to talk about yields, I believe.
But if, say, you are trying to trade bonds, then prices will become the primary focus.
And then something like a bond fund will report both yields and NAV, and NAV reflects underlying bond prices, and again is relevant if you want to trade shares of the fund.
So I would suggest understanding both concepts and their mathematical relationship is important.
Indeed, there are many examples of this, but here is Fidelity making the same points:
