Yellen hasn't offered anything new regarding the monetary policy and hasn't shared any details on the balance sheet reduction. She reiterated that the US economy was in a healthy state and that the unemployment at 4.5% suggested 'full employment':

• Fed's Yellen: Economy's growth potential is likely a bit below 2 pct
• Fed's Yellen: I don't want to have to hike rates rapidly
