Equities and the economy U.S. investors continued buying equities yesterday on Janet Yellen’s releasing of the doves (with respect to monetary policy) with the “promise” that the Fed is in no hurry to raise interest rates. The major U.S indexes marked a 3rd day of gains with the Dow closing up 84 points, 0.5%, at […]
