Municipal bond issuance rose for the third month in a row in May, raising expectations that vol-ume is on a path toward normalcy.

Brainard Says Policy May Become More Restrictive

With gradual tightening continuing, mon-etary policy will become slightly restrictive as the neutral rate remains low, Federal Reserve Board Gov. Lael Brainard said Thursday.

“This outlook suggests a policy path that moves gradually from modestly accommo-dative today to neutral — and, after some time, modestly beyond neutral — against the backdrop of a longer run neutral rate that is likely to remain low by historical standards,” Brainard said in remarks pre-pared for delivery in New York, released by the Fed.

While the neutral rate should rise over the medium term, but her long-term outlook for the neutral rate remains.

“I expect current tailwinds to boost the neutral rate gradually over the medium term but leave little imprint on the long-run neutral rate,” she said.

“I continue to view gradual increases in the federal funds rate as the appropriate path,” Brainard added, “although I will re-main vigilant for the emergence of risks and prepared to adjust if conditions change.”

Discussing the flattening yield curve, Brainard noted, “So while I will keep a close watch on the yield curve as an important signal on how tight financial conditions are becoming, I consider it as just one among several important indicators. Yield curve movements will need to be interpreted within the broader context of financial conditions and the outlook and will be one of many considerations informing my assessment of appropriate policy.”

Brainard also noted the forward-guidance language in the post-meeting statements that the fed funds rate is likely to remain be-low its long-run levels “is growing stale and may no longer serve its original purpose.”

Personal Income Data Show Inflation Just Below Target

Nominal personal consumption expendi-tures rose 0.6% in April, a stronger gain that expected, while core PCE prices rose 0.2% to keep the year/year rate at 1.8% after a March revision, both factors that will weigh on the minds of analysts ahead of the June FOMC meeting, data released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis Thursday morning suggested.

The core price index’s 1.8% year/year rise in April was unchanged from March after that month’s year/year pace was revised down after rounding. Either way, it remains well above the 1.5% rate seen in the first two months of the year before a special factor in March 2017 rolled out of the calculation.

The 0.6% gain in current dollar PCE, well ahead of the 0.4% rise expected, followed an upward revised 0.5% gain in March. Spending on durable goods rose 0.3% in the month, while nondurable goods spend-ing jumped 0.9% on a 1.5% gain in energy prices. Services spending was up 0.5%.

Real PCE was up only 0.4% in April, as the overall PCE price index was up 0.2% due to that gain in energy prices. The overall price index was up 2.0% year/year, the same as in March.

As the last of the week’s larger new issues came to market, municipal bonds finished stronger on Thursday. Munis held on to the gains made earlier in the week as Trea-sury bonds also strengthened, while stocks slumped.

“As of late, muni market participants have been actively discussing supportive market technicals,” said said Mikhail Foux, director of municipal research at Barclays Capital. “Large summer redemptions are not new, and net issuance is almost always negative from June until August. Nevertheless, tax-ex-empts have frequently been underperforming Treasuries during those months. We believe that it might be rather hard for high grade tax-exempts to outperform Treasuries in the near term, and this week’s price action proves this point.”

Municipal bonds were stronger on Thurs-day, according to a late read of the MBIS benchmark scale. Benchmark muni yields fell as much as two basis points in the one-

to 30-year matur-ities.

H i g h - g r a d e munis were also stronger, with yields calculated on MBIS’ AAA scale falling by as much as one basis point across the curve.

Municipal Mar-ket Data’s AAA benchmark scale was unchanged, with yields steady in the 10-year general obligation muni and flat in the 30-year muni maturity.

Treasury bonds were stronger, with both the 10- and 30-year maturities yielding under 3%. Stock prices traded lower throughout the day.

On Thursday, the 10-year muni-to-Trea-sury ratio was calculated at 84.8% while

Market News

Municipals Hang On to Gains as Week’s Last Deals Pricethe 30-year mu-ni-to-Treasury rat io s tood at 95.2%, according to MMD. The muni-to-Treasury ratio compares the yield of tax-ex-empt municipal bonds with the yield of taxable U.S. Treasury with comparable maturities. If the

muni/Treasury ratio is above 100%, munis are yielding more than Treasury; if it is below 100%, munis are yielding less.

Treasury yields were being pulled lower by concerns around the future of Italy’s fi-nances and its membership in the European Union, Bill Merz, a director of fixed income at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said a Wednesday market comment. Currently, Treasury yields are trading below the key technical level of 3%.

