NEUTRAL IMPACT
Yellen's comments on inflation and shelter costs may influence market sentiment and could have a stabilizing effect on the SPY ETF, reflecting the broader market's reaction to government efforts to control inflation.
While Yellen's comments are reassuring, the impact on SPY is likely to be neutral in the short term as the market has already priced in ongoing government efforts to manage inflation. The ETF's performance will continue to be influenced by a range of economic indicators and not solely by Yellen's statements.
