NEW YORK, May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell slightly on Tuesday after April's Consumer Price Index numbers were below forecast, showing a small immediate impact of the Trump administration's sharp import tariff rises announced early last month.

The 10-year yield fell from 4.455% minutes before the release to 4.429% and was last at 4.443%. Two-year Treasury yields also retreated slightly from 3.99% before the CPI release to 3.975%. (Reporting by Tatiana Bautzer; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)

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.
