A lighter, holiday-week #municipalbonds new-issue calendar and continued strong mutual fund cash flows helped tax-exempts outperform Treasuries in the broad market rally that was sparked by concerns over regional bank balance sheets. Next week's calendar is poised to rebound to $16B+ and includes a solid pipeline of BAM-insured school transactions in IL, alongside continued strong activity by Texas Municipal Utility Districts.

BAM Mutual reposted this
Yesterday, we wrapped up an incredible celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at BAM Mutual and I couldn’t be more grateful to work at a place that recognizes and uplifts the diverse cultures that make up our company. We hosted a food tasting experience featuring dishes from across Latin America, from ropa vieja, pernil, arroz con gandules, empanadas to sweet treats like tres leches, flan, Dominican candy, and Mexican paletas. What made it even more special was seeing everyone come together to enjoy and learn about each other's heritage through food, which is one of the most joyful ways to connect. It was more than just a lunch, it was a celebration of identity, tradition, and community. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this event to life and to BAM for creating a space for these moments and encouraging us to share our culture and celebrate what makes each of us unique. It's moments like these that make work feel meaningful. #HispanicHeritageMonth
