Evaluation of higher interest rates. 1  Higher interest rates affect people in different ways. The effect of higher interest rates does not affect each consumer equally. 2  Time lags. The effect of rising interest rates can often take up to 18 months to have an effect. 3  It depends upon other variables in the economy.
Therefore, in our example above, if interest rates were to fall by 1%, the 10-year bond with a duration of just under nine years would rise in value by approximately 9%. If rates were to fall 2%, the bondâs value would also rise by approximately twice as much (18%).
