Treasuries fell and gold erased its loss for the year.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>The probability of a Fed interest rate increase by the December policy meeting has dropped to 30 percent, down from 70 percent at the start of August, according to futures data compiled by Bloomberg.

(Husky or the Company) at A (low) as well as its Commercial Paper rating at R-1 (low) and its Preferred Shares \u2013 Cumulative rating at Pfd-2 (low), all with Stable trends. DBRS believes that Husky is in a good position to ride the challenging commodity price environment among its domestic peers given (a) Husky\u2019s relatively low leverage; (b) reasonable liquidity and no material long-term debt refinancing risk over the next three years; (c) strong earnings and cash flow contributions from the Liwan Gas Project (Liwan) offshore China and the Company\u2019s downstream business, which are not tied directly to oil prices; and (d) the near completion of the major capital-intensive projects \u2013 Liwan and Sunrise Energy (Sunrise) \u2013 reducing capital expenditure (capex) commitments going forward. The Stable trend incorporates DBRS\u2019s expectation that key credit metrics will weaken materially in 2015, but will remain above average among DBRS-rated investment-grade peers in Canada; however, a negative rating action could be taken if key credit metrics remain under pressure on a sustained basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a whole new world for Canadian preferred share investors today!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/prefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/the-tropical-beach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/prefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/the-tropical-beach-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"the-tropical-beach\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30885\" \/><\/a><br \/><i>Click for Big<\/i><\/div>\n<p>It was a very good day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts gaining 28bp, FixedResets up 73bp and DeemedRetractibles winning 109bp.
