The Fed used the dot plot to send a strong signal to the market that future rate hikes would be larger and longer.

The median forecast for the federal funds rate by the end of 2022 is 4.4%, and the median forecast for the federal funds rate by the end of 2023 and 2024 is 4.6% and 3.9%, respectively.

Expectations suggest at least one more 75 basis point rate hike in 2022, with no rate cut expected until 2024.

Policymakers believe inflation will slowly return to the Fed’s 2% target in 2025, and interest rates may not be cut until 2024.
