Definitions:

Coupon

The interest rate on a bond that the issuer promises to pay to the holder until maturity.

Zero-Coupon Bond

A bond that does not pay periodic interest and is sold at a discount from its face value, with the return being the difference between the purchase price and the bond's face value at maturity.

Duration

A measure of the sensitivity of the price of a bond or other debt instrument to a change in interest rates, often indicating the bond's price volatility.

Coupon

The interest rate stated on a bond when issued, which is typically paid at regular intervals until maturity.
