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.
“The market doesn’t feel so good,” a trader in New York said. “Everybody is showing me offerings, and everyone’s posting bids, but not really close to my offer. The markets were off yesterday, and now they’re off another little bit today.”

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.”
