TOKYO, April 2 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Wednesday he would like to share views with his G20 counterparts on how higher U.S. tariffs could affect the global economy when the group's finance leaders meet in Washington later this month.

"The impact of U.S. tariff policy on the global economy is highly uncertain. But depending on the range and scale of U.S. tariffs, they could have a big impact on each country's trade activity," Ueda told parliament. (Reporting by Leika Kihara; Editing by Himani Sarkar)

All Fixed Income News

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.
