Munis extend rally to start October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Municipal bonds extended their rally Thursday as U.S. Treasuries richened and equities ended up. Muni yields were bumped up to 18 basis points, with the largest gains 10 years and in. UST yields fell two to 11 basis points. The rally has been more of a technical driver. Absolute yields and ratios, at least on the muni side, are very attractive, with the asset class becoming "oversold," said Whitney Fitts, director of municipal portfolio management at Appleton Partners. That is what's driving the
September issuance tops $55B, up YoY despite selloff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Supply was up in September — despite the extreme volatility that plagued the market in the month and the rout that happened toward the second half — as increased project costs, expiring COVID-era aid and future Federal Reserve rate hikes helped bring issuance to a record total for the month. Issuance was $55.454 billion in 784 deals, up 13.7% year over year from $48.754 billion across 802 transactions. This is the highest total for a September, according to LSEG. Supply is $458.527 billion year-

Read excerpt
Munis rallied Wednesday morning, seeing gains for the first time in nearly two weeks with potentially the largest bumps since April 2025. Refinitiv MMD's scale was bumped five to 15 basis points at its 12:30 p.m. read, with the 10-year at 4.10%-4.12% and the 30-year at 5.13%-5.15%. The ICE AAA yield curve was bumped 12 to 17 basis points at 12:30 p.m., while Bloomberg BVAL saw yields fall four to 10 basis points. The rally in the muni market comes from some early-morning stability in the Treasur
Shelved mega deals may help 'stabilize' the market (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's two largest deals being moved to day-to-day status may stabilize the market, analysts said. The two deals, $1.81 billion Municipal Improvement Corp. of Los Angeles deal and the $1.7 billion New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority refunding deal, were both shelved on Monday as yields surged and volatility continued to roil financial markets. This pushes issuance for the week down to $6.5 billion, according to LSEG. With billions of dollars taken off the new-issue calendar and m
Munis expected to extend selloff as returns turn negative (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Municipal bond yields are expected to rise this week as volatile market conditions persist, which could lead to more refunding deals being pulled. The muni market has experienced an extended selloff over the past few weeks, with the front end hit hardest. Last week, the one-year MMD yield rose 48 basis points, while the two-year MMD rose 45 basis points. The 10-year MMD yield was cut 30 basis points, and the 30-year was 18 basis points cheaper. These cuts pushed the 10-year MMD yield above 4%, i