“Fundamentals still support modestly higher bond yields due to Fed rate hikes, rising inflation expectations, robust Treasury

issuance and softer foreign demand for Trea-suries. We continue to prefer shorter maturity bonds across asset classes, which offer com-pelling yields with less price risk from rising rates,” Merz said.

“Large summer redemptions are not new, and net issuance is almost always negative from June until August. Nevertheless, tax-ex-empts have frequently been underperforming Treasuries during those months. We believe that it might be rather hard for high grade tax-exempts to outperform Treasuries in the near term, and this week’s price action proves this point.”

What Italy’s Government Machinations Mean for MunisThe recent government machinations in

Italy and the consequent market reactions in sovereign bonds and currencies are reminis-cent of the fallout earlier this decade from developments in Greece. Although Italy’s GDP is not growing as fast as officials would desire, the finances are not encountering as much difficulty as Greece. What are the im-plications for the municipal market?

The volatility that was on display earlier this week with Italian bonds could easily hap-pen here once again. We have a significant mid-term election that has the possibility of redirecting fiscal and monetary policy until 2020. Although we have a federal budget agreement for a couple of years, factors could change rapidly after that period of bipartisan agreement.

Of course, we are not concerned about any currency change, but we are focused on a stronger or weaker dollar. Though a some-what weaker dollar may serve to support more trade, it is far from clear whether we are going to have a renegotiated NAFTA and whether or not we will have much higher tariffs on foreign goods, including up to a potential 25% on imported vehicles.

Municipals rallied significantly along with Treasury equivalents as Italy has veered. In some aspects, municipals even out-rallied

the taxable markets. We reversed course after the last couple of days as the equity markets recovered from the initial shock.

The initial reactions in the municipal mar-ket could have been even more pronounced. Underlying the bid in the market and the

market tone is the sharp reduction in munic-ipal supply. Supply YTD is running about 22% below last year’s volume. This condition begs the question: what will happen when we have a spike in supply with one of the many percolating event risks taking place simul-taneously? I trust that you already know the answer. Spreads have the tendency to widen holding other factors constant.

The market has not violently overreacted because we know that the economy is in fine shape at the moment. Corporate earnings have been strong, as we have just witnessed through the cycle, and unemployment is at a decade-plus low. We are just ever vigilant about what domestic policies or global forces may upend the balance.

The bid side for municipal paper remains strong, in part due to the continuing positive flows to the mutual funds. In the new tax environment, even though some demand is undoubtedly affected by the reduced corpo-rate rate, many individuals leaving out high net worth individuals are more affected by the cap on SALT deductibility. There are few alternatives to the favorable status of the tax exemption.

The recent volatility has proven that many municipal investors are in the product for the long haul. They need that coupon. It hasn’t caused municipal investors to either pile in or to flee from the paper. The only real com-

ponent of the buyer base that can exhibit this behavior and to take advantage of disloca-tions is the institutional side.

There is no real fear of contagion in our market at present. Despite a cautious ap-proach to acting as principal and taking on more exposure, the broker-dealers have been providing ample liquidity. Bid lists are often posted and have been withdrawn or cancelled at times. The lists that are out there tend to be well bid. We do not see this changing, given the present tone.

Of course, the FED is a stabilizing force when the markets are in flux. The FED has been careful about tightening and slowing the application as the data dictates.

If the Eurozone is to be challenged by a potential exit by Italy, there is no doubt there would be a marked reaction in the markets. We would expect that municipals would re-act in a partially correlated way with the Treasury market. However, given the prob-able supply scenario remaining at a lower level, we would not expect municipals to overcompensate. What is instructive about the situation in Italy is that fiscal policy can be radically changed in swift fashion. We await the mid-terms for clues about the future course for the market.

ber,” said Mary Colby, vice president and head of municipal research a Charles Schwab Investment Management. Colby said change has been so dramatic in the muni market from that time, noting for example the sharp decline in bond insurance coverage.

Tom Doe, president of Municipal Market Analytics, said that although the marketplace has access to far more data now than it did ten years ago, some of the fundamental chal-lenges have not gone away.

“Trading really hasn’t changed in terms of the volume,” Doe said. “Liquidity remains an issue. We don’t have more liquidity just because we have more offerings, more bonds available.”

Doe said that the market has not yet per-fected how to use all the data now available. A former Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board member, Doe said that the MSRB has now effectively joined the data vendor pool as the amount of data it collects and dissem-inates has grown over the years. “They are now a player in the vendor space,” Doe said, adding that he and others have speculated that the MSRB should split into rulemaking and data divisions.

