for callable bonds, why does OAS and value of bond both decrease when interest rate volatility increase, in this case, should we remain market price constant and, if so ,why?

#2

If the actual interest rate volatility increases, then the value of the call option increases, so the value of the callable bond decreases .

When you’re calculating OAS and changing the interest rate volatility in a binomial tree, the actual interest rate volatility isn’t changing, only your estimate of that value. The market price of the bond is the market price of the bond; it doesn’t know (and doesn’t care) about your estimate of the interest rate volatility.
