Fed said accelerate the pace of its tapering, eyed three hikes of its benchmark interest rate 2022

 to 0.9% by the end of 2022, to 1.6% by the end of 2023 and 2.1% by the end of 2024.

many in the markets think that the Fed won’t be able to raise policy rates anywhere close to 2.5%.

If the Fed follows recent practice and raises rates a quarter point at each meeting starting in mid-2022, it might add up to a 1.25% hike by the end of next year. If inflation does what I think it will do, that will still leave negative real interest rates of -3%, still extraordinarily accommodative. 

But would markets tolerate anything tougher? Probably not.

Near Zero until 2023. Really?

The market will force the Fed to act earlier, I think.
