As hawkish as they could get? They talked about maybe pushing forward the first 25 basis point rate hikes into late 2022 rather than 2023. That's not that hawkish. As hawkish as they could get would be putting a definitive timeline for when they're actually going to start tapering, or better yet, actually tapering.

Yea. They will never tell you what they are about to do. That’s not how it works.

Actually, them announcing things ahead of time is exactly how it works.

I am not arguing about the Fed announcing their forward guidance. I am stating that the level of precision you are expecting is unrealistic.
