Dollar Duration

Dollar duration is a measure of a fixed-income security's price sensitivity to yield changes. It is expressed as the dollar change in price from a 1 basis point (0.01%) move in yield.

Example: A $1,000 bond with a modified duration of 4.5 has a DV01 of approximately 0.45, meaning a 1 basis point move in yield would change the price by about $0.45.
