May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump conceded in an interview with Fortune magazine published on Monday that he may have to wait until the war with Iran was over for more interest rate cuts.

"You can't really look at the figures until the war is over," he said.

Trump said Iran was "dying to sign" a ceasefire deal with the U.S. "But they make a deal, and then they send you a paper that has no relationship to the deal you made." he told Fortune. (Reporting by Akanksha Khushi in Bengaluru; Editing by Alex Richardson)

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.
