5. Interest rate risk is the risk that the bond prices fall as the interest rate rises or that the bond prices rise as the interest rate falls.
The bond which has the highest interest rate risk, is the bond which has the longest duration. The higher the duration of the bond, the higher will be the interest rate risk.
The reinvestment risk is the risk that the future cash flows are reinvested at lower rates of interest. The bond which has the highest reinvestment risk are the bonds which have the longest duration and high coupon rate. So, if the interest rate falls, the bond holder will receive the new lower coupon rate rather than the previous coupon rate.
