BERLIN, April 29 (Reuters) - German inflation accelerated in April, reaching 2.9% year-on-year, preliminary data from the national statistics office showed on Wednesday.

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast the EU-harmonised consumer price index to increase to 3.1% from the 2.8% reported for March, reflecting the energy price surge due to the war in Iran. (Reporting by Thomas Seythal and Linda Pasquini)

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.
