Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen is expected to begin her press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Earlier Wednesday, the Fed left interest rates unchanged, as expected. Its statement acknowledged the May slowdown in hiring, saying the Fed expects labor-market indicators to continue to strengthen.

In addition, six Fed officials now anticipate that there would only be one rate hike this year, down from just one person in March.

We'll have live coverage of Yellen's remarks and the Q&A, so refresh this page for updates.
