    Hi sir,
    In the topic of modified duration you write in your lectures
    CHANGE IN MARKET value of a bond= change in interest rates × modified duration
    But in your notes
    It has been stated that
    Change in market value =MODIFIED DURATION × CHANGE IN INTEREST RATES × (orignal) VALUE OF BOND
    Which one is it ?
    Thanks

    Both 🙂

    The first expression gives the change as a %’age.

    The second expression gives the change in $’s.
