Puerto Rico Bondholders, Undeterred by Plan, Await Day in Court
General obligations with an 8 percent coupon and maturing in 2035 traded Thursday at an average price of 26.8 cents on the dollar, up from 26 cents Wednesday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Those securities, the island’s most actively traded, were first issued for 93 cents four years ago.
“It’s hard to picture investors who are still holding these bonds selling based on this news because this is what they expected to happen,” said Matt Fabian, a partner at Municipal Market Analytics.
