There stays a provide/demand imbalance within the muni market, which is impacted by various provide and demand influences greater than most different markets, mentioned Jeff Timlin, a associate at Sage Advisory.
A few of it’s simply how money flows “roll off” on a seasonal foundation, with the vast majority of cash rolling off in June, July and into August, he mentioned.
“So that you get these intervals of mismatches between when the issuance comes and when the natural demand comes again into market, like now, [which] is often a softer interval,” until the brand new provide is supported by inflows, Timlin mentioned.
October needs to be a “softer month” the place demand will not be as sturdy because it has been; regardless of this, it does not take a whole lot of demand to maintain the market rolling, he mentioned.
In order all of the offers get performed, it results in an orderly market, he mentioned.
Within the secondary market, a whole lot of the stock that the broker-dealers constructed up over the summer time is coming down, so “we’re properly off the peaks of dealer stock,” Timlin mentioned.
They’re getting just a little bit firmer on their choices, he famous.
“We have gone out to the market and tried to bid them again to sure ranges, which we predict is extra honest. They’re identical to, ‘No, we’re good with the extent.’ And stock might be getting just a little bit stale, however they’re fairly assured that they’re going to have the ability to offload what they’ve,” Timlin mentioned.
The firmness is primarily within the “wings” on the curve, because the one- to five-year space of the curve is agency outdoors of the munis inside one yr, he mentioned.
In the meantime, the five-year space continues to be sturdy as the large gamers are individually managed accounts in 5 to 10 years, Timlin mentioned.
“That is remained pretty liquid by way of the way you wish to have a look at the market, by way of its help,” he mentioned.
From the 10-year spot out to 25 years, there’s a noticeable malaise and lack of curiosity, with “not as huge a purchaser base there,” Timlin mentioned.
Curiosity picks up once more 25 years and longer, as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and longer-dated consumers historically are supporting that a part of the curve very properly, he mentioned.
