无注释原文：
Tightening at the Fed
America’s Federal Reserve is about to turn hawkish in order to bring inflation under control. The question is how hawkish.
A meeting of its rate-setting committee, which starts on Tuesday, should yield important insights.
The Fed’s monetary tightening will come in two parts.
First, it is set to start raising interest rates in March. Projections by committee members, published at the meeting’s conclusion, will make clear whether they expect to follow the rate increase in March with two or three more later this year.
This will be followed by “quantitative tightening”, a reduction in the assets that the Fed purchased at the height of the pandemic.
Some economists think that Jerome Powell, the Fed’s chairman, will signal an aggressive contraction plan for its balance sheet. Investors are not waiting around.
They have been selling off stocks and bonds in recent weeks, aware that a hawk is circling overhead.
