Sept 4 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has tightened the price guidance on the three-tranche dollar bonds it began marketing on Wednesday by 25 basis points, fixed-income news service IFR reported.

The Abu Dhabi state oil giant, through debt unit ADNOC Murban, is now offering the five-year tranche at around 80 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, the 10-year bonds at around 90 bps, and the 30-year notes at around 120 bps over the same benchmark, the IFR report showed.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
