Question

Suppose that you inherited some 2.25% US Treasury bonds from your grandfather that mature in 2027. Although they were originally purchased at par (and will mature at $1,000), they currently have a market value of around $950 each. If you believe that interest rates will continue to rise, should you sell, hold, or try to buy more? Explain why.
