New issue municipal bond market heating up |
REUTERS - June 27, 2011 - (Reporting by Chip Barnett; additional reporting by Caryn Trokie and Michael Connor in Miami; Editing by Leslie Adler)
(Reuters) - Investors' attention will turn this week to new-issue supply in the $2.9 trillion U.S. municipal bond market as primary issuance rises.
Municipal debt will total about $7.7 billion this week, the highest level so far this year, according to estimates by Thomson Reuters on Friday.
"The primary calendar is finally beginning to show signs of picking up as average weekly volume has increased," according to a report released on Monday by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "As the primary market is beginning to pick up pace, secondary trade volume is declining."
Meanwhile, the latest fund flow data shows investors want higher-yielding securities for the short-term, according to a report issued on Monday by Citigroup Global Markets.
"Patterns in bond fund flows as shown in the Lipper Data statistics show little sign of a return to significant continuing positive flows," Citigroup said.
"All of the 'action' was in the short-term/limited-term category, which turned sharply positive ($228 million versus negative $19 million) and high-yield funds, which moved deeper into positive territory ($101 million versus $39 million)," Citigroup wrote.
"Indeed, the high-yield funds have stayed positive for the last three weeks and (the flow) is the strongest since late October 2010," the report stated.
Investors searching for higher yield this week can look no further than Puerto Rico.
