That, however, wasn\u2019t the most remarkable takeaway from the SNB\u2019s quarterly report.<\/p>\n<p>More interesting than the massive loss was the line item in the SNB\u2019s balance sheet which shows that 18% of the bank\u2019s assets are held in foreign stocks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By &#8220;blew a hole&#8221;, he must be referring to the P&#038;L &#8211; the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snb.ch\/ext\/stats\/statmon\/pdf\/deen\/A1_Ausweise_der_SNB.pdf\">balance sheet bloated<\/a>, of course.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/prefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SNBStocks.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/prefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SNBStocks-300x290.jpg\" alt=\"SNBStocks\" width=\"400\" height=\"387\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28994\" \/><\/a><br \/><i>Click for Big<\/i><\/div>\n<p>Liquidity problems <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2015-05-07\/ecb-regulators-force-bond-bulls-to-escape-through-keyhole-\">continue to attract attention<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As bonds tumbled across Europe, the bid-ask spread, a gauge of the market\u2019s depth derived from the difference in prices or yields between buyers and sellers, widened. It reached 0.27 basis point for German 10-year bunds on Thursday, up from as low as 0.1 in March and an average of 0.2 this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show.<\/p>\n<p>That means sellers may be getting squeezed by a shortage of buyers. Adding to the risk of holding bonds, implied option volatility on German 10-year bund futures contracts surged in the past week to the highest since August 2012.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>Bonds have sold off in a global rout that wiped more than $430 billion from the market in the past week. A capitulation on long positions, or bets that prices will rise, was triggered by a shift in sentiment as improving economic data and rising oil prices prompted investors to revolt against record-low yields.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the magnitude of the decline wasn\u2019t justified by those economic numbers, none of which points to a big jump in inflation or interest rates, according to Rabobank\u2019s McGuire.<\/p>\n<p>The yield on Germany\u2019s 10-year bund, the benchmark euro-zone security, has surged 43 basis points since the start of last week to a high for 2015. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.<\/p>\n<p>The jump suggests that increased regulation may be hampering dealers\u2019 ability to make markets and that bond-purchase programs such as the European Central Bank\u2019s quantitative-easing plan have cut the amount of securities in circulation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Canadian preferred share market was on fire today, albeit very unevenly. Can I call this &#8220;on mixed fire&#8221;? PerpetualDiscounts gained 43bp, FixedResets were up 62bp, while DeemedRetractibles were off 6bp. The volume highlights table is, predictably, both lengthy and dominated by FixedResets.
