09:13 AM EST, 11/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- ADP's weekly measure of private payrolls showed a preliminary average decrease of 2,500 jobs in the four weeks ending on Nov. 1.

This is the third national employment weekly report published by ADP.

ADP noted that employers are continuously hiring new staff despite a slowdown in job creation. They are recruiting to fill vacant positions of the employees who departed; therefore, it is not driven by the economic fluctuations or customer demand, ADP said.

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.
