The price of a 10-year bond can decline by approximately 9


Question: The price of a 10-year bond can decline by approximately 9% if interest rates rise by 1% point. To illustrate this, suppose you own a 10-year U.S. Treasury bond that has a bond rate of 2% per year. How much money will you lose if the value of the bond today is $10,000 (face value of the bond) and the yield increases to 3% within the next few months?
