A pair of hawks up next
Yellen's second day of Humprey Hawkins testimony is due to begin at 2:30 pm ET (1830 GMT) but first -- at 2 pm ET -- the Bank of England's Carney speaks as part of a lecture series.
The dollar and pound were both high flyers yesterday on hawkish rhetoric with both Yellen and Carney underscoring that rate hikes are right around the corner.
