Calif. Market Close: Tax-Exempts Finish Flat to Slightly Firmer

The California municipal market was unchanged to slightly firmer today, as investors eased their way back from a long weekend.
“There is a little bit of firmness out there, but it’s really been quite slow,” a trader in Los Angeles said. “It’s to be expected, coming back off a three-day weekend, but there really wasn’t much business getting done. There wasn’t much going on in the primary market either, so nothing really to pull anybody out of their slumber.”
