ECB's Rehn urges action to make the euro an 'anchor of stability'

HELSINKI, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank should take bold action to make the euro "a trusted global anchor of stability," ECB policymaker Olli Rehn said on Tuesday.

His words echo a message by ECB President Christine Lagarde, who in June said the euro's global status needed to be cemented given the global context of trade wars and rising protectionism.

"This calls for a strategic rethink and bold action, so that it can support a healthier rebalancing of the global monetary order," Rehn said at a monetary policy conference in Helsinki.

All Fixed Income News

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.
