November 22, 2013

Nothing happened today, except for more server-fiddling.

It was another mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts down 10bp, FixedResets up 13bp and DeemedRetractibles off 2bp. Volatility was low. Volume was above average, led by two FloatingReset issues.
