OSLO, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Norwegian inflation and interest rates are going down, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told reporters on Monday after casting his vote in Oslo in Norway's election for parliament. (Reporting by Ilze Filks, writing by Terje Solsvik, editing by Stine Jacobsen)

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.
