    Muni yields swing down after weeks of losses (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Munis rallied Wednesday, as U.S. Treasuries cheapened and equities ended mixed. Muni yields richened by six to 18 basis points, with the biggest gains at the front and belly of the curve. Muni-to-UST ratios fell by two to three percentage points across the curve. UST yields cheapened by two to seven basis points, with the biggest losses at the long end. The rally was not enough to reverse last week's losses. Yields are still higher than on Friday, when MMD placed the two-year muni yield at 3.46%

    Selloff is slowing, but munis keep drifting cheaper (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The muni selloff slowed on Tuesday, but yields continued to cheapen, as U.S. Treasuries were mixed and equities ended lower. Muni yields were cut by up to 10 basis points, with the worst losses at the front of the curve and the long end little changed. UST yields were richer by up to four basis points for bonds seven years and in and cheaper by one to four basis points for 10 years and out.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Munis started the week with surging yields, as U.S. Treasuries cheapened and equities ended lower. Muni yields rose 10 to 15 basis points, depending on the scale. Ten-year muni-UST ratios are around 80%. UST yields weakened by six to seven basis points.

    Big issuers' deals regularly joust in New York (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On Oct. 9, 2025, investors had the chance to buy $1.5 billion of New York City general obligation bonds. If they didn't buy those bonds, they had another opportunity — the very next week, when the city priced $1.88 billion of GOs. A week after that, the city offered investors another $1.5 billion of bonds through its Transitional Finance Authority. Mega-deals from New York City and state are becoming more common, and growing in size. New York issuers priced 26 deals greater than $800 million las

    Short-term muni selloff continues, but USTs richen (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Short-term munis sold off once again on Friday, as U.S. Treasuries were firmer throughout most of the curve and equities ended higher. Muni yields cheapened by up to 12 basis points, with the worst losses at the front of the curve and the long end seeing smaller cuts. UST richened throughout most of the curve, with yields falling by up to eight basis points, as USTs 20 years and in retreated from their recent highs. Municipal market conditions suggest the beginnings of a negative feedback loop,
