Three interest rate hike expectations for 2022 emerged from the dot chart.
Two weeks ago, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell surprised market players by saying that the bank might consider increasing the tapering pace.
Reiterating that high prices are due to supply and demand imbalances caused by the Kovid-19 outbreak, Powell said, "In the last few months, price increases have spread to a much wider area in the economy, I think the risk of higher inflation has increased." he said.
Pointing out that inflation has been well above the Fed's 2 percent target for a long time, Powell said it was time to put aside the assessment that inflation was "temporary".
Emphasizing that they will use the Fed's tools to ensure that high inflation does not become permanent, Powell stated that high inflation is expected to continue until the middle of next year.
