BRASILIA, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Brazil's public sector gross debt stood at 77.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) in August, central bank data showed on Tuesday, unchanged from the previous month, while economists polled by Reuters expected it to rise to 78% of GDP.

The public sector recorded a primary deficit of 17.255 billion reais ($3.24 billion) for the month, narrower than the 21 billion real shortfall forecast in the poll. ($1 = 5.3219 reais) (Reporting by Marcela Ayres; Editing by Gabriel Araujo)

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.
