I'm convinced most people are incapable of comprehending nuanced language. Here's what he said regarding 75bps rate hikes in March 22:
"A 75 basis point increase is not something that the committee is actively considering."
And here's what he said about raising the target inflation rate:
"We're not considering that. We're not going to consider that. Under any circumstances. We're going to keep our inflation target at 2%. We're going to use our tools to get inflation back to 2%."
So, you see how the first statement wasn't a dismissal of 75bps rate hikes? But rather a statement about what's been presently considered? There's a lot less nuance in the second statement.
