Billions Worth of Muni Deals Are Stuck in Limbo as Yields Soar | Stock Market News
Several big US municipal bond sales are being delayed because yields jumped to the highest since at least 2011. Borrowers like Los Angeles, Nashville and New Jersey are waiting for calmer markets. Costlier borrowing affects businesses everywhere, including Indian firms that raise money abroad. So if you plan overseas funding, keep buffer time and avoid locking rates in a choppy market.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The yield on 30-year municipal debt climbed to 5.18%, the highest since at least January 2011 and up about 60 basis points in a month.
- A $1.8 billion Los Angeles Convention Center sale and a roughly $1.7 billion New Jersey transportation bond sale were both put on hold.
- About $2.3 billion of municipal deals moved to day-to-day status, and roughly $1.5 billion of that was meant to refinance old debt for savings.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business is planning a large loan or bond issue, speak to your finance team about keeping extra time in the funding schedule, because rates can move fast and pricing windows may close without warning.