Doe said current increases in risky issu-ances as a percentage of the overall market -- a product of the low interest rate environ-ment that has persisted since the crisis -- are somewhat similar to the run-up to the crisis when risky issuance became more common for several quarters.

The panelists also discussed the significant regulatory changes that occurred as a result of the crisis, saying that they were generally

well-intentioned but in some cases were not effective or were misguided.

“I think the concern with systemic risk was well-placed,” said Rick Cosgrove, a partner at the law firm of Chapman and Cut-ler. But despite the efforts of lawmakers to reduce systemic risk through the Dodd-Frank Act, Cosgrove said, some of the banks are larger than they were before the crisis.

Colby and Cosgrove also agreed that ten-der option bonds, or TOBs, were unfairly swept up in regulatory changes. The Volcker Rule, named for former Federal Reserve Board chairman Paul Volcker and part of Dodd-Frank, was aimed at restricting pro-prietary trading by banks. The rule restricted banks and their affiliates from sponsoring a TOB program or owning a residual certifi-cate issued by a TOB trust, forcing bankers to come up with new structures to cover the market. “A lot of us felt TOBs got mistreat-ed,” said Cosgrove.

Moderator Alex Wallace, a managing di-rector at U.S. Bank, said he thinks Dodd-Frank‘s creation of a municipal advisor regulatory regime was responsible for the popularity of bank direct lending over the past decade.

“The municipal advisor rule has been a significant change in our marketplace,” said Wallace. “I do believe that additional burden contributed to an increased interest in the direct purchase market.”

Panelists said they are not convinced the market is prepared for the next potential cri-sis.

“I think the jury is out, Doe said.“I think we have a lot of work to do,” Wal-

lace said. q

TRENDS IN THE REGIONFar West

Firm Pinpoints Governments FacingGreatest Risks From Climate Change

climate risk into their municipal ratings, they lack concrete metrics that compare and assess how cities and counties are exposed to specific hazards, according to a report the company released last week.

Four Twenty Seven provides local cli-mate risk scores that provide comparable, forward-looking data to fill this gap, Maz-zacurati said.

“Each city and county is assigned a score based on how it ranks nationwide, which provides investors with comparable detail to complement the assessments of credit rating agencies,” according to the report.

The firm took global climate change models used by international research in-stitutions and created a set of scores for U.S. cities and counties above a certain population, she said.

The software application created by Four Twenty Seven processes trillions of bytes of data boiling it down to a few characteristics, she said. For instance, the firm can compare flooding problems in various counties and rank them on a risk basis.

The report outlines the firm’s approach to measuring exposure to climate hazards and pinpoints the cities and counties most exposed to the impacts of climate change.

“This new dataset provides a compre-hensive suite of risk scores to better inform ratings and pricing decisions,” Mazzacurati said. “The risk scores will be very helpful for all market participants, including muni bond investors, local governments, and ratings agencies.”

The research targets five major climate categories: cyclones and hurricanes, sea level rise, extreme rainfall, heat stress, and water stress. It covers all 3,143 U.S. coun-ties and 761 cities with populations over 50,000 as of 2015.

“This fits squarely in the realm of in-formation that the market wants to know – including us,” said Kurt Forsgren, an S&P Global Ratings analyst.

Four Twenty Seven appears to be the first to release this sort of data, but there are oth-er companies with similar efforts that are trying to provide such information down to zip codes, Forsgren said.

“As a market participant, we recognize there are credit risks associated with chang-es in the environment,” Forsgren said. “We would be a consumer of this information. Much as we look at long-term forecasts of financials and look at engineering reports to form credit views, we would be very interested in this information.”

S&P and Moody’s Investors Service both released reports in 2017 explaining their methodologies for incorporating climate change into their municipal credit ratings. Fitch Ratings just released a report Tuesday explaining its approach.

“Our earlier piece recognized that the muni market has had risks like this for years. There have always been hurricanes,” Forsgren said. “What is different is that we are getting more, and better information, of what those risks are, and we have begun to see what the exposures are if those risks are not addressed.”

The rating agencies all consider financial management, planning and the economic diversity of the municipalities in their ap-proaches.

But in the absence of forward-looking climate projections, the estimates used by the rating agencies “may grossly underes-timate the magnitude of future risks, or at least fail to characterize the type of climate risks that may eventually make it more dif-ficult for a municipality to meet its financial obligations,” according to the firm’s report.

