Bank of America Global Research added a 25 basis point Fed rate hike in January 2027 to its outlook, extending its tightening forecast to three consecutive moves: December 2026, January 2027, and March 2027.
That sequence amounts to 75 basis points of additional tightening packed into roughly four months, a pace that would represent a meaningful shift in the rate environment heading into 2027.
