Summary

  • Bank of America’s Global Research team said current market conditions resemble 1994, a pattern it argues could keep inflation pressures and market swings elevated through the rest of 2026.
  • The warning centers on how that historical analog may shape the path of interest rates and equities, giving investors a framework for judging whether policy and price pressures stay sticky.
  • BofA’s note adds to a broader debate over whether markets are underestimating the risk that inflation proves harder to tame even as investors look for clearer rate direction.
