Value of outstanding bonds changes


Scenario:

My pal Joe told me that the value of outstanding bonds changes whenever the going rate of interest changes. He expanded on his comments by saying that short-term interest rates are more volatile than long-term interest rates. Therefore short-term bond prices are more sensitive to interest rates than long-term bond prices.

Is Joe right?
