The municipal market generally saw a solid, yet quiet, summer week ahead of another upcoming calendar.
“Demand remained stable bolstered by continued municipal fund inflows,” said Shaun Burgess of Cumberland Advisors.
However, there is a preference for attractive returns as municipal yields remain at historic lows.
“Cheap deals where participants found additional spread continue to get oversubscribed,” Burgess said Friday.
As the market prepares for the $1.13 billion Dallas, Texas, deal and the pricing of over $1 billion of California Department of Water Resources revenue bonds, the market will be eager to participate.
“The market should be able to absorb the supply — contingent on yield of course,” Burgess added.
