The municipal bond market is navigating a period of rising rates, shifting demand, and headline-driven narratives but the underlying story may be more stable than it seems.

In this episode of Muni 360, host Eric Kazatsky is joined by Jack Muller from the credit desk at MacKay Municipal Managers. They look at what has been driving the recent backup in rates across the yield curve, why the move in munis is largely a treasury story, and what that means for investors who are paying attention right now. Eric and Jack also address the noise surrounding New York City's bond market and walk through why the fundamentals there remain on solid ground despite the headlines.

For anyone trying to separate what actually matters from what is just market chatter, this episode offers a grounded look at where things stand and why the current environment may be worth leaning into.
