what happened
According to the Newsmetry API, citing a Nuveen report, U.S. municipal bonds continue to offer advantages over Treasurys despite recent market choppiness. Yields have climbed partly as investors harvest losses and move into ETFs, the firm says.
New supply is still increasing, but the market has largely absorbed the latest issues. Nuveen says recent municipal-bond underperformance, driven mainly by volatility and technical pressures, creates a compelling opportunity for investors holding cash to lock in elevated yields and attractive valuations.
Nuveen estimates that the tax-equivalent yield on a 10-year AAA municipal bond reaches 6.93%, compared with 5.23% for a 10-year Treasury.
why it matters
The yield gap highlights why investor flows, technical conditions and rising issuance remain key market factors for U.S. municipal debt.
