A Municipal Trader's Perspective

It has been an up and down year so far for municipal yields.   Coupled with supply/demand factors and the Fed continuing its push to curb inflation we’ve seen rates bounce over all the place.

Below is the 5 year AAA yield curve since the first of the year.  The Silicon Valley Bank collapse caused municipal yields to rally to very aggressive levels at the beginning of March before turning back up last week.  We still think municipals are over-priced inside of 10 years and this should present a selling opportunity for banks.  The best opportunity to pick up yield is beyond the 10 year range where you can get more than 3% tax free yields depending on the call and maturity.  In fact, the yield curve steepens 60 basis points from 10-15 years.

 
 
 
Here are a few Missouri bonds that offer a nice pick up in yield.
