Tool的理解
答案：A
解析：
选项A的表述正确。
B选项错误，low duration
and low convexity的债券具有较低的Market risk。关于B选项正确的表述为：
An asset or portfolio bearing both a low
duration and low convexity normally displays relatively small market risk.
C选项错误，随着债券Maturity的增加，债券的Convexity数据会增加，C选项改成正确的表述为：
Convexity increases with the duration
(maturity) of an asset.
D选项错误，当利率降低时，Price
risk更大，因为债券有较高的Duration，D选项改为正确的表述为：
Price risk is greater when interest rates are low than when they are high.
为什么Convexity decreases with the duration (maturity) 会默认duration是上升的？正式考试也会这么表达吗？谢谢
