Wall Street Banks Forecast Additional Federal Reserve Rate Hikes in 2026
Major Wall Street banks, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of America, now anticipate further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2026. Following stronger inflation and rising oil prices, forecasts range from one to three increases, with Goldman Sachs expecting a 25 basis point hike in October after a September increase. The shift reflects concerns over persistent inflation and the Fed's commitment to returning inflation to its 2% target.
