The Fed hiked 25bps as fully expected and the statement had 3 key highlights: Hawkish - keeps "ongoing increases" (plural) language signaling no pause in March. Small Dovish - adds inflation "has eased somewhat" but notes "remains elevated." Dovish - Changes "pace" of future increases with "extent", as it transitions from the rate of hikes to the duration of higher rates before any pivot. As Inflation Insights suggests: "The one word change from the ‘pace’ of future rate hikes to the ‘extent’ of future hikes tells you that when the Minutes come out, we’ll likely read that officials have begun to debate when to pause."

boj the game is between a cat (the FED) and mice (market players) The mice know jumbo hikes are now done. Which is what currently is helping stocks. The cat knows that IF rates were to drop sharply, its inflation fighting effort would be anulled seeing player eagerness. So the cat is currently playing a delicate game with the mice' expectations about the size of the next interest rate setting. The game has little to do with inflation itself (that is FED's material) and mostly everything with managing (and pricing) market player expectation.
