Markets pay scant attention to Yellen's hints
Janet Yellen, the Chair of the Federal Reserve urged investors to be ready for the possibility of the Fed raising the interest rates before the currently projected timeline; however her words remain rather unnoticed. Volatility is close to all time lows, signalling that investors are rather self-satisfied with Fed's plans, yet this lenient behaviour may be premature and cause a sudden jump in volatility, putting an end to Yellen's intentions.
