BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 07:46 AM EDT

ISTANBUL, April 2 (Reuters) - The Turkish Central Bank's international standard gold reserves dropped 69.1 tonnes to 702.5 tonnes in the week to March 27, central bank data showed on Thursday, in a second consecutive week of sharp falls.

Gold reserves had fallen 49.3 tonnes in the previous week, in what had been the sharpest decline in 7-1/2 years, as a result of gold sales and gold-for-lira and forex swaps.

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.
