CEF Weekly Review: The Difficulties Of High-Quality CEFs
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the second week of December and highlight recent market action. CEFs mostly declined this week due to a 0.25% rise in 10-year Treasury yields, with only the loan sector showing a slight NAV gain. The BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund (EGF) will merge into BlackRock Income Trust (BKT); high-quality funds like these are not ideal in CEFs.

CEF Weekly Commentary | December 10, 2023 | High Quality Opportunities
Stocks were up slightly as the jobs report shifted the narrative towards 'higher for longer.' The payroll report came in stronger than expected, but the narrative was that it was a hawkish report, meaning higher rates for longer.
