Janet Yellen

Federal Reserve board member Lael Brainard indicated Monday that she's in no hurry to raise interest rates again, comments that were greeted with relief on Wall Street.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Friday that the case for raising interest rates has strengthened in light of a solid job market and an improved outlook for the U.S. economy and inflation. But she stopped short of offering any timetable.

The job market is humming, and so are the U.S. financial markets, with major stock indexes near record highs.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Tuesday that the U.S. economy faces a number of uncertainties that require the Fed to proceed cautiously in raising interest rates.

The Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged in light of an uncertain job market, while offering no specifics about when its next rate hike might occur.

With the Federal Reserve considered sure to leave interest rates alone when it ends a meeting Wednesday, Fed watchers will be seeking clues to the timing of future moves.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen indicated Monday that the U.S. economy is improving but remains defined by so many uncertainties that it's unclear when the Fed should resume raising interest rates.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen says a move to increase interest rates in coming months will be "appropriate" if the economy keeps improving.

The Federal Reserve is keeping a key interest rate unchanged against the backdrop of a global economic slump and providing no hint of when its next rate hike may occur.

The financial world is awaiting the Federal Reserve's response to a critical question: How stable are the world's economies and financial markets?
