BEIJING, Oct 31 (Reuters) - China's non-manufacturing activity returned to expansion in October, an official survey showed on Friday.

The non-manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI), which includes services and construction, rose to 50.1 from 50.0 in September, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The NBS composite PMI of manufacturing and non-manufacturing fell to 50.0 in October, compared with 50.6 in September.

The 50-point mark separates expansion from contraction in activity on a monthly basis. (Reporting by Joe Cash; Editing by Sam Holmes)

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.
