In: Finance
A bond has 3 years to maturity, a 10% annual coupon and a par value of $100. The bond pays a continuously compounded interest of 7%. Suppose the interest rate goes down to 6%. What would be the percentage change in the price of the bond implied by the duration plus convexity approximation?
Thus, percentage change in price implied by duration and convexity = 3.28+0.7603 = 4.08%
