RE:RE:RE:RE:Volatility in markets Not sure on that one, FED is caught between a rock and a hard place. Higher interest rates also means that the HUGE debt ran up by the US, in the trillions with a few more trillion $planned for an infrastructure bill...will become almost impossible to service. At 0% interest rates its sustainable, but maybe not if paying 2% on it...
The other side of that coin, is the impending market crash that would follow a couple interest rate hikes.... all in all ,not good for the economy

BUT last nights close the UNIT NAV was 4 cents above the OCT 29 numbers up to $17.18
However today a huge drop in the CAD vs the USD is giving a fairly nice boost to the US banks and holdings in FFN, on top of the green looking list there.
Not sure what is the cause of the rising USD....inflation good for it?
