The Federal Reserve cut rates twice, signaling a shift to easing monetary policy. Further rate cuts in 2026, which some investors expect, could create more volatility in the bond market in the near term. NAD is a municipal bond ETF that pays tax-free income. But it also uses leverage to boost yield, which adds risk. Bramshell reduced its position in NAD, while adding to top positions in the iShares 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Vanguard Ultra-Short Bond ETF, and the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF. Overall, these positions pay attractive yields but with less risk than NAD. Overall, these positions can maintain high income in the near term while potentially benefiting from lower rates, which could boost the prices of long-term bonds in TLT’s portfolio. ## Should you buy stock in Nuveen Quality Municipal Income Fund right now?