Moody’s published a report in Novem-ber listing six indicators it uses “to assess the exposure and overall susceptibility of U.S. states to the physical effects of cli-mate change.” For instance, the indicators included the share of economic activity for the states that comes from coastal areas or homes located in a flood plain.

Fitch Ratings analysts wrote that they

consider environmental factors in their credit ratings through the lens of a fun-damental credit risk. Fitch also noted that “the federal government approved $130 billion in aid for natural disasters last year, a considerable 0.7% of the country’s $19.7 trillion economy.”

Fitch analysts said they don’t anticipate such a scenario, but added that if the federal government pulled back on its current level of aid it would be a credit negative for cities and counties.

The federal government’s role in disaster response is critical in mitigating natural disaster risk for ratings on state and local governments,” said Michael Rinaldi, a Fitch senior director.

With the exception of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, rating actions directly linked to climate change or natural disasters have historically been limited; but the kind of damage to vital infrastructure and wide-spread depopulation that occurred during Katrina have become more commonplace, most recently with the hurricanes that struck the southeast last year, Fitch said.

In addition to providing information to rating agencies and investors, the compa-ny’s analysis can also help municipalities better prepare for natural disasters, said Nik Steinberg, Four Twenty Seven’s director of analytics.

Every region of the country has unique vulnerabilities to weather-related disasters, according to the report.

The coastal areas with the highest ex-posure to problems from rising sea levels are the San Francisco Bay Area, the Pacific Northwest, New Jersey and Virginia in the mid-Atlantic region and North Carolina and Florida.

The southeast has the greatest exposure to cyclone and hurricane risk, which tend to be less frequent and weaker in the mid-At-lantic and Northeast. The Midwest has the greatest exposure to heightened flood risk due to changing rainfall patterns.

Drought and the potential for wildfires

falls in the “water stress” category – a con-dition expected to worsen in the Southwest, Pacific Northwest and Western Pacific.

Eight major cities in California could face downgrades in the absence of water supply alternatives and sustained cutbacks in use, according to the report.

Key watersheds for agricultural produc-tion such as the Central Valley aquifer sys-tem in California and the Ogallala Aquifer in the Great Plains are highly exposed to water stress.

The agriculturally-dominated areas of Bakersfield, Delano, and Visalia, Califor-nia, along the Central Valley Aquifer are among the ten cities most exposed to water stress. Similarly, municipalities along the Ogallala Aquifer in the Great Plains also rely heavily on agriculture and are among the most exposed to water stress.

The Southeast and the Midwest, concen-trated in Missouri and western Illinois and fanning out to the Great Plains, Mississippi River Basin and Florida, have the greatest exposure to heat stress.

Rising temperatures pose “serious risks to the nation’s energy infrastructure and labor force,” according to the report.

The highest heat stress scores in the re-port tend to be centered in the Southeast and Midwest, concentrated in Missouri and western Illinois and then fanning out to the Great Plains, Mississippi River Basin, and Florida. The desert Southwest and agricul-turally-dominated counties in the Sacra-mento Valley and southeastern Washington State also had high heat scores.

Extreme temperatures grounded flights in Phoenix last July and could drive up en-ergy costs for car manufacturers that have moved to Missouri, the report said. q

Settlement is in Sight for Harvey Pension Intercept DisputeCHICAGO – Harvey, Illinois, and its

pension funds are working to finalize a settlement that would free up some state-intercepted revenues for the fis-cally distressed city while satisfying the funds’ demands for overdue contri-butions.

A court hearing scheduled Thursday before Cook County Circuit Court Judge Raymond Mitchell on a preliminary injunction involving the status of $2.3 million intercepted by state Comptroller Susana Mendoza was moved to Tuesday.

“Hopefully, we are there,” said Har-vey’s attorney, Bob Fioretti of Roth Fio-retti LLC. “We are working to satisfy the statutory pension requirements by 2040 and meet the needs of the city.”

Fioretti cautioned that the deal was far from final and the city has seen pre-vious settlements it thought were on firm ground fall apart.

The percentages each would receive from the pot of about $7 million in state collected city revenues also could change.

The police fund has agreed to the lat-est settlement version and the firefight-ers’ fund board was slated to consider it by the end of the week so it could be presented to the judge Tuesday.

Firefighters’ fund attorney Andrew

Schwartz, of Schwartz & Kanyock LLC, confirmed the fund was working on a settlement but declined any further com-ment. The police fund’s lawyer, Michael Moirano, of Moirano Gorman Kenny LLC, did not respond to a request for comment.

