30-year muni yield tops 5% for first time since 2011

Bloomberg · 4 hours ago
  • The 30-year municipal bond yield crossed 5%, a level last seen in at least 2011, as a painful fixed-income selloff eroded returns in state and local government debt.
  • The move is part of a broader fixed-income selloff rather than a muni-specific credit event, with the long end leading the repricing.
