BofA: Fed rate cuts unlikely before 2027 amid inflation and strong jobs

Bank of America Global Research now expects the Federal Reserve to hold rates and not begin easing until the second half of 2027, citing stubborn inflation around 3.3% and solid job growth (April payrolls +115,000). This revises earlier expectations for cuts this year as policymakers weigh inflation, AI-driven productivity, tariffs and the Iran war; CME’s FedWatch shows less than a 50% chance of cuts before 2027, and the last rate cut was December 2025 at 3.5%–3.75%.

Bank of America Sees GTA 6 at $80 as Catalyst for Industry Price Hikes

Bank of America analysts argue GTA 6 should launch at $80 to set a new industry-wide price point, citing rising development costs and Take-Two’s past move to $70. They suggest the blockbuster could justify higher prices across publishers, with Nintendo’s $80 titles and ongoing DLC/microtransaction revenue shaping the market. GTA 6 is scheduled for November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and BOA has raised its Take-Two price target to $320 on the premise that higher prices could be sustainable for big-budget games.

BoA’s Three-Condition Hike Talk Could Test Bitcoin’s Fortitude

Bank of America’s note says the Fed would likely hike rates only if Powell’s tenure lasts longer than expected, unemployment stays below 4.5%, and energy-price spillovers push broader inflation; higher energy and shipping costs could lift prices. Analysts warn a rate rise would pressure Bitcoin and stocks in the near term, but the crypto could later benefit as a currency-debasement hedge, with Bitcoin hovering around $70,000 after a spike toward the mid-$70,000s.
