Powell's most hawkish statements were:

(1) If you look at previous Fed projections, we've moved up the terminal rate and the duration at every meeting and there is no reason to believe this will not be the case at next meeting.

(2) We are not even thinking about changing our 2% inflation target or cutting rates in 2023.

So he is very hawkish. But the market is choosing to hear what the market wants to hear. So anytime he adds in a proviso, which is just being realistic, the market jumps.

All that said, I still stand by my projections of a rate cut some time in 2023H2 (most likely in July/August).

I read a transcript of an interview with Larry Summers in the NY Times a couple days back. He has been right about inflation so far, and thinks interest rates may need to go as high as 5% if the Fed is serious about cooling things off.
