Munis weaken, USTs mixed
Jul 17, 2026 2:21 PM

Munis were slightly cheaper in spots on Friday, as U.S. Treasuries were mixed and equities ended lower.

Muni yields were up to two basis points higher, depending on the curve. UST yields saw losses on the front end but small gains out long.

Friday's muni market was quieter, compared to the losses on Thursday. Kevin McGuigan, director at Municipal Market Analytics, said Thursday's cuts constituted a correction in the market and he expects muni yields to stay around the levels where they've landed.

The rate cuts were "a result of municipals getting super rich relative to Treasuries," McGuigan said, especially given "the strength in Treasuries and the diminished rate hike expectations" following a positive consumer price index report on Wednesday.
