Fed Chair Yellen: ‘Unwise’ to Wait too Long to Hike Interest Rates – To be honest I’m not sure what to think. Fed President Bullard came out just this past Sunday and said no rate hikes are coming this year, and the market rallied. Now Yellen is saying this. The verbiage is different than prior Yellen “talk” of raising rates, almost like she is laying out an understanding that things could get out of control and fast. I don’t think the markets believe her as they rallied still today after her statement.
