New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2011 -- Golden Networking's Public Finance Leaders Forum 2011, "Navigating Uncharted Territories After S&P's U.S. Debt Downgrade from its Gilt-Edged AAA Credit Rating" (http://www.PublicFinanceLeadersForum.com), September 9, New York City, will provide attendees with the first analysis of the impact of the U.S. credit rating downgrade by S&P, with a panel on "Obtaining Financing under Increased Uncertainty in the U.S. Municipal Markets". Recognized investors, government officials and executives from the rating agencies will debate the short and medium-term outlook for public issues in the U.S.
Municipal bonds have swum against the tide as of lately. Prices have risen and yields have fallen as many investors looked for ways to get clear of the plummeting stock market, while new issuance is running at its lowest level in more than a decade. However, the new budget agreement and debt downgrade may force the federal government to chop programs that aid states and municipalities. Reflecting this uncertainty and possibly a need to meet margin calls, about a billion dollars million flowed out of munis in the week when the debt ceiling agreement was reached, extending a four-week trend.
•With the economy teetering on the edge of recession, how issuers can structure their debt offerings to make sure they gain the lowest-cost funds possible?
•Are fundamental supply and demand trends still driving the market?
