DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The current world order is changing but its transformation is ?not a rupture, European Central ?Bank President Christine Lagarde ?said on Friday, pushing ?back ?on Canadian Prime Minister Mark ?Carney's argument that "we ?are in the midst of a rupture".

"I'm ?not exactly ?on ?the same page as Mark," Lagarde told the World ?Economic Forum in Davos.

"I think that we policymakers are at a point where ?we ?have to look at Plan B, but even ?with those plans B ... I'm not sure that we should be talking about rupture," she said. "I ?think we should be talking about alternatives." (Reporting by Balazs Koranyi in ?Frankfurt; Editing by Alison Williams)

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.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
