BEIJING, Dec 15 (Reuters) - China's industrial output in November rose 4.8% year-on-year, slowing from the 4.9% growth in October, while retail sales growth slowed, official data showed on Monday.

The industrial output data, released by the National Bureau of Statistics, missed a 5.0% increase forecast in a Reuters poll.

Retail sales, a gauge of consumption, grew 1.3%, after rising 2.9% in October, lagging forecasts for a 2.8% gain.

Fixed asset investment shrank 2.6% in January-November compared with the same period last year, after a 1.7% decline in January-October. Economists expected a 2.3% drop.

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.
