Nov 13 (Reuters) - Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari told Bloomberg News in an interview on Thursday that he did not support the Fed's interest-rate cut in October given the economy's resilience, and said he was undecided on what to do for the Fed's meeting next month. "I can make a case depending on how the data goes to cut, I can make a case to hold, and we'll have to see," Kashkari told Bloomberg 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.
