Bank of America now expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates three times in 2026, reversing its forecast as recently as last week of no change this year. According to BeInCrypto, the bank projects 75 basis points of tightening across September, October, and December, lifting the benchmark rate toward a 4.25% to 4.50% range, citing resilient jobs data and stubborn inflation.

The shift followed the first meeting led by new Chairman Kevin Warsh, where rates were left unchanged; nine of 18 FOMC members now expect at least one hike in 2026. BofA economist Aditya Bhave said a July hike “is in play” and expects core PCE inflation at 3.5% annually.
