Although at a six-month high, it was only just above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction. In December the index came in at 50.6.<\/p>\n<p>Worryingly for policymakers, firms cut prices in January at the steepest rate since mid-2013. Data on Friday showed annual inflation was a record-equalling low of \u20130.6 per cent in January across the 19 nations using the euro.<\/p>\n<p>In Britain, manufacturing grew slightly faster but factories cut prices at the fastest pace since 2009.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2015-02-02\/if-trading-bonds-is-hard-think-about-the-pain-when-rates-rise\">new estimate for Treasury liquidity<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For decades, the $12.5 trillion market for U.S. government debt was renowned for its \u201cdepth,\u201d Wall Street\u2019s way of talking about a market\u2019s ability to handle large trades without big moves in prices. But lately, that resiliency has practically vanished &#8212; and that\u2019s a big worry.<\/p>\n<p>Less depth has meant greater volatility. So Treasuries &#8212; the world\u2019s haven asset during turmoil &#8212; may be prone to more disruptions, particularly as the Federal Reserve prepares to raise interest rates. And if investors begin to doubt whether they\u2019ll still be able to buy and sell on a moment\u2019s notice, that has the potential to elevate the U.S.\u2019s cost to borrow.<\/p>\n<p>How much depth has the market lost? A year ago, you could trade about $280 million of Treasuries without causing prices to move, according to JPMorgan Chase &#038; Co. Now, it\u2019s $80 million.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts up 54bp, FixedResets gaining 9bp and DeemedRetractibles off 6bp. The relatively mild index numbers masked a lot of individual changes, as the Performance Highlights table is its usual lengthy self. Volume was below average.<\/p>\n<p>For as long as the FixedReset market is so violently unsettled, I\u2019ll keep publishing updates of the more interesting and meaningful series of FixedResets\u2019 Implied Volatilities. This doesn\u2019t include Enbridge because although Enbridge has a large number of issues outstanding, all of which are quite liquid, the range of Issue Reset Spreads is too small for decent conclusions.
