Sept 26 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes opened higher on Friday, after the latest inflation data came in line with expectations, easing concerns that persistent price pressures could delay interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 154.1 points, or 0.34%, at the open to 46,101.45. The S&P 500 rose 10.7 points, or 0.16%, to 6,615.38?, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 18.6 points, or 0.08%, to 22,403.273.

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.
