BofA adds January 2027 Fed rate hike to forecast

BofA ​Global ​Research said ‌on Friday it ​now expects the Federal ‌Reserve to raise rates by another 25 basis points in ‌January 2027, on top of ‌its prior forecast of hikes in December and March, after ⁠a ​hotter-than-expected October ⁠CPI reading boosted bets on ⁠higher borrowing costs.

"After October ​CPI, the Fed looks further ⁠behind the curve on inflation. It ⁠no ​longer has the luxury of hiking ⁠at a quarterly pace," strategists at ⁠BofA ⁠said in a note.
