Visible Supply

The 30-day visible supply is compiled daily from The Bond Buyer's Sealed Bids Invited and Propposed Negotiated Offerings columns. It reflects the dollar volume of bonds expected to reach the market in the next 30 days. Issues maturing in 13 months or more are included. The 30-day visible supply of competitive bonds has been reported since 1927, while the negotiated supply has been reported since 1971.