The fiscally distressed city had been seeking to keep at least 75% of its funds to cover payroll and critical services but the latest settlement version requires the city to give up more.

“The city is tightening its budget” to address the higher amount it would forgo, Fioretti said.

The Harvey fund diversions are the first to take place under a 2011 public safety pension funding law that allows for “state funds” to be intercepted to pay overdue actuarially based contri-butions to pension funds. The police fund was the first to file to cover a $7 million judgment and firefighters soon after filed requesting payment on a $12 million judgment.

The city challenged the police fund’s certified diversion request.

Mendoza concluded her review last week of the city’s protest, finding that the police fund was eligible to receive the city’s share of state sales taxes and other funds.

The office has concluded it has no discretion under the law to divvy up the

revenue between the pension funds or the city.

The judge granted a temporary re-straining order last week blocking the comptroller’s distribution of the $2.3 million to the police fund. The court did free up the city’s share of home rule sales taxes after the comptroller’s con-cluded they don’t count as “state funds.”

Those funds had previously been go-ing directly to the trustee -- Amalgam-ated Bank of Chicago -- on $6 million of city revenue bonds along with the city’s share of state sales taxes. State sales taxes are now subject to intercep-tion, but the freed-up home rule reve-nue should be sufficient to cover about $600,000 in annual debt service.

The settlement is complicated by con-flicts between the police and firefighter funds. The police fund was the first to submit an official claim and has argued it should receive priority status. The firefighters’ fund argues it should share in the funds. The individual boards are also divided among retiree members and working members who have divergent interests.

Mitchell has made clear during recent hearings of his preference for a settle-ment and the comptroller’s office, which is represented by Attorney General Lisa Madigan, hopes also for a settlement or guidance on how to manage claims.

Market participants are watching closely to see how the Harvey case plays out because it raises short- and long-term questions. Rating agencies have warned a flood of other pension funds could follow the Harvey funds’ lead and there are several hundred that have been shorted by their government sponsors.

The intercept also has sparked wor-ries that bondholders’ legal claims will fall behind pensioners and could lead to impairment as distressed governments look for ways to preserve funding for critical services.

Moody’s Investors Service warned this week in a report that certification of the police fund’s diversion represented a credit negative for all of the state’s lo-cal governments as it further reinforces the idea that holders of Illinois local government bonds fall behind pension funds.

If a settlement is finalized, Harvey’s lawsuit challenging the legality of the diversion of funds will be dropped so questions over the law’s enforcement and priority status won’t be settled un-less there is a challenge in another city.

Harvey’s lawsuit argues that critical services and bondholders have a supe-rior claim to the pension judgments and its revenues can’t be diverted to cover judgments. q

The Puerto Rico Senate refused to give in to an Oversight Board demand on labor regulations, the latest episode in a struggle over policy measures intended to pull the territory out of recession and help in the payment of its debt.

The Senate on Wednesday voted 22-9 for a measure that would introduce at-will employment only for employees entering the workforce in the future. The Oversight Board had demanded a repeal of Law 80 — which since 1976 has allowed Puerto Rico employees to appeal terminations — for all of the island’s workers.

The repeal of the law was part of a May 20 compromise between the board and

Gov. Ricardo Rosselló over the board’s April-approved fiscal plan. The board agreed to drop the plan’s elimination of the Christmas bonus and reductions to mandatory vacation and sick days. In ex-change, the governor agreed to introduce at-will employment on the island.

In the agreement with the board, the governor said that he would approve at-will employment on or before June 27 and that the new status would become effective on Jan. 1, 2019.

Senators from the governor’s New Progressive Party voted in favor of the watered down termination law change. Members of the Popular Democratic Party, one member of the Independence Party, and one unaffiliated Senator cast the op-

position votes.“We said that we were not going to re-

peal Law 80 and we did not repeal it, we said that we were going to protect the workers and we are doing it, this remains clear,” said Senate President Thomas Ri-vera Schatz, a member of the NPP with the governor.

On Thursday the board said that the Senate’s action is “inconsistent with the understanding reached with the govern-ment and with the revised Fiscal Plan.”

It remains to be seen how the conflict over the employment laws plays out.

However, on Thursday, board Chairman José Carrión, said, “The [fiscal plan’s] fiscal and structural reforms, including the changes proposed by the governor which

are contingent on the approval of legisla-tion by the end of this fiscal year to make Puerto Rico an ‘at-will employment’ juris-diction (repeal of Law 80) for current and new employees, will help return growth to our island’s economy.”

