Moreover, fixed-income investors are also worried that municipal bonds may lose their federal tax-exempt status. But these rumors have been around for decades and nothing much have come out of them.
“While any such change would obviously have an impact on the markets, we do not believe significant tax overhaul that would change municipal bonds’ tax-exempt status is likely to happen,” BlackRock analysts added. “In our view, there is too much support of the current exemptions to allow for drastic changes.”
