Bank of America, Deutsche Bank add January to Fed rate hike forecasts
Several major banks have revised their forecasts for U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate increases. Bank of America and BofA Global Research now expect 25-basis-point hikes in December 2026, January 2027 and March 2027. Deutsche Bank added a January hike to its base case, expecting three consecutive 25-basis-point moves that would push the policy rate to a range of 4.50% to 4.75%. Goldman Sachs expects hikes in December and March 2027. All are projections, not confirmed Fed decisions.
