BofA: Fed may hike twice more in 2026, but 75 bps may not be enough

  • BofA expects Fed rate hikes in October and December 2026
  • Inflation has held near 2.5% for several quarters, with the 2% target unmet for 5.5 years
  • 16 of 18 FOMC members expect at least one hike by year-end
  • CME FedWatch: odds of a hike on October 28 at 55.4%, and by December 9 at 89.6%
Why it matters: A tighter Fed policy weighs on liquidity and risk assets, including bitcoin and the crypto market.
