Investors were encouraged by comments made by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen before the Senate today, sending the S&P 500 to a new record high. “Yellen said that they would consider pulling back on their tapering schedule if the economy slowed in a meaningful manner,” Matt Maley, an equity strategist with Miller Tabak & Co., said. “She seems to be more willing to step back on the accelerator than she was when she last spoke to Congress.”