On Thursday the board released a re-certified fiscal plan with changes to labor reforms and other sections from the April-approved plan. If Puerto Rico’s gov-ernment were not to repeal Law 80, the board could conceivably try to force the local government’s hand on the matter and also return to the April plan’s stricter approach on other labor policies.

The board said it agreed to the new re-certified fiscal plan by unanimous writ-ten consent. q

The Bond Buyer14 Friday, June 1, 2018Market Statistics

Volume Shows Signs of Life

new money issuance is up. We believe that this trend is firmly entrenched this year and possibly in 2019.”

Supply has picked in the second quar-ter from the first quarter, when volume reflected the absence of deals that were issued in fourth quarter of 2017 as munic-ipalities sold bonds early ahead of the tax legislation.

“May is a second $30 billion month in a row, but I doubt we see a $40 billion month this year,” Foux said. “June’s supply will also likely be in the $30 billion range, and issuance typically declines in July and through August. Our 2018 gross long-dated supply forecast is $280 billion, we are on pace to slightly exceed this number, but likely not by much.”

Tom Kozlik, managing director and mu-nicipal strategist at PNC noted that back in 2011, issuance did not ‘normalize’ until June, after Build America Bonds expired.

“So I think we are closer now, except we need to remember that now comparing to the previous year is not a good comparison because of the ban on advance refundings,” he said.

Refunding volume dwindled to $5.39 billion in 135 deals from $12.21 billion in 293 deals a year earlier.

Combined new-money and refunding issuance plummeted 85.2% to $1.61 billion, while issuance of revenue bonds dropped 22.3% to $19.21 billion, and general obli-gation bond sales fell to $11.71 billion from $14 billion.

Negotiated deal volume was down to $21.41 billion and competitive sales in-creased by 45.3% to $9.19 billion.

“As a share of total issuance, competitive deals should increase – May is not a one-off,” said Foux. “Low supply and rate vol-atility incentivizes larger, more established issuers to go the competitive route, where they get better transparency and at times better execution.”

Kozlik added that the uptick may also reflect the increased amount of new money sales, and less complicated deals, as well as the fact that there are requirements in some states that make issuers price new-money only deals on a competitive basis.

Taxable bond volume dipped to $2.53

billion from $3.61 billion, while tax-exempt issuance decreased by 20.5% to $26.68 bil-lion. Minimum tax bonds dipped to $1.71 billion from $1.53 billion.

Fixed-rate bonds issuance fell to $28.91 billion from $36.13 billion, while sales of variable-rate short put bonds dropped 68% to $490 million and long variable-rate deals rose 48.7% to $1.19 billion from $799 million.

“Long-dated FRN issuance is up, which typically happens when rates increase, as investors are starting to worry about dura-tions of their portfolios. Meanwhile, from the issuers’ point of view FRN is one way of dealing with the loss of advance refund-ings,” Foux said.

Three of the 10 sectors showed year-over-year increases, as electric power trans-actions more than tripled to $988 million

from $306 million, transportation deals rose to $5.92 billion from $3.77 billion and gen-eral purpose bonds gained to $6.41 billion from $5.87 billion.

The other seven sectors were in the red with the biggest drops coming from en-vironmental facilities, which fell to $41.9 million from 436.9 million; development, which was at $466 million compared with $3 billion; and health care at $1.93 billion from $4.44 billion.

Four types of issuers were in the green. Direct issuers were up to $742 million from $91 million, colleges and universities in-creased to $2.67 billion from $1.74 billion, state governments gained to $2.66 billion from 2.58 billion and tribal governments to $69 million from $21 million.

“Part of the reason transportation and general government monthly issuance is up, is because of the large par of individual issues,” said Kozlik.

“Something to note here is that we might be seeing issuers finally increase their new money issuance. For years issuers were not doing this because they were repairing their balance sheets.”

California continues to have the most issuance among states so far in 2018. The Golden State has issued $19.56 billion; New York is second with $15.67 billion; Texas is third with $12.19 billion; Pennsyl-vania is next with $7.35 billion; and New Jersey rounds out the top five with $4.78 billion. q

The Municipal Bond Index presented today employs the coefficient derived from the May 15, 2018 pricing,

when it was set at 1.0614. The average price represents the simple average price of the 40 bonds. The yield

to par call is computed from the average price, the average coupon (4.13%), and the average first par call

date ( May 20, 2026). Noncallable bonds are included in the par call yield calculations, with their maturity

dates serving as their par call dates in the calculations. The yield to maturity is computed from the average

price, the average coupon, and the average maturity date (April 04, 2045).
