   Not all week over the ocean:

   The dollar rises as investors seek safe havens following a selloff in long-dated U.K. and European government bonds on concerns over French politics and the U.K.’s fiscal sustainability, XTB’s Kathleen Brooks says in a note. “The dollar is the top performer in the G-10 FX space on Tuesday, as investors rush to the world’s most liquid asset,” she says. Yields on long-dated U.K., German and French government bonds hit multi-year highs as French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou isn’t expected to survive a confidence vote on September 8 and U.K. debt levels are rising.

   Even with all the ups and downs it beats the Canada Pension bullshit, imagine putting that cash elsewhere other than the gov’t fingers. And they tax you on the pension cheque for one more kick in the ass!

   The maximum Canada Pension Plan (CPP) retirement pension payment in 2025 is $1,398.58 per month ($16,783 annually) for someone starting their pension at age 65.

   To qualify for the maximum CPP retirement pension in 2025, a contributor must have maximized their contribution for 40 year.
