By

Multiple municipal bond offerings this week have a high exposure to climate risk, specifically high Flood Scores, according to ICE Climate Data.

A $16 million offering from Greenpoint Union Free School District, N.Y., records a Flood Risk Score of 5.0 out of 5.0, ICE reports. Locations with a component Physical Climate Risk Score, which includes Flood, Wildfire and Hurricane, of 2.0 or higher out of 5.0 indicate high physical climate risk due to hurricane, flooding, or wildfire events.

A $195 million bond deal from Calhoun County, Texas, has a Flood Risk Score of 5.0 out of 5.0 on ICE's scale, while a $22 million tranche from Canisteo-Greenwood Central School District, N.Y., records an Acute Physical Risk Score of 5.0.

Elsewhere, a $7 million offering from St. Tammany Recreation District No. 1, La., records a Combined Physical Risk Score of 3.3, and a $10 million deal from Livingston Parish, La., has a Combined Physical Risk Score of 3.3, due to their proximity to weather-related events, according to ICE Climate Data.

Update: Market Chatter: Bank of Canada Warns Against Overreacting to Techical Recession Indicator

Bank of Canada Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers cautioned against concluding the country is in a recession after recent data showed the economy contracted for a second consecutive quarter, Bloomberg is reporting Monday."Two quarters of annualized contraction in GDP does meet one definition of a recession. But simply the fact that you have to put the term 'technical' in front of it sort of tells you that you need to really look past that one indicator," Rogers told a parliamentary committee on Monday.Bloomberg noted real gross domestic product fell by 0.1% on an annualized basis during the first three months of the year, Statistics Canada reported Friday. That follows a 1% contraction in the fourth quarter, a downward revision from a 0.6% decrease previously reported by the federal agency.Rogers said employment data and leading indicators should also be taken into consideration, such as a flash estimate for industry-based GDP that suggested the economy grew by 0.4% in April. "I think we need to be careful not to put too much weight in any one indicator," Rogers told parliamentarians.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally, and/or from other media sources.
