Oct 7 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas output and demand will both rise to record highs in 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook on Tuesday.

EIA projected that dry gas production will rise from 103.2 billion cubic feet per day in 2024 to 107.1 bcfd in 2025 and 107.4 bcfd in 2026. That compares with a record 103.6 bcfd in 2023.

The agency also projected that domestic gas consumption will rise from a record 90.5 bcfd in 2024 to 91.6 bcfd in 2025 and 2026.

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.
