By James McCandless
San Antonio, June 28 – Secondary trading in the preferred market saw increased volume with an overall positive bent.
Priority Income Fund, Inc.’s new $34 million term preferred stock due 2025 was seen trading below par.
Deutsche Bank AG’s 8.05% trust preferred securities led the secondary market as the company failed the latest round of Federal Reserve stress tests.
MetLife, Inc.’s $805 million of 5.625% series E non-cumulative preferred shares gained.
Energy Transfer Partners, LP’s 7.375% series C fixed-to-floating rate cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred units rose.
