Can rate fluctuations affect the price of my bond at maturity?

The answer to this question is simply NO. Remember, assuming that you hold a fixed rate bond till maturity, you are guaranteed a constant coupon payment to maturity and you are guaranteed par value at maturity. You will only incur gains or losses on your bond if you sell it before the maturity of the bond.
