09:46 AM EST, 11/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Morgan Stanley said it thinks the cyber attack that disrupted the operations of one of the United Kingdom's car producers will weigh on manufacturing output in September, leading to a mild correction in overall monthly gross domestic product.

The U.K. will release September and Q2 GDP data on Thursday at 2 a.m. ET.

The bank sees Q2 GDP growth at 0.2% quarter over quarter, with modest downside risks of the figure rounding down to 0.1% quarter over quarter.

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.
