RE:RE:Prefs continue to trek higherTrue, it's an inverse relationship. The rising share price is currently pushing the yield lower. However, investors may be willing to pay more for the prefs today in anticipation that the payment rate/yield may get a bump up later this year.

This would force central banks to pause on further rate cuts and in fact may lead to a reversal. This is helping to move the prefs up. Another all-time high today.
