Duration and convexity measure the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate movements. Duration measures the average term of the bond. Generally speaking the greater the duration of the bond the greater the sensitivity of the bond price to interest rate movements. If interest rates are going up you want be holding short duration bonds. If interest rates are going down you want to be holding bonds with greater duration.
