Why Muni Bond ETFs Make Sense in 2025

The iShares National Muni Bond ETF is poised for strong performance due to its high duration and expected rate cuts by the Fed. Municipal bond issuances are likely to increase, but the overall duration effect from falling rates will be favorable for MUB. MUB has minimal credit risk, with most issuers rated around AA, and offers a low expense ratio of 0.05%.

iShares National Muni Bond ETF tracks the muni bond market with big exposure to California and New York. The maturity walls in 2024 and 2025 may impact the economy and trigger the economic scenario that the Fed likely foresees to reduce rates.

Investors were net purchasers of fund assets (including those of conventional funds and ETFs) for the third week in a row, injecting a net $14.2 billion for the LSEG Lipper fund-flows week ended Wednesday, November 8. A weaker-than-expected October jobs report, a drop in oil prices and inflation expectations, and rising hopes that the Fed is done hiking interest rates pushed equities to their longest daily winning streak in two years and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to its lowest level since September. The Dow locked in its longest winning streak since late July, rising for the sixth consecutive trading session, on Monday, November 6.
