Jellin’ Like Yellen – Morning Linkfest (June 25)

Interest rates. Interest rates. Interest rates. It sees that nothing is moving the stock market more than the specter of the Federal Reserve. Will Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen raise rates? Will the Fed cut its easing programs further? No one really knows what Janet Yellen and crew will do … but looking at her academic past might tell be a good road map. Here’s Howard Schneider with Reuters (via the Chicago Tribune) on how Janet Yellen is focusing on labor.

CNBC (Reuters Staff): On the positive front, we may be hitting the Fed’s goals earlier than expected.

FT.com (Gavyn Davies): But is the Federal Reserve really that close to its goals? It’s a doves vs. hawks smackdown!

Bloomberg (Emma Charlton and Jennifer Ryan): Like Janet Yellen, England’s Mark Carney is also going with what the data tells him.

Bloomberg View (Mohamed El-Erian): And European Central Bank President Mario Draghi isn’t plying by anyone’s rules. Super Mario keeps doing the bold thing, and it’s working.

Wall Street On Parade (Pam Martens): Maybe we should just let our leaders sleep through the next Wall Street crash.

The Irrelevant Investor: It seems that investors are sleeping too. The market is quiet. But maybe quiet is a good thing.

ETF.com (Olly Ludwig): In fact, take a nap. All you really need is three ETFs and a whole lot of savings.

BuzzFeed (Matthew Zeitlin): M&A reporters are obsessed with sex. Cue the dirty metaphors.
