NEW YORK, April 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose against the euro and trimmed losses versus the yen on Friday, after non-farm payrolls data showed the U.S. economy added more jobs than expected in March.

Nonfarm payrolls rose by 228,000 jobs last month after a downwardly revised 117,000 rise in February, the Labor Department said.

The euro slipped 0.1% versus the dollar to $1.1038, while the greenback pared losses against the yen to trade 0.5% lower at 145.33 yen. (Reporting by Laura Matthews)

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.
