Trader Poll

Following December’s jobs shocker, what should Yellen do?

If December's reading on U.S. employment had traders scratching their heads in confusion, it presents an ever greater question mark for Janet Yellen, the Federal Reserve's next appointed leader.

Will the data present yet another "good-news-is-bad-news" situation and inspire the Fed to hold off on its previously announced reduction in asset purchases? For many, a situation in which the Fed exits its quantitative easing program while the economy experiences light job growth may finally be the necessary catalyst for a stock market correction.
