The Corner | March 18, 2015 | Attention will focus on Janet Yellen’s remarks later today, as  markets await indication about the Fed’s plans on the issue of a rise in interest rates. Yellen will be speaking after the FOMC meeting, with speculation mounting that US economic projections may be strong enough to warrant a change in monetary policy.
