Global Rates & FX Views: August summer guide
Mark Cabana, Katie Craig, Adarsh Sinha
Bank of America Global Research forecasts a pause in U.S. Federal Reserve rate hikes through September and likely December due to soft macro data and historical electoral precedents, prompting the firm to close specific yield curve trades. Simultaneously, the strategy anticipates Japanese rate increases by mid-2026 to normalize the yen against the dollar while maintaining a hold on Canadian rates despite recent labor strength. Forward-looking analysis highlights upcoming catalysts including the Jackson Hole symposium and the Xi-Trump summit, which will be critical for determining whether markets shift toward a short-dollar view or maintain current neutral positioning.

Mid-year review
Ralf Preusser, Mark Cabana, Adarsh Sinha
US economic resilience and Federal Reserve Chair Walsh's recent confirmation of a 2026 rate hiking cycle have triggered a broad revision of forecasts, shifting expectations from cuts to three hikes and pushing the US dollar to its strongest level in years. While major central banks like the ECB and BoE maintain unchanged or lower projections, analysts project the dollar to rally into Q3 2026 before facing a reversal in 2027 driven by fading US growth drivers and a global oil surplus. Concurrently, Bank of America Global Research has adopted a neutral-to-bullish stance on the Japanese yen due to improved balance-of-payments dynamics, even as volatility risks rise for the British pound ahead of upcoming UK fiscal events.

Summit, yen-tervention, & US rates
Mark Cabana, Adarsh Sinha, Meghan Swiber
On May 15, global rates experienced bear steepening while equities and AI stocks reached new highs despite unresolved geopolitical tensions and a lack of new trade barriers following the U.S.-China summit. Market strategists forecast increased upside risk for U.S. rate hikes and maintain a tactical bullish view on the dollar, driven by unsustainable rate differentials and ongoing intervention pressures in Japan. Concurrently, expectations for new Federal Reserve Chair Warsh center on his potential to shorten the balance sheet's weighted average maturity and his anticipated dovish reaction to stagflation risks at the upcoming June FOMC meeting.
