Fed chair Janet Yellen promises 'continuity,' further stimuls reduction
U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen says that if the economy keeps improving, the U.S. central bank will take "further measured steps" to reduce the support it's providing through monthly bond purchases.
In her first public comments since taking over the top Fed job last week, Yellen said Tuesday that she expects a "great deal of continuity" with her predecessor, Ben Bernanke. She signalled that she supports his view that the economy is strengthening enough to withstand a pullback in stimulus but that interest rates should stay low to fuel further growth.

Yellen's Testimony, Chinese Data Upbeat As BoE Hints At Future Rate Hike (based on Forbes article)
Considering the news flow, which has been generally positive for risk, the foreign exchange (forex) market remains tightly contained. This is nothing new; currency ranges have been controlled and handcuffed by central bank monetary policy for the past 18-months. Until there is a clear, distinct break in global interest rates, central banks will continue to play the same tune. Investors lean heavily on guidance, and with Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's debut grilling at the hands of the House of Representatives yesterday, the market was looking for any 'chinks in the armor' on the handover from one Fed head to the next. Alas, it was a non-event. This morning, the spotlight falls on the Old Lady across the pond. Will the Bank of England (BoE) disappoint? Since assuming the BoE’s top job on July 1, 2013, Governor Mark Carney has yet to disappoint capital markets.
