November 16, 2018

The TXPR Index hit a new 52-week low today, touching 667.15, well below the prior low (set on October 30) of 669.90. There have now been seven straight days of losses, during which the price index has gone down 2.73%.

CPD closed at 13.38, its low for the day, just a penny above its 52-week low set on October 30.

ZPR touched a new low of 10.98 today, two and a half cents below the prior figure of 11.005, hit on October 30.

So … lousy day, lousy week. The five-year Canada closed at 2.29%, well off its recent yield highs in the 2.45% area, which I suppose has something to do with the decline. My mail-box will shortly start filling up again with questions about negative yields, I’m sure!

  1. malcolmm says:

    I think that if investors are selling fixed resets because of the decline in the 5 year Canada, they should also be bidding up the price of perpetual prefs for the same reason.

    I think all types of prefs are declining so I believe it is more of the same panic selling we saw a few years ago. I hope it continues, I would like to buy some more prefs.
