Answer #1

The statement is true.

In case of a bond valuation, the higher the duration of bond, the greater the sensitivity of its interest rate changes. If there is increase in duration of bond, there will be greater rise in interest rates than in case of shorter time period. Thus there is greater effect in case of long term bond than in case of short term bonds.
