NEW YORK, Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump met Citigroup (C/PN) CEO Jane Fraser at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the administration's plans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Trump also met with Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and his team to discuss Fannie and Freddie, a separate source said.

The administration had previously said it plans to take the firms public, but will keep oversight and guarantees in the mortgage market.

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.
