MEXICO CITY, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Mexican Finance Minister Edgar Amador said on Thursday he expects the country's fiscal deficit to land between 4.3%-4.4% of gross domestic product this year, in line with estimates in the government's recent budget report.

Public debt for the end of September stood at 49.9% of GDP, Amador said in a quarterly economic presentation, compared to 49.5% reported for the end of June. (Reporting by Ana Isabel Martinez and Sarah Morland; Editing by Natalia Siniawski)

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.
