Market Post: Munis Weaker in Morning Trade

The municipal market was slightly weaker this morning, following the Treasury market. Traders said tax-exempt yields were higher by two to four basis points.

Market Post: Munis Weaker in Afternoon Trade

The municipal market was weaker today, following the Treasury market, as investors returned from a three-day holiday weekend.
Traders said tax-exempt yields were higher by two or three basis points. “The Street seems to be fairly busy right now. It’s a little bit surprising for the day after a holiday. Usually people are kind of lull in and drag out the rest of the week, but it seems people came into work this morning, so that’s good,” a trader in New York said. “Bonds are a cheaper today, though. Hopefully something will loosen up here and things will improve, but you never know.”
A trader in New Jersey, however, saw less activity. “It’s really quiet, but potentially off a few basis points,” the trader said. “It’s a typical day after a long weekend. It’s dead.”

Market Post: Munis Slightly Firmer in Morning Trade

The municipal market was slightly firmer this morning, ahead of a three-day weekend in observance of Memorial Day.
“It’s quiet, and people are ready for the long weekend, but there is some firmness out there,” a trader in New York said. “We got weaker yesterday, and now there’s a bit of a bounce-back heading into the weekend. I’d say we’re firmer about a basis point or two on the whole, just following Treasuries.”
