Traders had priced in a 100% probability, via Fed Fund futures, that the benchmark rate would be lifted 25 basis points to a range of 0.50%-0.75%. And so, the press conference is the big part of Wednesday's action.
Yellen will likely be asked about the future of monetary policy in light of the President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration. Trump, who had been considered the unlikely winner, is expected to begin fiscal policy initiatives, including a boost to infrastructure spending and tax cuts.

We'll update this post with Yellen's commentary as she speaks, so refresh it for updates.
