Bank of America Sees 110,000 June Jobs as Stronger Print Lifts 2026 Fed Hike Odds

Summary

  • Bank of America projects the US added 110,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in June, ahead of the Labor Department’s July 2 report.
  • The estimate is based on three straight months of steady job gains, moderate jobless claims and strong ADP private-payroll readings.
  • A result above 110,000 could lead markets to price in three Federal Reserve rate hikes in 2026, while a miss could ease tightening expectations.
  • That repricing matters for crypto and other risk assets because higher rate expectations typically drain liquidity and push investors toward safer holdings, as seen during the 2022-2023 hiking cycle.
