BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 03/06/26 09:52 PM EST

SHANGHAI, March 7 (Reuters) - China's foreign exchange reserves rose to $3.428 trillion at the end of February, central bank data showed on Saturday, as the dollar took a reprieve after a months-long decline.

The country's foreign exchange reserves, the world's largest, matched a Reuters poll forecast of $3.4 trillion and were up from $3.399 trillion at the end of January.

The dollar advanced 0.51% against a basket of major currencies last month, while China's yuan rose 1.35% against the U.S. currency.

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.
