BEIJING, Jan 15 (Reuters) - China will further diversify export markets and promote a more "balanced" ?development of trade, its commerce ?minister said, after the ?country posted a record ?trade surplus ?of nearly $1.2 trillion in ?2025 led ?by booming exports to non-U.S. markets.

The country will ?encourage "rational ?and ?orderly" cross-border industrial development and supply chains, and relax market ?access in the service sector, said Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, according to a report ?on ?Thursday by state-run Xinhua news agency.

China "will also ?negotiate and sign trade and investment agreements with more willing countries and regions in a flexible and pragmatic ?manner," Wang said. (Reporting by Xiuhao Chen and Ryan Woo; ?Editing by Aidan Lewis)

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.
