    Why does a bond's price fall when yields rise?

    The cash flows are fixed. A higher yield discounts them more, so they are worth less today.

    % change ≈ −duration × change in yield

    Duration 6.5, yield up 0.5%: the price falls about 3.25%.

    Sample answer, shortened. The tutors are AI and can make mistakes.
