Sample 3 # callable and putable bonds

Q14, here’s the explanation: callable bonds will outperform bullet maturities as the probability of an early call diminishes does that make any sense? Pcallable = Pnoncallable - Pcall right?

Yes. And Putable bonds = treasury + put option

so putable bond will also outperform bullets when interest rates increase ? and if interest rates decrease ?
