BNP Paribas has just issued a noteworthy forecast regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy, stating that the agency could carry out up to three interest rate hikes during the period from September 2026 to January 2027. This outlook runs counter to the market’s current widespread expectation of long-term easing.
According to analysts at BNP Paribas, the drivers behind this new tightening cycle come from the combination of three factors: sustained strong economic growth, persistent budget deficits, and a growing wave of corporate bond issuance. This situation will push the level of long-term yields higher and cause the yield curve to trend sideways.
For traditional financial markets, the scenario of rates staying high and rising again in the medium term will place significant pressure on the cost of capital, while also supporting the strength of the U.S. dollar. High bond yields also create direct competitive pressure on capital flowing into riskier assets such as technology stocks.
For the crypto market, a prolonged liquidity-tightening scenario will limit speculative capital inflows into $BTC and Altcoins. Crypto investors need to be prepared for a more complex macro cycle, in which growth phases will depend more on real institutional money flows rather than on expectations of massive monetary easing.
