Hi, need to submit a 250 words essay on the topic History And Political Science.

When she appeared in both her Senate and House, she emphasized policy continuity with Ben Bernanke, her predecessor who stepped down after leading the central bank for eight years. Just like Bernanke, she believes that the economy is getting stronger enough for the Fed to gradually reduce its purchase of monthly bonds. The cut in bond purchases had reduced from the original monthly pace of $85 billion in December 2013 to currently $ 65 million. The intention is to cut the purchases by $10 million. The Federal Reserve plans to keep short-term rates low or near zero in the coming times for an extended period with economists speculating that the first hike in rate will occur probably in 2015 even though some policymakers feel that it may be appropriate to raise short-term rates sooner. Even though the inflation remains below 2 percent, many of the Fed officials including Yellen say that the economy needs support from the Reserve until the job market, as well as the economic growth, improves. The Fed is progressively cutting its monthly bond purchases with the intention of keeping long-term loans low rates so as to boost spending and growth. She confirmed that the Federal Reserve has soft data for over the last six weeks and is alert on the upcoming data that will help ascertain the effect of the severe winter weather.&nbsp.These comments are encouraging as they offer investors a hint that the Federal Reserve might suspend or slow a pullback in economic stimulus in the event that the US economy weakened.
