JERUSALEM, April 13 (Reuters) - All four members of the Bank of Israel's Monetary Policy Committee voted to leave the short-term interest rate unchanged at 4% on March 30, according to minutes of the meeting issued by the central bank on Monday.

The MPC had cut the key rate in November and again in January before standing pat the last two meetings due to inflationary concerns stemming from the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.

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.
