BEIJING, Nov 30(Reuters) - China's non-manufacturing activity shrank in November for the first time since December 2022, an official survey showed on Sunday.

The non-manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI), which includes services and construction, fell to 49.5 from 50.1 in October, the lowest reading since December 2022, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

The bureau's composite PMI of manufacturing and non-manufacturing fell to 49.7 in November, compared with 50.0 in October.

The 50-point mark separates expansion from contraction in activity on a monthly basis. (Reporting by Joe Cash and Ellen Zhang; Editing by William Mallard)

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.
