PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.54%, equivalent to 7.20% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 4.05%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 315bp, a slight (and perhaps spurious) narrowing from the 320bp reported September 12.

September 14, 2018

To my astonishment, the media have not picked up on the Hydro One downgrade I mentioned yesterday. Have we entered the Trump-zone, in which repercussions from old idiocies are overwhelmed by contemplation of new idiocies?

Market Action

September 13, 2018

S&P downgraded Hydro One today:

•The Government of Ontario recently implemented legislation, requiring Hydro One’s board of directors to establish a new executive compensation framework for the board, CEO, and other executives. The legislation also amends the current Ontario Energy Board Act, requiring the Ontario Energy Board to exclude any compensation paid to the CEO and other executives from consumer rates.
•We consider such action as a governance deficiency related to Hydro One’s ownership structure and are lowering our management and governance (M&G) assessment on Hydro One Ltd. (HOL) and Hydro One Inc. (HOI) to fair from satisfactory.
•At the same time, we are lowering the issuer credit ratings on both HOL and HOI by one notch to ‘A-‘ from ‘A’, reflecting the change in our M&G assessment.
•We are also lowering the issue-level rating on HOI’s senior unsecured debt to ‘A-‘, the rating on its commercial paper program to ‘A-2’, and the global short-term and Canadian National Scale ratings to ‘A-1 (Low)’.•All ratings remain on CreditWatch with negative implications.

Well done, Doug Ford! Does anybody want to try their hand at calculating how much the downgrade may be expected to cost us due to increased interest charges on Hydro One’s debt as it rolls over?:

•Hydro One Inc. currently has $9,923 billion [sic] in public long-term debt outstanding.

Market Action

September 12, 2018

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.53%, equivalent to 7.19% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield just a hair under 4.00%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 320bp, a slight (and perhaps spurious) narrowing from the 325bp reported September 5.

Does anybody know what has happened to the Perimeter Financial website at www.pfin.ca? It’s been down for three days now and I have been unable to find any information about it … or to have various eMails returned …

Jobs, jobs, jobs!

The American economy’s stamina was showcased Friday as the government reported that wages in August sprinted forward at their fastest pace since the recession ended and that the job creation streak extended to 95 months.
…
Employers fattened payrolls by 201,000 jobs; the jobless rate remained under 4 percent, near territory not seen since the 1960s; and average hourly earnings rose by 10 cents, up 2.9 percent from a year earlier.

The manufacturing sector, however, which Mr. Trump has made a centerpiece of his economic and trade policies, registered fewer gains than had been previously thought. The combined addition of 93,000 jobs that the government originally reported for May, June and July was revised down to 62,000. And in August, the sector shed 3,000 jobs. The auto industry, which is particularly exposed to trade, eliminated 4,900 jobs last month after cutting 3,500 in July.

In Canada, not so much:

Canada’s seesawing employment report posted particularly volatile numbers last month that showed big, mid-summer gains had essentially been wiped out by August.

The economy lost 51,600 net jobs last month in a decrease that helped drive the national unemployment rate to six per cent, up from 5.8 per cent in July, Statistics Canada reported Friday in its monthly labour force survey.

Last month’s drop, fuelled by the loss of 92,000 part-time positions, largely eliminated July’s healthy net increase of 54,100 positions.

However, August also featured a notable bright spot: full-time jobs rose by 40,400.
