Municipalities are preparing a decent slate consisting heavily of taxable bonds for sale this week following a holiday-shortened week with little activity.

For most of this year, the municipal bond market has been buttressed by cash coming out of hiding.

Investors last week handed municipal bond mutual funds the puniest slug of cash in seven months, cementing the slower trend of new money flowing to the industry.

With the Thanksgiving holiday on the menu, issuers, underwriters, and bankers have very few deals scheduled to take place during the shortened trading week.

Just because money’s on the sidelines doesn’t mean it’s out of the game.

Most of The Bond Buyer’s yield indexes declined this week, as the municipal market grew firmer over the past several sessions in the last full week of activity prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Outflows of $2 billion caused tax-exempt money market funds to decline to $409.57 billion for the week ending Nov. 16, according to the Money Fund Report, a service of iMoneyNet.com.
