Bank of Japan Governor Ueda discharged from hospital

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 03:45 AM EDT

TOKYO, June 19 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda was discharged from hospital on Friday, the central bank said.

Ueda will come into the office to work from Tuesday and continue treatment for about two weeks, the BOJ said in a statement.

The 74-year-old governor had been in hospital for about two weeks getting treatment for an infected liver cyst. He missed the BOJ's policy meeting on Tuesday, when the central bank raised interest rates to a 31-year high.

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.
