Mark Cabana of Bank of America says it is too soon to consider the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening cycle complete.

Markets see one rate hike in 2026 as probable, although they remain divided on the likelihood of multiple increases. Future policy decisions will depend on inflation, employment data, and guidance from the Federal Open Market Committee.
