China is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2016-03-15\/china-said-to-draft-rules-for-tobin-tax-on-currency-transactions\">drafting a Tobin Tax<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>China\u2019s central bank has drafted rules for a tax on foreign-exchange transactions that would help curb currency speculation, according to people with knowledge of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The initial rate of the so-called Tobin tax may be kept at zero to allow authorities time to refine the rules, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. The tax is not designed to disrupt hedging and other foreign-exchange transactions undertaken by companies, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Imposing a levy on foreign-exchange trading would be the most extreme step yet by policy makers to prevent speculative bets against the Chinese currency, after state-run banks repeatedly intervened to support the yuan and the government intensified a crackdown on capital outflows. A Tobin tax would complicate plans by China to create an international reserve currency and could undermine the leadership\u2019s pledge to increase the role of market forces in the world\u2019s second-largest economy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts down 11bp, FixedResets gaining 10bp and DeemedRetractibles off 7bp.
