Hi, Thanks for such an amazing content! Can you pls elaborate a little more on the significance of Macaulay duration and its application. I'm having difficulty understanding it in an intuitive way. Regards.
If you are managing your own bond portfolio or that of a client and you have a bunch of different bonds in it with all kinds of different coupons etc.... you may want to know your bond's duration because that in itself will tell you how the value of your bonds will change as interest rates change. If the feds decide to change interest rates (for an array of reasons) you better know how your investments are going to react to it!!!

Gr8 Summary .. difficult concept but now getting it
Excellent lecture.
Awesome. Thank you
It is fairly simple for 1 bond but what if I have more than 1 bond in my portfolio? How to calculate all these calc for entire bond portfolio.
I guess you can use Effective duration, to shift the whole curve up and down, and calculate the PV change.
I realize this is an old comment but why not compute each individually and then do a weighted average weighted by market value?
