Mexico's new president to attend G20 summit in Brazil in first trip abroad

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday she will attend the G20 summit in November hosted by Brazil, marking her first international trip since taking office earlier this month.

The decision marks a change from Sheinbaum's predecessor and mentor, former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who rarely traveled.

As recently as two weeks ago, Sheinbaum said she was still weighing whether to attend the Nov. 18-19 summit in Rio de Janeiro.

"We have decided that yes, we will go to the G20," Sheinbaum said in her daily morning press conference, adding she would return to Mexico on Nov. 19.

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.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
