Oil erased an entire week of gains aschart-watching traders tested a keyprice barrier.

Futures in New York fell as muchas 1.9% on Friday, a day after closingat a three-month high. Selling accel-erated after a foray above $61 a bar-rel petered out, a bearish technicalsignal. The next key threshold is atthe $60 level, traders said.

On the fundamental front, U.S.-China trade negotiations slogged onagainst the backdrop of shrinkingAmerican crude inventories.

Despite Friday’s slide, New Yorkfutures are on track for the stron-gest December performance since2002 as prospects for a trade trucebrightened between the world’stwo largest economic powers.

An agreement between OPEC andallied producers to deepen supplycuts has also supported prices.

“Brace yourself for $60,” said Rob-ert Yawger, futures director at Mi-zuho Securities USA in New York.A dip to $60 “would supersize theamount and speed of the exit” byspeculators.

West Texas Intermediate crudeoil for February delivery fell 92cents at $60.26 a barrel at 11:07 a.m.on the New York Mercantile Ex-change.

Brent for February delivery slid60 cents to $65.94 on the London-based ICE Futures Europe Ex-change. The global benchmarkcrude traded at a $5.68 premium toWTI for the same month.

With interest rates at near recordlows and vast amounts of cash seek-ing a home, some issuers in the mu-nicipal-bond market have shed fi-nancial safeguards investors oncecould demand before buying.

The weakening of those cove-nants, especially on high-yield andlower investment-grade deals, hasraised the specter of more defaultsin the $3.8 trillion state and localdebt market, a haven where fail-ures are still relatively rare.

Andamid seemingly insatiable de-mand in a sellers’ market, muni buy-ers likely will continue to acceptfewer protections against defaultor bankruptcy.

“The only movement this yearhas been toward lighter cove-nants,” says Matt Fabian, a partnerat Municipal Market Analytics.“Next year is geared for more of thesame — slowly tighter spreads,steadily strong demand.”

Covanta HoldingCVA, a wastemanagement company, offered nodebt service reserve fund or mort-gage pledge to investors when itsold $50 million in junk-ratedbonds earlier this year. Nor did theBrooklyn Law School, which soldBaa1 rated debt in May. As part ofthat refunding, the law school ter-minated a mortgage that priorbondholders had on campus prop-erty. And the Pan-American Char-ter School, which sold unrateddebt in July, didn’t offer a debt ser-vice reserve fund to investors whenit sold bonds to build a new charterschool in Phoenix.

Covenants “have definitely got-ten lighter” in the last two yearsgiven strong demand for municipaldebt, said Matthew Stephan, head

of municipal bond credit researchfor Columbia Threadneedle Invest-ments. Bond buyers have accepted“weaker” covenants except in veryrisky deals that draw narrow inter-est, he said.

A Covanta spokesman didn’t im-mediately respond to a call seekingcomment. Officials from BrooklynLaw School and Pan-AmericanCharter School weren’t able to im-mediately comment.

High-yield muni-debt funds haveseen $18.5 billion in cash flood induring 2019, the highest sincerecords began in 1992, according toRefinitiv Lipper US Fund Flowsdata. That’s helped propel high-yield municipals to a 10.6% returnthis year, the most since 2014, ac-cording to Bloomberg Barclays in-dexes. Municipal-bond mutualfunds have enjoyed 50 straightweeks of inflows, including $1.56billion of new cash during the weekendedWednesday,according to Re-finitiv Lipper.

All that demand has helped pres-sure yields and made borrowingcheaperfor issuers with lowercred-it ratings. Along with the couponand yield, bond investors also re-ceive “pledged security” from bor-rowers, but it appears that “if inves-tors are willing to relent on income,they’re likely willing to relent on se-curity as well,” Fabian said.

With the trend of looser cove-nants expected to continue, creditsurveillance, open access and trustin management become more im-portant, said Dora Lee, director ofresearch at Belle Haven Invest-ments, which manages about $10.6billion of municipal bonds. Inves-tors have to ask themselves wheth-er they want to take additional riskas spreads tighten, Lee said.
