The mandate of Janet Yellen in the Federal Reserve can be considered the “lost opportunity.” Yellen and the Fed delayed urgent and justified rate increases because they feared a bad market reaction, and they didn’t want to rock the boat ahead of the presidential elections in 2016.

However, the first press conference by Jerome Powell as chairman of the Fed was a positive surprise.
