I don’t usually provide mid-day comments on the market, but this is really interesting.
As of about 1pm, PerpetualDiscounts have lost 43bp and FixedResets are down 77bp, with three issues in the latter class down over 2% on the day so far: IAG.PR.C, MFC.PR.D and GWO.PR.J
There are many, many issues down between 1% and 2%.
Makes sense to me since the headline risk surrounding the insurers still significant and maybe fear of dividend cuts?
