June 17, 2013

Overall it was mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualPremiums gaining 3bp, FixedResets up 5bp and DeemedRetractibles off 1bp. The averages concealed a lot of underlying volatility, however, as the Performance Highlights table is quite lengthy and features a number of BAM FixedReset losers. Volume was quite high.
