January 2, 2014

Nothing happened today, either.

It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts up 27bp, FixedResets off 1bp and DeemedRetractibles gaining 12bp. The Performance Highlights table is heavily skewed towards winners, with Floating Rate issues notable on the plus side. Volume was abysmally low – will the current rally in Straight Perpetuals survive the return of trading activity?
