Jonathan Mondillo, head of North American fixed income for abrdn, says the municipal bond market has been looking at a "teacup inversion," and as that changes when the Federal Reserve cuts rates later this year, it should set up well for a barbell approach, with the bargains and values being at the short and long ends of the curve. He notes that the last 12 to 18 months have been hard for muni debt and closed-end funds in general, but that with rates having come to a peak, there is now real opportunity in repositioning a portfolio, with record discount levels holding out potential for attractive income levels and heightened total return for investors willing to swim against the tide.
