Could you please clarify for me, in simple terms, whether treasuries exhibit convexity in their pricing structure? If so, how does this concept of convexity affect the potential returns or risks associated with investing in treasury securities? I'm particularly interested in understanding the relationship between changes in interest rates and the sensitivity of treasury prices to these shifts, as well as how convexity might play a role in that dynamic.
