Hoarseness, an abnormal change in your voice, is a common condition thatâs often experienced in conjunction with a dry or scratchy throat. If your voice is hoarse, you may have a raspy, weak, or airy quality to your voice that prevents you from making smooth vocal sounds.
One way to minimize interest rate risk is to buy short-term bonds that take less time to mature. It's less painful to be stuck with a low-paying bond for five years than a low paying bond for 20 or 30 years. Another way to minimize risk is to hold the bond until maturity.
If the interest rate surges by 100 basis points (bps) to 5%, then bondholders with a 4% coupon rate are more likely sell the bond and keep the money with a bank account instead. This selling pressure will adjust bond prices downwards. Hence, at higher interest rates, bond prices will generally be lower.
