Stocks higher after Yellen speech, Dow near session highs
Stocks traded near session highs again on the final trading day of the quarter, with the Dow up triple digits, after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said there’s still room for the central bank to help the economy.
The job market in some ways is tougher now than in any recession, Yellen said at a speech in Chicago. She added the Fed’s “extraordinary commitment,” in the form of massive bond-buying and ultra-low interest rates, is “still needed, and will be for some time.” http://www.cnbc.com/id/101539304
