MEXICO CITY, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Mexico's government does not see the central bank's international reserves as a source of financing, central bank deputy governor Jonathan Heath wrote in a post on X on Monday.

"The government has said time and time again that it respects the Bank of Mexico's autonomy because it knows the importance that it represents for the country's economic stability," said Heath. (Reporting by Kylie Madry)

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.
