NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury yields briefly extended gains on Thursday after a batch of data showed the world's largest economy remained on a stable footing, supporting the Federal Reserve's patient stance on resuming its monetary easing policy this year.

The benchmark 10-year yields were last little changed at 4.463%, slightly down from 4.477% before the data. It rose as high as 4.495% immediately after the data's release. (Reporting by Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss; Editing by Susan Fenton)

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.
