The municipal market was unchanged to slightly weaker this morning, following Treasuries.
“There isn’t a whole lot of movement that I’m seeing, but the tone is a little bit weaker,” a trader in New York said. “We’re pretty flat in certain areas, but we’re seeing losses of maybe a couple basis points in spots. It’s quiet though.”

NEW YORK – The municipal market was slightly firmer today, lagging behind a sizeable rally in the Treasury market.


“We are definitely a bit firmer, but not quite in line with what we’re seeing across the board in Treasuries,” a trader in New York said. “You are seeing significant gains in Treasuries, but tax-exempts are maybe better a basis point or two.”

Market Close: Munis Unch to Slightly Firmer at Close

NEW YORK – The municipal market was unchanged to slightly firmer today.



“You can see some gains, at least inside of 15 years or so, but there’s not really much movement beyond that,” a trader in New York said. “I still wouldn’t say you’re better by more than two basis points. But Treasuries are doing well, and munis are following a bit.”

“We’re a bit better right now, probably a good two or three basis points, maybe even a little more in some spots,” a trader in New York said. “The shorter [paper] is actually doing a little better right now than the [paper] out long.
