The Federal Reserve has four meetings left before Janet Yellen’s four-year term as chair ends in February. The latest one concludes Wednesday.
Her to-do list is full: A possible third rate hike in 2017. Restoring the Fed’s giant, $4.5 trillion portfolio of bonds and other assets, still bloated from the financial crisis, to normal levels.
And there’s the political item: Will President Trump reappoint her?
That will all be on display Wednesday when the Fed’s policy committee announces its next moves and Yellen holds a press conference Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. ET.
