Municipal bonds were stronger on Tuesday as several new bond offerings hit the market, including New York City's $1.5 billion offering to retail investors. U.S. Treasury yields fell and equities saw losses, leading to a decrease in triple-A yields. However, municipal bonds underperformed compared to Treasuries. The separately managed account business is expected to focus on shorter tenors, while banks and insurance companies may seek higher relative value ratios for longer maturities. There is a lack of interest in the municipal long end, which may lead to underperformance in the coming weeks. [Extracted from the article]
