🚨 BREAKING: The Fed could shock every market this week.
Bank of America says a July rate hike would be "unprecedented."
Markets are barely pricing in any tightening... but if the Fed surprises, the ripple effects could hit stocks, crypto, bonds, and the US dollar all at once.
The market expects the Fed to stay on hold.
That has become the consensus trade.
But consensus is exactly where the biggest surprises hurt the most.
A surprise hike could push expected 2026 tightening from 45 to 60 basis points.
That would likely strengthen the US dollar, flatten the Treasury yield curve, tighten financial conditions, and pressure risk assets across the board.
Bitcoin, altcoins, equities, gold and global markets would all be forced to reprice in real time.
For now, Bank of America remains bullish on the dollar.
The next Fed decision could become one of the biggest market-moving events of the year.
Stay alert. Complacency is often the most expensive trade.
