Sandy did some damage:

Citigroup Inc. (C), the third-largest U.S. bank, said its offices at 111 Wall St. will be unusable for weeks after Hurricane Sandy battered lower Manhattan with water and power outages.

“The building experienced severe flooding and will be out of commission for several weeks,” Chief Executive Officer Michael Corbat wrote in a memo to employees today.

The New York-based firm is still assessing when buildings at 388 and 390 Greenwich St. can reopen, a process complicated by power and transit outages, he said.

It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualPremiums gaining 5bp, FixedResets off 3bp and DeemedRetractibles up 11bp. Volatility was non-existent. Volume was extremely low.
