The March jobs report puts the Fed on track to raise rates by 25 basis points in May. The labor market is showing signs of cooling, but remains very tight. Bank of America still expects the Fed to keep rates unchanged after the May meeting, which means the final rate will be between 5.0% and 5.25%. The continued slowdown in economic data after January means that the economy will be weak in the second quarter and creates a significant risk of negative growth in the current quarter. By the June meeting, the Fed will have a lot of data on the second quarter, which should justify a pause in rate hikes.
