Mid-Day Report: Markets Steady as Yellen Reiterated the Pledge on Low Rates Beyond 6.5% Unemployment

Markets are pretty steady awaiting Fed chair Yellen's testimony to House Financial Services Committee. The prepared speech was released in Fed's website already and reactions to it was so far muted. Yellen reiterated that Fed "will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings." She also emphasized Fed's dual mandate of full employment and 2% inflation. Thus, regarding forward guidance, she emphasized that hitting 6.5% alone would not trigger rate hikes. And Fed, will indeed keep rates at the current target range "well past the time that the unemployment rate declines below 6.5%" should "projected inflation continues to run below the 2 percent goal". Focus will turn to her Q&A session later today.
