Key passages

the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent.

Actual rate hike to 4.25-4.5% tightens financial conditions.

The Committee anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetary policy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent over time.

Explicit forward guidance for further rate increases, reinforcing tightening bias.
