Muni yields fell up to two basis points. UST yields fell by up to four points, with the largest gains at the front end of the curve.

The muni market is closing out June with the curve “more or less static” to where it was at the end of May, Kim Olsan wrote for NewSquare Capital, “but with some performance in the longer intermediate range.”

More prominent factors in the market in recent weeks have been the resilience of yields amid another heavy “supply haul” and the volatility in UST rates, she said.

“Spot levels between 1 and 15 years have held in a narrow range, with just enough support to offset supply conditions,” Olsan said.
